My last four weeks as a freelance machinist

Here I am again! Well, it has been a while since I last posted. During the last four weeks I have started two jobs in the same time: one as Library Advisor at the University for the Creative Arts and the other as a freelance machinist. 

Please believe me when I say that I have worked seven days a week. Am I insane? No, it is because I am a Gemini and Gemini is always doing two things at once...aaaaaah! 

It has been a pleasure working for Nicole Philips England because I really love their printed materials. 

Here you are some snaps when I was working in my lab. Fabrics, bias, waddings,  scraps and a tons of threads.......everywhere.

Nicole, the founder and painter, is now in London to launch her brand during the Country Living Fair. Let's say that a piece of Fedulab is also there. A big good luck Nicole!

Pack original with Jek in the box

Mancano solo 19 giorni a natale e a breve dovremmo acquistare i fatidici regali natalizi.

Oltre ad avere il tipico problema del "cosa" regalare da un paio di anni sono assillata dal "come" presentare. Mi spiego: vorrei trovare una soluzione carina per impacchettare i regali in modo creativo e insolito.

Stamattina è arrivata l'illuminazione attraverso le bellissime idee di Jessica Wilson (aka Jek in the box).

Perché non usare ritagli di tessuti per le gift tag? Oppure impacchettare in modo originale usando tulle, fili e bottoni? Io li trovo deliziosi e di sicuro mi applicherò.

Jessica nel suo blog Scrum Dilly Dilly scrumdillydilly.blogspot.com ha tantissime idee da darvi.

Ta dah! Another 19 sleeps till Christmas day and we should buy all the Xmas' gifts.

Left aside this time the problem about "what" buy , I'm resolving the problem about "how to" exhibit them. Let me explain: I would like to find a nice solution for a creative and unusual packaging.

This morning I've found a greatest inspiration from the beautiful Jessica Wilson's ideas (aka Jek in the box).

Why don't use scraps of fabric to make a gift tag? Try to wrap the gifts with tulle, thread and buttons. I think they're so delicious!
