Tilda Book

IN THE KITCHEN / IN CUCINA

A mixture of cross stitch and machine sewing to make some cute bread bags and smaller bags for dried mushrooms.....made just in time for last Sundays market.
Un po di punto croce e cucito con la macchina da cucire per queste sacchetti per il pane e funghi secchi....fatto per il mio mercatino di Domenica scorsa......

AMOUR

Here we are again ...that special time for Romance.........
Per tutti gli innamorati........ 

This was a free design which I kept especially for St. Valentines........but I don't remember which blog I got it from. Can you see that there are some little hearts scattered amongst the leaves..
Un disegno molto carino che ho trovato gratuito da un altro blog....ma non mi ricordo quale.. 

Happy St.Valentines to all of you around the world.
Buon San Valentino a tutti voi ....

BRING on SPRING

What better way to start the new year......something bright.....a change from my usual type of cross stitch......
Per comminciare l'anno nuovo ....un ricamo molto colorato...... 

Marie Claire Idees

Eventually I will make it into a bag....see photo above...
Eventualmente con il ricamo  faro una borsa.....vedi foto qui sopra.....

HAPPY.......FELICE

I have had some problems with posting for a few weeks so I am now happy to be back. Just a couple of photos to show you.....2 Tilda dolls I made for two friends for xmas.......a cross stitch picture ......and a stencil I made for myself.
Ho avuto un po di problemi con il computer durante queste settimane ...ma adesso sono di nuovo con voi....Un paio di foto .......2 bambole Tilda per due amiche per natale.....un ricamo e uno stencil .

XMAS RED BOOTS

Yet again I have made some more of these little bootees.....only this year adding a little black which I think stands out very good with the red.
Ancora quest'anno ho cucito questi stivaletti .....penso che un po di nero sta molto bene con il rosso.

MANNEQUIN

My latest addition to the house is this lovely miniature mannequin. She arrived safely all the way from England, bought on my recent trip. It was just one of those things that you automatically fall in love with. To tell the truth I saw it over a year ago and always dreamt of having it.....so now she stands in my bedroom.
Questo è stato comprato nel mio ultimo viaggio in Inghilterra....un mannequino in miniatura......L'avevo visto gia un anno fa e sognavo di comprarlo.....adesso sta meravigliosamente in camera mia......bellissimo. 

XMAS -NATALE-NOEL

Maybe it's a little bit early to talk about Christmas but I wanted to show you how cute this little design is.It took a very short time to sew and I think she is lovely. The design comes from a lovely american blog http://patrickswoods.com .     Then click on The dandy hare-blog at the top of the page then click DEC 2011 here you will find this little design. Hope you like it.
Forse e un po presto di parlare di Natale ma volevo offrire tutti la possibilita di ricamare uno. Il disegno e un "free" trovato al Blog indicato qui sopra. Una volta trovato click The dandyhare-blog segnato sulla pagina---poi click DEC2011............E un semlice disegno che ho ricamato in poco tempo......

HOME SWEET HOME

 Home Sweet Home....must be one of the most popular phrases used in cross stitch designs....I liked this one so much that I made a few....Simple and quick to make.
Casa Dolce Casa.....dev'essere la frase piu ricamato fra noi ricamatrice.....Mi piaceva tanto questo disegno .Semplice e veramente veloce da ricamare.

CRAFT FAIR

A shoppers paradise....yesterday I went to see the annual craft fair "Manualmente" here in Turin and I just couldn't resist to buy a few things. As usual there were many lovely things to buy....too many. I  had gone there with a shopping list of things I needed but I was a bit distracted with so many new ideas that I didn't manage to buy all that was on my list.
Ieri sono andata a fare un giro a "Manualmente" qui a Torino.Come sempre c'era tantissimi cose belle....troppe .Avevo scritto una lista di cose che avevo bisogno...ma alla fine ero distratto dalle novita che non ho potuto comprare quello che avevo bisogno. 

This is what first caught my eye. An image already printed on material ready to peel off and stick on.I had heard of this idea before on blogland....... usually I print images on to transfer paper then iron that on to material but this seems easier. I also bought 2 sheets of material A4 ready to have a go myself  using the printer.
Per prima ho visto questo bel imagine gia stampato sulla stoffa bianca pronto da applicare ...Sembra una novita anche se ho gia sentito parlare fra i nostri Blog......L'imagine e stampata su un foglio di stoffa.non e neccessario stirare  l'imagine  ......toglie la pellicola dietro e via......

 I bought this lovely tea towel already cross stitched ...a bargain at the price.....
Ho comprato questo stroffinacio gia ricamato in stile francese comè piace a me

 As usual I found some pieces of material that I needed.
Ho comprato ancora delle stoffe.....

 So glad I found these little charms ...exactly what I needed....
Piccoli charms per un progetto che avevo gia in mente......

I treated myself to this stencil ....will be ideal for using on cushions.....boxes....or maybe even to use on walls.
Uno stencil che sara molto utile per scrivere su tessuti ...scatole...muri. 

I f only I could go back again Today wouldn't that be great......oh well...I shall look forward to the next one.
Se potevo tornare di nuovo oggi sara magnifico....aspettero la prossima.

YOU'RE ADORABLE

I have always wanted to make this little bag ever since I saw it in a book by Sylvie Castellano " LINGE ANCIEN" .....I love that little postcard...its just so cute...who couldn't resist..... Now let me see what I can put inside.
