Saturday at the studio....

It's raining here. again. The gloomy and sleepy mood is back but I am fighting it off with some toy making. I was hoping to take pictures for the monster pattern today but not sure how it will work out with the lighting... 

Anyway, there are plenty of things to do around here. I finished a fox with fabric called "Cherry Woods" by Saffron Craig that I paired with rose pink felt. She turned out to be very cherry sweet, didn't she? 

Mid morning I caught a glimpse of light and took pictures of doilies for the Plushka's Makery store.... These are just a few of them, there are also crochet hearts in store that I just love!

More of my new "Blossoming love" lavender hearts are in the making right now, in lighter shades of pink. 

.....and that's how I spend my morning. 

Hope you are having a delightful weekend! 

Valentine's day collection of felt love hearts

I am very excited to finally share with you my latest project,  and my first Valentine's day collection - "Love hearts". 

I began thinking about making my first Valentine's day collection on Christmas break and started by modifying Plushka's "classic" - 
"I heart owls" brooches  into a slightly different, more summery and girly design with a little flower on a side.

Purple and green brooches are the "classic" design that I've been making for about 2 years and the light pink and peach are the new ones.

As I wanted to make my hair accessories available on the different clips this year, I stitched a new heart design on an alligator clip. They are easier to clip on then silver snap clips, covered with a ribbon and look very cute, don't you think? 

It's a small collection but I do hope to add a few more items with time. There are still a few cross-stitched creations that I thought I will be able to finish by the release date but slightly overestimated the time available. The design, as well as the cross-stitch embroidery itself, require a few more weeks of work.  

So far it got a very good response with my VIP club members who got a preview last week and I would love to know what YOU think about my new creations!
