Finally DIY Owls Handbags and Polka Dots on My Nails

You might've seen this on my Facebook page @Purcell's Purse or on my profile.
But now finally putting them on my blog as well since they seem to be the most popular bags of all times. I have to admit owls are super cute plus super trendy now so I understand the fuzz around it.
I managed to make 4 of them already which means 4 satisfied customers. You can see the pictures of two of them below. And be sure to mind the inner fabric, because they might not look different on the outside but the touch with the inner colour is priceless in my humble opinion. ;)
Hope you like them.

Follow up: Already sewed another bag, this one for my sister who had special ideas again so here you have an added yellow line, because otherwise this bag really lacks colours. ;)

Oh, also took the time to redo my nails.

PS: Can't wait for happy December to start so I can finally bake some of my favourite cookies.

DIY Music Bags and New Fabrics

 So studying on Academy of music makes you be involved in orchestras and other projects with other musicians. Obviously. And then everyone there is of course crazy about all things musical. And bags made out of fabric that has some notes and instruments etc on is no exception.

So lately Neža and Špela ordered these two bags, quite different in size and the colour of the inner fabric and of course both absolutely great.

I only took these two pictures of the bag on my phone, therefore not so good quality and no details.

And today I was in Svet metraže again. It's been five days since my last visit, folks, five (5) days. That means I'm so not serious as a customer. Forgive me. :D
But anywho, joke aside, today I've spent almost two hours there, oops, and spent quite some money and brought home some great fabrics for some ordered bags and some to spare and make bags with no particular order.

If you want a bag and check more of them out visit my facebook page @Purcell's Purse with a new edited album of handbags.

Autumn/Fall nails

Last week on Slovenian Bloggers there was this entry on Adjusting Beauty I knew straight away I will have to try it out. Wasn't sure how it will come out since I don't have an orange nail polish or a proper sponge or long(ish) nails. But I tried my best and came up with what you can see on the pictures below.

For base I used this old Visions nail polish that is kinda a sparkly beige. To create the 'orange' fall leaves colour I applied some red (essence fame fatal) and yellow (s-he) on cosmetic pad. After adding some gold shimmer (essence go bold!) I finished the look with clear top coat (Shana).

Now let's go out and enjoy this perfect sunshine and sparkle away with our nails. :)

Owl Attack

Instant improvement of one's fabric: add owls. :)

Which is what I did today. Bought 7 different owl fabrics for two reasons: handbags and handkerchiefs and cute. Oh, that's three reason. ;)

Hope you like them.

Keep coming back for there will be a lot going on in the future. Thanks.

DIY Twin Roses Handbags

Well it has finally been one weekend that I was free and got the time to take pictures of the new bags and get some me time, well not really but that's another story.

What I already got done during the week is sewing all these handbags, a total of seven (that is 7!).
(Yeah, and I always say I don't have any time, I know, I just took some, oops).

 These are the first two sets of twin bags I made this week, all four of them. And below there are detailed collages of the rose ones.

For the striped pink and green twins check out the previous entry.

And tomorrow I'm going back to Svet metraze (been there 5 times in the last week already) and buying some more fabrics for the bags that you've ordered. I can't wait and hopefully you can't wait either. ;)

Oh, PS: For the ones who read the previous post: I successfully persuaded my sister to start learning that Rachmaninoff. ;)

DIY green and pink striped twin bags

It's been too long, way too long since I sewed anything but now I'm back on the scene with my sewing maschine back on my desk and what else to do than start right away.

There has been a few people that had their birthdays and I'm so super late with everything that I only sewed these bags for them now.

These are for two of my dear friends, twin bags as I would call them, one bigger and one smaller. I picked the colours that I hope will suit them, I tried my best. :)
And Svet metraze helped me with that, especially my favourite salesman was being as sweet as always. ;) 

Hope you like them.

Keep sure to come back in a few days as there will be more entries soon and meanwhile check out my new page Purcell's Purse on facebook and follow me on pinterest and twitter. Thank you! :)

And if you feel like listening to some piano this is one amazing piece by Rachmaninov, that I'm trying to persuade my sister to learn. :)

Quiche in a Cup Recipe

I know it has been too long since I wrote the last entry. It's just that I have been quite busy plus my sewing machine broke and I just got it back a few days back. And well the thing is that because I didn't sew anything I just didn't have any other idea what to write about. Sorry.

Then yesterday I accidentally came across a site with all these different foods you can quickly prepare in a cup in a microwave. And so because I was just hungry for some dinner I found a simple recipe for quiche and quickly made it my own with a few differences.

If you want to try it it's super easy, takes only like 3-4 minutes and you have a nice, hot dinner, or breakfast if you will.

You will need:

- an egg

- a tablespoon of milk

- half of a cup of soft bread

- a teaspoon of sour cream

- cheese

- salt

- smoked ham (or any other for that matter)

- your favourite seasonings that you feel can work with this ingredients

First you smash the egg into the cup and add the milk. You beat these two with a fork and add some salt and the seasonings. Tear the bread into small pieces and stir it into the cup. Mix everything together nicely and be sure that the bread absorbs so much liquid that you don't have a puddle of egg and milk in the bottom of the cup still. (PS: Just try it two or three times and you'll see how much bread you must add, don't add too much or everything might be too dry in the end.) After stiring in the bread add sour milk, some grated cheese (preferably one that really melts good) and in the end cut in some smoked ham. You can sparkle some spices on top as well just like I did on the picture below.

Now all you have to do is put the cup into the microwave for about 2 minutes on high.

Enjoy. :)

Hope you tried it yourself. Please leave your thoughts in the comment below. Would love to hear of your adjustments. :)
