What's going on?

Away, I have been away from my blog, from my readers from my friends, but my heart and thoughts are always there thinking about you.
Today is a new day, my new home is being so cozy to us, we like it very much. I still have moving thing around and we have some decoration left to do. We had many friends over and already lots of good times at the new house.
Since we have only one office now, half of it it’s mine and the other half it’s my husband. It works out really well because he is so nice that let me do whatever I want with the décor. The only problem is that the room is a little small but you know what it’s really cute and we are happy.
Well we decided that it was time for us to go to visit the family and so we are going to Argentina in 12 days! I am really excited about this. My father really needs me this time, he just lost his brother and so he needs lot of TLC. My mom is so happy that she can’t wait to see us! Well and all the rest of the family is the same. We are going to be there for my husband’s grandmother 94th birthday!!!!!
I have been researching for places that sell beads and all that kind of stuff to buy and bring some items, because for summer time I like to activate my jewelry store and sometimes I find really unique beads.
I also started to crochet a blanket and it’s going really smooth and I love the colors that I have picked. I wanted to take it to Argentina to use it on the airplane, but I don’t know if I will, we are flying business class so I don’t think that this time is going to be necessary.

I am here just happy and not feeling really well (health problems), but I try to keep going and enjoy every minute of my life at the fullest.

Today it’s been 2 days without smoking, I am just so proud of myself. I promised my mother that I was going to quit and I promised myself this too long ago, I have not excuses, it’s time. I did open my eyes and I can believe how stupid I have been, why in the world will I kill myself if the only thing I want is to live long and happy? Well I don’t want to be stupid anymore; I don’t want to have any lung, heart, mouth, stomach, or arteries problems in the future. I don’t want to stink or have wrinkles and I don’t want to see my mother suffering because my addiction, this is enough. In the last past year one uncle was diagnosed with emphysema, another past way with lung cancer and one of my friends might have emphysema. So I don’t want to be next, I have the power to quit, I have the power to control my mind, and if I get stressed out I will carry hard candy to suck on them.
I feel relive! I have to convince my dad, my husband and my friend Cheli to quit now.

Helping other makes my heart smile

Thinking about my country and how poor some areas are made me realized that we need to help each other a little bit more. I felt like knitting for the kids in need in the area, but I couldn’t find any information whatsoever

I wrote to a newspaper that had published an article about El Impenetrable Chaco, I hope to hear from them with some kind of data.  Knowing that people in The Chaco are dieing from starvation, and nobody is doing anything makes me so so mad. Well I want to help in any way possible even if it's just a hat, even if it can help one person. Sometimes when you have so much you just don't appreciate the little things, sometimes you just forget.

In the mean while I came out with the idea of knitting for the Hat Box foundation; they give the hats to hospitals that take care of patients with cancer that are going to the quimo process and they are losing their hair. I want to do this one in memory of my dear aunty Elba, (she is my little angel de la guardia now), she was my mom’s sister and we lost her in 1994. Also I want to do it because I have a dear friend of my soul that fought against the evil illness and she won! And I am so proud of her, she is so strong and has such a nice and beautiful heart, she is my oldest best friend.

So I told my friend the fighter, her sister, my mother in law and me to go ahead and knit for charity,and we all are going to knit for these people. It’s going to be a project full of love, friendship and care that it's going to be stamp in our hearts for ever.

I also called the Prince William Hospital and they are in need of preemie’s hat. So I will start working on that too. Can you imagine little tiny babies being cold? I would love to take a bunch to the hospital, if you are interested in this project please email me or left me a comment about it; I would love to collect more and more hats for these poor babies. If you need a preemie baby hat pattern let me know I have a bunch.

Come on let’s help together. Let’s make 2010 a little warmer and friendly.

Nice Opportunities

Sometimes life gives you opportunities and you need to know how to take advantage of them. Sometimes we see them sometimes we don’t. Today I was surfing online and I went to see the Knit Picks site. I like their yarn; they have good quality for great prices. Today I found out that Knit Picks is offering an Independent Designer Partnership program, really cool.
I thought for a moment and I smile…mm I think this is a good opportunity, isn’t it? I told myself. So I looked through my handmade hat pictures and I pick two that I had made with their yarn. I hesitated for a moment, and I just did it; I sent Knit Picks and email showing them my work and telling them that I would love to be part of that wonderful program. I keep my fingers cross. I felt like a wonderful opportunity was right there in front of me and I had to take it. The thing is that almost all my work is made with their yarn. I love it, the price it’s great, and the quality is really good. We’ll see what happens.
I have to be honest, I feel like knitting again! So today I might start my husband’s hat. My hands are itching. …Needlessssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Year, New House!!!!!!!!

