Les surprises de Fifi Mandirac

24/24

19 Jan 2010

I had promised to the ones who has no printer or a temperamental one, that I will find a solution : I printed the 24 patterns from my Avent calendar so they can buy it if they want…

Colours are bright and the size which is a little bigger than A4 (22 x 30 cm) will take part in any DIY project…

I was thinking to use them to cover my books. I found this idea on this picture. I am sorry because I can’t remember where it comes from…

I finally found out that this picture comes from this lovely blog. Thanks to Tove !

24 sheets – 24 patterns- paper 80g – size 22 x 30 cm – Shipping fee included

Crazy Liza Lou !

14 Jan 2010

Years ago, I fell in love with a work of art (a tribute to housewife’s work) crazy as much as beautiful

I wished to show you some picture since the day I started that blog, but I couldn’t remember the name of the artist.

And then … while wandering on the net, I found it ! The angel who has had the patience to make this masterpiece has a name which sounds like a doll : Liza Lou!

It brought me a answer to a question I had since then: how long did it take her to make her “Kitchen”? The answer is 5 years !!! 5 years covering up everything in this room with tiny glass pearls!

Luckily, after the success of her first work, she found some volunteers to follow her in her “Backyard“…

(Français) Vive la galette !

07 Jan 2010

I know that twelfth-night was yesterday, but it’s not a reason to forbid ourselves from eating the Twelfth Night cake, don’t you think ?

Here is my contribution to the party (with Clementine’s help, who just finished her intership) : colourful crowns for every heads !

Thank you so much for all your advices on the subject “fabrics made by Fifi”! It’s going to take a while, I am going to have to make some choices, find some money (or a sponsor who knows ?) but I am dying to do them as much as you do…

Here we go!

05 Jan 2010

It’s decided : this year will mean new projects! I am not going to reveal everything to you today, but there is one close to my heart, that I would like to share with you : I’d love to create fabric’s designs ..

Great ! you’re going to say, (I hope !) but which one ??? Flowers ? Dots ? What colour ? Which one of my pattern would you like to see on a fabric ? What would you use it for ? I’d like to know what you are thinking about all that…

D day !!!

25 Dec 2009

Thank you for being here everyday for the Advent Calendar !
Today is the last day …
But I can’t finish without one last surprise that will probably comfort those who couldn’t be there everyday.

I have gathered all the patterns on 4 pages in an ideal size for making a long guarland. It’s a piece of cake to make but since it’s Christmas, here is a tutorial.

I wish you happy, joyful and colorful holidays!!!! !
