Hoop Hoop Hooray

I could not come here earlier to blog once more during the week. I've got the cold. I am better, much better now, but I reserved the time to finish these super delicate embroidery hoops...


one more

Yay, the photos are huge!!! I love huge photos on blogs. The bigger the better!

pink and light blue

These are so spring like...and I just love spring too! This blue/flowered fabric is a vintage find.


details

I've listed four of them in my shop this afternoon and I have 3 more to list tomorrow. I just could not finish taking photos and editing all of them...man, I tell you...I take more than one hour to edit just a dozen of photos!!

new

I am not sure what's gonna be this week, I mean which project I will start...I've been planning to make different things every week and do it all in a batch. At this time I've finished six hoops. I am trying to be organized and more persistent to finish what I start. I have a box full with things that I never have finished. Are you like that too? It's because sometimes that not so nice feeling of "why am I doing all these things?" happens and I won't enter my playroom for several days. So, I am pulling all the fabric wasted, all the pieces that I had cut in the past and taking my time to use whatever I can, instead of buying more stuff.

I think I will finally try some collages on canvas. I've been procrastinating to start them. I want something with a vintage look, for kids' room. Colorful, playful...hmmm I am salivating.

I will show you my wip next days!

My hoops were featured on this blog last week! Pretty cool blog full of craft ideas and showcases !

See you soon!

First, your new works are incredible! Everyone is going to want at least one...

Thank you so incredibly much for the beautiful bag!!! I got it yesterday and I will blog about it soon! Your attention to detail is marvelous and I really love it! It is actually even prettier in person than in the lovely photo you had of it. I will have to get your address so I can send you a little something to say thank you!

Oh, I so agree. Big, big, big. And the colors are so great. Can't get over the ladybug perched right there so daintily.

Thanks for sharing.

Having fun touring your blog. You must have a pencil next to your bed to write down all your ideas in the middle of the night.

I love your work in the shop, and especially the first one as it is so swirly graceful --that's a mouthful !

Just one talented gal. Love to come here and see all the colors..............
