Friday sketchers challenge nr 26

This is my card for this friday.
I bought the red paper for card this week, when I went to Ljubljana. It is MAJESTIC emperor red. It`s a bit shiny. I bought some silver and golden paper too. Green paper for tree and shiny paper for ornaments and bands is KYOWA origami paper. I bought that one in Tokyo last year. It is great for things like this. Picture was drawn by me and colored with my watercolor penciles by Faber-castell. Everybody knows the agony of getting tree lights ready ... They get knotted again and again every year :).

VESEL BOŽIČ IN SREČNO NOVO LETO = MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. :)

My first FS entry

I came acros this great blog called Friday Sketchers. So I`m gonny try a bit of my creativity. :) So, this is my first card ...I really think I`m gonna have to try better next time. :) (But in my defence ... I`m really sick right now :( )

My "forever yours" card (picture is a bit smudgy I think ... sorry for that. I have to find a way how to take a picture of this cards ... I think scaning them is not really good idea because they could get squashed :)) :


Well, this is it ... I`m waiting for next friday. I just hope I`m gonna get over this flue (or whatever it is) so that I`m gonna have more energy to do this :).

I was wondering ... is anybody out there? :)

Anyway ... it will soon be december ... and all the holidays ... So it`s probably time for me to make some Xmas cards. Every year I say I`m gonna make them myself ... but I never really got to that. :) Time speeds up in october every year. And - again and again - december always surprises me. So I send cards that I buy. But not this year!

It was/is a great year for me. So much happened to me. So why not push my luck a bit more. :) This year I`m gonna make Xmas cards. :) And I`m gonna start right now.

Come back for update. :)

I have been busy

I have been doing some things ... But lately I really don`t have much time. So, what did I do last two weeks? Work most of the time. But I did find few minutes here and there to do some sewing.

First project was finishing my res skirt ... It was giving me a lot of problems. But I finally did finish it. Although it did not came out the way I wanted to. But it still looks ok. I got pattern form an old sewing book we have at home. I think I`m gonna stick to Burda modemagazin from now on ... Because sizes in this book were a bit strange. :)

Zipper foot ... aaaaa ... I love it. :) It makes thing so much easyer.
My next project was toiletry bag. I made it very quickly. I did try to follow this pattern ... but I must admit I was improvising a lot. :) At the end it looks quite ok.













Then it was another party comming up ... My friend just graduated. So we went out for a few drinks. He is now a criminalist. We didn`t know what to give him. So we wanted to give him the best partner for work. :) It was soooo much fun. We gave him Rex. Not the real one. I made the inscription on the back: "REX KRIMINALPOLIZEI". :) Our friend loved it. He is gonny put it on the back shelf of his car.I finished my last project today. It was a top from very cute fabric. :) With small cats on it. Pattern is from Burda modemagazin 2/2008. Pattern no. 122. Very easy to make.

And that is it ... I think I`m gona try to make shirt next. :) We`ll see ...

Finally something new

It was my friends B-day and I wanted to give her something made by me. I always like to have small bags in my bag ... so that everything is well organized. I remembered this great tutorial for small bags. Thank you Javajem! :)

I got this really great fabric. White with red print on it. And one red material for inner parts of bags.My friend was very pleased with the present. And of course I was very happy about it. :)
