Navy blue knitted Bag



This my other knitted bag in which I used plastic circles to make the center of the flowers. I had to knitt about 24 flowers and then sew them together. The handle of the bag is Macrame though.

Brown Macrame Bag



I made this bag when I came here with some cord my sister sent me from Peru last year.
I used the plain knot at the beginning and other one that looks like the chinese knots a little bit. Took a couple of weeks to finish it.

MANGENTA KNITTED BAG




This is the 2nd bag I made when I took the macrame classes but this one is knitted. I used a hard base for the bottom of the bag. Though handles are not knitted they're macrame.

MY 1ST MACRAME BAG



I took some classes in Macrame while I was still living in Peru and this is the 1st bag I made. It took me a little to get the knots right but it was worth the efforts. It's not that complicated as it may seem. All you need to start is thread and mayve some pins to hold the threads to a surface (I use the pins on a cushion) and that's all the equipment you'll use. In this one I made lots of "plain" and "cord" knots. I also used 72 lengths of cord for this bag each measuring 3 meters.

NEW STORAGE BOUGHT IN DUBLIN



This is my new bead and embellishment storage I got on the weekend when Kevin and I went to Dublin on Saturday. I thought it would be great for storing my glass, wooden and metal beads as well as other embellishemts. I still haven't finished to fill all the drawers and I also not sure where I'll place it yet but I love it! It will make easier for me to find my beads and small embellihments so my cards and other project will be finished quicker.

I also got some bargain paper, card and felt in the 2 euros shops and wooden letters and beads in a toyshop. You can see the letters in one of the bottom drawers of my new "chest of drawers"

TU Y YO



This a page I made using a similar idea from the page above but this time I used a different shape and I only highlight some parts of it which big paper roses I made myself from plain white paper and which I coloured using chalks. I made the title using a stencil and adding some faux stitching with a fine pen.I added some 3D foam pads to the letters for more dimension. I also used some Papermania dome butterfly stickers on one side of the picture.
This picture was taken in my parents' house in Peru when my now husband Kevin came for a 3rd time to Peru. It was a Sunday morning and my sister took the pictures for us.

WIRE CHRISTMAS



This is the wire tree and beads I made using a wire gig. I added the beads as I was twisting the wire around the pegs. This is my 2nd wire tree and I like the result very much. Looks really funky but at the same time it's still traditional. Used some small round brads to attach it to the mulberry paper and card. I'm into wire embellishments these days!
