Long time no see!! It's been a while since I posted and I hope you are all doing well. My stitching has continued and I have finished quite a few projects that I will show you a bit later. Today, I just wanted to show you some Stitch Wallets that I have made and are for sale. I will be posting new ones from time to time, so stay tunes. You can see pictures below of the outside and inside of the wallets. They measure 10x13 and are perfect to carry your stitching project. They cost $38 plus shipping. If you are interested, please contact me by clicking the Email Me button on the right side bar. I hope you like them!!!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hello stitching friends,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It has been such a long time since I've posted. The year 2012 didn't end very well for me, as a matter of fact, it was the worse year ever for me. My mom passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly in October and my world pretty much collapsed. A month after my mom's death, I had to put my sweet dog of 15 years to sleep. It has been a slow recovery for me, but thanks to God, family and friends, I am making it through, little by little.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stitching has really helped me keep my sanity and, I have tried to keep doing it. Below are some pictures of what I've been up to. I hope you enjoy them....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As part of Nicola's Scarlet Letter Challenge, I am stitching Dona Dorotea. It is a fun and easy stitch so far, but I am not looking forward to the satin stitches :-)<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #660000;">Hola amigas y amigos,</span></i><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><i><br /></i>
<i>Ha pasado una buena temporada desde la ultima vez que escribí algo en este blog. El año 2012 ha sido el peor de toda mi vida. My mama murió muy inesperadamente en Octubre y mi mundo se derrumbó por completo. Ni siquiera un més mas tarde de la muerte de mi madre, mi perra de 15 años tuvo que ser sacrificada. Me voy recuperando muy lentamente gracias al cariño de familiares, amigos y la misericordia de Dios, pero es un periodo de mi vida muy, muy difícil</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><i><br /></i>
<i>He seguido haciendo punto de cruz y la verdad es que es lo que más me mantiene distraida y sin pensar mucho en todo lo que ha pasado. A continuacion podeis ver algunas fotos de lo que he estado haciendo, espero que os gusten: </i></span></div>

On December 10th, 2012, I became a US Citizen. In a very nice ceremony, I took the Oath of Allegiance in the company of my husband Brent, our dear friend's Jeff and <a href="http://theneedlespromise.blogspot.com/search" target="_blank">Katrina</a> and about 70 other people from 27 different countries. It was a true honor and a very special moment for me. I now have dual citizenship: Spanish and US. To honor that, I stitched America The Beautiful by BBD. I personalized it with the date of my swearing in and changed the little US flag for a flag of Spain. I love it !!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #660000;">El 10 de Diciembre del 2012 obtuve la ciudadanía Americana en una ceremonia preciosa. En honor de este acontecimiento, he bordado un diseño llamado America The Beautiful, de Blackbird Designs... Lo he personalizado con la fecha de mi juramento como ciudadana Americana y he cambiado la bandera pequeñita de la Americana a la Española, ya que tengo doble ciudadanía. </span> </i></div>

I also finished The Shephard and The Shephardess, a design by <a href="http://examplardame.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Examplars From The Heart</a>. I love this design and what attracted me to it the most was the saying on it. I am looking forward to get it framed and hang it in my home. Not the best of pictures, but will have to do :-)<br />

My mom was a truly remarkable and beautiful woman and she is so missed. She touched so many people throughout her whole life. She was giving, generous, wise, stoic, brave and loving towards all. My life now has two parts, the years with her and the years after her death, and it will never be the same, but I find hope in the knowledge that I will see her in heaven again. </div>

My sweet Nala brought so much joy to our lives and she took a little piece of our heart with her as she went to sleep forever. I cannot say enough about the great dog she was. It is hard to be around the house without her and she is very much missed too. I am a bit jealous of her because I know she is now with my mom who loved her and whom she loved :-)</div>

<div>

<div>
Glad to be here again. It's been a while and I have been doing quite a lot of stitching. I'll show you below. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have had a great summer so far. I celebrated my birthday in July with my wonderful stitching friends up in the Colorado mountains and we had a great time. It is beautiful and peaceful up there... We locked ourselves in a mountain home and stitched and ate all weekend !!! Does it get any better than that?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today I am picking up my sister at the airport. She is visiting from Spain for two weeks and I am so excited. My nephew (her son) has been living with us in the States since December, so I know he is so happy his mom is coming over. Tomorrow we are all driving to Jackson Hole, WY for a few days. Looking forward to that !!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Those are the highlights of my summer :-) I've also been working on some new wallets and there are some pictures at the end of this blog. You can visit my <a href="http://www.stitching-4-joyshoppe.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Wallet Blog</a> also if you want to see them all. </div>
<div>

<div>
Remember my Spanish Mystery Sampler??? Here it is, in all its glory. I finally got it all framed and I am so happy with the frame I chose.</div>

I also framed My Handworke by <a href="http://plumstreetsamplers.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Plum Street Samplers</a>. This was my first try at cutting and assembling the frame and I think I did a decent work, but I need some improvement. I bought an already made frame at Hobby Lobby for $14 (50% discount), then I cut it to the size of the stitched piece and assembled it. My corners are not the best, but oh well, I think the frame is perfect for the piece and for $14 who can complain, right? What do you think?</div>

Another finish is Loureida Geiste 1830 from <a href="http://farmhousenotforgotten.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Notforgotten Farm</a>. I absolutely love this little piece and it has been so much fun to stitch. I did age it to give it that primitive look so typical of the Notforgotten Farm designs. I used the greatest aging method (tip from Paulette from Plum Street Samplers). It is James Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen. This is an acid free stamping pad used to create an aged look on papers, photos, cards, etc... I LOVE it !!!</div>

And here are some of my newest wallets. Go to my <a href="http://www.stitching-4-joyshoppe.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Wallet Blog</a> to see many more new ones, and let me know if you would like to have any of them :-). Also, keep in mind that I'll be on vacation all of next week, so it may be a couple of weeks before I can ship the wallets to you. </div>

