NASHVILLE RELEASE N°ONE HOUSE OF STITCHING

 I'm almost ready to leave to US in a few days so I 'm starting to show you my news for Nashville market. I'm not sure to be able to update my blog when I'll be away so I decided to start to share my new designs. That's the first of my 5 news plus a Limited Edition kit!!!
I called it HOUSE OF STITCHING. I enjoyed so much in designing it, I just love those little girls meeting in their home to stitch !! Nice picture on the wall and a curious cat under the desk, so sweet.
Stitched on my 32nikyscreations hand-dyed linen also available in my booth as well as the chart. This lovely pattern 'll be in Nashville booth n°316 ready to get for you by your favourite shops!! enjoy House of Stitching.

Carissime, pochi giorni ancora e partirò per gli States. Non sono certa di poter aggiornare il mio blog quando sarà via percui ho pensato di cominciare a mostravi alcune news dei miei disegni che saranno protagonisti a Nashville nella mia booth.
Inizio con il presentarvi HOUSE OF STITCHING. Due deliziose bimbe si trovano nella loro casa a ricamare in compagnia di un curiosissimo gatto che si nasconde sotto il tavolo da lavoro. Mi è piaciuto molto fin da subito questo disegno  e spero che piaccia anche a voi. Dopo Nashville market il 13 -14 - 15 febbraio questo schema sarà disponibile nei negozi per voi...alla prossiam puntata con la seconda news!                                                        xxx Niky.

FAIRY TALES CHARITY FOLDER

Amiche mie, oggi vi desidero presentare una bellissima iniziativa che Tania ed io abbiamo deciso di 'replicare' . Molte di voi ricorderanno il Folder benefico realizzato lo scorso anno il ricavato della cui vendita è stato devoluto al Centro Infantile la Lucciola , scuola fortemente danneggiata dal terremoto. C'è ancora  molto da fare alla 'Lucciola' e noi abbiamo pensato di realizzare un nuovo folder benefico  e, con le sue vendite,  potremo aiutare di più . Mettetevi comode mie care  e leggete attentamente qui sotto.....

Carissime ecco tutte le informazioni necessarie per ricevere il Folder dedicato alle "Fiabe da
ricamare"
Il progetto è stato realizzato per sostenere il centro educativo infantile La Lucciola ed è proposto
esclusivamente per Fili Senza Tempo Salone del punto croce, ricamo e cucito che si terrà al
Castellodi Formigine (Mo) Italy il 22/23 marzo prossimo.
Il ricavato di questo folder andrà interamente devoluto alla Lucciola.
In questa foto avete , in piccole frammentarie immagini, tutti i disegni che fanno parte della raccolta.
Un grazie speciale a tutte le Creatrici di punto croce che hanno aderito a questo progetto, regalando
con il cuore uno schema dedicato alle favole per bambini!
Ricordo che al Salone troverete il folder in materiale cartaceo, per chi non verrà al salone è
possibile ordinare la raccolta delle fiabe da ricamare inviando una mail di richiesta qui

PRIMITIVE BOXES!!!

 Hello my dears, I've to tell you that we're haven the coldest days on lago Maggiore. The light is so grey and we only try to keep us warm. So the best thing to do in this case is to stay inside and stitch or creating something nice for our soul and our hands keeping busy ..busy busy!

Everybody know I love boxes and I've some paper mache boxes left on my craft room, so I decided to give them  a primitive looking and I started to enjoy painting and covering with beautiful fabric left from older finishing!  

Folk art portrait photos are just the best for the top!

I hope you enjoy my primitive fabric boxes, I've one left to make and I'll show it soon. I think to bring them with me in Nashville,... and about that...hope to post some news  for market soon. Hugs for now my dears!!!  Warming stitching.                                                                   xxx Niky.

HEARTS!!!!!

...Valentine is round the corner and I'll be in Nashville at that time. So I wanted to share with you some pictures of my felt and wooden hearts!!

Just some scraps of wool fabric and nice old french ribbon and here they're!!! That big one is also needful as I created a pocket to keep some stitching tools or dry herbs and greenery!!!
..and my bags are almost done , my news for Nashville Market ready and I can hardly wait to show some pictures of them!! Enjoy my wooden heart for now, and please stay warm and stitch. Hugs to everybody...xxx Niky.

PAPER THREAD BAGS

 Hello my dears..here some more goodies for NASHVILLE!! Lovely old pictures inspired me on creating those beautifull paper bags to keep thread, thimbles or others ...little stitching tools!!

..They're really so sweet!! They measures approx 2,50" square and they could be also needfull to keep a tea bag!! Aren't they so sweet? Lot of work on paper but at the end a good result!! Keep going on following ..more goodies are on the way!!  Stay warm my friends and Happy Stitching everybody!

 Mie care amiche oggi vi voglio presentare una piccola idea che mi è stata ispirata da queste bellissime vecchie illustrazioni. Ne ho realizzato delle piccole buste porta filo oppure porta ditale. La loro dimensione di circa 6cm x 6 cm fa si che queste piccole buste   possano  essere facilmente utilizzate per contenere anche una bustina di te.
E' una mia nuova idea che porterò a Nashville ma che condividerò presto anche su Etsy!
Felice ricamo care amiche e mi raccomando teniamoci sempre in contatto, nuove idee all'orizzonte e nuovi disegni pronti da mostrare!!
