Handmade: yoga mat bag

This was so easy to make and is such a great way to carry my yoga mat around - I wonder why I didn't think of making one earlier!

An old treasure: an embroidery canvas

My great grandmother (whom I didn't get the chance to meet) used to do beautiful embroideries, mostly flowers - millions of tiny stitches with silk thread. She would choose a design and copy it by hand in vegetable paper, then she would stretch a piece of silk fabric onto the frame and copy the design and then the embroidery process would begin. But this one didn't.

"Taleigos" / Cloth bags, handmade a very long time ago

These "taleigos" (handmade cloth bags) were my great grandmother's. I found them in a very old suitcase in a house we had. Aren't they beautiful?

I took them with me to a workshop I attended in Retrosaria a few months ago and Rosa Pomar took these beautiful pictures of them.
