Pretty little things

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 🙂

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 !

And your use of them on the totes is simply beautiful. Thank you for writing this blog and for sharing it in English.

  5. 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?
