Market

Here are some pics of my market stand. The market is situated in a wonderful little Plaza in the Born district of Barcelona. I always love my market day as it's a chance to sell my designs and new products directly to the customer and get feedback. I also love the quiet moments when I can catch up on some cutwork and a little reading and diary writing! It is wonderful being my own boss and I love my studio but it can get a little lonely! At the moment the market is only on every Saturday but plans are afoot to start running the market on Sunday as well...

Spot The Difference...

Well can you spot the difference?! This is stage two of the design process. It involves cutting out the same shapes from a piece of paper called Bondaweb/Bondina and ironing them to the fabric. This creates a smooth finish and a strong bond ...it also takes a really really long time to do! Each design had a lot of small pieces so it was really time consuming and really quite tedious...now all i need to do is stitch the design to the garment!

Oh Baby!

Oh my baby is growing up so fast! Almost two and a half already...I just couldn't resist sharing with you some of his latest photos...such a cutie don't you think?

Wild & Beautiful

After spending two weeks concentrating on my internet businesses (I still have more than 20 items to list in my vintage shop 'Violeta Vintage' and over 50 items to list in my kids shop, 'Wild & Beautiful) I am letting myself have some fun over the next few days designing, developing and producing new products for my Wild & Beautiful Label. First up, I wanted to develop the roll up crayon holder set than I designed for Christmas- lots of people suggested a utility belt that held crayons for kids would be great...

Elqui

Trying to get my 2 year old son to model for me was just hilarious! He's very expressive and his smile is pretty fierce...

Busy Busy Gone!

I have been so very busy this week and it's still not over yet...a quilt to finish for market tomorrow and a few other bits and bobs before I can get ready to go out! Here is a sneaky glimpse at the bibs that will soon be available at my Etsy shop; Wild and Beautiful. www.wildandbeautiful.etsy.com

Market and Random Wanderings...

Yesterday was market day which was why I didn't get a chance to blog. I always used to take photos everyday of everything...especially architecture, street art and random momentary compositions of inanimate objects! But its been so long and I'm rusty from not looking around me, I mean really looking...here are a couple of photos I took yesterday and also a few from my market stall. Tomorrow it's off to Encants, fingers crossed I make some great vintage discoveries...
