Some Sunday Sewing

I've always thought that Sunday is a cool day to spend at home with crafts or having a coffee with a good book. This morning it's been the first thing. I took the dust off the sewing machine and finished a project I started many weeks ago cutting the fabric. I was testing a very nice tutorial from Sew Mama Sew. I bought the fabric at Ikea, and it was quite cheap, and nice enough to use the tote later. I didn't wanted to spend a lot on money on the fabrics since it's my very first tote! I like the result quite a lot, though the closer look is not as neat as it should be. But it's been a funny beginning!

My cat's been very supportive during the sewing ;)

A place for the sweeties

I received my order from the dollhouse supplier, so my little shop is now starting to look less empty. I took the photos with the furniture outside it because I haven't decidet yet their placement. some of the items I made some weeks ago are already inside. Hope you like it!

Some shelves with and without glass, a counter and my favorite one,
a small cart, which I think adds a some style.



Inside the boxes there're some sweeties, and below some cakes.
More cakes, already cutted, on the cart.

Finally, I thouth that cookies and cinnamon rolls
suit the wicker baskets.

Countryside and Hospital

I had both of them this weekend. I always prefer the countryside rather than the hospital, but you have to be able to manage both situations as life can be a bit tricky sometimes. Watercolor helped at the hospital. It also helped that Sant Pau Hospital is one of the most beautiful hospitals in the world, I would say.

A hot chocolate helped too!

But, of course, I prefer the previous day when I has a nice BBQ at the house of my parent's friends. They own a beatiful cozy masia, a traditional Catalan farm. I could easily spend there days and days drawing all the interesting old objects they have inside!

It seems that the dust is out of my watercolor again, but I have to keep practicing!
