Instax Mini

I guess this week it's all about photography because I keep bumping into photo related things while surfing the internet.  Maybe I'm becoming a little obsessed.  Well let's stop the babbling and get right to the chase; if that makes any sense…

For a while now I've been looking for albums for my FUJIFILM Mini Instant Camera pictures.  I have lots of pictures on a sad box under my bed and they really need a new comfortable and safe place.  I really don't know how I ended up here but this website, MochiThings.com offers different options for your mini photos.  

The first one, in no particular order, is the Mini Polaroid Album Stand. It can fit up to 68 pictures and it looks really cool; you can change the pictures when a new day comes. If you like that check also this one.

Second one: Instax Mini Decoration Set.

Yes, I know what you are thinking: "I CAN DO THAT!".  I thought the same thing.  This one inspired me to start a new project. The cost  is $9.95 for only seven frames, seven color wood clips and braid.  For that same price I bet you can double the frames or what the heck, maybe even more.  (I'm putting this on my to-do-list).  But if you are tight on time or just lazy you can still buy them over here. 

Third One: Apple Green Mini Polaroid Frame 

First of all I'm not a big fan of color green, like my sister, but I love how this frame looks because of the Apple Green Color.  This is a great idea for displaying your favorite picture at your office desk or by a night stand.  The best part: It's a magnetic frame and photo board.  They also sell apart different magnet frames that you can easily swap for a new picture with a different color.

Last one: Instax Mini Polaroid Album v2

If you are just looking for a simple and stylish album this one is for you.  It can fit 64 instax and it comes with a card so you can label your album.

I still can't decide which one I like.  If you want to check their variety just click here.

Hello curiosers! This week has passed by so fast I can't even believe it's Friday already. I've been sewing new things that will be revealed at the right time. If you feel you need a sneak peak go to my Facebook page or checkout Tumblr for daily updates. I'm also re-taking pictures of the accessories I've got for sale at the storenvy store; I'm planning on doing a post on how they looked before and after and may I add that the new pictures are so much better. But enough with the bull shit let's here some jams.

Bow Bookmark!

One of my favorite things in the world are bows. Yes pretty little bows; I even have them tattooed. That's what got me inspired to do this handy bookmark.

By the way, how's your week going? Anything new you have made?

ENJOY!

Hello guys! Just wanted to share with you some good news!

Crazy b.

Today I took some pictures of Mona, the crazy b. lab. Sometimes she's so lazy and other times insane. But always posing for pictures. What a model, I think she likes it.

TGIMF!

It's Friday the 13th and it's also my 13th playlist. What a coincidence.

These days my hands has been smelling like melon thanks to that new pen I bought. In the meanwhile let's have some fun and listen to some music.

Agujas Mágicas.

Hello curios@s. Hope you have a great weekend! I've been lurking around for some info about hand embroidery and appliqué. I found this awesome page, Sublime Stitching, that I bet everyone who knows about embroidery had discovered it many years ago; well I

just found it and I love every pattern design in it! At some point I wanted to buy the Ultimate Embroidery Kit but I know so little that I decided to wait. Also tried to look for a book at Amazon but couldn’t determine which one I should get.

So, today I decided to ask my grandmother, because she has everything that could possibly exist when it comes to crafts & sewing. Rest assured, she knew exactly what I was talking about, had materials and even handed me a book. So I’m currently reading Agujas Mágicas which means Magic Needles and it explains pretty much what I was looking for. I’m crossing my fingers so I could at least do one project by the end of the week.

If you would like to share tips or show some of your work feel free to do it!

Anything you’re trying to learn?

TGIMF!

Ladies and gents sorry for the late post but I was out all day! Had to take my lab to the veterinarian. Hope you are in the mood for some tunes. Enjoy!



Feel free to check out the new stuff at my store.

Things I need to do.

In no particular order.

1. Sew more.
2. Be more consistent with my blog.
3. Organize my materials (fabrics, buttons, patterns, etc.)
4. Organize my photos (Polaroids, fisheye pics, and instax mini)
5. Get rid of stuff I don't need.
6. Learn something new.
7. Get the bike train pass.
8. Clean my car more often.
9. Finally do the picnic I've been talking about for months.
10. Take more pictures.

I need to do all these things and more.

Anything you need to accomplished?

It's me….Mario!