<br />
Has it ever happened to you that you stitch and stitch but don't really have much to show for? Well, that is my case. I have been stitching, but I only have one finish to show you ! Please see the picture below and let me know if you like it. It is My Handworke by Plum Street Samplers. Such a pleasure to stitch...<br />

I am so excited about the next project I am starting. It is a design that I have always loved. The picture on the chart doesn't do it justice at all I think, but when I saw the conversion at The Attic, I knew I had to stitch it..., It is the Kingsford Sampler by Carriage House Samplings. I am stitching it on 40ct Vintage Pecan Butter with The Attic conversion to Au Ver A Soie. So excited about this one. I'll show you a bit of progress as soon as I start.</div>

I am so grateful that tax season is over !!! It is such a busy time and it really doesn't leave me much time to work on my stitch wallets. Now that all is quieter, I've been able to make some new stitch wallets. You can see them below :-) Let me know if you are interested in any of them...</div>

And last, but not least, I wanted to mention that I was, very graciously offered, the Liebster Blog Award by Betty from <a href="http://www.samplingsfromspringcreek.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Samplers From Spring Creek</a> as well as Jane from <a href="http://www.stithchinginmygarden.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Stitching In My Garden</a>. I was so touched by their thoughtfulness. The Liebster Blog Award is given to blogs with less than 200 followers and these are the rules (in case you care to know them :-)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. I must acknowledge the person(s) who gave me the award by posting a link to their blog (check !)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. I must post the award on my blog (check !)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. I must pass the award to other five bloggers, post links to their blogs and let them know they are the recipients by commenting on their blog (check !)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Share five random facts about myself (oh boy !) (check !)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Hello friends ! It has been a while but here I am (since Christmas. Yikes !) I don't have much to say, other than life is good and I can't complain. I have been busy with work and life in general, but I've still found some time for stitching. I have finally finished my Spanish Mystery Sampler by <a href="http://www.shakespearespeddler.com/" target="_blank">Shakespeare's Peddler</a> and I absolutely love it !!! I can't stop looking at it. I am getting ready to pin it and frame it. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I also have some new wallets that will be in my <a href="http://www.stitching-4-joyshoppe.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">wallet blog</a> very soon, and there are many more to come. Some pictures are below. Please enjoy the pictures and let me know what you think !!<br />

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">Hola amigas !! Ha pasado un tiempo desde que escribí algo en este blog (desde Navidad !!). No tengo mucho nuevo que contar. La vida sigue y yo no me puedo quejar. He estado ocupada con el trabajo, familia, etc, pero he encontrado un poquito de tiempo para hacer punto de cruz. He terminado mi Spanish Mystery Sampler de <a href="http://www.shakespearespeddler.com/" target="_blank">Shakespeare's Peddler</a>, y me encanta. Me queda enmarcarlo y encontrar un buen sitio en casa para colgarlo. Abajo podéis ver varias fotos del Sampler y de otras cositas que he estado haciendo.</span></i><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">In January I attended The Attic Symposium and it was lots of fun. I know many people have posted about it, so I won't bore you with all the details again, but I wanted to show you the cute pin cushion that Paulette from <a href="http://www.plumstreetsamplers.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Plum Street Samplers</a> designed for the class. Paulette is so very talented and I love this little guy and how it came out. I stained the fabric a bit with coffee (much to my friend Sherry's dismay :-).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

Paulette es una diseñadora encantadora y con mucho talento. </span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hello my friends !! It's been so long since I've posted something.... Life seems to spiral out of control around this time and it is hard to find the time to blog. I've continued to read your posts, though, so I feel I haven't lost touch with you. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Well, I should probably let the pictures do the talking, so keep looking and reading and I hope you enjoy !! It is good to be back :-)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">On the stitching front, I haven't done as much as I would have liked to, but I managed to finish the Christmas stocking for my sweet Madelyn. I've also finished a cute Lizzie Kate Christmas ABCs and another little design that I stitched for my neighbor whose last name is Yule, but that I never framed. Yikes !!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">Hola mis queridas amigas. Cuanto tiempo sin oír nada de mi. Parece que mi vida pasa muy deprisa y apenas tengo tiempo de escribir un nuevo articulo para mi blog. Lo bueno es que sigo leyendo vuestros blogs, asi que no pierdo contacto con vosotras. </span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;"><br />
</span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">Bueno, voy a dejar que las fotos hablen por si mismas, asi que seguid mirando y leyendo.

</span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">No he tenido mucho tiempo para hacer punto de cruz, pero de alguna manera me he apañado para terminar una media para Madelyn. También he terminado Christmas ABCs de Lizzie Kate y otro proyecto pequeñito que bordé para mi vecina que se apellida Yule, pero que no he enmarcado todavía !!</span></i></div><br />

