And here it is, first part of the SAL organised by Ara. A beautiful design by Bent Creek. I made it using DMC floss, I am not auch an expert to be using those so expensive threads :))) I think it turned out quite ok though... it has a mistake, can you see it?... hope not too obvious, hehe...

Neighborhood Row
Y aquí está.... el primer objetivo del SAl organizado por Ara. Es un diseño precioso de Bent Creek. Lo he hecho usando las equivalencias de DMC, no estoy tan experta como para usar hilos carisimos :))) Me ha quedado bastante bien aunque... tiene un fallito, ¿se lo encontráis?... espero que no se note jeje....

La costutarta de Lupe
Y por fin.... ¡La Costutarta de Lupe! And finally... Lupe's Sewing Bag!

Tenía tantas ganas de terminarla.... (necesité nuevamente la ayuda de mi madre con la maquina de coser, por eso me llevó tanto tiempo)... la hicimos siguiendo el fantástico tutorial de Lupe, que podeis encontrar en su blog aquí. Gracias Lupe...
I was looking forward to finish it... (I needed again my mum's help with the sewing machine, this is why it took so long)... we did it following the wonderful tutorial of Lupe in her blog here. Thanks Lupe...

Bolsa para la base y las reglas de patchwork...
Esto es una de las cosillas que estuve haciendo este fin de semana pasado, con la ayuda de mi madre (ya que aun no me manejo demasiado bien con la maquina de coser). Mi madre, harta de ver cuando venia a mi casa, la base de corte y las reglas de patchwork de 60 cm por encima de la mesa, me dijo que buscara unas telas grandes y nos pusimos con ello. Creo que quedó genial aunque la combinación de telas no es la más bonita del mundo, pero resulta práctico para transportarlas y también para tenerlas recogiditas. La hicimos a la medida justa de la base, que no la veis porque esta dentro, para que casi no se mueva, y con la tela sobrante, un bolsillo por cada lado para cada una de las reglas (cm y pulgadas). ¿Qué os parece?This is one of the things I have been busy with this past weekend, with my mum's help (I am not very good with the sewing machine yet). My mum, tired of seeing when she ever came to my house, the cutting mat and the 60 cm patchwork rulers on the table, told me to look for some big spare fabrics and we started with it. I think it turned out great though the colour combination is not too fancy, but it very useful to carry them around and also to have them kept in a tidy way. We made it just with the measurements of the cutting mat, that you cannot see because it is inside, so that it cannot move too much inside, and with the spare fabrics we made a pocket in each side for each of the rulers (cm and inches). How do you like it?
Encuentros...
Hace tiempo que tenia que haber hecho esta entrada... pero estaba perezosa para sacar las fotos :)) Hace ya unos 10 dias quedé con Adelaida, del blog Taller de Patchwork, que vive cerca de mi casa y tomamos un café que se prolongó 3 horas... hablamos de patchwork y de quedar más veces para coser, pues siempre es una maravilla coser en compañía. Fué genial conocerla y seguro que nos veremos más veces. Ella me regaló uno de sus ratoncitos-alfileteros que podeis ver en la imagen de más abajo.
I should have done this entry some time ago... but I was feeling too lazy to take the pictures. :)) It's been 10 days since I met Adelaida from the blog Taller de Patchwork, that lives near my house and we had a coffee that took us 3 hours... we talked about patchwork and about meeting more times for stitchting together, since it is always great to stitch in company. It was great to meet her and I am sure we will meet more often. She gave me one of her pincushion-mouses as a present, that you can see in the image below.
Y el viernes pasado quedé con Elveawen en Coruña. Fue una visita relámpago pero nos dio tiempo a darle unas vueltas al mundo de la costura y como no, a nuestras aficiones compartidas, que como dice ella en su blog, somos unas frikis orgullosas de serlo jeje... Me dio unos detalles increibles hechos por ella (yo, la verdad, con mi falta de planificacion constante, no estuve a la altura y malamente le hice unos pendientes, snif!... y le regale unas telitas que me gustaban)... en la foto de arriba podéis ver lo que me hizo, una funda preciosa para el cutter (con un gatito como el míooooo) y un pinkeep, el primero que tengo y que ya está adornando mi casita.
And last friday I met Elveawen from El Baul de Elveawen, in Coruña. It was a not well planned visit but we had time to talk a lot about stitchting and of course to our shared hobbies because as she says in the blog, we are a pair of freakies, proud of being it, hehe... Sher gave me some presents made by herself (me, to tell the truth, with my constant lack of plannification, did not rise to the occasion, but I managed to make a pair of earrings, snif!... and gave her some fabrics I liked)... in the picture above you can see what she made, a beautiful bag for the cutter (with a cut like miiiiiiiiiiiine) and a pinkeep, the first I have and that is already as decoration in my house.
Gracias!! Sois geniales!! Thanks!! You are great!!

Más SAL de punto de cruz...

No lo pude evitar... nuevamente (voy a tener que hacer algo al respecto, esto no puede ser...). Hace ya tiempo que vi este bordado en algunos blogs y cuando el otro dia me enteré a través del blog de Pili que lo organizaban otra vez en forma de SAL en el foro de punto de cruz... fue imposible resistirse. Espero mantener el tipo.
I could not manage... again (I must do something about it, this can't be...). It 's already some time since I saw this in come blogs and when the other day I saw it in Pili's blog that they were organizing it in the form of a SAL in the x-stitch forum... I could not help it. I hope I can keep up.
Se llama "Snappers Teach us Border" y es un diseño de Bent Creek.
