Hola! soy Arlette, de Costa Rica, Les contaré un poco acerca de mi, me encantan las manualidades, creo que eso fue debido a que mis dos abuelitas las hacían, y como era tan traviesa, fue una forma de mantenerme tranquila. Una de mis abuelitas Isabel, ya cumplió sus 102 años. Estudié Relaciones Públicas, soy soltera, sin hijos. Imaginense que triste sería la vida sin colores..., mis colores favoritos, son los colores tierra, aunque no tengo alguno en especial que me desagrade, a no ser por los colores chillones o fosforecentes, creo que no "soy compatible" con ellos. Muchas gracias por tomarse el tiempo y visitar mi blog, me gustaría tener muchas amigas!!!. I'm Arlette from Costa Rica, I'll tell you a bit about myself, I love to make crafts. I studied Public Relations, I'm single and don't have kids My fave colours are the brown shades, although I don't dislike any. Thank you for stoping by, please leave me a comment that way I'll know you been here and I'd like to have lots of friends!

I'm back from a long break, I'm so sorry it took too long. I was busy and life got really trouble maker..., everything's getting to normal once again. I have been a busy bee with quilting, my curse already started and I'm all excited because our first project to do is a big quilt with blocks for my bed,I'll show you the pics tomorrow, I love the way they're turning!!!. My class is Quilting II.
The purpose of today post is: I'll show you some gifties I won over the past weeks, I'm showing them and let you know how kind that people are!!!, I like to do that because seems unfair to me, all the effort they made for send the stuff and not have pics displayed.
I got this beautiful angel thanks to Sweet Jeannette, her name's "Hope", I love the way she was made, Jeannette used tea for dying the cloth and laces, I have her hanging in one of the walls of my home, she looks so cute there. I'm an angel collector, I'm delighted with her because I didn't have a handmade angel yet!!!!, isn't she cute?
I have been guilty and I played along in One World, One Heart Giveaways. I have been lucky enough to win 4 of them, I already have 2 of the goodies I won, I'm avid expecting to get the other ones (from Deedra and Wendy), also I won in the past and I'm waiting to get some magazines from Hazel and other one from Rae Ann. I love to wear jewerelly, I wear mostly silver, but I love everything with stones on it. This bracelet has rose quartz and jasper, and was made for Quiltmom, I love the colors she used, did I say I love brown shades, she included a lovely card!, I know the pics aren't posted in the right way, I'll fix it later on, blogger's giving me a hard time!


Ms Kitty was made for Carrie, isn't she so cute?, it's made on paper clay, she's in a special spot in my home, she loves to live here, although we're having high temperatures and heat waves, but she doesn't complain at all. She's so damn cute, believe me, colors don't make justice with her!!!
Well last but no least, I got this big box from Jennifer from Feathers in the Nest, she's a really talented lady who loves to cross stitch, she's really fast working on it. Take a look at her blog and you'll see her work. She's the mommy of Ren and Abbie, 2 cute chihuahuas, I'm thinking to post a pic of them, but you'll have to see them by yourselves, ahhhh, she's hosting a giveaway right now, now you must have to see her blog!!!. I won the cute frame with the cardinal and the "Welcome" chart and charms, then she told me she was going to include another surprise, to be honest I was expecting only the frame and I got tons of stuff to smell yummy!!!!, I love all of it, I love all the smells, ahhhhh...., just for the record, she sent me a chocolate box, and they're already gone, scrumptions!

I haven't blogged in a while, my apologies, I have been around, but no posts from me to you to share, thank you so much for your lovely comments about my grandma, she's doing great, and the health of my dad, he's out of the hospital, and he's totally recovered now!




While I was away, of blogland, I got some prizes I've won. Wendy sent me a bunch of fat quarters, aren't they adorable?, there's a fruit fabric there, hmmmm, the colors are breath taking...., they look better in person, the colors are brighter, I'm looking forward to use them, I love them!!!!


I got the purse I won over Mary Anne Ciccotelli, (check her blog, she's making a 3D quilt right now), she made a contest for a chance to win such a cutie, what can I say?, I'm thrilled, I love the color, the big buttons, the size!, it's perfect for me!!!, I'm not a tall person, that's why!, lol. I don't know why the pic came out "yellow", I'm going to take a better pic later.

I can't believe we're already in the second month of the year... where did january go?, I'm in holidays from my quilting school, so I'm having a rest, I'm working in my PIF gifts, hope to finish them soon and mail them out, my school's going to start in the middle of february, I can't wait!!!!, our first thing to do, it's kind of "mistery quilt", my teacher just asked us for the fabrics, I have the fabrics ready, she told us, it's going to be a big quilt!. I miss my quilting classes, and my partners, and making projects there as well, we're almost in the beggining of a new year of productive quilting!, yay!

I got two things on the mail, at the same time!, I'm guessing I'll have to buy lotto!, one was from Marj, her blog's Eclectic Quilter (I posted about it), in the p.o. box I found a paper I needed to go to the main post office and something was waiting for me there... I was waiting for it, to be honest, I was getting worried, but I had no idea, the paper was this, I was wondering who was and when I found out what was it, I almost jump in the post office, lol.
Can you guess what's in the box?, it isn't a contest, lol, my dad was holding it for the picture.
My prize from the Blog Hop finally arrived!, Santa came early to my way!!!!, I'm going to show you the prizes I got. The box was a bit damaged, (hope everything's there!), because the box was too heavy!!!, about 5.1 lbs of quilting supplies, can you believe it?, Still I can't, lol!, please someone pinch me!.




I decided to put the prizes in order, not all together, Gudrun sent me the package, and I asked her to sign the books she was going to send, and she did it!, isn't it cool from her? :), I'm going to have a forever memory from the Blog Hop!


Here's the fabrics, a kit, schnibbles, a cutter, threads, fat quarters, Heat n Bond...

Some of the fabulous patterns all of them have designed!!!!.

I can't explain how I'm feeling, I still can't believe it, there's a lot of things to see and I'm thrilled!!!, thanks to Gudrun and the gang...



Marj from the blog Eclectic Quilter sent me this, because she was making a contest, we needed to guess what was in one box of her, and I guessed it was a sewing machine!, yay! for me!!!!, her machine's gorgeous, if you like that kind of "toys", you need to check it out in her blog!.
You can see the goodies she sent to me, I took a picture to the brown fabric (the pic isn't showing the real colors), it's lovely!!!, I love brown fabrics!. I love everything in there, thank you very much Marj, for the package, you're really kind!!!! :). You'll see what I'm going to make!.
I've to say I got two things in the mail, blogger was misbehaving, and didn't allow me to post both on here, then I'm going to put another post.
I'm going to show you some pics of my latest projects, you saw a peek some time ago, and now I can say they're totally done!
