Stitches!Wow... I took a long break but sometimes I need to have something like that. After Christmas and New Year I was completely tired. I had no energy in my veins :-( . I just wanted to think about my plans, life for the new year. And it takes time to organize your own life specially mine. Meanwhile I was thinking about everything I could not stop sewing and creating more stuff ( I'm addicted ) but I didn't finish all the project that I started during this break because I couldn't. I put all of them in my unfinished project's pile. Here are some examples!
The pink Owl!
Circle Tree!And little by little a started again working and feeling much better! I got the energy what I needed it. So some of my projects were done ( like my new iPhone cases ), not all of them, but I hope to finish them soon.

Circle Tree iPhone case!I also started again crocheting and knitting. I made a strawberry pincushion. Isn't it cute? My daughter is in love with it!
Strawberry Pincushion!
It is supposed to be a a Coffee Cozy!
In January 1st I got my first Alchemy Request ever! I had no idea what I was supposed to do. After reading what my customer wanted from me I agreed to make her request. She wanted to have a bigger iPhone case with a black Robot. I had 15 days to finish it! So I took my time and the iPhone case was done the other night. The funny part of this was that we both had no idea how to pay for the request. It took me a while to understand that the customer has to pay me trough my personal Paypal account not through Etsy. Something new that I learned! Here are some pictures of the process!

Yesterday night I started sewing another unfinished project. It's going to be another iPhone case. Maybe it will be done tonight. I let you know!
The Blue Bird II!
The Blue Bird II!So that was my life for a few days. Always busy making what I love! For this new year I have a lot of new ideas and projects to share. One of these projects is to open another new store to show you my Mixed Media art that I stopped making for a while. We will see it!
I don't want to close this post without a little note about the terrible tragedy that our brothers and sisters in Haiti are living through.
There are some points in life when every other thing is secondary. This is one of those moments, when millions of people are terrified and with a very grim future ahead.
We are all connected, friends, colleagues, strangers...
In two days more than 4.5 million dollars have been texted to aid in this disaster. We can help right from where we are.
Call 90999 on your cell phone and text "HAITI." You will be charged $10.00 on your phone bill, the money of which will go to the Red Cross.
If you want to send goods instead, this is one suggestion, since it goes directly to the closest point of contact (their neighbors in Santo Domingo), "official aid" always takes too much time at a time when hours make a difference:
The Centers of the Company of Jesus in Dominican Rep. (Santo Domingo: Bono and Alberto Hurtado Center; Santiago: Center Bellarmino and CEFASA; Dajabón: Border solidarity) has established an aid network to help the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. They are accepting the following :
FOODS:
- Can Kidney beans
- Can sausages - Can Sardines - Can Tuna - Saltine crackers
- non-perishable Milk - Fruit juices in non-perishable containers - Nonperishable Foods.
MEDICINES
- Oral rehydration serum - Gauzes - Cotton - Analgesic (acetaminophen, ibuprophen) - - Elastic Bandages - Antitetanic Toxoide - Human antitetanic Ganmaglobulina - Antibiotic (amoxicifilina, in suspension and/or tablets) - Antiseptic (type yodopovidona, or type soap of clorhexidina) - sanitary Towels

I just adore seeing your work!! You inspired me to take up embroidery again...and to learn to experiment with applique. I LOVE Mr. Robot. I've done a couple of Alchemy requests and they were a lot of fun.
It is so sad to see the horror going on in Haiti. It's also nice to see so many reaching out to help in whatever way they can :)
