Hello everyone or at least those of you that read my blogs. As I mentioned in my last entry, I’ve been pretty active on Facebook live transmissions. I already have a lot to edit to upload to my YouTube channel but yes, it is time consuming which takes away the little time left to work on the projects that come to my mind and I sure don’t want that. I’ve been trying to get to pul ...

Sooo, I have an announcement to make: I have decided to do live transmissions via Facebook Live. I had my first live last Saturday in Spanish. Take a look at this week’s live and join me. https://www.facebook.com/ErikaCreativa/ This is from last week:
I always wanted to make a pop tab hat. I am an admirer of the work of Tabistry. I think she makes the most amazing pieces with the pop tabs like corsets and hats. Most of her work is with the weaving technique and honestly that is something that has been difficult for me to do. Check out her work! meanwhile I present to you my own version of a pop tab hat. I hope you like it. https://youtu.be/MDu ...
A few years back I made this strap with aluminum pop tabs and it is crochet-lined on the inside. This allows the strap to feel more comfortable, it looks nice, it’s very flexible and very resistant. Take a look at it. Hope you like it! Used on a purse Tutorial: Thank you for your visit!
No pop tabs this time. Just crochet. I don’t know if I have ever mentioned but I am a passionate for everything related to the Victorian era. The clothing, the history…. Anyway, I made myself some necklaces that look like the ones from the Victorian era. Yes? No? Maybe? I liked them. Take a look: Video tutorial for one (Spanish) Thank you for your visit! Don’t be shy and comm ...
I am fascinated by owls. I think they are amazing creatures (as all living creatures) and they are a cute crochet project. As always with my purpose of recycling, this backpack is made with aluminum pop tabs. I was the organizer of a contest some years ago. All the projects were fantastic and I really liked the response I had from my followers. I did my own version and I want to introduce it: Her ...
This project was made right before St. Valentine’s Day. For us that like granny squares, we know there are many possibilities with them. The Spanish tutorial es available in my channel and I am working on the written tutorial and all of my English tutorials. I am confident though that the tutorial is understandable. With 8 granny squares I made 2 handbags and a flower base case. Take a look ...
Hello everyone! Even though I haven’t updated this blog, I have been working on new projects. I always wanted to do something with small squares and this is what I came up with: I have the Spanish tutorial available in my YouTube channel here and the written pattern here. Feel free to leave a comment, follow me on my social networks and subscribe to my channel.
Hi everyone! It’s been a long time since I posted. I apologize for being absent this long but my kids got most of my attention to a point that I had to leave my crafts on hold. I did work on a small project doing an amigurumi. I am not an expert but it came out pretty cute. What do you think? I’m sorry I didn’t do a tutorial of this one but like I said, there are many awesome tut ...
Hola a todos! hace mucho que no escribía y es que he tenido ciertas dolencias que sospecho se trata del túnel carpiano (entumecimiento en mano y brazo) debido a los movimientos repetitivos, uso del ratón, etc. Me gustaría tratar este tema aparte para darles unos consejitos sobre las manualidades que expongo aqui y que también han contribuido un poco a esta condición. He estado trabajando en otros ...
