A break for the summer

It looks like the heat of summer keeps me a bit slow. I have been trying hard to get things done and in the meantime, I have left my blog a bit to the side. I guess first things come first. Luca occupies most of my time and when I have a bit spare, I try to catch up with other things, including doing some crafts. But not much. We had a baby shower for some friends that came from another town, and I decided I had to make something special for this new baby. My friend Pilar helped me, I had no energy to finish this mini quilt, or hanging quilt, and that not only made me happy (good company is always appreciated in a boring Saturday afternoon) but also helped me get inspired to finish a beautiful little present. The baby's mama like it.

Parece que el calor del verano me tiene un poco lenta. He estado intentando con todas mis fuerzas dejar cosas hechas y mientras tanto, he dejado mi blog un poco de lado. Supongo que lo primero es lo primero. Luca me tiene bastante ocupada y cuando tengo un ratito, intento adelantar con cosas pendientes incluyendo hacer algunas manualidades. Pero no mucho. Tuvimos una fiesta para unos amigos que esperan una ninha y que viven en otra ciudad, y decidi hacer algo especial para este bebe. Mi amiga Pilar me ayudo, no tenia ya energias para acabar esta mini quilt, o cuadrito de tela, asi que no solo estuve feliz (buena companhia se aprecia en tardes de sabado aburridas) pero ademas me ayudo a inspirarme a acabar este regalito tan mono. A la mama del bebe le gusto.

And this is the card that Pilar made, cute uh?

Y esta es la tarjeta que Pilar le hizo, que mona eh?

Today I just wanted to share some pictures of my blooming plants, just like Gisele did today. Her garden must be incredible, mine is just begging for some water and barely making it. Also, Luca and I are leaving for a while to California. Let's see if it makes it without us. We are going to attend a summer camp for children that are hearing impaired and their parents. This will be an excellent experience for both of us and a nice change from the hot summer holidays. I will be away from computers for a while, but I will be back sometime in July. I hope everybody has a great summer!

Hoy solo queria compartir algunas imagenes de mis plantas que estan floreciendo, como hizo Gisele hoy. Su jardin debe ser increible, el mio esta suplicando agua y casi sobrevive. Ademas, Luca y yo nos vamos por un tiempo a California. A ver si sobrevive nuestra ausencia. Nos vamos a un curso para ninhos con problemas de audicion y sus padres. Sera una buenisima experiencia para los dos y un cambio agradable del caluroso verano en Florida. Estare lejos de los ordenadores por un tiempo, pero volvere en Julio. Espero que todos tengais un buen verano!