<br />
Long time no see :-) I don't really have any excuses for my lack of posting, other than laziness. I really have not been in much of a blogging mood, but I certainly have been reading all of your blogs and admiring your beautiful work.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Well, it seems unbelievable that the summer is almost over by now. The highlight of my summer was our trip to Hawaii for a week. It was truly a blessing to have that time off and it couldn't have come at a better time. It was peaceful and relaxing. Breakfasts with an ocean view, days at the beach just reading and resting, lots of friends to catch up with, my niece's company and time with my dear husband. The highlight of my trip was swiming with the dolphins !!! Oh my gosh, what amazing creatures... I almost cried when my hour with them was up. So precious.... I can close my eyes and I am back in the water with them. So amazing, and something I'll never forget.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Well, I wish I had tons of new things to show you, but I don't, really. I have continued to work on my two wip's: I Sigh Not For Beauty and Spanish Mystery sampler, as I am determined to finish them before I start something new. But I've also found a little bit of time to work on a couple of little things. Below are some pictures:</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">This is a design by <a href="http://www.rovaris.it/">Rovaris</a> that I though was finished in such a clever way, isn't it?</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyxZ3be4ds4_Lrtl9MfIIPmkF4VjPy39RtFblXhtzqj4HZuvARsGf84xeqXiNTjvSmicYmylvEy_kr3RePmgHFvtRorSYIl1t-OidRppc02PeZmSpCbGT4Xienc1cu-pVkw9EmpHaq-kD7/s1600/IMG_1370.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyxZ3be4ds4_Lrtl9MfIIPmkF4VjPy39RtFblXhtzqj4HZuvARsGf84xeqXiNTjvSmicYmylvEy_kr3RePmgHFvtRorSYIl1t-OidRppc02PeZmSpCbGT4Xienc1cu-pVkw9EmpHaq-kD7/s640/IMG_1370.jpg" width="360" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is my progress so far. It is a very easy stitch and can be done almost anywhere and at any time. Cute !!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Another thing I've finished and I don't think I've shown you is the little Hornbook by CHS. I truly enjoyed this guy and I have the hornbook frame all ready for it. I just need to pin it and frame it. I did't use the colors it asks for because they were not very colorful and they all seemed to blend together in a too boring way, so I chose my own. It is stitched with NPS and I don't remember the color of the linen !!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here is my progress on the Spanish Mystery Sampler. I absolutely love this piece and I can't wait to finish it.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And here is my I Sigh Not For Beauty....I heard from Fran, the designer of I Sigh Not to let me know that the fabric I am using is not the one she actually chose for the sampler. So I think there was some mix up between me and the store where I ordered the fabric from. Oh well..... I am not going to let that bother me anymore because I really love the sampler. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I had to frog everything and stitch again.......over one !!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Has it really been over a month since I last posted??? Time seems to go by so fast. I have been stitching, but nothing new, really. I've tried to focus on my SAL for I Sigh Not For Beauty as well as the Spanish Mystery Sampler. Mind you, I have been acquiring new charts and fabrics for my stash non stop (you can see pictures below), but only stitching the two mentioned. Oh, and also working on a <a href="http://www.shepherdsbush.net/">Shepherd's Bush</a> Christmas stocking for a special little girl in my life.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So nothing new happening, other than the fact that I'll be going to Hawaii for a week in July. But that is not the best part, the best part is that my niece Marina is flying all the way from Spain to spend some time with us and she'll go to Hawaii too !!!!! I am so excited to have somebody from home come and visit. Marina likes to stitch too, so I can see us having some cold drink by some nice corner of the resort we are staying in just stitching and talking. And it even gets better, because my long time dream of swimming with dolphins is becoming true on Friday July 22nd !!!!!!! I am so excited I can hardly wait. I have always loved dolphins and since I was a little girl have wanted to jump in the water with them. What incredible animals they are.. It will be a great experience. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Well, enough of my dreams because you come over here to see some stitching, right? So you scroll down to see pictures and enjoy !!! If you don't think my work is that interesting, please jump over to <a href="http://theneedlespromise.blogspot.com/">Katrina</a> and <a href="http://bluehenhollow.blogspot.com/">Siobhan's</a> blogs to see the beautiful AotH all finished !!!! They both did such a beautiful job.<br />
<br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">Hola a todas !!!</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;"><br />
</span> </i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">Parece mentira que haya pasado mas de un mes desde la ultima vez que escribí algo en mi blog. He estado haciendo punto de cruz, pero nada nuevo. Me he dedicado al Sampler I Sigh Not for Beauty y también al Spanish Mystery Sampler. Por supuesto, he estado comprando nuevas telas y diseños (abajo podéis ver algunas fotos) y también estoy bordando una de las medias de <a href="http://www.shepherdsbush.net/">Shepherd's Bush</a> para una niñita muy especial en mi vida.</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;"><br />
</span> </i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">Otra cosa que os quería contar es que me voy de vacaciones a Hawaii en Julio, pero esa no es la mejor parte, la mejor parte es que mi sobrina Marina se va a venir con nosotros. Estoy muy ilusionada y feliz de que alguien de casa venga a visitarme finalmente !!! Ya nos veo a las dos en algún rincón de Hawaii bebiendonos algo fresco y haciendo punto de cruz. Y hay algo aun mejor.... mi sueño de nadar con los delfines se va a hacer realidad finalmente el 22 de julio !!!!! Me encantan los delfines y desde hace muchos años he querido nadar con ellos, y al fin lo voy a conseguir. Me hace muchísima ilusión. </span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;"><br />
</span> </i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">Bueno ya basta, que al fin y al cabo, me visitais para ver el punto de cruz, verdad? Abajo hay unas cuantas fotos de mi trabajo. </span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Below is my Spanish Mystery Sampler. I really LOVE IT !!! The more I stitch it the more I love it. Such a beautiful design.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">And this is my progress on I Sigh Not For Beauty. It is a nice stitch too, but I am still not loving the fabric at all and I wish I had chosen a different one. I used the one the chart calls for, but I really think the picture on the cover of the chart uses a different one because it is a much warmer color. I wonder why the chart asks for this one. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;">Y este es mi I Sign Not For Beauty. Es facil de bordar, pero no estoy muy enamorada de la tela y me arrepiento de no haber elegido otro color. </span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

It has been so much fun to find fabrics that complement each other and finish them as little project bags. I just wanted to show them to you and tell you that they are all for sale. I use Moda fabric on most of them (sell price is $28.00 plus shipping), and I also have a few that have been finished with authentic Vera Bradley fabric and a complementary fabric (the price for these are $38.00 plus shipping). If you want me to make you one with your own fabric, please let me know (the price then will be $18.00). The dimensions are 13w x 10h approximately. On my sidebar there is also a button with a link that has all the information on prices and how to contact me if you are interested. You can also click </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/57614218@N04/sets/72157625722653123/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">here</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> to find that information.

