a little up date

Hi Friends!! Happy Monday and new week! Hope you´ve had a great weekend. Last week has been pretty busy here, sewing and more sewing! I´m making new items for the shop that hope I´ll be listing soon, and also sewing some orders to be shipped. I have many new ideas for new bags... I would like to add some backpacks to the shop and also some smaller bags. 
My sewing machine is behaving well, but is making some strange noises :( I think I´m forcing it a bit...too much work for a tiny machine...may be after Christmas I can invest in another one bigger and sturdier. 
Here you can see a few snaps from work last week and a bit more just around here.  
Have a nice week! xo!

gifts for your workspace

Hi, Folks! I would love to show you a few of my favorite things on Etsy, that I would love to have in my studio! My work space is just great, but could be more organised, functional and beautiful at the same time with this stuff, don´t you think? They can also be that perfect gift you are looking for in this season :)

Below the picture you can find a link to each shop...enjoy and take a look!

Hope you have a great weekend!

XO!

home sweet home

Hi Friends! Hope you are ok! I´ve been away this week, visiting my family in Argentina. We´ve had great family time, with spring days, blue skies and flowers everywhere. Feeling home there, and also here now that I´m back in Chile.  
Here I give you some "home feeling" pictures, and one I´ve made while we were flying over The Andes. It was such an amazing view that it´s almost a crime showing that pic here, it doesn´t illustrate almost anything, nature can be just amazing! 
I´ve used my cinnamon brown waxed canvas tote for the trip, and it worked great:  so comfortable to use, really roomy and sturdy! 
Hope you have a great weekend! 
XO!

Hi, all!! Just a few words to tell you that I´ve been FP (front page) on Etsy three times in the last 10 days, I´m amazed!! I´m in four teams on Etsy, and I couldn´t been totally happy because of being FP until today with Delightful Team, so woo-hoo!! I´ve been FP with all my dear teams in these last 10 days!

Hi, there!!

Hi, Folks! 
There´s been a while since my last post, we´d been pretty busy here! 
I´ve made and listed some new bags in the shop, and there are some still waiting to be listed! 
We´ve had four days of holiday last week here in Chile, so the week was really short with so much rush. I´ve also gone to a zone in the city where there are so many shops selling sewing supplies. They have everything you can imagine for sewing, and I´ve bought some new thread to try how it goes with the bags. It went so incredibly well! I´m wondering now how could I use something different before :-) 
Here you have some pics from the studio last week, and also some from our weekend ride. 
See you soon!!
XO

To my Spanish speaking friends: the blog and shop will be translated into Spanish soon, a little more of patience, please!! :-)
Para mis amigos hispano-parlantes: pronto traduciré el blog y la tienda al español! Un poquito mas de paciencia por favor! :) Gracias!

Hi Folks! Here you have some spots from this week, that went away so fast! 
Hope you enjoy the weekend, filling your tanks for the next week :-)

2, 3 Visit to an Artisan Fair here in Santiago. 

4. Cutting labels 

5. The new fabrics I have found for lining my bags. I really like the texture and the colours!

6. New waxed canvas bag in my shop.

come in, we´re open!

Hi, Friends! My shop is opened again! After being three months and a half closed because of our moving, now is reopened here from Santiago. 
The shop celebrated one year yesterday, so I´m launching a "Free shipping party" because of this first anniversary. The products that joined the party are the pouches, the pillow cases and the fabric baskets. All other products still have their normal shipping price. 
There are some products missing in the shop by the moment, because I´m still updating them for the materials I can get here in my new city. 
Thank you so much for your support during the past year, I couldn´t be working on this and trying to make it grow if you weren't here, so thanks a lot! 
XO!

2. my new studio here in Santiago

at the studio

Hi, Friends! During these days spring definitely arrived here to stay! We´re having such a nice weather, with chilly mornings and evenings, but the sun is really warm and you can be pretty hot at midday. 

This past week we had visit from family until Thursday, and it has been great. Since then I´m in a real rush trying to reopen my Etsy shop....so many things to check and organise! I´m in some trouble for finding 100% cotton here, which I need for lining my bags. I know I´ll find it, just need to found the right place to go. I´ll also have to update the shipping prices because of my new location. But I want to reopen right now and start working again....my hands and mind are needing a big splash of sewing! 

Here you can see a few spots from these past days....most of time working on the studio before the reopening, and our Sunday afternoon. Photos will be made with my iPad for a while... we´ve been stolen a few days ago and I´ve lost my camera!  

Hope you have a great week! XO
