origami mobile tsuru...

My cousin had asked me to make her a mobile for her new home.

As usual I "google" to find ideas (I m really good at copying but not creating!!!) and I found this one, I decided to give it a try as I had all the things I thought it was needed at home... what I used was origami paper, nylon thread (to hook the cranes), silk thread (the orange one), beads ( i used 3 different types - 2 orange and 1 silver), hashi (chopstick) and glue. I really had all things at home! :) I was going to use more cranes, but I was out of orange beads :(

Well... hope she likes it... I did!!!

my niece 1 st bday

My niece is one now... we had a huge party for her (you can check in my other blog - http://minhasobrinhamel.blogspot.com - though it is written in portuguese), I made a gift for the guests.

I made tulip fabric flowers, I found tutorial on the net... I know the leaf is not tulip leaf, but it was the one that would look better, I could write her name and date, and decided to use a pencil as a steam to make the gift more "useful".

and for some special family members I made this pendant... I love this photo and have it as my computer screen!

Long time...

Wow.. It's been a while since I last posted here! To tell you the truth I ve been quite bored, but didnt do much :(

I moved to US, to a small city called Billerica, and life is quite ordinary around here.

I did some small things but didnt have a camera to take photos, finally today I got some pictures of some stuffs I made.

This are magnets I made using chiogami, I bought some glass tiles( by the way, it was my first time using www.etsy.com and really like it!), glue, magnets and Voila... very easy to make those!

Other thing I made was origami earrings , I found here a store(Michaels) that I go almost every week... it was introduced to me by D. Ana, she told me that I would love that store, and she was absolutely right!!! There you can find almost everything you need for your crafts, and I found there some cristals and tools to make jewelry.

here is a butterfly origami magnet and tsuru earring.

Kiri-e

I started a new hobbie, it is called kirie, I got the design from the internet and only cut it!

I guess it takes a bit of time to cut it but it worth!

Im glad that March is over !! Even though is the month to celebrate my dad, my brother and cousin's bday, I lost my dearest uncle to cancer, terible disease!!! 

I didnt have much free time, and whenever I could, I want visit either my uncle or my niece!!

But I didnt want to be sad so I made 3 new works...

FRIENDSHIP

Melissa

My niece Melissa was born this month on the 10th!! She is the cutest thing!!! I made this for her... she cant enjoy it yet, but who knows some day... I'm so in love with her, and now whenever I have free time I ll go to spend time with her, so probably wont be bored so often.

Thank you cards

As some of my sister's friends couldnt come to the baby shower but sent presents anyways, I made some thank you cards.

This photo is not so good so I dont know if you can see the "thank you".  But I thought it was quite cute and better than buying cards...
