One done... Two to go
I like the contrast of the binding dark with the light fabrics. Me gusta el contraste de la oilla con las telas claras.

Talking Crosstitch
This is my recipe notebook that I still use everyday. I love this design the feeling of an old kitchen.
Este es el forro de mi recetario que uso todos los dias, me encanta el diseno de esta antigua cocina.This girl was the last cross stitch project I did more than 10 years ago, It was indented to be one of my journals but it ended as my notebook for my genealogy research. I use it quite often too. Esta linda nina fue el ultimo projecto de punto de cruz que hice hace ya mas de 10 anos . Al principio iba a ser el forro de uno de mis diarios per termino siendo el forro para mi libro de notas de genialogia, tambien lo uso amenudo.And finally this is the new attempt to cross stitch, Yes I signed up for the SAL and I have to say I was out of shape, or I am just too slow? anyway. This is something I can do at nights when my busy angels are asleep.
Finalmente este es mi nuevo projecto de punto de cruz, me apunte al SAl y aqui estoy. Teno que confesar que andaba muy fuera de forma para bordar el punto de cruz o sera que soy muy lenta? en fin Esto es algo que si puedo hacer dirante las noches cuando mis angelitas estan durmiendo.
Happy stitching

I wonder...
A few days ago I asked DH to watch the girls while I took a shower. When I got out this is what I found (pictures above). All the detergent out and a little girl playing. She has put detergent on the dryer before, but not like this, it was a MESS.
Hace algunos dia le pedi a mi esposo que cuidara a las ninas en lo que me duchaba, cuando sali me encontre con la sorpresita de arriba. Todo el detergente regado por todos lados y mi manitas Grace jugando con el. Ya un par de veces me habia puesto el detergente en la secadora pero no comoeste desastre.
And days later she saw me doing my makeup, next thing I know I found her like this picture, all pretty with "makeup" from her markers. This is just the things I have caught and have pictures of it but I now know why I cannot get things done around here.
Y dias despues Grace me vio maquillandome y decidio tratar de ponerse ella misma con sus marcadores. Estas son algunas de las cosas que me mantienen lejos de mi maquina de coser almenos son alunas en las que he podido tomar evidencia con mi camara. Almenos ahora ya me di cuanta porque no puedo terminar nada.
For those that can... Happy stitching!
Por todas aquellas que si pueden... Feliz bordado!

New Year's Resolutions
1. Make my mom's quilt. I don't know if I have said that I offer my mom to make her a quilt when Grace was born (yeah 18 months ago) and the only thing I have done decides buying the fabric and the pattern is to take the fabric out of the bag (that was two months ago). Before you think what's the matter with me let me tell you that she chose a "Grandmother's Fan" design and every quilt shop I go they look at me like "are you crazy?" or they say "It is quite difficult" and I am kind of intimidated about that mostly because it will be a king size quilt. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
2. Quilt my very first quilt. It took me 2 years to piece it and I do not want to take another 2 to quilted (even though I finished last year). so I think I need to started soon. For this quilt I want to hand quilt it. and it is a Queen size.
3. Do more table runners and wall hangers! I just love them.
4. Finally make me some clothes I want ( I have the fabric and the patterns) I just need the time LOL.
5. Eat healthier.
6. Spend more time with my girls.
7. Better organize my sewing area.
8. Learn Photoshop and Illustrator.
9. Go back to my yoga (I haven't done it for so long).
10. Make some Tutorials with my sister and Orginize a SAL.
I probably have more, but for now this is it. I hope you all have a great year
5. Comer mas saludable.
6. Pasar mas tiempo con mis hijas.
7. Organizar mi area de trabajo mejor.
8. Aprender mejor Photoshop and Illustrator.
9. Retomar mis clases de Yoga que buena falta me hace y que tiene mucho que no hago.
10. hacer algunos tutoriales con mi hermana y organizar un SAL
Probablemente me faltan muchas mas cosas pero por ahora es todo.
Happy 2009
