This post has got me thinking about what I am going to make and what I am not going to bother for this Xmas. I intend on doing some things for my kids and seriously not buying them a whole lot. Each year Derek and I whittle down what we really want this celebration to be about and we are leaning more and more towards celebrating actual things, like the Solstice, the end of a year...and not a religious, out-of-whack gongsho...and coming together with what we think resonates with our feelings so we can pass down something true to us to our children.

Y comienza la locura:

La costa oeste...pero no es la brava!
We took a week to go and see this. It is beautiful, breathtaking, peaceful, and centering. I love being close to the Ocean. It reminds me of deeper things, it connects me to my center and gives me so much comfort. It is easy to loose yourself and your priorities sometimes in daily life, but being so close to such an empowering aspect of nature, that surrounds you completely, there is no other way but to call forth on those primal and primordial sentiments. I am happy to be back and I feel a change coming on. I am excited about ending this year with so much behind me. I am 32 now and it feels good.



Estas fotos demuestran un poco la belleza de lo que acabamos de vivir. Puedo soltarme cual vil perico recitando detalles, visitas, amigos, playas y eventos pero en realidad volvi muy recargada de energía, sintiendo que un cambio se avecina, sintiendome completamente a gusto dentro de mi vida y circunstancias, y esperando cerrar este año con nuevas tradiciones. Ando muy ocupada con las muñecas y me tomarán todavía otras dos semanas de locura, pero prontamente la calma retornará y podré sentarme a escribir un poco más y a tomar fotos que no sean de vestidos y bordados. Ahi los wacho.

El Otoño ha llegado!
Fall is definitely here in this neck of the woods, and all the things that are coming out of my fingers are very much inspired and touched by this beautiful season. I am knitting coats for the dolls, making hats for the family, a few dolls requested mittens and scarves...so did my kids so we'll see. We have a big basket full of beautiful, natural yarns...ready to be put to work. The list of things to do is so overwhelming that I just look at the three top things and try to tackle those as much as I can...the rest will be dealt with in due time. In the mean time let's all rejoice in the fact that the bit of snow we got this week won't be here for real for at least several months!
Con esto de las temperaturas bajas las creaciones se han visto severamente comprometidas. Seguimos trabajando por su bienestar, asi que disculpe las molestias que esto le ocasione. Por el momento estoy trabajando en muñecas con tonos otoñales, y unas hadas pispiretas a finales de Octubre, ya veremos que nos depara el destino. Adica y Finn requieren de muchos accesorios: gorros, guantes, mascadas, bufandas...y las muy prontas hasta escojen su estambre y me dicen que quieren que les haga con cada cual. No...a este paso se van a conseguir un latigo las muy mondrigas! A mi la verdad que me encanta estarles haciendo juguetes y ropa...pronosticando que prontamente no se van a querer trepar encima nada remotamente hecho a mano asi que hay que aprovechar su inocencia....y tupirle duro a todo aquello que se les antoje en su mentecita pechocha!

Swallowed
By the urgent need to knit and crochet for all the members of my family. All of a sudden is extra cold and we are all in dire need of head wear...handmade of course. I can't find the box of winter hats...don't know what I did with it...so in the meantime I am gonna' keep on knitting. I just finished the green one and I'm absolutely in love...Derek wants one just the same for him so I guess there's a few more in my knitting future.

Con eso de que se nos vino una onda fría se nos anda helando la pelona...no encuentro la caja con los gorros y bufandas y como lo que menos me hace falta es un puchoncito pos ando como con 4 gorros comenzados al mismo tiempo...uno pa' cada quien. La primera ganona fue Finn...con su super casco verde...me encanto este y el Derek quiere que le haga uno asi que ahi vere como me va con la adaptada del patrón de bebe contra "cabeza humana desproporcianadamente grandi, tipo bote de basura de 100 litros".
