back from holidays!

Hi, friends! Here we are back from our summer vacation since last Monday. I´ve mentioned here that we were going to the South of Argentina with part of my family for a week. Well, it has been great! Almost everyone in my family loves fishing except me, ha, ha. But I love the places where they fish, so we went fishing almost everyday and I´ve walked on the woods, simply looking, hearing, smelling, breathing that fresh air and enjoying the fact of "existing". 

Now back to work, with no holiday interruptions for a while. I have so many new ideas for my shop, that I´m beggining to develop in these days. I´ve already had the classes to know well my new sewing machine, and it has been really worthy. 

Here you have some pics from our trip. And remember: If you want to go to a really beautiful place, the surrounding area of Bariloche will be really a great choice!

Hope you enjoy your weekend, and have a happy new week! 

xo!

31 Such a great sensation arriving Argentina, where I´ve born and almost all my family lives. I think that is the best advantage of living here in Chile: we are able to go there in our own car (and that was obviously imposible when we were living in Spain!). 

this week

Hi, everyone! This past week has been plenty of work because I made and shipped all orders placed during our trip to Spain for Christmas. It seems to me that Christmas has been six month ago instead of less than a month, don´t you feel the same? We´ll be on hollidays again next week, we are going to the south of Argentina, to spend a few days with part of my family. We just came back from Spain, but as we are in summer here in the South hemisphere, we will be away for a week :) So all orders placed during next week will be shipped when I come back. 

I ´ve had an order from a good friend, that has been the starting point to improve the bags for a better closing. This new edition of the bags will be added to the shop soon. During holidays, I´ll be thinking a bit about work taking advantage of the calm without having to sew... I need to organise my mind for the next collection I have in mind, which I have no time to create when I´m working on orders. 

About the new sewing machine, I´ll have the classes when I return. I asked in the store about that noise it makes all the time, and they told it is normal. Well, "normal" because the machine is new, luckily it will be silent with using! 

Well, Friends, hope you are having a great start for this year, see you soon!

Some pics from the studio this week. I´ve received the best belated Christmas greeting card ever, from one of my little nieces, Cata :-) Those kind of gifts you treasure for ever...

back to work!

1. My Cinnamon Waxed Canvas Bag have had really intensive use in these days during the trip, and it behaved really well.

2, 3, 4. Back in summer .... back at home ... back at work. 

Hi, Friends! We are finally back at home and ready to work after our holiday season. We´ve had great time in Spain! It has been hard coming back because we really love Spain and our friends and family there, but once we arrived home everything is OK! 

I´m happier than I expected being back here! And I just know that with a bit more of time I´ll really love Chile too, as I love Spain after living there for a while, and as I love Argentina where I lived till I got married. The hard thing is missing the people you know and love in other places, but is great having friends and family around the world too. 

Now we are back at work, with so many projects for this new year, and so much work to do, that is good! My first goal is to buy a new sewing machine. The one I have is good, but just so "domestic". I need an industrial one for being able to sew the designs I have in mind. It will help me to manage my time better and create things I can´t create now due to my tools limitations. 

Do you have many new years projects? I do, as every year! In these days I´ll be thinking about them and their priorities. 

I´ve said we are "finally back"... need to be said that is a way of saying ... because we are going on holidays (again!) during the last week of this month. We´ll go to Bariloche (Patagonia, Argentina) with part of my family, woo hoo! I LOVE that place! We were there in September, but it was late winter, and now it will be mid summer and it all will look so different. Is such a wonderful place. If you want to take a look, you can see the pictures I´ve posted here in this blog in September by clicking here. 

Hope you have a great week!! 

xoxo

ps: I´m finding harder to write in English after two weeks of vacation, thinking and speaking Spanish all the time... hope you´ll understand if I´m a bit "creative", and also hope I´ll get used again soon :-)

happy new year!

Hi, Dear Friends! Wishing you a Happy New Year!
