The Studio

This is the Studio, a lot happened since this. This magic place is located in Buenos Aires Downtown at the historical (and sometimes histerical Avenida de Mayo). In the last picture is Dorita ;)

Este es el Studio, mucho pasó desde esto. Este lugar mágico está ubicado en el centro de Buenos Aires, en la histórica (y a veces histérica Avenida de Mayo) En la última foto aparece Dorita ;)

Discovery!

This was my participation in the Tv show for Discovery channel "Norte a sur"
Enjoy!

L'atelier

This is my work space. I must confessed this is not how it looks everyday...

Thanks

It's been a while since my last post. One of my 2009 promesses will be ending with procastination!
Meanwhile I wanted to thanks a lovely review Paula Alvarado made on my work, please read it:

My pets

Well, as I've seen in several crafts blogs, where writers introduce their family and pets, I present you my dog Blas and my chinchilla Eloisa. They get very well togeteher, even when Eloisa takes her mornings exercices where Blas is sitted in the picture! (Don't worry she's not always in her big cage). If you are interested on more stories of them, just ask!

Dorita's arrival contest

I introduce you to my new laptop. I hope to catch up my blogging with Dorita, the name I've chosen for her. Can you imagine why this is her name? That will be my spring contest: the person who has the right answer before september 21th (spring's day in Argentina) will win one of my necklaces that I sell on Etsy. In order to make you things easier I will post a clue once a week until someone has the right answer. So get your brains into work girls!

I've been whiped!

I'm so happy! this is like belonging to one of the coolest groups of craft bloggers. Thanks a lot "Whip Up", especially to Nicole from craftapalooza

Easy living style

Like this? I've prepared a small tutorial if you want to make it. I try to reuse this beautiful branches of a flower called here in Argentina "palo de durazno", and now (starting spring) is it season. I took punch holer with a butterfly image and some light blue paper and VOILA! I just distribute them randomly.

It gives a very soft ambiance, try it!

Crochet pink bag

This is the story of a bag as I was told. My granma Berta crochet this sort of grocery bag for my mother fifty years ago. When my granma died a couple of years ago, i tried to collect every knitted, crocheted or sewed thing made by her as a souvenir of the great women she was. Some of this stuff are still in boxes and every couple of months I open one of them so as to have a new recycling project. This summer (because remember it's the summer down here) I recycled this crochet bag by changing the handles and arrenging some of the flowers. What do you have as a souvenir from your Granma?

Pieces of me

In case you were wondering how I look... well, this is me at my flat. A friend of mine took me this picture making the bed. I use my place to shoot a production we made for fashion magazine from Buenos Aires 

Please remember that the girl in the first three pictures is a model!

Y esto?

A ver... decidí hacer este post en español por que no se me ocurrió una expresion mejor que: " ¿y esto con qué se come?". Bueno es algo que decimos en Argentina cuando no registramos dentro de nuestra cabeza algún antecedente de eso que estamos viendo, o nos resulta muy extraño, o simplemente no sabes que hacer con eso. Exactamente fue lo que me pasó cuando estaba terminando una idea que se me había ocurrido un tanto mágicamente. Es un tejido circular muy grueso con varios puntos que fui haciendo paso a paso. No tenía idea de como iba a quedar. Cuando lo terminé me gustó mucho pero con el inconveniente que no sé bien que es... Se los describo: mide 10 cm de diámetro es bastante espeso (con lo cual no puede servir de apoya vasos). Por el tamaño no puede ser una carpeta para la mesa, asi que se me ocurrió hacer varios, con un lazo para colgar, y armar una composición en una pared. Por ahora se me ocurre eso. Alguna idea?

The missing pillow

Well, as you've probably seen a couple of post ago, I' ve finished my bed quilt, and I thought that something was missing. I found the hole in my design: some pillows! but they needed to be a little bit more loose than the pattern I had made for the quilt, so I came up with the idea of just compose the fabrics without an order. Look at the pictures and let me know what you think!

Pañuelo viejo + Quilting = Almohadon chino

Esto es revamp! Un pañuelo que recordarán fue muy popular en los 80' lo combine con otras telas y devino en algo asi como un almohadón chino, los que se usan para arrodillarse en el piso. Creo que puede servir como adorno en el piso o sobre la cama como una mini quilt (sin ponerle relleno de almohadón). En este solo use guata como en las quilt tradicionales.

¿Qué les parece?
