β¦ The daily life of a creative person... even if I'm not 100% dedicated to it xD - Collage & Edition in FotoJet, photos by @Tesmoforia β¦
πͺπΈ ~ He pasado unos dΓas bastante ocupados, variopintos, todos extremadamente positivos y productivos cosa que me tiene muy contenta π entre lo importante y lo silly, hoy domingo mientras despejo los restos del huracΓ‘n que pasΓ³ por el escritorio (el huracΓ‘n = yo, queriendo hacer 7 proyectos al mismo tiempo) te cuento lo "silly" pero que sΓ© disfrutaras mucho porque son mini historias de algo reparado, algo guardado, algo que viajarΓ‘, algo terminado, y algo por venir ~
πΊπΈ ~ I've had a few pretty busy days, varied, all extremely positive and productive, which makes me very happy π Between the important and the silly, today, Sunday, as I clear away the remains of the hurricane that passed through my desk (the hurricane = me, wanting to do seven projects at the same time), I'll tell you about the βsillyβ stuff, but I know you'll enjoy it a lot because they are mini stories about something repaired, something stored away, something that will travel, something finished, and something to come ~
ReparaciΓ³n de libro - Una vecina muy querida me regalΓ³ un ejemplar de "Mil ideas para la mujer de hoy" del grupo editorial "OcΓ©ano" (ediciΓ³n de 1998), y el dΓa que por fin encontrΓ© tiempo libre para sentarme a leerlo EL LIBRO SE ME CAYΓ, pero menos mal lejos de mis pies porque este libro pesa mas que conciencia de polΓtico chimbo y me hubiera conseguido un ticket directo a emergencias π π π
Book repair - A dear neighbor gave me a copy of "A Thousand Ideas for Today's Woman" by the OcΓ©ano publishing group (1998 edition), and the day I finally found the time to sit down and read it, THE BOOK FELL ON THE FLOOR, but luckily it landed far from my feet because this book weighs more than a politician's conscience and would have earned me a direct ticket to the emergency room π π π
Y cΓ³mo estarΓ‘s imaginando el libro no saliΓ³ intacto... el impacto destruyΓ³ el lomo separando las hojas (casi 800) de la cubierta tapa dura: Β‘La reparaciΓ³n aΓΊn asΓ no fue tan complicada como creΓ!, el esposo de la vecina linda que me hizo este obsequio me explicΓ³ que con gasa, pegamento + 2 dΓas de reposo con unos ganchos de presiΓ³n podrΓa arreglarlo (en las fotos podrΓ‘s ver el excedente de gasas que me falta por retirar).
And as you can imagine, the book didn't come out unscathed... the impact destroyed the spine, separating the pages (almost 800) from the hardcover: The repair wasn't as complicated as I thought it would be! The husband of the lovely neighbor who gave me this gift explained that with gauze, glue, and two days of rest with some clothespins, I could fix it (in the photos, you can see the excess gauze that I still need to remove).
Carpeta Vintage - ΒΏTu sabes cuando tienes algo que no quieres usar porque lo consideras muy especial?, eso me pasaba con esta carpeta de "Hey Arnold!" + estos espectaculares separadores de "La vida moderna de Rocko" y "Los castores cascarrabias" todos mercha original de Nickelodeon.
Vintage Folder - You know when you have something you don't want to use because you consider it too special? That's how I felt about this βHey Arnold!β folder + these spectacular dividers from βRocko's Modern Lifeβ and βThe Angry Beaversβ, all original Nickelodeon merchandise.
Se que los publiquΓ© en Mercado Libre Venezuela por considerarlas Γtems de colecciΓ³n mΓ‘s que de papelerΓa, y me alegro mucho hoy de no haberlos vendido, reflexionΓ© que si me gustaban tanto debΓa usarlos, que si pase todos estos aΓ±os guardΓ‘ndolos con tanto cuidado era por algo (por fan fiebruda de la era dorada de Nickelodeon).
I know I posted them on Mercado Libre Venezuela because I considered them collector's items rather than stationery, and today I'm really glad I didn't sell them. I thought that if I liked them so much, I should use them, that if I had spent all these years keeping them so carefully, it was for a reason (
as a die-hard fan of the golden age of Nickelodeon).
