Blooming kitchen apron

Welcome back after a long weekend - too long if you ask me, as it was totally overhelmed taking care of the sick little lady with her 40 degree fever. Luckily my husband helped me alot with our Dawdler, and so did our family and friends, visiting us and replacing us for a few moments in playing with Zu. Thanks everybody! You are irreplaceable. 

Due to this crazy weekend sickness I wasn't even able to show you the Icons for Follow Friday #2, not to mention a new post. But today is a good day to do that, so here you are: inspired by the visit of my friend, Asia - blooming kitchen apron.

The best is yet to come...

There is lots and lots of things happening behind the scenes, which will come to the public soon, I even hope it'll be very soon. I'd like to thank all of you who visit my blog and thanks to whom I keep breathing in this virtual world. For this moment I need to show you just a little bit of what I did in the past, still keeping the best for the future. It's a part of a small box of things made in grey melange fabric. Small ot only because it's quite difficult for the begginer to sew this kind of fabric, but also because I find this colour pretty sad, especially when worn by babies and toddlers.

What I made during my journey with grey melange was the Cotton Baby Blanket, which I showed you yet in January (here), and the headband - a small masterpiece gifted to my younger sister, Eva.

 

You don't use a kitchen apron? Don't worry, I'll make one for you!

My dearest sister Ann and her husband is going to visit South America these days. What an adventure is waiting for them!!! (Oh! How jealous I am!) Before their departure we went to visit them last Sunday evening, and I have once again noticed (actually I have only confimed my prevoius observation) that my sister doesn't use the kitchen glove I made for her one day for her name day!!! 

When I visit Sokół, the kitchen glove and the apron I made for her new appartment looks like being used all around :-) And I love it! 

But, frankly speaking, I also accept the fact, that my dearest sister Ann doesn't have a need to use the kitchen accessories I made for her, although it is she who is cooking the most in our family (exept our Mom). I have to admit, that at the time I made these accessories for Ann as a gift, I was able to do only such things on my sewing machine. I loved the way the fabrics may be put together in different combination, and I thought my sister (or anybody else) would love it too. So there was a moment in my life, when I made only kitchen accessories gifts, no matter if the recipient needed such accessories or not, and no matter if he or she was going to use it or not :-) I didn't care as long as I loved the gifts I made by my hands. Well, I'll show you some of them, and you decide, whether I was right or not :-)

Black and white snow beanie

My husband used to say I always do these masterpieces for others instead of doing something for him. I did a lot of stuff for my friends and family members, and there was no time for doing things for the closest friend of mine and the closest family member. That was his accusation I had to face day by day. When I think about it now, I guess it was all of the inspiration moments, that gave me picture of things I am sure my husband wouldn't like to have or even watch. They were colorful kitchen aprons or crazy pixel patchwork throws, while at our home we applied black and white style.

But finally he requested a THING especially for him! The black and white beanie made for the big snow holidays we look forward to!

Patchwork Throw Blue - Beige

I've made a promise, that as soon as there will be time for it - I will make some photos of my first patchwork throw, and here it is!

First steps in patchwork technique

After a long break it is high time to get back and catch up on my Blog adventure. There is lot of work to do, meaning lot of done projects to be shown to you, my dearest readers.

Today I will show you the effects of my first steps in patchwork - as I did really some nice throws in this technique. Unfortunately, I don't have much photos of it, not even much of time when I was doing them, collecting fabrics, cutting, sewing, etc. So here are only the results of my work. Could you imagine I did all of this with my simple 888 Arka Radom sewing machine? ;-)

Pillow case - ciao ragazze e ragazzi!

After a long long break (isn't it the begining of each post of mine? Eh!), I am back with a new project. Guess what? It's all because of Sokół - she makes my creativity blooming :-) So she asked for two pillow cases, 35cmx35cm each. 

And who picked the fabrics? Yes, yes, the famous, great, fabulous Sokół. I trust in her taste and her style as she is doing quite well with her scrapbooking hobby (OK, she does GREAT with it!). And I'm never worry she would pick a fabric I don't like. So she picked those "Who is that girl?" fabric of Robert Kaufman collection.

Bespoked gift for Maggie

Today I'd like to show you the gift I made for Maggie. It was my friend Kamila (hereinafter reffered to as: "Sokół" ;-) who asked me to do the gift. And she wanted to have a huge impact on what it would be done of. So at the begging we (read: mostle she ;-) have picked some fabrics from Craftfabric Store. Sokół choose the Cats, so the rest part of the gift had to be adjusted to the Cats...

My dearest Sokół was the first beneficiary of the kitchen apron and other kittchen accesories (see them here), and she loved it so much (I guess ;-) that she asked for a similiar one for Maggie.

Accesories from Scandi Loft

Not so long ago I have received the package from Scandi Loft.  There wasn't a good occasion before to show it to you. And it is worth it! It was my first order, but well aimed in 100 % I do reccomend!

Here is a sneak peek of what you may find in a package from Pomerania :-)

Rising sewing lover

It has been for a long time now that I knew, crafting is what I love. I wasn't wrong, of course ;-) I realized that when it comes to sewing on the day of my 30'th birthday, as I got those simple sewing machine from my family. I started to sew right after the birthday cake! And here is what came out of it!
