Happy Birthday to me!

Castellano

Buenas tardes amigas/os! espero que esten comenzando este fin de semana con toda la buena onda y alegría posible. Les cuento que estuve un poco ausente del blog simplemente porque estuve un poco ocupada. La semana pasada fue mi cumple y mi querido esposo tuvo la brillante idea de llevar a toda la familia (incluyendo a mis hijitas de 4 patas!) a la playa por 4 días. Debo contarles que la pasamos buenisimo es la primera vez que visito Carolina del Norte - Outer Banksy es muy lindo! Fue relajante y los días fueron perfectos, llenos de sol y calorcito! Eso si el agua estaba congelada!!! Pero igual hicimos tripa corazón y nos metimos. Mis perritas vieron el mar por primera vez y aunque sean perritas ellas tambien tienen su "Bucket List" y una de las cosas en la lista de ellas era ver el mar! La verdad que la pasamos bárbaro. Mis suegros lo re difrutaron también.

Confesión: Amo la vida chicas, la familia que me rodea los amigos que Dios me puso en el camino, las cosas cotidianas, la verdad que a pesar de que todo no sea perfecto amo a la vida.
Ayer me agarro la locura y me puse a hacer pulseritas para mi, para mi energia. La verdad que empeze con yoga a full eso si también bailo, porque te hace bien para la salud!
El tejido esta lento, lo que pasa es que hace mucho calor! Tengo ganas de estar en la pile tomando sol disfrutando del verano que es cortito. Eso si estoy tratando de ponerme al día con la lectura, comencé a leer un libro que se llama "Todas las luces que no podemos ver" el autor es Anthony Doerr, y la verdad que por ahora va bien lindo.

Bueno chicas las dejo me voy a disfrutar el finde! Un abrazote de oso!

Good afternoon friends! I hope you are starting your weekend with good energy and happiness! I was a long week but Friday is here! The reason why I haven't blog this past week was because I was busy. Last week it was my birthday and my dear husband had the brilliant idea of taking the whole family (including my 4 legs girls) to the beach for 4 days! I have to tell you that we had a wonderful time it was the first time that I visited NC- OuterBanks and I love it. The weather was perfect, sunny, hot but the water was very cold, but we didn't care we took deep breath and we jumped in! lol it was a lot of fun. My doggies saw the ocean for the first time and they loved it! it was part of their bucket list! My in- laws were great and they had a great time too.

Confession:

I love life girls! my familia, all my friends that God put on my path, the everyday life, and even though not everything is perfect I love life.

I started Yoga every day! Oh gosh it feels good, I also put music and dance kinda workout, it makes me laugh and I work all my muscles! Yesterday, I made a lot of bracelets for myself I have a lot of gemstones that I bought I while back, each gemstone has a meaning and they help your energy. Call me crazy if you want, it's ok, lol

Knitting has been slow, I have to admit that it's been so hot and I don't feel like touching yarn too much, so I knit on and off. I'm trying to catch up on reading now. Oh I started reading " All the things we cannot see" by Anthony Doerr, and so far I like it a lot.

Well I have to go now, I hope you have a wonderful weekend and a big hug for ya!

Feelings and Knitting

Sometimes we feel passion for what we do, sometimes we are disappointed with the results. Other times we get bored of working on the same thing and we get anxious to finish so we can start something new. We're always looking for what are we going to make next!and sometimes we just fell in love with our project!
And that's what I'm feeling right now!
What are you feeling for your actual project now?

Happy Knitting!

This is the story of my scarf

For me every item that I knit has a meaning at the end.

When I started knitting the scarf I felt invincible, because even though it was a difficult pattern for me I decided to make it. Well it was not easy.

I started the scarf about 6 times, and it was always something wrong. I was about to give up, to start another project easier. I was angry with myself.

One day I called my mother and she was not having a good day, things were getting complicated with my dad, she said to me: “ I don’t know what to do or from where to get more strength to keep me going, but I do know one thing hijita, I’m not giving up, I must keep going for him and for me, everything is going to be all right”.

After that conversation I realized that this scarf needed to be perfect and it needed to be done on time to take it to her.

Yesterday I finished the scarf for my mom. I can’t explain to you the satisfaction I felt when I cast of the last stitch, I felt proud because I didn’t give up, I did what my mother taught me, I kept going.  I have to start blocking it tonight when I get home.

 Today I wrote a story to my viejita (mom) about what that scarf represents to me, and besides all the content I wrote that I won’t share there is a part of it that I do want to share;

All the yarns over forming holes represent all the moments my mother needed me and I needed her and we were separated for thousand of miles, the bubbles represent happiness and each of it its full of happy memories!

Red is her favorite color and for me represents faith and strength. I choose a complicated pattern because it represents all the difficult moments that we went through with my dad and because we were all united and strong as a family he is doing better. I decided to make for her a scarf because when she’ll wear it will be close to her heart.

This is Me, a dreamer, a warrior and maybe this story might sound weird for you because you might have never associated your knitting with moments but remember that everything is related to everything.

I am going back home next week; I will be there for a month so if you don’t see me now you know why.

Hugs to you and thank you for stopping by and remember thing do get better.