Hello curiousers! One of my favorite games is Super Mario Bros! I'm so obsessed with the series that I even have it on my phone, computer, wii, and the Nintendo DSi. Okay, on everything I own! I remember as a kid I played and owned all Nintendo consoles. I started with the Nes, and then had a Super Nintendo, Gameboy, N64, Gamecube and right now I have the Nintendo DSi and the red Wii, Super Mario Bros 25th year anniversary edtion. My favorite Mario game will forever be Super Mario Bros 3. I still love to play it; I love the pixelated graphics, the music, the simplicity of it and how easily you can die. To this day I still enjoy it. But why am I babbling about this? Well I found this great wallpaper that caused instant nostalgia. I'm so excited it about it that I would like to share it with you! Go check it out over here.

And if that doesn't calm your Mario addiction and after all this is a crafty blog try this Super Mario Bros magnetic board done by Laboratory 424. I know I'll be doing that one soon.

What retro games you worship?

TGIMF!

Another musical Friday brought to you by Curioux Disorder! Ahem! I've being going cuckoo these days, my current job is setting up on a new location and I haven't worked a lot. Yes haven't. Too bad for me! This Friday I'm doing things a little bit different. Since the page that I used for doing the playlist has a limit (yeah what a shitty page) and I've looked everywhere for other sites who could do the same as that one but none of them are successful.

1. Blondie Sunday Girl
2. Peter, Bjorn & John I just wanna see through
3. Julian CasaBlancas Out of the Blue
4. Passion Pit Sleepyhead
5. Los Nikis Yo soy tu sombra
6. Adam & the Ants Cleopatra
7. The Queers Love, love, love
8. The Go-Betweens Palm Sunday
9. The Skatalites Music storeroom

13. MGMT Electric feel
14. Misfits Some kinda hate

Oh yes! Here's the link!

Cute things!

If you don't know already, I'm obsessed with looking for things on the internet. I'm always checking out stuff that I'll never get to have or maybe one day I will, who knows? Here's some of my cute findings! Hope you like them too, I think most of them are from www.modcloth.com. Enjoy!

Cassette tape measure, well isn't that handy?

Matryoshka ice tray, yes I'm practically obsessed with these dolls, you'll see more ahead.

Matryoshka clips.

Bunny book holder. Great and adorable idea!

The Good, The Bad & The Barbie; I just love the title of this book. Wonder what is it about?

Alice Adventure's In Wonderland Book.

What a bath curtain!

This Matryoshka's doll stand is perfect for cards, tags, ect.

I need this! A camera tape holder!

Best lunch bag!

And for the last one, this purrfect measuring cups!

More curiosities!

Hello!! How you doing? Well I'm doing good myself, hope you guys are doing great too. In the past couple of weeks I've been taking some pictures of items I've bought and some I had on stock. So let's quit babbling and start with the pictures.

I received this beautiful fabric on the mail a week ago. And I just had to make something handy out of it.

I made this fantastic zipper pouch.

I also went to Walmart although I sometimes hate it, but I find really cool stuff; like these studs.

I also went to my favorite megastore, of course Marshalls and found this car air freshener. I love the vintage vibe and the phrase "Make your damn dinner", but something went terribly wrong with the smell. It says tomato soup I don't know why I fell for it but it smells horrible.

A nice old lady at work tought me how to make this very cute flower.

And another nice lady (my grandma), gave me this fruity fabric.

If you don't already know I'm a sucker for skeletons & skulls and everything weird like that, here's another item found at Walmart. I don't like to use foam but it was made of human remains so I had to get it.

And for the last one some of my findings (buttons, measuring tape, buttons, patches,….did I say buttons?)

I'm alive!

Culebra

Hello! It's Friday and yeah, I know it's a kinda of late post but I was pretty busy all week!

Headbands!

Today was a productive day. I went to work and then came home straight to my sewing machine. It's been weeks since I sew something completely new and with all my new magazines I couldn't wait to start a new project. Remember the headband I posted from the Quilts & More Magazine? Finally did it! And it turned out really pretty. It was very easy to make, at first I had some trouble with the instructions but thanks to my wonderful brain I figured it out and finished them right away. They look fantastic and it's a great accessory to go to the beach. I'll be wearing mine for the next few days since I'll be going to Culebra.

Rose my super model

What do you think? Are you ready to try a new project that you saw on a magazine?

Quick post!

I just wanted to share this wonderful fabric that I received yesterday. It was bought on Monday and I can't believe it's already here. Fastest shipping ever. I'm in love. I'm extremely obsessed with nesting dolls. Wait until you see my creation with this smashing fabric.

Have a great weekend!