God has blessed us with good health, love, work, lots of stitching and plenty more. We have had some serious challenges also and it seems like uncertainty is always a part of our journey, but we can do everything with God by our side and, at the end of the year, we are all together and well. What else can I ask for?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I would say that the hardest part of 2010 was the passing away of my favorite aunt Carmen on Christmas day. She was 96 years old. She was a stoic woman with great integrity, hard worker and a lover of her family. She gave me some of the happiest moments of my childhood and for that I will always be grateful. Those memories will always stay with me. It is truly a bittersweet feeling as I know she had no quality of life in her final years and now she is in God's arms and whole again, but at the same time, I will miss her terribly and I feel like a big part of my life has ended with her. It is comforting to me to know that I will see her again in due time.</span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Hola amigas,</span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Feliz Año Nuevo !!! </span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">El año 2010 se ha portado bien conmigo y con los mios.

Mi tía tenia 96 años cuando murió. Siempre fue una mujer estoica y con gran integridad, trabajadora y dedicada a su familia. Ella me dio muchos de los mejores momentos de mi infancia y por eso siempre le estaré agradecida. Siempre llevare esos recuerdos conmigo. Su muerte trae un sentimiento dulce y amargo a la vez. Dulce porque a su edad, ella ya no tenia calidad de vida y ahora esta en los brazos de Dios sana y contenta; amargo porque la vamos a echar mucho de menos y siento que una gran etapa de mi vida termina con ella. Pero me conforta saber que la volveré a ver en un tiempo. </span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2vpZA2WMMnTGUcm6CAlFgxC_Z0oU03uxt6shZlPsJIxH0_YldeDEdqngSZzpklvcorumSDNuqebjuUKIbTMnPIcKy38ycnXUcnGYY3CfUfLivavRNVmzVr-xFKMMcSDCAzmEL_zte7etp/s1600/Tia+Carmen.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 201px; height: 245px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2vpZA2WMMnTGUcm6CAlFgxC_Z0oU03uxt6shZlPsJIxH0_YldeDEdqngSZzpklvcorumSDNuqebjuUKIbTMnPIcKy38ycnXUcnGYY3CfUfLivavRNVmzVr-xFKMMcSDCAzmEL_zte7etp/s400/Tia+Carmen.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557305063634886802" /></a><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Aunt Carmen (Tia Carmen)</span></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">June 1914 - Dec 2010</span></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">As for my stitching year, it was not as productive as I would have liked, but I really enjoyed every single project I worked on.

"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">It's been a while since my last post and I have been stitching as much as possible. I have finished some Christmas ornaments and also my Angel Band Sampler, although I have not framed it yet. I will show you the final result soon !!.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">(Peg, if you are reading this, I missed you on Wednesday at stitching night and I wish you had been there to see my beautiful sampler. I am so proud of it !! You and your husband are in my prayers and I hope to see you next month.)</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Christmas is such a special time for me. Every year, I start thinking about it way before the month of December... I get that cozy feeling thinking of snow, fireplace, the smell of spices, baking cookies, wrapping gifts, sending cards, and of course, time to cuddle up and stitch (hopefully while snow falls outside). I promise myself that this year it will be different. That I will read the story of Jesus' birth and focus on the true meaning of Christmas. But every year I fail miserably, does the same happen to all of you.? No matter how much planning I do, by the end of november, I get so stressed out about the many thing there are to do, that I even have shortness of breath, can you believe that???. Needless to say that all those thoughts that brought that cozy, warm, peaceful feeling turn into little devils nagging at me: I need to figure out what gifts to buy for whom, when to mail them, what's a good time to bake some cookies, oh gosh I am running out of time !! Maybe if I take a couple more days off work I'll be able to catch up. Oh my gosh, I have to send the packages to Spain so they make it there on time... How about the Christmas cards, I need to add that to my to do list so I don't forget, how about decorating the house.. oh well, maybe this year I can do just a little decorating, and that will save me some time, but no, I do like the house fully decorated.... and on and on and on.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">So tonight, as I write this, I am stopping this hectic pace and promising myself to re-focus. I will think of the true meaning of Christmas every day and I will thank God for sending his son to die for me. How amazing is that love and mercy? What am I without that? It is hard to grasp the huge meaning of what our Saviour did for us, and yet, we have to try. We owe that to Him, so that's what I commit to doing. Gifts, cards, decorations, even cookies :-) will take a second place this year and that's my promise. I hope you guys will be able to stop the frantic pace also and really enjoy this special time with your loved ones.</span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Oh yes !!!

My DH and I decided to leave the snow and cold weather of Colorado and fly to California to enjoy the sun, the ocean and most of all, my husband's grandchildren. But I've got to tell you, two toddlers can drain you of energy in about one hour !! How can these little people have so much energy ALL DAY LONG ??!!! We love them, though, and honestly, we don't see them enough, so this weekend with them is a very special treat.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I also wanted to show you a couple of things that I've finished.

It is big for a pin cushion, but I love it !! It is called Blue Tulips. The chart instructions ask for the fabric to be aged with a mixture of water, walnut crystals, clove, vanilla.... so it has a primitive look. I didn't stuff it completely in order to add to that primitive look :-). I don't think I did a very good job staining it, though. It is harder to do than it seems, and after trying, I believe it is all about the tool used to stain the fabric. I used a brush and I don't think that's the best way to do it, but I still haven't figured out what to use instead...maybe a sponge, a cloth or a different brush.... Any ideas?</span></div></span></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Hola queridas amigas.... Mi marido y yo hemos decidido dejar atrás la nieve y el frío de Colorado y viajar a California a disfrutar del sol, el mar y sobre todo, de los nietos de mi marido. Pero tengo que deciros que dos niños de tres y dos años son agotadores !!! ¿Como es posible que dos cositas tan pequeñas tengan tanta energía durante TODO EL DIA !!! A pesar de todo los adoramos y, para ser sincera, no los vemos muy a menudo, así que este fin de semana con ellos es un placer.</span></i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">También quería enseñaros unas cositas que he terminado.

