Scraps

You know how much I love when I use my scraps.

When you finish a job made of scraps the feeling is just fantastic

Today I saw a lovely blog with another great idea

This lovely quilt, from this very talented Lady is just amazing

I want one ;-)

But Carla, you still have one to finish 'she says'. True!!

But one can always dream of a future project

Love it!!

Qui sera……… sera!!!!

Sometimes, you just feel like trying, new methods, new ideas, and sometimes, after you do it, you put it away, until one day……
Then one day, you decide to pick up that piece that you have done.
And probably, that day, you add something to it.
You go through your scrap box…….. and ideas just flow
Let’s just wait and see

Easter Gift Ideas

The options are endless, just be a bit creative
Some Very Girlie Almonds ….


Have a lovely Easter!!

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’
Simply Fantastic

Help!!!

Eu tenho que admitir, é muito mais fácil ir a uma loja e comprar panos que condizam uns com os outros.
Eu adoro, ir a uma loja de tecidos e passar lá horas a fazer este exercicio
Sem duvidas!!
Mas depois temos aquelas pessoas adoraveis que nos oferecem panos, porque sabem da nossa paixao
E aí, é que veem os desafios, o que fazer deles, como os combinar, sao tudo questoes que nos passam pela cabeca.
Estas amostras foram-me oferecidas há pelo menos um ano, e estavam ali, e eu resolvi agora fazer alguma coisa delas
Nao vos posso dizer ainda bem o que. Comecou por ser para um quilt, mas sao muito diferentes, e eu que estou tao habituada a harmonia das cores em tudo o que faco
Isto é que eu chamo de um verdadeiro desafio
Estou confusa, tem ideias?


I have to admit, that it's much easier to go to a fabric shop, and buy fabric that match with each other
I love, to go to my usual shops and spend hours doing so
No doubts!!
But then we have those fantastic people, that give us fabrics, because they know we love it.
And here comes the challenge, what to do with them, how to colour coordinate them, all those questions that go through our mind
These samples were all given to me about a year ago, they were in the side, and I have now decided to do something with them.
Can't really tell you what are my plans, started with a quilt, but they are all so different, and specially me that is so used to colour coordinate everything I do
This is truly a challenge for me
I'm confused, any ideas?


Aqui as amostras
Here are the samples

E depois de algum corte
After some cutting

Como veem preciso de ajuda.
As you can see I need some help
