”Prietene, te simți golaș, căci ești sărac, Dar află ce-ți voi zice: Decât să faci parada unui frac, De zece ori e omul mai ferice Să-și poarte sufletul drept haină! Râvnește, dar, la tot ce e dumnezeiesc, păstrat în taină.” Cătălina Alexandra Stan

Dear Followers,

Please be advised that we cannot give advice on any other patterns and stitches but the ones we teach/show. Also, remember that ...Catalina, the fonder of CoolorfulDIY, continues to be blind. As a result, she faces a few difficulties in giving advice on some of the old tutorials and advanced stitches.
Thank you for your understanding.
Love and support.

Dear Reader, I am Catalina, the person behind this blog. I am currently recovering after a stroke I suffered on the 1st of November, 2013. It left me nearly deaf for a while, and, sadly, completely blind at the moment. This blog is one of the things helping me not to loose my mind. You can read more in the About Me page. Many of you wrote to me and my sister and told us they would like to help. You can do so by grabbing our button bellow, uploading it onto your server and hard linking it on your website to http://catalinastan.com/. spread the word around and help us grow awareness about blindness.

Just because it is on the web it does not make it free. Don't be tempted to steel copyrighted material and other people's work. You would be breaking the law.
