While the virus is on the loose around the world wreaking havoc, I'm at home cooped up, devoting myself like a modern-day granny, cyber blogger, to social media and my beloved #Hive. These are the only visits I'm allowed.
This confinement has helped me to find myself again because I was totally lost at work, and that's not worth it, as Juan Gabriel's song says.
In my real life, I like to do handicrafts. I do cross-stitch embroidery, wood painting, and some sewing. I say some sewing because I am not a seamstress, nor a specialist. I have taken two basic courses and one in intimate apparel. I'm going little by little; at a snail's pace.
I embroidered a rose in cross stitch and with this embroidery, I recycled an old cushion. This one was hand-stitched because the machine wouldn't start. It seems to be a problem with the foot pedal. I will look for someone to check it later.
To start my way through this nice Highlighting NeedleWorkMonday Community, I bring you my nice garden.
Greetings to OCD for promoting and supporting the communities with the incubation project.
Mientras el virus anda suelto por el mundo haciendo estragos, estoy en casa encerrada dedicándome como toda un abuelita actual, cibernética bloguera, a las redes sociales y a mi querida #Hive. Son las únicas visitas que tengo permitido.
Este encierro me ha servido para reencontrarme, porque estaba totalmente perdida en el trabajo, y eso no vale la pena, como dice la canción de Juan Gabriel.
En mi vida real me gusta hacer manualidades. Hago bordados en punto de cruz, pintura en madera y algo de costura. Digo algo de costura porque no soy costurera, ni especialista. He hecho dos cursos básicos y uno de ropa íntima. Ahí voy poco a poco; a paso de tortuga.
Bordé una rosa en punto de cruz y con este bordado reciclé un cojín viejo. Este fue cosido a mano porque la máquina no quiso prender. Parece que es un problema en el pedal. Después buscaré quien me la revise.
Para iniciar mi camino por esta linda Comunidad Highlighting NeedleWorkMonday, les traigo mi lindo jardín.
Saludos a OCD por impulsar y apoyar a las comunidades con el proyecto de incubación.
I did the embroidery in cross stitch and then recycled an old cushion.
Hice el bordado en punto de cruz y luego recicle un cojín viejo.
Materials used for embroidery: etamine or Aida fabric (20 x 25), embroidery threads of various colors, medium drum, and scissors.
Los materiales utilizados para el bordado: tela etamina o Aida (20 x25), hilos para bordar de varios colores, tambor mediano y tijera.
I used a cross-stitch magazine as a model to make the rose. From the publisher Cinco Cultural, S.A. Colombia. Year 6, number 35. (ISSN 0122-9435).
Utilicé como modelo para realizar la rosa una revista de punto de cruz. De la editora Cinco cultural, S.A. Colombia. Año 6, número 35. (ISSN 0122-9435).
I embroidered the rose, small flowers, ribbon, and my name "Rebecca". I used a backstitch to make the branches and outlines. Used normal small needles.
Instrucciones para el bordado
Bordé la rosa, las flores pequeñas, lazo y mi nombre “Rebeca”. Utilicé el punto atrás para hacer las ramas y los contornos. Utilizó agujas normales pequeñas.
Use the following materials to recycle the cushion: pink and white silk fabric, white flannel, scissors, white and pink thread, cross-stitch embroidery, green ribbon raisin, thin salmon and orange ribbon, clear stones, and pink tulle lace.
Utilice los siguientes materiales para reciclar el cojín: tela de seda rosada y blanca, franela blanca, tijeras, hilo blanco y rosado, bordado en punto de cruz, pasa cinta de color verde, cinta delgada de color salmón y anaranjado, piedras transparentes y encaje de tul rosado.
Step 1: I stuffed the cushion to give it more strength. I used an old pillow stuffing. I made a pouch out of old white flannel.
Paso 1: Rellené el cojín para darle más fuerza. Utilicé un relleno con una almohada vieja. Hice un saquito con una franela blanca vieja.
I got an old flannel of my son's that was destroyed by ants and recycled it.
My son tells me that the ants and I are done with his clothes.
The figure is not damaged, I am going to recycle it too. I will show it to you in another publication.
Conseguí una franela vieja de mi hijo que la destrozaron las hormigas y la reciclé.
Mi hijo me dice que las hormigas y yo hemos acabado con su ropa.
La figura no está dañada, la voy a reciclar también. Se la mostraré en otra publicación.
Step 2: To protect the cushion and prevent the stuffing from showing through, I made a cover for it out of old white pants.
Paso 2: Para proteger el cojín y evitar que el relleno se vea, le hice una funda con un pantalón blanco viejo.
Step 3: I put the pink silk on the front and sewed the embroidery on it. For the back, I used white silk.
Paso 3: La seda rosada la puse en la parte delantera y le cosí el bordado. Para la parte trasera utilicé la seda blanca.
Step 4: I put a green ribbon around the edge, with four little bows in the corner and a little transparent stone.
I used thin orange and salmon-colored ribbons.
Paso 4: Le puse por la orilla pasa cinta verde, con cuatro lazitos en la esquina y con una piedrita transparente.
Utilicé cinta delgada color anaranjado y salmón.
I enjoyed making my cute cushion and liked the way it turned out. I hope you did too, friends of the Highlighting NeedleWorkMonday community.
Disfruté haciendo mi lindo cojín y me gustó como quedó. Espero que a ustedes también, amigos de la comunidad Highlighting NeedleWorkMonday.
