LATEST NEWS:

I FINALLY HAVE OPENED MY SHOP ON ETSY!!! IT'S CALLED CHIKUCHIKUS AND I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT! YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT OUR FIRST COLLECTION BASED ON "THE WIZARD OF OZ". I WON'T BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN MANY SWAPS OR VISIT THE FORUMS AS MUCH AS I WOULD LIKE TO SINCE I'M BUSY MAKING THINGS FOR THE SHOP AND GETTING THE ORDERS READY. SORRY IF I TAKE A WHILE TO ANSWER MESSAGES. I'LL SEND ALL THE SWAPS ON TIME, THOUGH.

My name is Silvia. I'm from Manresa, just a 45 min. drive from Barcelona. I'm married to a great man called Miguel Angel and we have two daughters. Alba is four years old and Laia is one year old. They are the prettiest, smartest and sweetest things! Right now I work part time as a teacher to be at home with my daughters and do some crafting to sell. We have just opened a shop on Etsy to sell my creations. It's something I had in mind so long ago and finally went for it. Now so many ideas have to be made! We live in a big flat which we have reformed and decorated in a Ikea-practical but original style. We also have to yorkie toys named "Yumi" and "Ginger" so we are a big family.

I like reading this on other people’s profile so you make sure you don’t send them anything they wouldn’t enjoy getting. Here’s mine: teacher stickers or stickers about cars, teams, sports, transports... something too boyish and not cute enough ; )

• Kawaii stickers ( specially food )
• Kawaii goodies like bags, notepads, pouches, stationery... anything goes if it's kawaii!
• Anything with Hello Kitty. It's one of my favourites characters. My daughters loooove her and I wonder why ; )
• Felt Kawaii plushies
• Vintage kawaii items
• Amigurumis
• Fabric! I'd love to get some with a Halloween/Christmas pattern or kawaii style but I love all types of fabric!
• Magazines! about crafts in general, Christmas and Halloween crafts, felt, vintage crafts and polymer clay.
• Buttons with shapes, cabochons and charms ( I collect them )
