New Year ~ New Look

First of all......

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you!!!!

Who knows, maybe during this year 2014 there will be more action in this little blog of mine. I always think about things I should write but it's very hard to find the time. Well, I'm here today and I want to share with you my new studio!!! 

Yesssss... LaBelleMadeleine needed a new cute space to be able to create. It's very hard to find a place to work in peace in a small apartment with 4 little kids running around all day long {especially during school-breaks!}. :) I have to say that I found my perfect spot... in a corner of my bedroom, near the window to get some light, surrounded by all the things I need to work with. 

Here's a few pics...

What do you think?? I know it's very small... but there's all I need!! And it's a "happy place" for me, because I love doing what I do... which is mainly sewing and crocheting. And thanks to my new-awesome sewing-machine I will be able to embroider as well!!!! Get ready for some new extra items in my shop! :)

xoxo to you,

Ruffles.

Days are passing like a lightning, between school, daily chores, meetings... I haven't yet found much time to work on my SHOP as much as I would like to. It has been closed for the whole summer, as I was away from home and I had no internet connection {a little difficult to be able to communicate with the rest of the world nowadays...}. I'm trying to add new items.. I'm in love with ruffles right now! It's actually the very first thing I learned how to sew with my sewing machine. When I first bought it I had no clue how to use it, I invited over a good friend mine {who is an incredible seamstress} and while showing me all the different buttons to click and turn, she decided to teach me how to make ruffles. It remained stuck in my head since then! I think of her now while making this new kind of pouch: the Ruffled Pouch! :)

What do you think? It's colorful and also very soft, as I layered the fabric with fleece. I like how puffy it feels at the touch! My plan is to make more, with different color fabrics... soon soon!

Well, I hope you are enjoying your week as much as I am. Until next time...

Happy Mail ~ Cute Shop Feature

It doesn't happen very often to receive what people call Happy Mail... in my case it was a lovely package from an adorable Etsy shop: Annabell & Louise Designs. I recently won a gift card giveaway from their shop and I ordered a whole bunch of super cute items!!! I want to share some with you.. I love them all!

 ...I like sewing very much, and my sewing machine... I HAD to have this necklace!! It reminds me of my grandma's old sewing machine....

 

 These earrings are big and bright!!! Perfect for summer! They are made of wood and they are soooo light! I love wearing them...

I'm also in love with this ring... isn't it precious?
I took these pictures and shared them on my instagram page (Do you have an instagram account? Follow me HERE!!).

You can find more of Annabell and Louise's lovely items in their SHOP. They have different type of necklaces, rings, hair-clips... go check it out!!!

Hugs,
