What I made recently.

I have no explanation for this, but I can sit still, I have to be doing something even when watching tv.  Sewing, making jewelry or working on a scarf I have come to the realization that I enjoying doing these while I catch up on my spanish soaps or documentary. Here are some recent handmade goodies.
I have been looking on Pinterest for a way to sew totes or zippered pouches and these were pretty easy to make if you follow the directions.

My week in instagram!

 I am having a craft show at my house by request of friends.

I decided to make a clutch since today was a rainy day.

I got a lot of fabric on sale, I can't wait to sew some more cool stuff.

Yes it is kaput, it fell in Kohl's , my new one was already ordered I got it as a early Christmas present.

I have a secret love with Oversized Sweaters

images found on Pinterest.

Right now you will not find me wearing these, the weather in Atlanta is 68 degrees in the morning. Don't get me wrong I love the warm weather but since my Christmas tree is out an everything is decorated here for Winter not Summer the weather should be at a least a bit chilly. I want to wear my handmade scarves. I think this a versatile piece that keeps you warm but is still fashionable. There so many ways to pair the oversized  (bigger than the usual size) sweater, mine is with leggings and booties.

Now let's hope the weather changes up a bit so I start wearing sweaters. (just to make it clear I am not wishing for winterstorms of any kind just a little chill)

Fine Dining Experience.

Every 3 months or so 4 couples get together to experience fine cuisine. The host will put the menu together and then email them and the other 3 couples get to pick 2 choices. We will then send the recipes.
The host takes care of the appetizer, wines, main course and of course coffee, tea  and the bonbons. At time of the event, the host is not stuck in the kitchen, everyone makes their course and finishes it at our home.

This time was our turn and our theme was France meets NYC, here are some of the pics.
We went with a couple of recipes of chef Daniel. My favorite was the desert it was Amazing.

Meet my new baby.

The reason I had to take a little time off of blogging was that I was busy making a collection of scarves for my Etsy shop. Since I have been making scarves I had many people tell me I should sell them so 3 weeks ago I had a show at friends house and the scarves were a hit. So starting today you can purchase your scarf or cowl in my Etsy shop under the same name, Farrielledesign.
I called my scarf collection Felici which is part of my middle name but also means Happy in Italian.
So what are you waiting for check my cool scarves Felici by Farrielle here ..... and now to continue listing the scarves.
