Si todavía te encuentras resistiéndote a tejer, tal vez éste post te abra un poco más la mente. El tejido del crochet permaneció por muchos años debajo de la luz pública por que sus patrones, puntos y productos parecían sacados de cuentos de abuelita. No sé cómo pasó o qué fue exactamente lo que motivó el renacimiento del crochet, pero ahora está en todas partes. Tejer crochet se ha convertido en

You can find the Spanish post here. It's been ages since I posted, but I took some pictures last Tejercito meeting and wanted to share them with you. It's unbelievable what has been achieved by the loyal Tejercito girls in Guadalajara. :) (and by those in Monterrey who gladly keep on without the meetings, thank you girls!) I'm so in love with the project and some true good friendships have grown

If the title alone didn't explain the idea, then read this post. Yup. A clever girl in Toronto crochets, and decided to give a sex-sexy twist to her crochets. She decided to crochet boobs and penises as little amigurumi projects to (guess what) help teach people on how to explore themselves so they can detect (and prevent) cancer. Clever, right? :) I just found these today and find them really

:D Heya! Lately, I've been busy crocheting for a dear friend of mine organizing a very creative xmas bazaar. So, here are some of my crocheted things you'll be seeing at her shop. You can also order directly to me :) Some of these crochets would truly make a great seasonal gift! Whaddayathink!

Ok, so I'm kinda back. A little ashamed to take this long to write a new entry, but belive me, thanks to God and internet courses, my little photography business has been kicking and living and gets me bee-busy all day long, so well... Sorry! :) (that may be the reason why not so many people read this blog -- just thinking out loud!) So, this past weekend I decided to give myself a little treat

I miss crochet! But I promise I will post some of the things I've been doing :D yeeeah, meanwhile a recipe: Something quick and Beto-Friendly but also Veggie friendly. (But if you don't even eat flour, this may not be for you!):) -A cup of pasta (very thin - noodle-like) - 2 red tomatoes - half an onion - salt - a slice of garlic -  half a glass of water - oil - 1 1/2 cup of chopped celery

Ayer fue nuestra 4 reunión en Guadalajara. Asaltamos con estambres, agujas, ganchos y tablas el 22CAFÉ22 de la calle Libertad. :) Disfrutamos de las canoas, los veintidós, la plática sobre telenovelas (las 3 Marías de Thalía incluídas) y la nueva adhesión de nuestro primer fan. :) Quien amablemente nos patrocinó toda la comida, GRACIAS TOÑO @YosoyTono!

Aunque normalmente no escribiría sobre mi novio en este blog, dedicaré una pequeña introducción sobre Beto para que conozcan los pormenores y la razón de algunos posts que se avecinan en el futuro próximo. Beto y yo llevamos de novios 3 años y medio y 1 año y medio viviendo bajo el mismo techo. En este tiempo que me he dedicado a trabajar desde casa, me toca la ardua y hermosa tarea de cocinarle

If it's up to me to decide whether I prefer sweet or salty for breakfast, it will always be sweet for me. (I always think that morning is the best time to eat sweets, because you'll eventually burn calories throughout the day, rather than eating sweets at night and letting your body save up fats for the next Glacial Age) So, I woke up today with the urge to cook. I always have cereal and

¿Recuerdan el proyecto de Tejército del cual les escribí hace varios posts? Bueno, lo había tenido en el olvido una vez más, hasta que viendo un episodio de "The Secret Millionaire" de la BBC se me prendió el foco y tuve la idea de irme cada miércoles a sentar en algún café tapatío con un cártel que dijera "TEJO POR UNA CAUSA, ÚNETE!" Y así invitar a más personas a unirse al tejido. También,

One of my favorite words in French is "pluie" which means "rain". I love how it is pronounced (ploo-eee) with that last "ee" almost whistling in the wind. AND I also love the rain. But since everything in large quantities is bad, so is the rain. :( It is a shame that  in some parts of Mexico, rain has brought disgrace, thirst and destruction. It is almost unbelievable how something that brings so

I just found another girl-crush. I made myself a sandwich and half a bag of salted chips with tons of sauces I adore and decided to dedicate my rainy Thursday afternoon to watching crap TV because my boyfriend is busy today and cannot boss the control like he uses to. So, I turn on the TV and find this gorgeous British lady that cooks heavenly recipes and is somewhat of the woman I'd love to be

Taking just a little advantage and getting on the global wave of the Southafrican World Cup, I'm cheering all the way for Mexico and with all of my heart I hope we can make it to the late and last stages of the cup. :) So, since we're facing tomorrow one of our most challenging matches, I wanted to include some of my favorite Mexican crafts and write about what I know about these crafts.

I'm feeling so blocked-on-posts lately that I decided to post some of my latest FAVS on Etsy to get things going in my mind. Good news is that rain season has just begun in Guadalajara, which means more crochet-time for me without actually melting in front of a fan! :) --- Me siento tan bloqueada últimamente sobre qué escribir que decidí postear mis últimos favoritos de Etsy para empezar a mover

One of my guiltiest pleasures is crap TV. I'm sorry but I absolutely adore reality shows and find myself submerged in the world of fake reality anytime I have the chance. Yesterday, the show that caught my eye twice the same day was some past season of America's Next Top Model. I have this fascination with the photoshoots they produce on the show. Yesterday it was Mike Rosenthal's chance to put

Some friends of mine are having babies real soon! :) So, I decided to photograph some of them AND to make them a small but significative present I could definitely afford: baby shoes!

Last 30th April was "Children's Day" in Mexico. It is a special occasion in which scholars leave school early, but also a special occasion to remember who you were as a child, what was it that you love, and how you saw the world. Out of pure nostalgia i typed several things on Etsy that I adored as a child, and made my own list of things I'd adore now if I still had 5-8 years. :) As you may see,

The Rikrak Studio opened up a submission to receive stories on handmade mother or granny stories and why where they so meaningful to you and to explain a little on what was the object of your affection..

Several days ago somebody asked me if I had given up crocheting, like wanting to know if I had given up on it already, and although I was kinda forgetting how to crochet and projects I had in mind, I decided to step out of the closet of crochet-forgetfulness and give it a go again. Hace algunos días, alguien me preguntó si ya había dejado por la paz la crocheteada, como queriendo saber si -como