Es bastante grande pero me encanta !! Se llama Blue Tulips. La tela ha sido envejecida con una mezcla de agua, nuez molida, vainilla, clavo.... Tampoco lo he rellenado del todo para contribuir a ese look primitivo. El proceso de envejecido es mas complicado de lo que parece y creo que no lo he hecho muy bien. Yo utilice una brocha para aplicar la mezcla y creo que voy a tener que encontrar otra herramienta, quizas una esponja o un trapo.

Well, having to make this decision, has caused me a great deal of stress and anxiety. There are a lot of things to consider in such a definitive move, but one of the things that really bothers me is leaving my stitching "world" which includes stitching friends, my Sampler Guild, stores, designers, retreats, classes....... you name it !!! I know you are thinking that, with Internet, there are no borders, really, and I agree, but there is nothing like hanging out with friends on a stitching weekend, or going to a LNS and touching the fabric and the threads, see the colors, look at new charts.... you know what I mean. (I really have a point to make, and all this rambling will make sense in a minute). Sooooo....., in all my anxiety and wanting to "stay connected" to my stitching world, I thought I would find a website that offers stitching classes on line that I could take all the way from Spain, and that's how I came to know The Victoria Sampler and its Cyberclasses. Now, I don't love all of the Victoria Sampler designs, but I just fell in love with this one, so, all excited and impressed with myself, I signed up for the class and decided to give it a try..... It was two days into stitching it that I started to ask myself if I had lost my mind !! I mean..... all those darn, fancy stitches !!!! You have your satin stitches, your chain stitches, your modified queen stitches, your foliage stitch (foliage stitch???)..... and to top it all....... the white daisies with their cute silk ribbon. Oh dear, I am going crazy !!! After this "fancy stitch adventure," I've decided I love </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><u>mindless</u> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">stitching, thank you very much !!!! I want to be able to sit in my favorite chair, watch a movie and stitch non-stop without having to </span><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">study </span></u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">and</span><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> analyze</span></u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> a chart !! Now, I'll finish this beautiful tea cozy, just because if I started it, I have to finish it, but I am not sure I'll get into all this specialty anymore. Then again, maybe this is like having a baby, after a while, you forget the pains of labor and do it all over again !!! LOL !! Below are some pictures of my progress. Let me know what you think :-)</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Ya sabeis que he mencionado antes que mi marido y yo estamos pensando en irnos a vivir a España el año que viene. Esta decision me ha causado mucho estres e indecision. Hay muchas cosas importantes que considerar cuando se toma una decision tan definitiva, y una de las cosas que de verdad me preocupa es dejar mi "mundo de punto de cruz" el cual incluye mis amigas, my asociacion de samplers, tiendas, diseñadoras, classes, fines de semana haciendo punto de cruz... TODO !! Ya se que con Internet estos dias no hay fronteras, pero no hay nada como pasar un fin de semana con amigas haciendo punto de cruz, o ir a una tienda y tocar el lino y los hilos, y ver los colores... vosotras me entendeis, ¿verdad? Pues con toda esta preocupacion, decidi que una buena manera the seguir "conectada" a este mundo seria encontrar una pagina web que diera clases por internet, y asi es como llegue a conocer The Victoria Sampler y sus Cyberclases. No soy una fan de todos los diseños de The Victoria Sampler, y de hecho, hay muy pocos que me gusten, pero, tan pronto como vi este, me enamore, asi que decidida y armada de valor me apunte a la clase. Pues despues de dos dias de bordar y bordar, me empece a preguntar si habia perdido la cabeza. Madre mia !!! todos esos puntos de bordado especiales me estan volviendo loca !!!! Despues de intentar bordar este Sampler, he decidido que me gusta hacer punto de cruz sin tener que estudiar y analizar el chart.

Below is my progress on one of the Little House Needleworks Christmas ornaments. I have lost count of them all, so I don't know which one this is. Anyway, I really love the colors of Weeks Dye Works linen, but I am finding that I don't like to stitch on it at all because my stitches look horrible, and I can't quite figure out why. I think it is too soft and my stitches look loose and uneven. I am quite puzzled by this, so if any of you know a trick or know what I am doing wrong, please let me know. This is stitched in straw and it is more golden than the picture shows. I am bummed out because I bought a big piece of 40ct in the same color that I was planning on using to stitch BBD mystery sampler, but now, I am not sure if I'll use this linen.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Abajo podeis ver el ornamento de Navidad de Little House Needlework.

