puntititos, puntadas, deditos pinchados

paula: no hay dia en que no te recuerde.  la verdad es que te siento mucho muchisimo mas cerca mio ahora que nunca. escucho tu voz clarita, veo tus manos, te siento.
este bordado del elefantito lo hice especialmente para ti porque amabas los elefantes.  como no amarlos si conversan con sus orejotas y son tan sensibles ante la muerte.
terminado el bordado mis deditos muy averiados pero valio la pena.
y no soy la unica, vean solo una pequena muestra de lo que hacen otras boradoras por el mundo
y miren esta hermosura de kay lou en inglaterra

aunque tengo que dejar descansar mis dedos unos dias para que se recuperen, ya tengo la proxima idea a bordar tambien bastante intrinca y con mucho punto.  hasta entonces......

algunos cambios

decidi enmarcar mis costuritas en un marco tri-dimensional con una puerta de vidrio por lo que le he ido agregando mas detalles, quitandole otros y haciendole un borde con puras flores de vidrio.

more stitches





no tengo mucho que contar; la vida sigue mas o menos igual, sigue su ritmo natural, las rutinas, la ocasional sorpresa, la visita, la llamada, el timbrazo, las idas al super, cocinar, limpiar la casa, conversar con amigos, la gran pelicula, la cara de un perrito asomada a una ventana, un sollozo seguido por una gran carcajada, pero dentro de la rutina....mis momentos sagrados de meditacion creativa.

unfinished business



in my house there is always an ongoing project, always some sewing or crochet or knitting or applique or embroidery that is in progress or simply an inspiration for things to come.  some just linger there in limbo, some end up in the trash, some are later upcycled, but when i put them all together today on a clothesline they looked so reflective of me and my funky world.  can you tell what my favorite color is?

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.
