card

i wanted to excercise my handwritting in caligraphy, and a card for father's day was perfect. my caligraphy is gettin worse and worse, but i hope that from today i'll write something.. just because i don't want to forget everything.. and maybe i'll have a little job with caligraphy soon.. if i'll write good!

and i have to start the project for a little girl's room.. i have holidays! why i'm doing it to myself;o (hmm maybe beacuse i'm broke? eeeek;d mayyyybeeeee;d)

finished patchwork

i finished the patchwork tablecloth in the morning today. i want to try to sew a twill tape to it but i don't have 2m of it. i ordered yesterday some twill tapes etc. so on monday i'll probably have them. anyway i like it. it is croocked just a little on maybe two or three elements so i'm happy and glad;p it looks a lot better in reality, and i forgot to press it before putting on the chest of drawers (thats why it looks croocked on the photo). my mom wants a similar one for a table in the kitchen;o but it is so much work.. i dunno when i'll start doing it.. :)

oh and i bought paper flowers for scrapbooking at last! now i can start doing some cards (i always wanted flowers like those!)

hope you have a good weekend :)

and again

2 coasters to my room, this fabric is super beautiful but i only have a bit of it left, and it is very narrow..

i'm working on a tablecloth for my chest of drawers, first patchwork thing i'm doing except a simple pillow with a heart. it's really difficult and it's already croocked! and during sewing something happened and my sewing machine got crazy (she is sewing wrong now:( ). so i'll have to wait to finish it.. hope that not very long..

ok i'll try to fix my kornelia now.. 2 weeks ago i had the same situation and i fixed it, hope this time it will work too!

morning sewing

5 coasters for my mom (they look more cute in reality!)

and a matching mousepad to my computer :) and (a noticed it a moment ago) matching to my mouse! ;d

hope you like it :) now a break and maybe i'll sew something later, i just want to sew, sew, sew, sew!

i wish i had more fabric with the heart pattern and the blue with flowers one. i have from each about 20cm left! and they are so easy to sew and they areso beautiful!

kornelia's dress

my sewing machine (Kornelia) has a cover (dress)! i was sick of the plastick cover which  she had from the day i bought her, now she has a colorful and usefull cover. it has 2 pockets: one for the instruction book (it always lays on the desk, and i really don't like mess on my desk - one the contrary my room. i have always a big mess in my room but not on my desk! ;d) ad the second one for the scissors (usually i have them hidden in a tin but sometimes i have to use them not for fabrics so i have to keep them close).

BEFORE

the plastic cover i wrote about earlier

AFTER

hope you like it! cuz i do;p at last something colorful!

edit: 22:17

bigger picture of the main treasure here

and the biggest treasure! i'm in love with it from the first moment! my table is a bit too small for it but who cares! it's the most beautiful thing i saw for a loooong time! and omg so cheap! i was so lucky that we visited the second-hand early! beautiful colous and pattern. per-fect!

hope you like them as much as i do! ;d

we're baack!

we are back from our little weekend trip from Wisła! it was a super great time! and omg i need some excercises! after few hours of walking up the hills my legs and back on the next day were in pain!! it hurts a bit tyll now!! haha;d

here are some photos from this weekend trip :) short post, cuz i'm tired :)

little trip

we are going to Wisła today! we are leaving from Katowice about 6p.m (why so late? cuz my boy is in work today) and we will be back on Monday morning;d ha i'm so happy. we are going somewhere together for the first time;p hope he will like me when we will come back haha;p oh and we are going by train so i can't take a lot of stuff.. but i don't know how to do that;p i have a small backpack and i can't imagine how i will fit everything there!! ;o

and i finished writting a letter to my friend Asia, hope she will be happy cuz she has what to read;p (8pages of A4 ;o). i started writting in March haha but then i stopped and started yesterday;p sorry;p

hope i will have a good time..

pencil-case

a pencil-case i sewed today:) i saw it in Lotta's boog but i was to lasy to translate how to sew it so i did it my way, probably the same way she describet it :) it has place for things i always had in my old pencil-case.like always it isn't perfect. space for the rubber is a bit too small.. :)

now.. book.. and bed :)

pens

i love writting by hand using a pen, i have a simple Parker for few years and i use it all the time. few days ago i visite a shopping centre in Będzin and I saw a new dreamed pen. well i think it's time for a change! ha :) but i don't know which colour i want. i have a big dilemma!

pink, black or white?

the pink one looks better in reality but i'm not shure if it's a colour for me, i never liked pink (because when i saw it i usually saw sweet=superstupid girls). now i see it in a different way..

black? my present pen colour, i think it's a little too boring or maybe i have this colour too long.

and white? white? white? white? i dunno why white. it looks nice :)

there are a lot of different colours like orange, blue etc. but in reality they don't look very interesting..

please tell me which would you pick :)

new bag

my dad thinks i'm obssesed with bags, am I? i don't think so;p i'm just learning how to sew, i know some basic stuff now, but my abilities aren't good for sewing clothes or something like that, it's a long sewing journey for me :) but at least i started to sew bags without any tutorials :) it's the second one, similar to the one my friend Kamila has, i never had a envelope bag cuz i love enormous bag where i can put everything i need. but now, when i started to sew, i don't have to spend a lot of money to have something like that :) and i think that a small bag like this is sometimes really good (it has place for my wallet, vanity-bag and maybe a book will fit?). i had problems with sewing the handle but eventually it worked quite good.. oh except the fact that it's turned!! i have to fix it somehow tomorrow!!

