I just love to knit!!!

I had a great weekend! I got the chance to used my gift certificate for Tranquality Spa ( hubby got this for Christmas)!! It was so so nice!! I had a really nice and relaxing time. I needed it.
I also worked on two hats that my sister's friend order for hertwo girls. One had to be purple and the other one had to be baby blue.
I finally finished them on Sunday, and give her to my friend that same day. We all gat together in my friend Cici's house for super ball, had a great time.

Purple hat for one of the girls!



I made this brooch to go with it.












This one is the baby blue hat



I also made a brooch for this hat as well.





I just love to knit, but I discovered that I don't like to knit under preassure.
I think that my next proyect is going to be an Amigurumi for my mom!! She loves them and I haven't made one for her yet.

Pattern: my own
Yarn: Bernat
Color: Baby pink
Needles: US 4.

The same yarn, needles and stitch were used for the hat.

What a nice weekend I just had! I did everything that I wanted to do. I think I love Saturdays and I don’t like at all Sundays, if you ask me way I would say because I don’t like football! Hehehe. But it’s not only for that it’s just that Sunday’s are boring. I have to admit that since I started creating and knitting things, it’s gotten a lot better. This weekend we had people over and I made some pizzas they were delicious! I was so proud of myself; it’s nice the feeling when you cook and everybody likes it! Sunday I went to my husband job for brunch and ate way too much, but it was so good! Then after that we went to my friends’ house and drink some mate (Argentina’s national drink) with cake.
When I got home after that I felt in a great mood to create and it was there when I made some lovely Valentine's Day gifts for my shop!





By request I can make the Heart Brooch in different colors just email me or ask me, and I show you the colors that I have.
I just thought that made a really cute gift for someone you love!
for sale at my shop
I also was inspired enough to make a nice hand knit Hat, super warm it covers your ears perfectly. I made this hat with Argentinian yarn, half wood half acrylic. It's very soft. The flower brooch on the hat is totally removable, so you can use it in the perfect occasion.

Well I have to go to keep creating now!
I just want to say Try to be as happy as you can, and try to laugh everyday a little bit more!
(and just in case you're wondering? yes the one in the picture is me!))

Violet the mischievous little rabbit!

I would like to present you my latest creation on Amigurumis,
her name is Violet, she is a mischievous little rabbit who loves Spring time. Vilolet goes crazy when she sees a butterfly, she likes to play with them and just be happy.
Violet was handmade by me, I crocheted her body and long ears, and I made her face with fleece. If you are interested on her please visit my Etsy shop. I would like her to be adopted by somebody who would care about her.She will only bring joy on your life.
I do not recommend her for little kids because of her nose and eyes.
Violet says Hi Everybody!
For sell at my shop

So far so good!

I hope that everybody has started the New Year with lots of happiness!!
I had a great new years’ Eve. We went to my best friend party, She and her husband made a fun 80’ party! It was great, we had bunch of fun. My husband had to dress me because I had no clue about the 80’ fashion; well I’ve born in 1979 so I was pretty young in the 80’. My hubby lovess the 80’ he knows everything about it! Incredible.

Well as I might have said before I made lot of cute little presents for my girlfriends. I love to make stuff for other people. One of my friends was so exited about the gift I was thrilled.
I made a purple hat for Rona, with a nice flower as a pin, I also made a hat and scarf for Amy and a cream hat for Alexis, and finally for my best friend I made a Tote bag for her books (she is a teacher).
I was so happy they loved them!! It’s so nice to see the reaction on people’s faces when they open a gift that you have made. When I saw Rona’s expression on her face I was speechless, she said “ Oh my gosh, yess! And it’s purple!! And she had this big smile on her face!So far I only have like 2 pictures od the gifts, I'm going to publish the other ones later. The pictures don't look good because the lack of light, they were taken like 3:00am at the party, so I can't expect much. I wish I would have taken the picuters before wrapping them. They look so much better in person believe me.

I have to say that the most difficult present that I have ever made was my hubby’s scarf and hat(pictures are coming soon), well the hat wasn’t difficult, but the scarf oh boy! I finished it ON January 5th just on time for Los Reyes magos; it’s a holiday that we celebrate in my hometown. You are suppose to live your shoes and a boll with water and some grass for the camels under the Christmas tree and next morning the water and grass will be gone and on your shoes you are going to find a nice present something that you wanted. Well my hubby loved his gift. I was so so happy that all my effort and time were appreciated by a big smile on his face and huge hug! I love my hubby with my whole heart!
I have some picture to show but I’m shy, hehehe, so I still thinking about publish them or not? Well what that h… I will do it.

And finally I would like to say that I love my life and I really happy to share it!

