Fashion: hottest trends in France for Summer 2012

Fashionistas,

Let´s take a look inside the French Glamour of June 2012 with Liv Tyler in the cover.
There we can find the yellow trend color (my favorite trend for this summer), plissed/pleated clothes, culotte, and Rihanna as gangsta Diva.

Enjoy,

Crochet: Colorful coasters for colorful cups

Hi,
Are you celebrating the summertime? I hope so.
I´m spoiling my kitchen and my table with colorful cups and colorful coasters designed and made by me, off course! That´s my (one of many others) way to celebrate the summer:-)

See you,

Flor

Cross Stitch: Peace

Hello and thank you for being there.

I missed my blog:-)
One of my dream travel is Tokyo. Inspired by this city I´ve stitched this ideogram for a requested greeting card. According to site http://www.orientaloutpost.com/shufa.php?q=calm this single character that means balance, balanced, calm, peace, peaceful, calm, equal, even, level, smooth or flat in Chinese, Japanese and old Korean: you decide. Yes, you decide:-)  And remember: in Japanese means only flat or level. This one is not the best choice for a greeting card if you major audience is Japanese.

Only good reasons to love my job: always learning, knowing, searching, designing, redesigning.

Hugs,

Flor

Food: How to make sushi rolls?

"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."

Good Monday

I don´t have the answer (not yet) but I will make the perfect sushi roll one day with the help of this site http://makemysushi.com/ . I swear my attempt of sushi rolls was much tastier than it looks:-)

With all my apologizes to all Japanese people and chefs, I tried to do California Roll Sushi (http://makemysushi.com/index.php/Recipes/california-roll-sushi.html )  and the Classic Sushi Roll with conserved tuna fish (lol) (http://makemysushi.com/index.php/How-to-make-sushi/classic-roll.html ).
Please, if you have tips to improve my skills in this field, let me know. And smile...life is too short!

Enjoy and happy week,

Cross Stitch: Most popular quotations

 Dear Readers,


For this weekend I suggest one of my brand new patterns/charts for one of the most popular quotation used to put away the haters around you or with you...or coming soon (yes, they are everywhere, anywhere, LOL): "Don´t hate the player, hate the game." It´s also nice to remember us that rules sometimes seem not to be fair and that´s why I wrote Players, in the plural. But you can make it in the singular.
We can not "To kill a mockingbird" just because he flies better than haters, can we?  Forget about my interpretation and find out other good ones here: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Don't+Hate+The+Playa%2FPlayette+Hate+The+Game  Smile!
Pick up your favorite color, find a nice frame and a good place to show off your new project. I hope you like it and stitch it.

Happy weekend,

Flor