I haven't had this much fun in a long time !! I absolutely loved it and I'm all bummed that it is over. It was hard to go back to work on Monday. The girls from Shepherd's Bush did a wonderful job, my goodness, a lot of work goes into organizing this retreat. We were over 170 women, all obsessed with new releases, limited editions, classes, shopping, eating.... you name it ! I got to hang out with the greatest people: Katrina, Karin, Valerie and Sara. Katrina, is the one that pretty much saved my life everyday... </span><a href="http://theneedlespromise.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Katrina</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> is the organizer, planner, save seats for everybody, stand in line early so we can get great goodies, person. She is the one that guided me and explained things to me over and over again every time I fell behind, which was most the time !!! LOL. Being a newbie at this, the retreat was a bit overwhelming for me at times.... so much information to absorb. Well, Katrina was always there for me. </span><a href="http://astitchingexpatlife.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Karin</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> was our official driver and did a wonderful job at it !! Thank you, Karin !!. She was also the one that kept us centered, focused and relaxed. It was such a pleasure to finally meet her after hearing so many great things about her from Katrina. I think she is wise and experienced in life and I love her accent !! There is a calm about her that I certainly appreciate. She is a fast stitcher too and could just tune us out when our chatter became too much. LOL !! I look forward to staying in touch with her through blogging and to seeing her again soon. </span><a href="http://fogcitydweller.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Valerie</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> is sweet and quiet and she would just let me talk, talk and talk about everything with amazing grace. I truly enjoyed meeting her and hope to see her again soon. I know we'll stay in touch through our blogs also. Valerie, we didn't get to speak much spanish though !! We'll have to do better next time :-). Wonderful Sara was the one that convinced me of the fact that stitching on 32ct is just fine versus my obsession with 40 ct :-). I think Sara was the one that most often needed a break from our excitement and hyperactivity, so that she could recharge and come back to us with renewed energy. I can't blame you, Sara !! She is a classy lady and I enjoyed sitting next to her in my classes. I also met some other wonderful ladies and got to see sweet Donna again, whom I had met during the Mediterranean Cruise I did in June. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Queridas amigas, ya estoy de vuelta en casa después de pasar un fin de semana maravilloso en Park City, Utah, donde fui al Retreat de Shepherd's Bush. Creo que este ha sido uno de los fines de semana mas divertidos de mi vida. Ay, lo que me costo volver al trabajo el Lunes. Las chicas de Shepherd's Bush hicieron un trabajo maravilloso organizando este Retreat. Madre mia el trabajo que esto conlleva !! Eramos un total de mas de 170 mujeres, todas obsesionadas con nuevos productos, ediciones limitadas, clases, compras, comida.... de todo !!! Para mi fue un placer pasar este fin de semana con mis amigas Katrina, Karin, Valerie y Sara. </span><a href="http://theneedlespromise.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Katrina</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> fue la organizadora de todas las actividades durante el fin de semana; ella era la encargada de que llegáramos a tiempo a las clases, también era la que estaba en la cola antes que nadie para que no nos perdiéramos ninguno de los nuevos productos. Ella era la que me guiaba y me explicaba todas las cosas que no entendía, que fueron muchas !! :-) </span><a href="http://astitchingexpatlife.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Karin</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> era nuestro chofer oficial. Ella nos llevaba y nos traía. Una chica estupenda muy relajada y muy sabia.

Espero verla pronto otra vez. Sara también es una señora estupenda y de vez en cuando necesitaba alejarse de nosotros (que no parábamos de hablar) para recargar las pilas. También tuve ocasión de ver a mi amiga Donna, a quien conocí durante el crucero por el Mediterraneo en Junio. </span></i></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Georgia"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Park City is almost as beautiful as Colorado this time of year.

I have always been a big admirer of their work and, after attending their class, I can tell you that I am crazy about them :-). Just to hear their stories, how they work together, how they come up with the designs... Just so interesting and fun. I can now really see a lot of their personality behind their designs. Below is the picture of the project they designed for their class. It is a little stitching tray, isn't it adorable? It comes together with a little pin cushion. I am stitching it right now and can't wait to finish it. During their class, we also learned to make cute pin needles with beads.

Ahora puedo ver su personalidad reflejada en sus diseños. Abajo podéis ver la foto del diseño para la clase. Es una bandejita con un bordado de punto de cruz. Me encanta !! La estoy bordando ahora mismo y estoy impaciente por terminarla.

Aren't you all glad that tomorrow is a holiday? I love long weekends. I am always able to relax a lot more and, of course, I have lots more time to dedicate to my cross stitching. I have been working like crazy on my Angel Band Sampler and I thought I would show you my progress. I have finished the two first parts and I have a third left before I complete the satin stitches and finish it. It is a fun little sampler and I love the contrast in colors. I changed the blue that it asked for originally and chose a darker blue that shows better. I like the change and can't wait to finish it. This will be the first sampler I've stitched, so I am very excited about it. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Hola queridas amigas, Feliz Domingo !!! Mañana es fiesta aquí en Estados Unidos y yo estoy tan contenta. Me encantan los fines de semana largos. Me relajo muchísimo y puedo dedicar todo el domingo a hacer lo que mas me gusta: punto de cruz. He estado bordando mi Angel Band Sampler como una loca y quiero enseñaros lo avanzado que lo llevo.

He cambiado el color azul por uno un poco mas oscuro, ya que el original que llevaba casi no se veía.

