Handmade felt bookmark - part 2
Hello hello!
I am back from Italy and I have a new job, a bit boring but still better than waking up at 5 am... This is why I didn't have time to post anything this week. I guess I still have to get use to my new timetable :)
This is a picture of one of the amazing places where we have been, so beautiful....
Anyway, few weeks before going to Italy, I went to the unique Makers Market in Brixton. Instead of the usual Saturday Market, there are several stalls of makers, creative people who make and sell everything, from purses and hair accessories to pillow and brooches, all handmade. Some of these creations were beautiful and the people were just amazing, so keen on speaking to you and have a chat, I even had a cup of tea in a stall where you could tell you opinion on how to improve Brixton.
I can't wait to go again!
Unfortunately my sewing machine is still broken :( so I am still doing felt bookmarks and brooches, very beautiful, but I miss making my little purses!
Have good week end :)
P.s.: I am going to Prague in July...I know it's early, but I am already very excited!! I can't wait!
P.p.s.: I'm on Facebook and you can visit my page and read my posts from there too! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pandoras-box-indie-handmade/127999624032238

Hello Spring?
Hello everyone!
It's Friday and I am over the moon for many reasons: first of all, today was my last day at the cafe, I am finally going to start a proper job in April!
Second of all :) I am going to Italy on Sunday! It's going to be great, I can't wait to leave this grey, cold and horrible weather! It snowed for 10 minutes this morning and now the sky is hopelessly grey, windy and freezing.
Yes, spring started, even tough it really doesn't look like it did....but I am full of hope, hope that when I will be back from Italy, the sky will be blue over London, I really can't take this anymore.
Here's what I would say if it was sunny as it is supposed to be, plus some random images that I like and that are saved on my desktop.
I hope you are having a great weekend, wherever you are :)

It's cupcake time! Beautiful handmade felt bookmark and brooch
Happy Friday everyone!
I hope your weekend has started in the best possible way, I know mine has :)
Next week it's going to be the last at the cafè where I have been working for almost two months. Although it wasn't my dream job, I feel a bit sad because I know I will miss my amazing colleague Isabel and I was also getting fond of some customers. It's amazing how some people can change your mood with just a smile or few sweet words.
I am travelling, (yes, again), going back home for 11 days and after that I will start working as a Project Manager, finally!
In Italy I will travel around, since I am not going alone :) We are going to visit the beautiful Cinque Terre. These are 5 small villages on the coast of Liguria (not far from Genoa) and they have been declared UNESCO world heritage site and this is why:
This is a unique place, you won't find anything like this anywhere else...
We are also going to Verona and Venice, to meet some friends....oh, I can't wait to see a proper sun!!
Anyway, my last creations are made out of felt, very nice and sweet. It is a cupcake brooch and a cupcake bookmark! All I had to do, was to decide the shape of the muffin, draw it on paper, cut the paper, pin it on the felt and cut. And then, sew sew sew!
I really like them and I am going to make some more. As always they're on sale, just send me a private msg, for more information you can also decide the colour and shape!
Have a looke at them and tell me what do you think!
Have a nice weekend,
Gibi

Italy
My holiday is almost finished already.
I wish I could stay longer but on the other hand I can't wait to be back in London.
I went to a shop where I bought many beautiful fabrics and tools to make sewing easier....I am so happy I am going to make a lot of new purses, bags and poches....I can't wait!!
My holiday in Italy has been beautiful, as always. I had the chance to spend time with my family and my friends...and I am going to miss them all.
These are some pictures of the amazing place where I grew up, you can find them on Panoramio and Flickr, username: gloria_gibi
And this is a place not far from where I live, called Torbiere, it's very beautiful
I hope you all had a great Christmas! Mine was just perfect :)
