Christmas is around the corner!

In this country sometimes even before Thanksgiving you start seeing signs of Christmas approaching! I thought that was a bit too much...but once we are in December, I can say I officially feel the Christmas spirit getting closer. We decided to put up the tree, so that Luca can talk about it at school, mainly, but also because it is so colorful and so pretty, that it brings some sense of warmth to our home. Not that we don't have color around here...but this is color and lights :) I am also working in a mini sewing project and I took the Christmas mini photography class taught by Jackie Rueda. That inspire me to put up the tree too, so I could take some shots. I am not that happy with my shots, but if I don't take pictures, I won't learn! And of course, I dropped my camera and broke one of my lenses, that I hope is under warranty still...so let's hope I get it back all repaired and nice soon...in the meantime, we will do with my other very much loved 35mm lense. Enjoy the pics!

En este pais a veces incluso antes de Accion de Gracias empiezas a ver senhales de que la Navidad se acerca! Pienso que se pasan...pero una vez que entramos en Diciembre, la verdad es que yo tambien siento el espiritu de la Navidad aproximandose. Decidimos poner el arbolito, para que Luca pueda hablar de ello en el cole, sobretodo, pero tambien porque es tan colorido y tan bonito, que da calidez a nuestro hogar. No esque necesitemos mas color en casa...pero es que trae color y luces :) Tambien estoy haciendo un mini proyecto de costura e hice una mini clase de fotografia ensenhada por Jackie Rueda. Eso me inspiro a poner el arbol tambien, para poder hacer algunas fotos. No estoy muy conteta con las fotos, pero si no hago fotos no aprendo! y claro, se me cayo la camara y rompi una de mis lentes, que espero este bajo garantia aun...asi que esperemos que me la devuelvan arreglada pronto...mientras tanto, me conformo con mi otra lente que tanto quiero de 35 mm. Que disfruteis de las fotos!

The funny thing about these shots is that in half of them you can see my reflection in some ornament, look for the hot pink sweater!

Lo divertido sobre algunas de estas fotos es que en la mitad se me ve reflejada en alguna decoracion, buscar el jersey fucsia!

Faltó la foto del arbol completo!!

Una buena fotógrafa se tiene que ver reflejada en su trabajo, no?

NICE SHOTS. I SEE YOUR REFLECTION WITH THE CAMERA IN ONE SHOT. HOPE YOUR CAMERA IS UNDER WARRANTY. IT DOES TAKE NICE PICS. LOVE THE GLITTERY CANDLE HOLDERS. LOOKS LIKE GLITTERY SEED BEADS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VOTIVES. LUCA MUST BE GETTING SO EXCITED. WHAT SEWING PROJECT ARE YOU WORKING ON? ONE ORNAMENT, I WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAND MADE IN SEWING ARENA.
