Not Long ago...

Is one year too long ago? If you are a new visitor you probably don't know that I have started this blog in 2006. It happened that in September 2007 I got crazy and I deleted one year of posts. Well, I don't regreted it. It had information that today I don't share with the public, so I thought that it was a good thing. 

So...there are a lot of things I did not show on this new blog and I went through my files and I just would like to revive some of things I did not long ago...

These were made in 2005 - 2006 when I discovered the craft blogland! It was so contagious, I wanted to create and try new ideas. The lady bug box  was the first item sold on Etsy in 2006. I remember that a man bought it for his sister (for X-mas) and I had an account at Etsy named Desert Blossoms. In fact, Pixie Blossoms was once called Desert Blossoms but I did not really like that name. Plus, I don't live in the desert anymore!

Not Long Ago

The pink bird house is hanging outside. It became a wasp nest...I saw a strange movement of wasps in and out another day and when I looked inside, a wasp nest was built! 


Not Long Ago

The canvas with a choo choo train I made for my son. I used acrylic paint and dimensional fabric paint. Believe or not, this canvas disappeared after we moved homes twice! It could be in the garage packed somewhere...our garage is a mess but that is hubby's business!!

The first bag I got sold on Etsy! I was so not confident that I would ever sell something...it was scary and when I got my first positive feedback I knew that I could do some more!

The mobile made of a embroidery hoop. That was too fun to make last year! 

Last, the bird mobile I made for my son's room. I used an aspen tree branch, paint, ribbons, beads and those birds we can buy at Michaels. We don't have it anymore because little one was too crazy about it and trying to get the birds for him, pulled it down and the branch cracked in pieces. He said sorry and cried so much...I did not punish my child for that...he did not mean it. He was just too curious and amazed by those colors!!