TIPS TO START NEW YEAR WITH POSITIVE ENERGY!!!


TIPS TO START NEW YEAR WITH POSITIVE ENERGY.

I always thought that starting a new year with positive spirit and energy brings lot of good augury. There are some people that received new years on bed or they don’t even wait for it. I am the kind of person that really needs to be ready and happy to receive a new year. So I have decided to share with you some tips that are fun to do and they make me feel happy.
Tips for receiving New Year 2008
# As soon as you wake up on the 31st tried to clean your aura (I know that a lot of people don’t believe in it, but I do) do it with love, thinking that you are taking away of your body all the negative energy, if you are ill think about your illness and while you clean your aura try to think that you are taking away the illness away from your body. Just focus on living good feelings and positive energy. Your mind state should be strong positive and in peace.
# Think about yourself for a minute, no matter how you look, love yourself. The idea is to feel strong from the inside out, so in that way all left is positive thoughts and positive energy.
#Clean out your house, make it smell good.
#Sweep or vacuum from the inside out, always finishing on the door, like sweeping everything out.
#Take out all the clutter. Clutter is not good for your home, especially in your bedroom. It keeps all the bad energy and it doesn’t let you move on. (That’s what I think).
Change your sheets, so you can actually received New Year on a clean full of positive energy bed!
#Make your bed.
#When you finish all that, your house it’s going to feel lighter and more welcoming, now what you are really feeling is taking care of yourself, so
#Take a nice shower, feel the water coming down, massage your leg, scrub your back and feet. Clean your body starting up like with your head and then going all the way down to your feet, think that the water is taking away from you all that negative energy. Take a deep breath and let go all the negative thoughts, all the things that bother you or those problems that worry you the most, just let go and relax. This is your time.
#Look in the mirror and tell yourself that this New Year everything is going to be ok, and give yourself a big smile.
#Be proud of what you are.
#Get pretty
#Wear something new (it doesn’t matter what it is)
#You are full of positive energy now; good energy is sparkling from your fingers now.
#New year’s Eve: pick a cup o a glass that is not really expensive to make the toast at 12AM. When you are doing that think joyfully and enjoy all the family and friends around you, if your family is in another country just think of them, and your heart would be really happy.
#When you finished try to go outside always taking your glass or cup (the one that you’ve used to toast), with nobody following you, take a deep breath think of three wishes (important ones) take a sip and trough the cup away with all your strength. Feel great about it. Go inside and enjoy the party!

I do these because I believe in it. I believe that good energy is contagious, I think that we have to laugh a lot because is good for your soul, laugh about yourself. Laughing 20 minutes a day make your life longer!!
I hope you really enjoy this tips, and I wish you a really happy new year with lots of peace, health, love and happiness!!!

LOVE
Sabrina.

If you like my tips please let me know, I would love to see that somebody in the world actually read them.

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas everybody!!! better late than never right? I hope you had a wonderful Christmas day!
I know that I've disappeared for quite a long time, I have not excuses. My Christmas was wonderful; we had a really good time. My husband made me lots of nice presents; he really knew what I wanted.
I got a memory foam pillow (I’ve wanted this pillow forever,
I have to say that is so good and comfortable, if you have neck or back problem this pillow make all the pain go away, unless in my case. He also got for me a gift certificate for Tranquility Spa! (MMMM I can wait to go! a pizza roller for cutting the pizza (see I make pizza almost every weekend, he loves my pizza, and when the cutting time comes I used to say that I needed one, so here it is!)
My hubby really surprised me when I opened one of the last presents and it was a gift certificate for Old Town Manassas Needle Crafts Shop, saying that I can buy all the yarn that I wanted!!! He is a sweetheart, my sweetheart. It was so funny because he said " My intention was to pick and buy some yarn for you, but when I saw all the different kinds I didn't know what to choose!" he is so so sweet, just the fact that he went over there and thought of me and tried to pick some yarn for me that is just to sweet. Don't you think? I like the fact that he really knows what I'm into, what I like to do. And you should see the cute card that he got for me! It's so funny and cute at the same time.
I'm just 100% happy at his side.

I also want to say that yesterday I finally finished my green vest!!! Yay!! I'm so proud of it; it came out just the way that I wanted. I'm going to take some pictures soon.

Since my friends my husband and me are exchanging Christmas presents on New Year's Eve I am finishing up lots of presents that I made for my friends. I made hats, scarfs, one big tote bag, and little sachet bags to put the presents in. I hope they like it.

Well I think I'm going to let myself go back to work.
I'll be uploading the pictures really soon.

"FOR MY BE"
I love my husband with all my heart!
We have been together for almost 6 years, and I still feeling butterflies on my belly when I'm with him!