and here is the same bag but with a pin up bow, i have to make a similar one but matt and smaller and then sew it on the front (but i'm not shure if i really want the bow yet;p)
hope you like it :) i wanted to sew a wallet today but i couldn't ignore my desire for a try sewing a new bag!! haha;d
now i have to go to bed cuz i'm really tired;p i woke up too early!!

fabrics and organise

i bought some new fabrics yesterday :) a black cotton (cuz my black linen is almost gone, and i can't imagine that i can have colorful fabrics without a black one!!), a blue fabric similar to the one i have my curtains of and a white one with nice green flowers (unfortunately it was the last piece, and so i couldn't buy more than 1m) i don't know what i'll sew from them yet, but i couldn't resist buying them!!

and i bought some tins for all my sewing stuff! i had things i use when i sew everywhere in every drawer and in every box.. now, at last i have everything organised in those lovely tins. they are very usefull and they look cute (and they were cheap!!)

and today, when i'll be back from my boy i'l probably think what to sew!

p.s the sun-rain-sun-rain weather is getting really annoying!!

new bag finished

the bag from yesterday's post, i finished it today, and made a bit better photos.. :) here it is!

the exterior (i know that the stitches on the handles are crooked but i used the backstitching.. now i know it was a bad idea :) the circles are from an old bag my boy's mom gave me to destroy;d (in my oppinion - recycle;p) they are very usefull as you can see :)now, the linning! two pockets and a keyring. pockets are perfectly measured for my iPod and my phone;d and the keyring is for.. hmm keys or my lucky teddybear;d i love this material's pattern!
and here the decorative stitch.. let's say it was an experiment! but i like it :)

i like it a lot! i'm not sure if it is resistant (wytrzymały) cuz i sewed is quite quick (quick for my abilities)

isntead the pale blue fabric i'd take (if i had..) a intensive blue, green, purple fabric.. something with an intensive colour!! oh and now, when i'll earn some money i will buy eco leather! and i'll try to make a bag similar to the one i have for about 2 years and i use it all the time!

and here's a photo of little sunflowers we bought today for tomorrow. it's the day when we receive our certificates etc. the official day when we end his school!

why sunflowers? i think that people who read this blog longer than a week know :) (except the point i love those flowers) :)

now i have to get dressed and woke up my body cuz my boys is visiting me today :)

have a nice day!

xxxx

new bag

a quite big bag for.. ME! i love it! but there is one thing i would like to change in it, but i can't: instead the pale blue fabric i'd use a intensive green or blue. and it's a bit careless.. cuz i wanted to do it very quick! and it wasn't a goo idea;p next time i'll do it slowly and i'll be more careful;d it has two perfect sizes pockets for my phone and my iPod, and a hanging something for keys or a teddybear ;d can't wait tomorrow when i'll definately finish it! i can't do it now cuz it's too late to use my sewing machine and.. i'm a bit tired also :) hope you like it!

pillow for my mom :)

my parents are going for a trip next Monday/Tuesday to Italy.. and my mom said that she needs a small pillow, cus they will spend a lot of time in the coach, and she doesn't like when her head is hitting at the window;p so i sewed one today:) i finished a moment ago, and she likes it! :) it's about 30x30cm, i don't have much fabrics, i used ones i have a lot. my first patchwork something! :)and here are some stamps i borrowed today from Ann, i like them aaaa loooot already!

and now? relax? computer games or something like that;d

xxxx

tote for Ann

i finished a simple tote for Ann today. first time without any books or something like that. two pockets inside. Ann picked the materials and i did everything like she wanted. it looks better in reality :)

now i have to think about a bag for myself!

p.s. i hate my neighbour from the first floor (15/37) please kill him.

i visited a second-hand near my home on Monday, and i saw a great kinda heavy-weight fabric, perfect for a lining.. but it was too expansive for me (i borrowed so much money from my parents and my boy, and now i'm seriously broke and i need money to give them back.. i can't spend on anything). today.. i went to this second-hand again, i was crossing by.. i came in and the material was there all the time! and it's Friday today, so the shop has super low prices.. and i bought it for like 2.90zl haha;d and i got this extra big thread for free! cuz the lady who was selling knew i liked it, so she said that i can take it cuz it just takes place in the shop! haha now that was a good treasure hunt!

and now the sad part of the day: i just finished watching the final episodes of Grey's Anatomy sixth season.. the last two episodes ever.. and omg i cried for almost 2hours!! i was terrified cuz i thought that Derek will die.. and and everyone will die.. and eventually the main people, people that this serial wouldn't be so superextra great were saved and are alive! haha omg i hate myself because of my big love to Grey's Anatomy.. it's the most inteligent, funny, terryfiing.. etc. serial in the whole wide world! i'm so happy that there was (almost) a happy ending.. if it wouldn't be.. i'll probably couldn't sleep at night! haha;d ahh so happy right now. and omg i want to move out somewhere with my boy.. i think i have to play Lotto games or something.. it's the only way..

my godfather from Poznań arrived.. i'm happy cuz i like him very much but i can't sew! cuz i'm ashame! and i want to sew an apron for my mom or a new bag for myself! can't wait! ;d

hope you have a good day :)
