Sunday Evening

It’s Sunday night, that ’not so nice’ evening of the week, I am in ‘my’ room, where the ideas, the creativity come to light.
Just had my lovely cup of tea, in the background the radio  is playing soft music
Suddenly I have to stop what I am doing and start sketching my idea.
Like Magic, I know exactly what I want, and it’s there in paper
Who said that Sunday nights can’t be good
The evening, the quietness and the inner peace have created a ‘Special’ moment.
Just have to ‘transform’ what is there in paper to a real object
And that might just be the first Original of ‘Simply by Carla’

Soda Water Bread

Well there it is something that is not sweet at all.
Didn’t have Wheat Flour, too lazy to go to the shop, so made it with White Flour.
Have to do it properly next time.

A huge Thank You...

... to Teresa for the help with the technical part of the blog.

Busy bee

Well the last few months of 2011 I didn’t show you many pictures, that’s because I was busy, making the Christmas Presents.
I loved the feeling of giving handmade presents.
Was Special!!
Here are some of them

Various Bags/ Pouchs

Nice Girlie Bags

Baby bibs

Yet more Bags and Tissue Holders


This is some of them, as you can see I am forgiven for not showing you many pictures in the end of 2011, I couldn’t

Scrap Quilt II

Here we are, this will be how each square made of 4 blocks will look like.
When will I finish? I don’t know..
But it’s a beginning  and there’s something about using scraps that really makes it Special
After all Patchwork used to be about that

Scrap Quilt

Attention * High dose of Patience* needed to make this quilt.


Start Sewing


Back Part


Look gorgeous!!! The only common part between all the squares will be the white row in the middle and later you’ll understand why.
This will be a long …… shall I say very long project

Jelly Roll Quilt III

Here is how it looks at the moment.
All the squares are sewn together.
Still missing a bit, next will have about three different borders to de added on.

Scraps, what do do next?

Bought this bag of scraps for £5.00
Have a great idea for it
Will show you later, going to try a new technique

And this is it

The purchases I made from the sale in Cath Kidston.
And some of them @ 70% off, bargain
Those blue napkins, I have ideas already, nice blanket mixed with denim!!!
Ideas is something I am never short

Two openings in town

Around November this lovely shop open in St. Albans


And after returning from Portugal, they were still on sale, I will show you tomorrow the bargain I got from there
And guess who’s opening in here too?
When half a dozen of shops are closing next month, scaring really!!
Jamie Oliver is coming to town

Nice one Jamie

Changes

From today onwards this blog will only be in English, the translator has been added.

Reasons? Simply because I want to save some time, and also Google is a great helper, and saves me doing that job ;-)

Be patient with me while I do all my changes in the Blog

Have a great day

Work in Progress
