Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to me and to my hubby, wherever you are, up there in the sky.

Feliz aniversario para mi y para mi maridin, donde quiera que estes, ahi arriba en el cielo.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!!! and for the first time, and probably not the last one...white Christmas!
We have arrived and are setted in our new home and we are enjoying the beautiful snow flakes are they fall. As if it was a welcome message to a very different new life for us.

Feliz Navidad!!! y por primera vez, y probablemente no la ultima...navidades blancas! Hemos llegado y nos hemos hecho a nuestro nuevo hogar y estamos disfrutando de los copitos de nieve tan bonitos mientras caen. Es como un mensaje de bienvenida a una nueva vida muy distinta para nosotros.

My home is almost in order, still need to go out and buy more things to make it look like a real home, but slowly getting there. The only part that is a mess still and I am not sure of how that will be arranged is my craft/sewing area....wow...I had no idea I had so much stuff! boxes and boxes of fabric and notions....well one of this day I will have them organized and will start sewing in my new home. Can't wait. That would be something nice to do during the holidays.

Mi casa esta casi organizada, aun necesito salir a comprar mas cosas para que parezca un hogar de verdad, pero poco a poco estamos poniendolo en orden. La unica parte que es un poco desastrosa y no se como organizarla es la de mis trabajos manuales/costura....ofuuu...no sabia que tenia tanta cosa! cajas y cajas de telas y accesorios...bueno un dias de estos los tendre organizados y empezare a coser en mi nuevo hogar. Me encantaria hacerlo durante las vacaciones.

Well, in the meantime, I will enjoy discovering this new place with Luca, my family and batman car, who since he received it from Santa this morning, hasn't left his side. Happy holidays!!!!

Bueno, y mentras, disfruare desubriendo este nuevo lugar con Luca, mi familia y el coche de batman, que esde que lo recibio esta manhana de parte de Papa Noel, no se ha separado de el. Felices fiestas!!!

Happy and sad

I feel happy and excited and lucky to have such wonderful family and friends during these days before our departure to a new home, and new city, and new unknown environment. In just 3 days we will start our journey to a different state, where Luca will start attending an oral school that I am sure will help him greatly with his communication skills. He has been doing great lately, he talks a lot, he has lots to say, he is an outgoing child and very sociable, so that makes it all much easier. He is learning two languages at once, even though he only speaks one of them, but his brain is registering the other one at the same time, he understands it, and starts using some of those words. But he needs more intensity in his learning, and so do I.

Estoy muy contenta y emocionada y me siento afortunada de tener una familia y amigos tna buenos durante estos días antes de nuestra partida a nuestro nuevo hogar, nueva ciudad, y un ambiente nuevo. En solo 3 días empezaremos nuestro viaje a un nuevo estado, donde Luca comenzará un nuevo programa en un colegio oral que estoy segura de que le ayudará mucho en su nivel de comunicación. Ha mejorado mucho últimamente, habla mucho, tiene mucho que contr, es un niño abierto y sociable, así que es mucho más fácil. Está aprendiendo dos lenguas a la vez, aunque solo hable una, pero su cerebro esta registrando las dos, entiende la otra e incluso ha empezado a usar algunas palabras. Pero necesita más intensidad en su aprendizaje, y yo también.

So it's time for goodbyes, for see you soons and for come and see us! It is hard to leave friends that are like family for us, even though you know that sooner or later you will meet again, it is just sad to live far away and to start from zero with friends again. I will have one friend there, one that is going through the same journey as we are, so that will be a great thing for us. And it is also hard to close chapters of our lives, we say goodbye to memories, to places, to some of our past. We leave the place where my husband and I lived together during our short marriage, his plants, his gardens and all the memorials. We will be back for sure, Luca will have to see all of this when he is older.

Así que es la hora del adiós, del hasta pronto y del ¡venir a vernos! Es difícil dejar a los amigos que son como familia para nosotros, anque sabes que tarde o temprano los volverás a encontrar, es triste vivir lejos de ellos y de empezar de cero con los amigos de nuevo. Tendré una amiga alli, una que esta pasando por las mismas cosas que yo, así que eso estará muy bien. Y también es difícil cerrar capítulos de nuestras vidas, decimos adios a los recuerdos, a los lugares, a parte de nuestro pasado. Dejamos el lugar donde mi marido y yo vivimos juntos durante nuestro breve matrimonio, sus plantas, sus jardines, y todos los recordatorios. Volveremos seguro, Luca tendrá que ver todo esto cuando sea mayor.

And now, back to packing and few hard days are ahead of us, Merry Christmas to all of you and I wish you a wonderful year 2010, lots of love, health and happiness to you all!

Y aahora de vuelta a empaquetar y unos cuantos días duros nos esperan, Feliz Navidad a todos y os deseo un año 2010 maravilloso, ¡con mucho amor, salud y alegría para todos!

Flower workshop

My sister became interested and subsequently good at cake decorating. Of course she planted the seed and I like to try anything so I gave it a try. My friend Pilar is a great baker, she makes the best desserts, she enjoys it so much! And of course we all benefit from it. So we gave her a little surprise, I provided with the tools and my sister taugh us how to make flowers through skype. Great idea right? Yes, it was great, we had tons of fun and look at the results! not bad:)

Mi hermana se intereso y seguidamente se hizo muy buena decorando pasteles. Por supuesto planto la semilla en mi, a mi que me gusta probarlo todo y lo tuve que intentar. Mi amiga Pilar es una gran pastelera, hace los mejores postres y lo distruta tanto! Y claro que todos los demas nos beneficiamos de eso. Asi qeu decidimos darle una sorpresa, yo le regale las herramientas y mi hermana nos dio una clase de como hacer flores a traves de skype. Que buena idea no? Si, lo fue, nos los pasamos muy bien y mirad los resultados! no esta nada mal :)

Shopping bag with ribs

This is my newest bag, it's a huge like shopping bag...I hope the person that will be getting it shortly will enjoy it and use it a lot. I had to make those ribs on the side because it was so big that it was losing it's own shape. I decided this was a good way to give it a bit of structure. A good piece of plastic for the base would have helped too.

Esta es mi ultima bolsa, es una bolsa enorme como de compras...espero que la persona que la reciba dentro de poco la disfrute. Tuve que hacerle esos lados porque era tan grande que perdia la forma. Un buen trozo de plastico le vendria bien para la base.

No much more sewing for the rest of the year. I have one more thing to show but then I will be getting ready to travel and I won't be able to make or share much more. I have big plans for the following year, let's see what 2010 brings us. Wow...entering a new decade isn't that crazy?? This one that is leaving has probably been the richest for me, so much happened in my life. Let's see what the next one surprises me with...

No mas costura en lo que queda del anho. Tengo una cosa mas para ensenhar pero pronto me ire de viaje y no podre hacer o mostrar nada nuevo. Tengo muchos planes para el anho que viene, a ver lo que nos brinda el 2010. Jo...comenzando una nueva decada, que locura no??? Esta que ya nos deja ha sido probablemente la mas rica para mi, tanto ha ocurrido en mi vida. A ver que sorpresas nos trae la proxima...
