Today I want to share with you a beautiful and fast project, also the result of the giveaway...

 

And  the winner of the little bow pleat pattern is...

 

 

But before giving the result I want to show the little chickens I've been doing.

Actually they are juggling chooks, but I

want to use them  as decoration in my sewing room. 

I filled them with  oat seeds, so as the cooler days begin, I'm going to heat

them  in the microwave and warm my hands with them.

Here I show the pictures I've taken.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Un proyecto hermoso y rapido, tambien  comparto con ustedes el resultado del

sorteo, el ganador del patron de el bolso "the  little bow pleat"  es..

Un momento por favor, antes de darles el resultado del sorteo, quiero mostrarles las gallinitas que he estado  haciendo.

En realidad son para jugar y hacer malavarismo , pero yo las quiero usar como decoración en mi sala de costura. Yo las rellené con semillas de avena, de esta manera cuando los dias frios comiencen, las voy a calentar en el microondas y podré calentar mis manos con ellas.

 Aqui les muestro las fotos que he tomado.

This project is not my idea, I found this project  when I visited

 the Red Ted Art's blog.

 

As I said earlier is a project that is done very fast, is a way to use fabric

scraps, you only need a rectangle of 10 x 20 cm of fabric ( 4"x8"inches)

The tutorial is well explained, with many pictures that facilitate the

realization of the project, the link to the Red Ted Art's blog is here.
  Here I leave you with more pictures and with the draw.
 



Este proyecto no es una idea mia, la inspiracion la encontré mientras estaba

visitando el  sitio Red Ted Art's blog 

Como dije anteriormente es un proyecto que se realiza muy rápido, es una manera

de usar restos de tela, solo se necesita un rectangulo de 10 x 20 cm de tela o

4"x8" pulgadas .

El tutorial esta muy bien  explicado, con muchas fotos que facilitan la

realización del proyecto, el enlace hacia the Red Ted Art's blog, esta aqui. 

Aqui los dejo con mas fotos y con el resultado del sorteo.

I'm linking this giveaway to Freemotion by the River , Giveaways4Prices, homework  and Mommy Only Has 2 Hands. 

 

Let's make a crocheted hat in a weekend.

Here the winter is properly installed, despite sunny days, the cold is intense. For

me it is the perfect  motivation to do crochet accessories, that's why I made this hat and I love it.

 



This hat was designed by Sara Dudek, I bought the magazine  online, the name of the magazine is "Hooked on crochet Hats II" and  the link to buy it is here, if anyone is interested. ( I just want to warn you that I have no affiliation with that magazine, I just want to share with you the information because I really liked it the magazine)

The name of this pattern  is the "limited sans hats", as I finished it, I tried it 

and since then it's my favorite hat. The most important thing is that other than

being cute, it keeps my ears warm!

 

 

 

Here I are more photos that I took, I was so happy with my result that I took

pictures from the front, side, back, top, sorry I couldn't stop taking photos!!

 





 

I think that is the variegated yarn that I used whom gives to this hat that beautiful look, because  it was by using that variegated yarn that  I could give  an interesting texture to this hat, without any extra effort other than follow the instructions of the pattern. The yarn that I used is "LOOPS & THREADS" Impeccable, and the color is EARTH OMBRE #04001.

 

 

I have other news to share with you, look at the next picture, isn't a nice

montage, right?

 

I did it with " My Memories Suite v4, digital scrapbooking software"

Now the good news!!!!
 I'm super excited to tell you that the company "My Memories" contacted me a couple of days ago, offering me the software "My Memories Suite" to give away on this blog.

My Memories Suite v4 is a fun and easy way to create scrapbooks, photobooks and more, I personally love scrapbooking and have long thought about the possibility of buying a software that is easy to use to create unique pictures, now I found it!

 

I started looking at some tutorials on you tube and discovered that this software

allows us to make buttons and banners for our blogs and create beautiful photos! The information about the giveaway will be in my next post, but if you want to go and see the features of this software, here I leave the link.

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this post, do not forget to leave me your comments, it gives me great pleasure to read them all, and answer your questions.

There's something else I want to tell you, is that everybody can participate in

this giveaway it is not necessary to be follower of my blog, but those who are

followers will have an extra opportunity to participate , OK... I will explain this in my next post so ...stay tuned !!!!!

 

Have a nice day!
Marisa.
