vacation in Spain

Hello, dear all! 
These past month have been real vacation for us, and we went to Spain to visit family and friends. We really enjoyed being there! We´ve been in Andalusie, specially Seville, Jerez de la Frontera, and some little towns in Cadiz, wanting to stay since te first minute we arrived. But the same happens to me everytime I go to Argentina, and now we are back in Chile and we feel at home too :-) 
Here I share with you some pics I´ve taken during a couple of days we spent in the beach in Andalusie, one in Zahora, and the other one in Chipiona. Hope you enjoy, those are wonderful places... and we used to go there SO often while living in Seville. 
Hope to be able to share more pics soon, meanwhile, hope you are well!

Buenos Aires and the river

Hello, all! I'm popping in just to say hi :-) and hope you are having a good ending of your summer / winter! Well, and, to share with you some pictures I've made during these 12 days I've been in Buenos Aires visiting my family. We have had great time before, during and after my youngest sister´s wedding, and many good family moments that will last on our memories. The one who got married is the youngest as I said. We are eight siblings and I'm the oldest, so I have been feeling kind of "I'm getting old" :-) Those thoughts like "I can perfectly remember her on her diapers and now she is getting married" have been SO really present, he he. 

Something I can say I miss from Buenos Aires (not talking about family and Friends) is the river. We have there the widest river in the world, the "Río de la Plata" that we share with Uruguay on the other shore. I really love that river and despite the cities where I have lived after had rivers, they were so small and I always felt they had not river at all. I think that´s just because on the other side there is just more city, and in Buenos Aires you can´t see the other shore unless you are on a high building by the riverside. So you can feel that on the other side of the river there is "nothing", or stand by the shore thinking that on the other side is the whole world far away waiting to be discovered, and that you are literally in your corner of the world. I remember how funny it was when my husband and some Spanish friends came the first time to BA, they could not avoid talking about "the sea" instead of the river as is really really huge.
Here you have some pics I've made during some walks by the riverside. Obviously the smell of the grass and the water, the silence just hearing the breeze and the soft waves, the soft wind in your face... are things that won't show in the pics, but hope you can imagine :-)
Good bye until the next post! 

Pictures until here were taken in different moments and days in the north sorroundings of the city, where my family lives. The pics below where made in the city, in Puerto Madero. That is a district in Buenos Aires close to downtown that has been recycled some years ago. There it was the old port, that had been abandoned so many years. The new proyect recycled some buildings (mostly the ones with red bricks) and included so many new ones. Something curious about this place is that every street is named after a women. My nephew and niece were really amazed with two old ships we visited, the "Corbeta Uruguay" and "Fragata Sarmiento". 

another month is gone!

Hi, there! I can´t believe how the months fly away, and that we are almost at the end of July, wow! This past month has been plenty of stuff, so many different things have happened. I´ve been working normally until the last week of June, when I´ve gone to Buenos Aires to be there with my family by my birthday, and for the Baptism of my nephew (and godson!). It´s been so good, because since we went to live to Spain we have never been there for my birthday. And...the candles were 40 this year, ops! But, don´t worry, nothing happened, ha ha! Despite my siblings say I´m "in the oven" (an argentinean way for saying that you are almost over, ha ha) no crisis has arrived yet and I´m feeling just great. And, my birthday has been on winter time again instead of in the Spanish summer. I´ve really enjoyed those days in Buenos Aires so much...Ah! and it was our anniversary too, and I´ve been sick for ten days, wow, so many things this month!
Now back to normal rithm of work, and I´m ready to reopen my shop again on Monday. 
In the pics below you can see a bit from work here in the studio before my trip, then some shots of daily living at Buenos Aires, and a few spots from a walk around there. Above you can see a zip tote I´ve made as a gift for my mom´s birthday and I really like!
Hope you have a great weekend! 
xo!

merry Christmas!

Hi, dearest Friends! Hope you all have had a Merry Christmas! In addition to saying "Merry Christmas", I wanted to thank you for being there supporting my work. I can work today in what I like the most, because you are there, so ... big thanks to you all!
