The blanket: final episode. More or less a year ago I told you the story. Of the longest and most troubled project I've ever done. That blanket taught me the real meaning of word desperation. Well, a few months ago I FINISHED. My therapist and I are really happy. The whole project could be defined as an endless series of miscalculations. In fact, it doesn't fit my bed as I expected but I suppose it would be perfect for a single bed. Yes, the numbers reveal its holiness:. The techniques: crochet, weaving.

This December in Barcelona felt almost like springtime. Although the weather was very inviting I didn't have the time to go for a walk until last Saturday, because I was busy, ver busy, with my graduation project. Now that the project is over (is it? An error could be fatal. I know, I know, I've ruined the idyllic set. I hope the following pictures can restore a bit of romance ;-). December 23, 2011 at 2:38 PM.

Sneak peek on new weaving project. My graduation project is due in 3 months. It's about weaving with small looms and I'm having a lot of fun with it. So, 3 months. Only 3 months! Dear Lord of the Warp and the Weft, why is time flying so fast? Last week I went on a day trip to Valencia. To attend the awards ceremony of Ateval's Textile Design Competition. I was given a diploma for this design. This was is Siena. See the second picture? I would call that creature the 'Euromonster'. More travel pics coming!

I've been away for the last couple of weeks to visit my family in my hometown. I came back with a suitcase full of goodies:. A printed headscarf which is worn with the Galician traditional costume. I used to wear it when I was a little girl, for school festivals and so. Looks kind of Russian, doesn't it? Omg, I hope I wasn't wearing the wrong costume.). A clarinet mouthpiece. Yes, I do have the rest of the clarinet at home. No, I can't play it (yet). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Vintage, cheap, and sometimes free. So, in the picture above:. A yarn winder (with one of my first handspun yarns on it! From Els Encants flea market. A childrens book in German, about a rabbit family in Easter, found in the street in Freiburg. It makes me feel like a 2-year-old: can't read it, just marvel at the illustrations. An embroidery frame, from Els Encants, with a 70's (? Happy cloth from the charity L'Encant de Gracia. A (machine) woven tablecloth (also from L'Encant de Gracia. The oldest one i...