Well first of all Happy New Year!!!

I have been lost in my little tiny world, doing things and doing nothing. It seems to me that the weather makes me really lazy! I used to love wintertime but now I don’t know anymore, I am changing. I think I like warmer days, maybe summer! Wauu from winter to summer! Who knew!

My life has been very much crazy lately, in a good way though! We started looking to buy a house and we found one! Yes it will be my first own house, so can you imagine how exciting I am, right? My husband and I thought it was a good time to grow and invest in a home, our first home! So here we are packing what we're keeping and donating what we don’t want. We are sooo happy, we can’t believe that we were able to accomplish this dream. It feels great.

I have to say that everything in my sewing room has been packed away! !  So that’s why you won’t see any knew creations until maybe February. I only left out a ball of yarn and needles US7 to make a hat for my husband. That’s the only thing that he uses knitted by me, HATS. Which I like when he wears it and somebody said something about the hat and I can see his proud face saying “ oh my wife made it for me”, his eyes looking to meet mine and a smile comes out of his sweet face.

My new sewing room is going to be a little smaller that the one I have right now, but it has a beautiful window and lots of natural light. I don’t know if I am going to paint it yet, but I am already planning where to put my desk.

Well this is what’s going on in my tiny world at the moment.

OHHH I forgot to mention that I might go to Argentina on March or April. My parents don’t know yet, since I haven't buy the ticket yet I don't want to say anything until I am one hundred % sure.

I hope you have a great day and thank you for stopping by!

Grey but Happy

Today is a very grey day here in Woodbridge, but it's has been grey for 3 days now. It's funny because even though the weather is bad and the days are grey I feel happy and in peace.
I have been knitting for my Blythe doll this week, I had some customers asking me to start creating again so I did. But I need to be honest here and tell you that i love to knit for these dolls it's so much fun! You can make go your imagination so far and create cute little things!

I also finish my cardigan the one a started with this very thing yarn I will post pictures of it really soon.

I don't have much to say today I am going to enjoy my weekend and please if you want to come and check my work for miniatures you may do so visiting My Tiny World

Now lets leave the computer and lets go enjoy the day!

Sometimes love is real, this is one of them

When I called to my parent’s house today, my mom answered the phone; she told me that yesterday she had to come home rushing from work because my dad called her saying that he was not feeling well. She said that when she got home, she saw my dad alone and lonely.  As soon as my dad saw that she came for him he started to feel better. By dinnertime he was feeling even better.

My mom said that she thought and felt that my dad was feeling too lonely (my mom works long hours and because dad is diabetic he stays home all the time) so that was the main reason why he called her. She sat with him drink some tea, talked, and they both felt better.

Later on I called again to talked to him, and when I asked him how he was feeling he said, OK now. “And what happened yesterday dad?” I asked, he simply said “ mmm I had a stomach ache and and…I just missed your mother so much and I wanted her to come home, maaa que tanto. So I called her That’s OK right?” I said, of course it is OK.

What it really touches me the most it’s that they have been married for 33 years now, and they love each other as the first year of marriage. My mother is everything for my father, but I mean EVERYTHING, and my mom will do whatever it takes to take care of him, they can’t be apart.

While I’m writing this tears come from my eyes. I wish and hope my marriage will last so long and so full of love. Real love it’s hard to find these days, but this example feeds my soul and I love my husband so much that sometimes I surprise of how big love could be!

I just wanted to share a very important part of my life.

Love… all you need is love, la la la la!

Happy Birthday Dad!!!!

Today is November 3rd and it's my dad's Birthday!!! I wish I could be with him, but he is in Argentina and I'm here in the US. I have flown for his Birthday twice before! He loved it! But not this year, we are working on something else this time, and my dad is happy with it too! So I wish you the Birthday of you life, lots of happiness, love and even more lots of health!!!! Te Amo papi!


Well I have been knitting my cardigan! I finished knitting now, I only need to the neck part and put it all together! I was thinking about using my sewing machine to do that, any suggestions? I've never tried that before. So we'll see.

There is something I wanted to share with you guys, Sunday afternoon I felt like drinking soup, so I opened my fridge and I pulled all the vegetables that I could find.
This is what it came out with; I mixed butter squash, sweet potato, zucchini, and beats, chicken broth, some soup noodles and maizena! After they boiled and cooked I took it all the veggies put them on the blender and made them pure.
Wauu what a bloody soup! Perfect for Halloween week! It was red!!! Like blood! hahaha but delicious!
Because of its color and texture I decided to call it the Halloween bloody soup!
Please if you would like the recipe let me know it was DELICIOUS!