Summer is always busy with so many different outdoor activities. I love them, but they seriously cut into my stitching time. Golf is being a big part of my summer. It has always been a terribly frustrating game for me, but it seems like this year is the one I break through and, at least, I can hit that little, darn ball with some consistency, much to my husband's delight.</div><div><br /></div><div>Below is a Blackbird design that I stitched quite a while ago, but never framed. It was put in a plastic bin and it's been there until now. A few days ago, I stretched it and ordered a frame on line for it. I love the end result, don't you? The color of the fabric shows better in the first picture than in the second. I love the frame also. It is always a bit tricky to buy frames over the internet, but it is so much cheaper than having a local store frame for me. Guys, I am all for supporting local stores, but some expenses I just can't justify...</div><div><br /></div><div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Hola queridas amigas, ha pasado bastante tiempo desde mi ultimo comentario, y es que he estado bastante ocupada. Siempre hay tantas cosas que hacer durante el verano y me encantan estas actividades, pero me quitan mucho tiempo para hacer punto de cruz !! Golf ha sido una parte bastante importante de mi verano. Siempre ha sido un deporte que me ha frustrado tremendamente, pero parece que este año he mejorado mucho, y al menos, soy capaz de darle a la dichosa pelotita con consistencia. Mi marido esta contentísimo.... Ay, lo que tiene que hacer una para mantener al marido contento :-)</span></i></div><div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><br /></span></i></div><div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Aqui tenéis una foto de un diseño de Blackbird Designs que tenia bordado hace bastante tiempo, pero que no enmarque. Lo guarde en una caja y no lo había tocado hasta ahora, así que lo desenterré, pedí un marco por internet y lo enmarque. Me encanta como ha quedado, ¿y a vosotros? El marco también me gusta. Siempre es un poco arriesgado pedir marcos por internet, pero los precios son mucho mas baratos que en la tienda. Yo soy muy partidaria de apoyar a las tiendas locales, pero hay ciertos gastos que no puedo justificar...</span></i></div><div><br /></div><div> </div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdSc26ogXIOw79mJC6In7yRhUCmwQmMLfZWI9DpVvX8hXiAFY1amknupa-IuxHBtPjVSIEX2ZcZJEplKT3SMkS8aCFezlUNGgAEyiFh_8FafM5sfR321g_O3lTNeV92LrDN5sO-dLk0pAb/s1600/IMG_0806.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdSc26ogXIOw79mJC6In7yRhUCmwQmMLfZWI9DpVvX8hXiAFY1amknupa-IuxHBtPjVSIEX2ZcZJEplKT3SMkS8aCFezlUNGgAEyiFh_8FafM5sfR321g_O3lTNeV92LrDN5sO-dLk0pAb/s400/IMG_0806.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507195224124850274" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT-y-p1Cfr8RAgPruSMy447fzbmaQi7DacQGCeLaXzw8JdSzktuh2dHVjr2Ohaj7Hgrb4Xr-5494u2JU5cfZDuj4J78IuAyxs6y2U2ZXWWj9J8XmE-_0kUDl4zFOO1_woBfi-8s38yUze6/s1600/IMG_0801.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT-y-p1Cfr8RAgPruSMy447fzbmaQi7DacQGCeLaXzw8JdSzktuh2dHVjr2Ohaj7Hgrb4Xr-5494u2JU5cfZDuj4J78IuAyxs6y2U2ZXWWj9J8XmE-_0kUDl4zFOO1_woBfi-8s38yUze6/s400/IMG_0801.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507195214748526818" /></a><br /><div>My second finish is one of Bent Creek's snappers. This was also stitched a bit ago and was put away in the plastic bin with the BBD model above!!! LOL !! So I decided to frame it also. Now I just need to find a place to hang them both. My home is not very big and on the walls I have mostly art that my mom did for me, so not much room left to hang my stitching (that's why I don't frame my work too often !)</div><div><br /></div><div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Mi segundo bordado es un diseño de Bent Creek que se llama Snapper's Village. Este diseño también lo termine hace bastante tiempo, pero no lo había enmarcado. También estaba guardado en la caja con el otro de Blackbird Designs !!! :-) Ahora tengo que ver donde los cuelgo. Mi casa no es muy grande y en las paredes tengo muchas cosas hechas por mi madre, así que no tengo mucho sitio para mi punto de cruz (por eso no enmarco muchas cosas !)</span></i></div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCoYOI1-t5HTYYi9eNKMrBv2s4ZG3qWWxpYwQv3G4oUrZjhBFb5Pnvx7-9YpS4Z_CvcKSSYQskCAoh1dNdvET_KAxrToXzP6sBT3Oh-A-dDMOGJ2vZbuzOXUgb-ETcMljpv2nzqPoTkB3O/s1600/IMG_0795.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCoYOI1-t5HTYYi9eNKMrBv2s4ZG3qWWxpYwQv3G4oUrZjhBFb5Pnvx7-9YpS4Z_CvcKSSYQskCAoh1dNdvET_KAxrToXzP6sBT3Oh-A-dDMOGJ2vZbuzOXUgb-ETcMljpv2nzqPoTkB3O/s400/IMG_0795.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507195204093000194" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM13gTiIKv9xMChvahRzkJlZOXBLXuwvgQQRPi3niHG3vK1vWAmb3GH86yYZ-vKY6OTkWAkSDV_lofgZCf4oK7CZ9SwgWeYIBIJDI4ztQPilqI_RKncAKfxVO0LcjgcOusUW-3NmJHQyv4/s1600/IMG_0797.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM13gTiIKv9xMChvahRzkJlZOXBLXuwvgQQRPi3niHG3vK1vWAmb3GH86yYZ-vKY6OTkWAkSDV_lofgZCf4oK7CZ9SwgWeYIBIJDI4ztQPilqI_RKncAKfxVO0LcjgcOusUW-3NmJHQyv4/s400/IMG_0797.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507195197145828274" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxvF-uOka6ntHOE5gvvveJu0y4E56fdOjMRNMT6H7YHBEDeBYsVhM66mqTVv7AszaRRpOZ8wGBAP_dsmnFA9AvxCVpgg9sZhsEJBCTzFONdPQQ8ehEJJoQPc0RoqtQ38LnrFwhq8nPBjyE/s1600/IMG_0796.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxvF-uOka6ntHOE5gvvveJu0y4E56fdOjMRNMT6H7YHBEDeBYsVhM66mqTVv7AszaRRpOZ8wGBAP_dsmnFA9AvxCVpgg9sZhsEJBCTzFONdPQQ8ehEJJoQPc0RoqtQ38LnrFwhq8nPBjyE/s400/IMG_0796.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507195188947481010" /></a><br /></div><div>I hope you are enjoying what's left of the summer.

Un tiempo precioso para hacer senderismo. </span></i></div><div><br /></div><div>Enjoy your weekend and.... happy stitching !!!</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><i>Espero que paseis un muy buen fin de semana con mucho tiempo libre para relajaros y, por su puesto, hacer mucho punto de cruz. :-)</i></span></div><div><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/211/A0E9725F88401143E78DA46E8FD8B934.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a> <a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/211/4F00F900BC3002B70105360455772437.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a></div>Nataliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02353719241017717972noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6862360346223227076.post-16749831762553142272010-07-24T11:47:00.026-06:002010-07-25T10:05:43.179-06:00One day in the life of Nala and Rio<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Hello my dear fellow stitchers.... I hope your weekend has started very well and you are all enjoying, wherever you are. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog, I love it when you do. To my followers, I just have to tell you that I am so grateful and humbled that so many of you would be interested and my comings and goings. It really means a lot to me. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">My fellow blogger </span><a href="http://seasonsofmymind.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Parsley</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> asked me to post something in my blog about my doggies, and I thought that was a great idea. They certainly deserve it !!! They are the sweetest, most faithful companions and they are such a huge part of my life. Both of them are pure bred Scottish Golden Retrievers (also known as White Goldens), you will notice that they are very blond (not red) and smaller than the American Golden Retriever. So here we go..... This is one day in the life of Nala and Rio</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Hola mis queridas amigas bordadoras, espero que vuestro fin de semana haya empezado bien, donde quiera que estéis.

