Names on baby blankets! Arullo bordado!

So the customer specifically ordered the embroidered names to be light grey as the rest  of the embroidery on the blankets. And also this font. 

 

Sewing Suns and Monsters

What a few weeks that were!
Sewing Ocean Mist, Suns, Monsters and then there was some name embroidery on baby blankets for local shop for babies! And of course attending lot´s and lot´s of birthdays!!

 Ocean Mist appeared from one of the kids birthday`s on the beach that we attended! It was q perfect evening with friends and early summer breeze, so the girl (Ocean Mist) just came out naturally with her flowing on a wind waves-like-hair and green as water eyes.

 The Happy Sun was an order for a girl, who`s friend just had a baby and they named her Elena (like me!!) so it was only naturally that she asked me to come up with something for a baby girl. I think that the phrase : "Elena mi Sol" was everything that I´ve needed for the inspiration! What more can be so symbolic for a mom than her daughter being a sun for her? I know mine is for me!

And of course the Lil`monster! That's just came out from this particular weekend spent with my daughter and her terrible-4s. :)
And then trying to convinse my child to be a model for me also involves a lot of pleading mixed with chocolates!!!

My baby girl is 4 today!

She is so big and so smart and she knows how to push my buttons :)

I love you more than I could ever express! 

Happy Birthday my beautiful princess!!!

Feliz Cumpleaños mi hermosa princesa!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

"When love is gone, there's always justice.
And when justice is gone, there's always force.
And when force is gone, there's always Mom.
Hi, Mom!"

Biz tips for small sellers

So while browsing the internet I came across this wonderful, attractive, and super passionate speaker Marie. I usually get very inspired by people who can speak so easy and fluently about the subject of their passion.
It came out that she is super involved in helping others to start and be inspired to have your own business. She even has a seminar coming up in October.
Marie has a lot of short but helpful video tips on running a business and your life.
Me, as a crafter, I can relate on every video that I've seen from her website. So go and check it, it is a great website.
And for now here is the link for one of the important tips on her list: The single Most Important Factor of your Business!

They say- Don´t be rude!

But there is no other way to say it:

There is too much time spent on the internet: promoting, chatting, tweeting, pining, commenting, liking and etc. I need to set a time limit, alarm clock even, otherwise I´ll go insane :)
