The little knitting basket for Romina's set!

It's really tiny and full of yarn!!

I loved this past weekend!


This past weekend was great. It was so different to other weekends, because my husband started a new part time job, so he is not at home anymore on the weekends, which is really strange to me, I miss him
When I woke up last Saturday I felt that I needed to create, and that's what I did. I finished Lizzie's Black Sheep ( She is a client that have ordered a black sheep). It took me a lot of time, because I like to make sure that everything looks perfect. When I finished this amigurumi I looked at it and I thought, it is going to be a girl and her name is going to be Romina.
I think she looks really cute, I showed it to Lizzie and she loved her!!
On your left you can see a picture of her, what do you think, isn't she cute?

One if my flickr contacts wrote a note that says: "tiny needles are becoming a trade mark for you lol". The funny part is that my name in my flickr account is tinyneedles, and I'm always making tiny needles for my toys. I thought about to stop making them, but I can't. If I don't make a knitting basket full of yarn it feels like my toy's set is missing something.

Sharing my Father's Art Work.


Hello there, I just wanted to show you something more before I go.

This is a Signed Color Pencil Drawing. This drawing was made using only color pencils and pens.


The artist is my father, he is living in Buenos Aires, Argentina and I'm promoting his work, because I think he is really talented. He is an insulin dependant, and in Argentina they won't give him a job, lots of discrimination issues, so I'm helping him out. I feel good doing this because he has a purpose every morning now, he wants to paint, and it keeps him motivated, which it's great.
You are going to see more of his drawings and probably some paintings on my blog and store soon. So we will see what happens.
If you are interested in this drawing it's for sale at my shop, if you have any questions please email me, I will be more than happy to help you.

My father made this drawing inspired by a children book story, that he used to read to me when I was a child. This little creature on the drawing lives in the garden, and sometimes comes to visit the kitchen to explore new worlds. He is super tiny and when he comes to the kitchen he will ask for a spoon as a bed, that's his favorite.
