on vacation

Hello!! 
I don´t know if you saw that my shop is on vacation until late September. We will be going and comming visiting family and receiving visits here so I won´t be able to manage my shop during this time. If I find some free time, maybe I can take the chance to think and plan everything I want to do for my little business in the upcomming time, as I have so many different ideas and need to think about them before deciding in which direction I should go. Of course I will continue making bags, the "new" ideas are related mostly to the materials and process. 
And these past days have been pretty crazy in the studio, finishing some new bags for the fall season, the new zip totes I will (finally!!) add to my shop when I reopen, and also rushing with orders and so much stuff. I realise that I really love what I do, despite I´m so really tired sometimes, I really really like it and I´m so thankful because I have the chance to work in something I love that much. 
Well, I better say good bye until the next post! Here you can see some pics of these past busy days in the studio. 
xo! 

Saturday escape

Hi, everyone! Hope your week is going well :-) 
Life is being so normal here so we don´t have anything really new to tell you, but I wanted to share with you some pics from our escape to Zapallar last Saturday. I´ve realised that we are almost always going to the same place for our "just one day" escapes, so it´s time to try other places as we are close to make a year living here :-) The only matter is that Zapallar is really a nice place and quite close, like two hours driving or a little less. 
In the pictures you can see some of the amazing nature there, and there is also one of the advice of "risk of Tsunami" uuuhhh, scary! As Chile is a land with frequent earthquakes, you can see those announcements almost all along the coast. In other of the pictures you will see that      I´ve taken with me the first 100% leather bag I made, wich I´m testing with my own use before making more and offering them in the shop (by the way, I´m really loving it!). 
Well, friends, hope you have a great start of August! 
See you soon, hopefully with some pics of the so many new bags I´m working in. 
Xo!

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!

some studio shots

 Hello, dear all! Weather has been kind of crazy during the past week, as we had rainy really dark days and also some sunny bright ones when we almost believe we were in the middle of the spring intead of beggining the winter. My studio doesn´t seem the same place and changes so much depending on the light outside...in the pictures above you have some spots from my workspace, and what I see if I take a look outside de window. 
Well, friends, hope you have a good start for this new week! See you soon :-)

after the rain

 

Hello, dear all! 

We can finally say that the winter is here, and that we´ve had a real rain! We were hoping the rain would clean the air some, and yesterday, it really did so. Today the mountains have shown us all their beauty, so full of snow and clearly seen from the city. 

This past month I´ve been working on many new items, and some custom orders, and also searching for new materials and tools. I´ve found a new kind of leather that I´m loving and can´t wait to try, lets see if I have the chance soon! 

In the pictures above you can see some views I´ve taken today on a short  trip just enjoying the views, some of the new items in the shop, and a bit of home life. I finally added more aprons in the shop, and still have some waiting to be photographed and published.

Well, Friends, hope you are enjoying the change of the season to summer in the North, or winter here in the South. See you soon!

sunday picnic

Hi Friends!! 
How was your weekend? Here it has been plenty of stuff and we have enjoyed it. We have gone with friends for a picnic on Sunday and it has been great. We all wanted to enjoy the outdoors (and being outside of the City) before the winter begin here... there is already a little bit of snow up in the mountains, but soon it will be pretty full of snow everywhere there, so we won´t be able to go during the winter (not for a picnic at least!). 
Hope you have a great new week! 
Xo!

happy May!!

Hello, Friends!! It´s been a while since my last post! 
April has gone and I can´t believe it. It´s been a busy month, and so good for my shop, I´m so thankful for that. I was really busy at the begining of April with some new products I wanted to add to the shop, but I´ve had to park all that on corner because of many orders that I had to make first. I hope I´ll can finish the new stuff during this month and they will be available in the shop soon.  I´m saying good bye little by little to the fabrics I have from when I lived in Spain, they are going to be sold out in some more time. So, I´m thinking and searching for new materials here in Chile, and I have a messy mix of ideas in my mind right now. 
Hope you´ve had a good April and you will have a great May! See you soon, have a nice weekend!
