Random handmade things.

February 28, 2011

Here are a few things I made and didn’t post yet, but which I want to share with you. :)

 I love wrapping up presents with plain packing paper and then only adding some decor.
This is an accessory I made last summer. I bought this tote bag in a store for craft supplies, then added the balloons with textile color and stiched the strings with wool.
This was my first try to make a sleep mask.
 I’ve sewn these two rose pillow cases some weeks ago. I originally intended to sell them, but then I decided to keep them myself. :)

Here is a camera sketch I made for the next little DIY project…

This is again a tote bag I bought, then I added the lomo camera with a permanent marker. I’m currently thinking about making more of these, maybe with matryoshkas, garlands and more cameras. What do you think, which motif would you prefer?
This is a recycled accessory, because I used a red plactic hair circlet I did not wear anymore, then I added the tiny lace band and fixed it with a hot-glue gun and added the hand-stiched bow. I wore it last Christmas for dinner when Flo and I went out to a restaurant with a good friend, because it looks so festive. :)

I’ve sewn this bow belt two weeks ago, simply using red fabric leftovers. :)
 Here’s one of my hair accessories which can also be used as a brooch. :)

What do you like best? :) I’m always thankful for feedback. :)
Love, Lu

Weekend in Bremen.

February 28, 2011

 
 In the car Mogli always tries to be as close to us as possible, although he is belted up. :D
Hello! :)
Last weekend I was in Bremen, because a friend of us celebrated his birthday. :) We spent the weekend with eating, a little shopping and board games and I really enjoyed it. :)
Here are some photos of the weekend and of the things I purchased. :)

 :)
Those are the Town Musicians of Bremen, they are the attraction the city is famous for. I went there with Ellen I got to know through Indie Biz 2.0 last spring. :)

My new nailpolish, I love the color.

We went shopping at Primark and I bought those beautiful cardigans and pullover.
I simply couldn’t resist bying this cute owl umbrella. :)
 Here’s one of my Bremen highlights: guess what I spend on these pieces of fabric! :) I bought 25cm of 8 different types of fabric and only spend 9,50€ on that!! In Bremen there’s a little Turkish fabric store which sells yard goods at very low prices, for example 4€ per meter. I went to the store with one of the two friends we visited in Bremen and we could hardly decide what to buy there. I’m in love and can’t wait to start sewing. :)
Wish you a nice week, 
Lu :)

Flickr update.

February 22, 2011

Hi friends, I just wanted to share quickly that I’ve updated my flickr account. :) I noticed that there were many, many photos with a really bad quality and with disturbing backgrounds, so I edited most of them and deleted some, thus updating everything so that it looks more esthetical. :)
Good night, people out there, I’m going to bed now. :)

Radio days.

February 22, 2011

Hi online friends. :)
This radio is something I’ve drawn many years ago, but I recently scanned it and edited it, adding some color in photo shop. :) I love my new scanner and the good quality with which I can get handdrawn images on my computer.