TambiΓ©n una de las razones por las que nunca utilice esta carpeta es por no encontraba papel para anillados con sus medidas, pero ni corta ni perezosa ubiquΓ© una perforadora de papel grande y procedΓ a adaptar todo el papel que quice :3c (especialmente el que guardo de reciclaje) π π
Another reason why I never used this folder is because I couldn't find paper that fit its dimensions, but without further ado, I found a large paper punch and proceeded to adapt all the paper I wanted :3c (especially the paper I save for recycling) π π
Nuevos Rascadores - ComenzΓ³ como una prueba para saber si lo que compartΓan otros creadores crafteriles en Pinterest era verdad, y terminΓ³ como una inesperada oportunidad de negocio: Los rascadores que puedes ver en este post son un Γ©xito.
New Scratching Posts - It started as an experiment to see if what other crafters were sharing on Pinterest was true, and ended up as an unexpected business opportunity: The scratching posts you can see in this post are a hit.
RegalΓ© el redondo a una amiga que tiene 3 gatitos en casa de diferentes edades, y me cuenta frustrada que los gatos ignoran el poste rascador de +20$ que les comprΓ³, por usar el rascador redondo que le obsequiΓ©.
I gave the round scratching post to a friend who has three kittens of different ages at home, and she tells me, frustrated, that the cats ignore the $20+ scratching post she bought them, preferring to use the round scratching post I gave her.
Ella le comentΓ³ eso a sus amigas y a la fecha de hoy he recibido varios pedidos π π esta semana deberΓa enviar 2 a Valencia, mi amiga GecaCos preciosa tambiΓ©n comisionΓ³ π± β con estos rascadores sigo recaudando fondos para esterilizar gatitos en mi comunidad, la prΓ³xima jornada la tenemos el 4 de Octubre.
She mentioned this to her friends, and as of today, I have received several orders. π This week I should be sending two to Valencia, and my lovely friend GecaCos also placed an order π± β With these scratching posts, I continue to raise funds to spay and neuter kittens in my community. Our next event is on October 4.
Γltimos toques del vestido anaranjado - Recordemos este post para mejor contexto: Al final de este proyecto me quedΓ© sin hilo color anaranjado, y hasta hace poco fue que pude conseguir el color exacto de anaranjado precioso para poder darle los toques finales.
Final touches on the orange dress - Let's recall this post for better context: At the end of this project, I ran out of orange thread, and it wasn't until recently that I was able to find the exact shade of orange I needed to add the finishing touches.
ΒΏCuΓ‘les toques finales?, el ruedo de abajo, querΓa hacerlo doble, y las costuras del marco de cada corazΓ³n, tambiΓ©n queria que fuera doble costura. Al final recorte el exceso de tela y puedes ver el resultado en las fotos.
What finishing touches? I wanted to make the bottom border double, and I also wanted double stitching on the frame of each heart. In the end, I trimmed off the excess fabric, and you can see the result in the photos.
β¦ Today I want to stay up a little late with this modification, which I haven't tried before β¦
Y para NeedleWorkMonday, un experimento - Esto podras verlo el dΓa de maΓ±ana en el transcurso de la tarde-noche Ω©(qβ’ΜβΏβ’Μq)ΫΆ transformare un pantalΓ³n (espero) en una falda larga.
And for NeedleWorkMonday, an experiment - You'll be able to see it tomorrow afternoon/evening Ω©(qβ’ΜβΏβ’Μq)ΫΆ I'll transform a pair of pants (I hope) into a long skirt.
Las faldas largas usualmente me quedan fatal pero hay elementos en esta prenda que presiento me ayudaran a conseguir la silueta que estoy buscando; estoy muy motivada tambien por el color de la tela, que planeo reforzar con algo de tintura extra (ΰΉΛα΄Λ)ο» Β‘desΓ©ame suerte, y nos leemos maΓ±ana! π π β¨
Long skirts usually look terrible on me, but there are elements in this garment that I feel will help me achieve the silhouette I'm looking for. I'm also very excited about the color of the fabric, which I plan to enhance with some extra dye (ΰΉΛα΄Λ)Ω Wish me luck, and see you tomorrow! π π β¨
