Squares for a small quilt I'm trying to make at the moment

Orange/Naranja

Orange has flooded our home

Cute Kitchen

How cute is this kitchen? Unfortunately it's out of stock! Look here And this is not bad either.

Olle Eksell

Another fantastic present I got at Christmas (this time by my brother) is this fantastic book by Swedish designer OLLE EKSELL. The book collects lots of amazing designs and drawings and I find it truly inspirational.

Gracias hermanito.

Back Home

So Christmas came and went and we are back to normal life, which in a way I quite like but I am definetly missing those sunny days in Madrid. Anyway, one of the good things about Christmas was that I got two amazing books as presents and I want to share them with you.

Home, which one of my lovely and talented sisters in law gave me (thank you, thank you, thank you!), is my perfect visual book. I just can't stop looking at everything that's inside.



There is a mixtute of spaces full of colour

And details with natural colours

So here is a selection (a big one as I couldn't decide what to leave out) for you to enjoy

And finally... Who wants to have a house with a slide like this? There are some lucky people in the world. Aagghh...........

Christmas Images (2)

Look at this beautiful Christmas tree from XT moveis! Graça, always has an amazing sense for colour and everything she does is vibrant and full of life.

Bird and Tree

Another of my creations. I'm making plenty of designs at the moment with these two themes. Hope you like it.

Pen and Paper

I've been much happier lately working with pen and paper rather than material and thread. Birds and trees are my current theme.

This is what I call cute

My favourite things from last Sunday in London. Cute or what!

Calendar

Just learnt how to do this calendar. You can go to http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/ and play with plenty of options. Lots of fun. Just don't tell my mum about it because she is going to receive this through the post soon.

Birthday Girl

Found a picture of Ana wearing her Birthday Crown in my mum's camara. How did she make her wear it? That's grandmums for you. And doesn't she look cute feeding some coffee to her dolly?

Back to crafts (II)

And here is a picture of the Birthday Crown (as inspired by Soulemama. No comparisons please) I made for Ana. No pictures of the birthday girl with it because she didn't want to even try it. She was probably right as one of my friends suggested it looks more like a garter than a crown. Great encouragement.

Back to crafts (I)

Ana is 2 today and this occasion (shouldn't we celebrate the giving birth of the mother more than the birthday of the person? Discuss) has kept me busy for a while. This little dolly came to life. Don't look too closely because many (and I mean many) things are wrong with her. And yes, that necklace is there for a reason. Don't ask. And I know what you are thinking about her orange hair, but I couldn't find any other colour felt even if I know I have plenty of felt somewhere in the house. And don't even get me started on the dress. How do people make these tiny cute outfits for dolls? Anyway, Ana looked at her new dolly and threw her at the floor. Charming!

Loving the weather

There is something about British hot and sunny days that makes me love this place. They are not like Spanish ones where you need to take cover and wait until the sun has set. Lots of sun, no clouds and a self portrait today after work... ahhhhhhhh, please stay a bit longer mister sun!

Colours of my Summer

Autumn in July

Feeling like Autumn in in July. When is Summer going to arrive?

Damien Hirst

Went to see this AMAZING piece by Damien Hirst on Saturday and if you have a chance go and see it. It's the most incredible experience. You go into a totally black room where the skull is vaguely lit and you are given a few minutes to stand and admire the 8601 diamonds encrusted in this real skull. Absolutely out of this world.

Tagged

I've been tagged by terra so here are a few random facts about me:

1. I like sunny days with thick clouds on a blue sky

2. I don't like soggy food like porridge

3. I like to categorise things

4. I don't know how to deal with quiet, shy people

5. I like a coffee and a croissant in the morning

6. I don't like waiting

7. I like little fairy lights

Sew Easy

Hannah bought me this book last year for my birthday and it has taken me a whole year to make something from it. The book is so beautiful it satisfies me by just looking at the pictures inside. This bag matches none of my clothes, it's too Cath Kidston, and it will probably never leave the house. Otherwise it was fun to make, and it's reversible!

Collaboration

Bucket and Spade

Last week at home by the seaside: lots of sun and light

This weekend on a camping adventure: lots of wind and rain
