Having fun is easy

Last Sunday when I met with the girls at Minervas circle we organized something that I believe it had been "on the works" while I was back in Spain. We had talked for the longest time about this quilting shop called The Swannee Valley Quilt Shoppe located 45 min away from where we live. We don't have local quilt shops around here because the only one we had was closed last year I believe. We had heard that this shop was huge and that it also had a cafe, so it was a great plan to spend a whole day with my crafting friends.

El pasado domingo cuando me reuni con mis amigas de Minervas circle organizamos algo que creo que ya se estaba cociendo cuando yo estaba en España. Habiamos hablado desde hacia mucho tiempo de esta tienda de telas llamada The Swannee Valley Quilt Shoppe y que esta a 45 minutos de donde vivimos. No tenemos tiendas locales de quilting por aqui porque la unica que habia la cerraron hace un año creo. Habiamos oido sobre esta tienda que era muy grande y que tambien tenia una cafeteria, asi que nos parecio un gran plan para pasar un dia con mis amigas de la costura.

The diversity of fabrics was amazing, lots of inspiration and I felt the desire to explore colors or patterns that are our of my niche...of course I really didn't get out of it too much, it is hard to not go for the fabrics you have always loved.

La variedad de telas fue increible, mucha inspiracion y senti el deseo de explorar colores de los que no suelo usar...claro que realmente no compre muchas telas asi, es dificil salirse de los colores que a una le vuelven loca.

And here is my best crafting buddy, my inspiration and my energy to keep on going. Thinking today of my husband (like every day), after 6 months of his deadly accident.