Desde luego mis perros se lo merecen !! Son lo mas dulce y fiel que os podais imaginar. Son Golden Retrievers Escoceses de pura raza, tienen el pelo muy blanco (en vez de rojo) y son mas pequeños que el Golden Retriever Americano.

Nala has had quite an interesting life: she has lived in three different countries (Germany, Spain and USA), she has hiked the German Alps, swam in the beaches of Spain and hiked the Rocky Mountains. She has been my life and the two of us have gone through some very happy and very hard times together. When we first met Nala, she was so skittish she wouldn't even let us touch her and it took a while for her to get used to us... Now she is such a big part of our family and so special to me. I just don't know what I'll ever do without her.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Esta es Nala, my dulce abuelita (tiene casi 13 años y medio). Nala ha tenido una vida muy interesante: ha vivido en tres países distintos (Alemania, España y EEUU), ha caminado por los Alpes alemanes, se ha bañado en las playas de España y ha caminado por las montañas rocosas de Colorado. Nala es mi vida y las dos hemos pasado momentos muy felices y muy tristes, pero siempre juntas. Cuando la vimos la primera vez, Nala era tan tímida que ni siquiera nos dejaba tocarla. Tardo un tiempo a acostumbrarse a nosotros pero, una vez lo hizo, se convirtió en una parte fundamental de nuestra familia. Es tan especial y no me imagino lo que voy a hacer sin ella. </span></i></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWce03Gu6F-i77PZ8xEZN0cBmwaDIVugI-lGVUoxauyUWjKkUS0KVbXG04KhjtGaU8ODTelYTPVLsQuCIMXJpT0BhGqO1LpFSmrjIoM5VnfwkZ2j2Ow-pAnWSyOzz-5YD5Bex8DG3-U84x/s1600/IMG_0013.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWce03Gu6F-i77PZ8xEZN0cBmwaDIVugI-lGVUoxauyUWjKkUS0KVbXG04KhjtGaU8ODTelYTPVLsQuCIMXJpT0BhGqO1LpFSmrjIoM5VnfwkZ2j2Ow-pAnWSyOzz-5YD5Bex8DG3-U84x/s400/IMG_0013.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497537268160838018" /></a><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">And here is Rio. Rio was supposed to go to a family in Texas, but when they changed their mind, guess where he ended up. Well, he is a true gift from God. The most loving, affectionate, faithful, giving dog. He is always there for us, close to us wherever we are or wherever we go. He probably gets up and lies down fifty times a day just because he follows us everywhere.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The only thing that he may love more than us is his tennis ball... :-) He has true Golden Retriever instincts, whereas Nala is a true Golden </span><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">non</span></u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">-Retriever. </span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Y aqui esta Rio.

Siempre esta con nosotros donde quiera que estemos y donde quiera que vayamos. Yo creo que se levanta y se acuesta cincuenta veces al día, porque donde vayamos nosotros tiene que ir el. Quizá solo hay una cosa a la que quiere mas que a nosotros y es su pelota de tenis :-) Tiene mucho instinto de Golden Retriever y no como Nala que es un Golden no-Retriever.</span></i></span></div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu3fRE87z5Na3iVY3I9fuUZiduRRN-iCif3c5HKeeAk_HEmo4G2wqzaaCDBdzLp2pK3uLgDkLVqQaqwuogUtl1eYmchyyLTJ6DmSjD9XnRr6yf1KPa2Cx63AKO_AtxXr-j2WKH7xlUy9it/s1600/IMG_0667.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu3fRE87z5Na3iVY3I9fuUZiduRRN-iCif3c5HKeeAk_HEmo4G2wqzaaCDBdzLp2pK3uLgDkLVqQaqwuogUtl1eYmchyyLTJ6DmSjD9XnRr6yf1KPa2Cx63AKO_AtxXr-j2WKH7xlUy9it/s400/IMG_0667.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497537071597542194" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Rio and Nala's morning starts with food.

I hope you had a great weekend. I am turning 44 today (where did time go??? It seems like I was 18 yesterday !!!) and it has been a nice weekend. Yesterday, I had dinner with my sweet husband and today I had brunch with dear friends whom I had not see in a year. I enjoyed catching up, but why is it that we celebrate everything around food??? Food is comforting to me :-) Tomorrow I start being good again and eating healthy.... Now, my time to stitch starts.... Happy stitching to all of you !! </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:medium;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><br /></span></i></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:medium;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Pues esto es todo por hoy. Espero que hayais pasado un buen fin de semana. Yo cumplo 44 años hoy (como es posible si ayer mismo tenia 18??) y mi fin de semana ha sido muy bueno. Ayer salí a cenar con mi marido y hoy he desayunado con amigos a los que no veía hace un año. Me ha encantado hablar con ellos y saber como les va todo. Porque lo celebramos todo comiendo, me pregunto??? Creo que la comida es reconfortante para mi y es por eso :-) Mañana ya tengo que portarme bien otra vez y empezar a comer con careo. Bueno...... ahora empieza mi tiempo para bordar :-) Un abrazo a todas. </span></i></span></div><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/211/A0E9725F88401143E78DA46E8FD8B934.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a> <a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/211/4F00F900BC3002B70105360455772437.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a></div>Nataliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02353719241017717972noreply@blogger.com5
