knitting winters, my mom´s new shop!

Hello!! 
Just wanted to share with you my Mom´s new Etsy shop, just opened with the new year. She has always been a great knitter, and dreamed about having a small business to share her creations with the world. But, with 8 children and 12 grandchildren she never really found the moment... you can imagine how busy she was at home! Now that we are not kids any longer, she decided to go ahead with her entrepreneurship, woo-hoo! I´ve helped her a bit, but just with the boring and non creative part of Internet and that stuff. 
All her items are designed and handknitted by her in Buenos Aires, or wherever she goes with her materials and non stopping hands. She uses only 100% acrilic yarn, to make sure that her hats are machine washable (welcome to the modern life, knits!), and also good for alergic or wool sensitive people. 
Don´t miss to explore her shop on Etsy, called knittingwinters here. You will find the most beautiful handknitted beanies in the whole world :)
Here you have some pics as an advance!
Thanks for reading, hope you have a great weekend!

ps: the model in the pics is my "little" sister, and those pics were made by her husband. I´ve made the other pics, and the lady knitting is obviously my Mom, called María as me. Then a couple of pics from my parents home, where you can se yarn, needles and hats everywhere as a normal thing. 

warm gifts

Hi, Folks! I wanted to share with you this selection of warm gifts I´ve found on Etsy and I would like to have and also to give. Don´t you want to make a warm gift for somebody you love?  You can find here some for woman, and some for kids. If you are a knitter, you can find also some knitting patterns and a tote for you to carry your knits. Enjoy! 
Hope you have a great weekend :-)
XO!

a little up date

Hi Friends!! Happy Monday and new week! Hope you´ve had a great weekend. Last week has been pretty busy here, sewing and more sewing! I´m making new items for the shop that hope I´ll be listing soon, and also sewing some orders to be shipped. I have many new ideas for new bags... I would like to add some backpacks to the shop and also some smaller bags. 
My sewing machine is behaving well, but is making some strange noises :( I think I´m forcing it a bit...too much work for a tiny machine...may be after Christmas I can invest in another one bigger and sturdier. 
Here you can see a few snaps from work last week and a bit more just around here.  
Have a nice week! xo!
