A Month of Softies



I submitted one of my "Ceciles" to this November´s Month of Softies.
The theme was
"This guy´s an accessory"
so i guess this was just right.


Have you seen al the wonderful creations over there?
Here are some of my favorites (i think best capture the theme):

Miss Pompon,
Sunshyne,
Cecile Bonbon,
M.Patrizio...
...and Miss Pompon again.

chicadecanela in Vogue.


Posted by Picasa from left to right: hand-crocheted house coin purse, silk bunny charm and felt bird brooch.

Yes! chicadecanela has been featured in this month´s edition of Spanish Vogue Children. How cool! We appear in two pages, beautifully shoot, as if.

The bunny charm most of you already know about; a version in felt can be bought here. And the original silk version can be seen at my site, here (send me an e-mail to purchase).
The house coin-purse and the little bird are part of my newest collection, here you can see them in detail:

Posted by Picasa Here is a close-up of the hand-crocheted house, which has a door that can be opened and closed. You can see it has gingham curtains on the windows: that´s the purse´s lining!

Creation Natacha Matic!


Goodness from Natacha Matic. Posted by Picasa

This is not the result of yet another shopping spree neither what i got from a swap with somebody. This was given to me just because, out of sheer goodness, by Natacha Matic, a french creator who also happens to be my friend. I love what she does, her ceramic pieces are awesome and cute at the same time. I´m starting a small collection of her pieces :) I know she is going to be great -she is already!- .
She sent me this small vase in cute soft yellow that is soo Natacha Matic and that i just adore, and she gave me a whole lot of goodies with the eiffel tower as a theme-très chic-, she mixes porcelaine, cloth, paper...and that stripy envelope is so cute, with the painted flowers! Everything came so beautifully wrapped!

If you have some time, i´d love it if you went have a look at her site http://www.creation-natachamatic.com
and see for yourselves what the fuss is all about.
I guess the Draw a Witch Project over at Penelope´s must be over by now. I don´t know how they will be able to choose just 3 winners amongst all the gorgeous drawings that were submitted, i have a list of around 30 illos that i like! I will not give you the entire list, but this are the top 10 numbers: 17-22-40-67-79-126-124-101-14-95. Go check them out, ´cos they´re great!

(I´m nº24, if you´re interested)
