Antoinette Curvy Clutch

Yesterday I managed to have a quiet sewing Sunday. It's been a long time since my last sewing project due to I am taking an important exam next year and my little spare time is dedicated just to study and in a another project that also has to do with teaching.
My lovely seven followers know that I love this Keyka Lou Pattern (on sale at the moment!). In my oppinion, this is the best curvy clutch I've made so far, especially because of the beautiful fabric I've used. Yummy Lavender got it and gave it to me last summer. She also made a lovely curvy clutch with another fabric she got in this lovely shop.

Today it's snowing in Madrid, so the light wasn't very good to make pics, but I hope you could appreciate how beautiful this fabric is.

The Spanish Muse is back

Apparently  the long-waited release of some of the muses will be next year.

An American Muse

I'm so happy to hear Fiona Apple is realeasing a new album! Apparently we'll have to wait untill Spring 2010, but I'm sure the wait will be worth it. For the time being, we can delight ourselves with "extraorinay machine" from her last album released in 2005.



She's both a great singer and pianist, don't you think?

Crown Appliqué Bag

It started being my first appliqué attempt and ended up in a tote bag.

I made a heart-shaped inner pocket in the lining and turned up a reversible tote bag.

Where would you take this tote bag?

Inspiring sewing rooms

My landlord is going to install new windows in my little flat. This is good news even though everything will be messy and dirty for a few days, but it is a good chance to re-organize everything.
I have been thinking about how I'd love to have a craft-sewing room. I think I would definitely be more creative if I had a room like these ones:

Nevertheless, I can't have a sewing room like these, so I have to resign myself with a little and unconfortable corner for the time being. So my aim is to turn my little corner into a space as inspiring as these:

Organizing fabrics...

Here's another fabric basket I've made to put away my fabrics.

Sweet Home

I have been away on holiday in my favoutite places ( I'll post some pics soon) for more than a month. I have had a great time! However, when you are away you always miss those apparently insignificant things such as your pillow, some piece of clothes (specially when the clothes you have packed in your suitcase don't really suit with the weather :( ) or just drinking water from the tap (tap water in Madrid is the best one in the world! , much better than bottled water). I have been in lovely and beautiful places, but there's nothing like being in my beloved little flat and do the things I love, such as lie down on my sofa to read magazines and catch up on other blogs: Yummy Lavender made some lovely lavender wedding favour, Pink Penguin has just come out a new great tutorial, it has been Miss Pelicano's blog first aniversary, Lotus Sooz is amazing in this photo shoot,...
My time at home would not be the same without my "high-tech air conditioning" and this new ikea fabric cushion I made to put my feet on.
