Our Creative Space...

I proudly present you are super neat sewing room :)

I have shown you this before but it was never so neat and tidy, and before this gets messed up again I had to proof it to you.

Everything is organized either by color or by type, like linen, gingham etc.

This makes creating so much easier, instead of searching for materials for ages we can find everything right away, an unknown blessing.

These picture might inspire you too ;)

Beach finds

The other day we went to the beach. In summer time we hardly find sea urchins but our main mission was driftwood so I can make new boats and other home decor :)

We had some good finds, also some pieces of fishing nets and the most curious were bones.

We have no idea what this animal was, it is a partial skull and is missing its jaws therefor hard to identify plus the fact that we are no expert in the subject.

It reminds us of a big bird, but most likely is something enterily different because it must be a huge bird if that is the case. We checked online for the skulls of sheep, goats, seals and other animals that could be in the neighborhood but none are close to it, we found the dolphin skull the closest so we are guessing that but please correct us if you are an expert :)

The bones are beautifully cleaned and dried by the sea and the sun.

I also found very close by the skull vertibraes (I think) but they might be of an other animal, we have no idea.

We do know that they super cool :)

Our Creative Space...

To make a bag is easier than to sell a bag, no surprise here. And bags are bulky things, so we can not storage many.
So I have decided to make mostly very time roving bags to keep the production under control :) I need to make LESS bags.

Smocking is time roving enough, so it is the time for smocked bags.
Smocking is also one of the most effective ways to alter fabric. A simple stripe becomes something totally different. And it is easier than it seems.
And it is addictive, too

So it progresses rather quickly, till I run out of thread.
Shops are closed for three days because it is the Sugar Feast,the three days lasting sugar overdose after the month of Ramadan, the month when muslims fast by day and gorge themselves at night.

This pretty painted linen will be the joke of the bag.
And what do you do when you can not continue because you have no thread?

You start a new bag, of course.
