Pretty little things

March 14, 2009 19 Comments

A few days ago I discovered Arlette’s blog, full of great tutorials (thank you, Arlette !) and lovely fabric flowers and yo-yos. Very inspired by her work, I started making these:

Acum cateva zile am descoperit blogul Arlettei, plin cu tutoriale bune, yo-yo si flori din textile.
Inspirata de munca ei, m-am apucat sa fac aceste flori:

Can you belive that in 8 years of making quilts, this is the first time I made yo-yos ? Of course, the reason of that is I hate to stitch by hand. But I love these wonders.
I can’t find in our shops ric-rac, so I made my own:

Puteti sa credeti ca in 8 ani de cand fac quilturi, acum e prima data cand fac un yo-yo ? Desigur, motivul e ca urasc sa cos de mana. Dar imi plac aceste minunatii, cu siguranta am sa mai fac.
N-am gasit ric-rac la noi in magazine (doar auriu si argintiu), asa ca mi-am facut eu:

Making these flowers is addictive,
Confectionarea acestor flori poate da usor dependenta ๐Ÿ™‚

and a new way to spend my money: on buttons (I can’t resist to their colors).
si iata ca am gasit inca ceva pe care sa cheltuiesc banii: pe nasturi.

And this is what I made with these flowers: I attached them to these bags for little girls. I love them !
Si iata ce am facut cu aceste flori: le-am atasat unor gentute pentru fetite. Imi plac mult !

    Geta, I am more and more convinced every day that you are a genius! These are absolutely THE most beautiful yoyo’s I have ever seen. I am not particularly fond of yoyo’s but I LOVE yours. And your use of them on the totes is simply beautiful. Thank you for writing this blog and for sharing it in English.

    Well done Geta,very neat little bags. I am not fond of yoyo either but yours are very effective.
    I have also visited Arlette’s blog after reading yours and added it at my list of RSS feeds for blogs along yours. Thanks for sharing your work, ideas and finding in English and carry on with your lovely work. I really enjoy reading your blog regularly as it is very inspirational.

    Beautiful bags. These are much nicer than the traditional yoyos. And you did all this in a few days!

    I just love these little purses. I've never seen anything so precious. I have triplets that are turning 6 and a 4 year-old. I would love to buy 4 from you. Would you consider making 4 for me to purchase?
