night and day, bright and cheery garland


hemos tenido una de las semanas mas hermosas que yo recuerde en california.  pleno octubre y aun soleado y con temperaturas veraniegas. por lo que yo, amante de los colores y lo alegre, sigo arriba, volada, volando.



 casi siempre creo en las tardes e incluso de noche, casi siempre en mi pieza viendo alguna pelicula antigua. anoche me dio por sacar misaltos de telas y coser una guirnalda para celebrar este milagro de otono. unas cuantas horas y presto, estaba lista. 

y ahi, al despertar, estaba para darme los buenos dias.
abro las cortinas y el milagro continua,
otro dia de sol
me da por irme a la marina a comer mariscos con mi gordin a cuestas
pero a la tarde ya encontre mi proximo proyecto en la ultima revista de somerset life

going boho




loved making these.  trends change and i see a modern, sixties feel coming into craft magazines and books.  well, the whole concept of handmade and homespun has always been around but the sfifties and sixties were my early years and i got alot of visuals from them.  if you visit my home, you will clealry see i have an eclectic taste, but one thing is certain, there are a lot, i mean A LOT of handmade items all over the house, most of them created by myself.  i think i have always liked "the homemade home", beginning with the actual structures (tree houses, for example), continuing with the garden and then all inside.  i feel houses feel more like homes that way, not so manicured, a bit dysfunctional as we humans are, and, ultimately, more real.  so i have begun to practice the handmade more and more as i compost, crochet my own lap blanket, sew my own christmas ornaments, make my own cards, write personalized letters and even hum my own tunes.  hope you like them.
