My good news !!!

When I write a post, I have always the impression that it has to be a tutorial or a post about a creation that I just finished. Actually, this day I will share with you some good news that I received and that they will allow you, at the same time to discover other sites that I frequent.

 

The first good news, do you remember the table runner that I made to participate to the "Fancy Feet Sewing Challenge"?

 

 

...ok after a month of votes ... my table runner was the project that had more votes, allowing me to add a new badge on my side bar.

To do this table runner I used the Pintuck Foot, if you want more info about this feet and how I did my table runner using this foot,  click here

I invite you to visit  Rikka's blog, and see the other projects. For me visiting other blogs is always a source of inspiration. Here is the link to her blog , if anyone wants to see the other creations that have made the other participants in this challenge.

 

 

 

 

 

On the other hand I received a message from  Pam (from Threading My Way), to tell me that she have showcased my tutorial "Let's make a Sausage Pillowcase "

 

 

...my tutorial is among the top 10 Pillow and Cushion Tutorials that she chose to featured!!!!

 Thank you Pam!!!!

 

 

 

 

This is the link to the wonderful, Threading My Way  blog, and here is the link to the page with the Ten Pillow and Cushion Tutorials. What I like , when I visit Pam's blog is the variety of projects, tutorials, and the all Ongoing Link Parties that allow us to  discover other blogs.

I propose to you something, get comfortable, prepare something to drink and enjoy Pam's blog, you will be spending a few hours there, there's a bit of everything for everyone , you will love it!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

More news... I just saw that one of my tutorials was published on Fave crafts. Yes!!!!!

 My "Let's sew a needle case using recycled jeans" was published!!!

 

 

What  beautiful news!  I know that some of you have already  seen this tutorial  before , but maybe it's a new project for the new visitors, well I give you the direct link to my post here, this post  is a tutorial that I did showing how to create this needle case using a pair of old jeans . If you click Here you can see the publication of my post, and at the same time you can visit Fave crafts where you will find a variety of tutorials.

 

 

 

 

But I can not end this post without showing something I've done lately, I know that I always show you my sewing projects and creations made with wool, but  today I have a novelty, I made this necklace and I'm really proud. I have intentions to expand a bit my creations and maybe I will starts to show you some jewelry creations with some tutorials. What do you think of this?

 

 

I end my post with some pictures I've taken from my necklace, hope you like it. 

 

 

 

As always, I remind you that I love getting your comments, you are the ones that feed my urge to create!

Have a nice day!

I want to say thanks to  Rikka for hosting this challenge, all the scarves that

have been created for this challenge are beautiful. Congratulations to Linda and

Fiona, your scarves are terrific, and also to everyone who participated, because

each one of us has tried a new technique, we have learned something new and created

something unique.If you want to see the photos of the other winners are here. I

feel honored to have the first prize, thanks to all of you who voted for my scarf.
Here is the beautiful new badge I received
 

These are the pictures of the scarf that allowed me to take the first place in the
challenge:

This scarf is made out by using water soluble stabilizer, yarns and threads and the
tutorial where I show how to make this scarf is here.

I wish you all a beautiful and creative 2013, I have many ideas of projects I want

to do, I am currently working on a tutorial for a needle case I made using an old

pair of jeans, the year will begin with the topic recycling and reuse, something we

all love, as we return to give life to something that is no longer useful to us and

we make a nice gesture for our planet and our wallet ...

 

See you soon
