My first scarfette!

I‘ve been teaching myself how to crochet for a few months now. I got some books and watched some videos online that helped me with basic stitches, which I’m still working on. I haven’t done anything too fancy, but I’ve had so much fun learning. I usually take the yarn with me to school so I can crochet on my way there and back. Like I mentioned before, I’m working on opening a little shop, perhaps this fall and maybe by then, I’ll have a more polished collection.

Did you know that crochet is a french word that means “hook”?

For now, I’m sticking to basic stitches and feeling comfortable with those, making as much as I can using the basics. Maybe in a couple of months I’ll post a sneak peek of a few things I’ve made. So far, this is my favorite. I love the yarn, colors and softness. This is for a friend, hope she enjoys. I got the inspiration from this scarf, I loved the natural look, so I used some yarn I had and bought some wooden buttons and double crocheted my way through the whole scarf :) Do you think these would sell?

I’m curious to know how well I did. I’d like to have it inspected…any volunteers?

Well, I’m off to making more!

Last time we visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium, we only had time for 30 minutes and we spent it mesmerizing the sea horses. This time, our main objective was to stop in Monterey to be at the aquarium all day and immerse our selves with sea creatures. After our Hearst Castle tour, we drove to [...]

After our visit with cousins Eric and Sierra, we headed to the spectacular Hearst Castle in San Simeon. Ryan has been talking about this place for a really long time and I got excited about it after seeing the 1941 movie Citizen Kane. It is a CA historic landmark and state park, donated by the [...]

San Luis Obispo is a beautiful place by the ocean, with hills topped with ice plants, eucalyptus trees and lots of sand and fog. We headed to the area to see our cousins and stay the night, thank you guys for having us over! We really enjoyed the time we spent with you and Savannah. [...]

For our 1 year wedding anniversary, we decided to celebrate it this past week doing a road trip to Southern California, where we have family and friends along the coast. It was perfect timing for us, as the main reason for the trip was to see my brother who came from Nicaragua to play for [...]

The Summer semester has come to an end, and I’m REALLY happy about it. Now we can have some fun and RELAX!…at least for another 2 weeks. Yay for us! It’s nice to not have any deadlines for a little while. I’m very happy we both did really good this past semester too. It was [...]

My Passion

August 9, 2010
my-passion

My passion is to make things. Stuff. Anything. Sewing, painting, drawing, gluing, paper crafts, recycled crafts, crocheting, collaging, photography, whatever. I always crave to make new things. So what? well, the problem is that because I like too many things, it’s hard to stick to one and get really really good at it, sometimes even, [...]

Chicken Stir Fry

chicken-stir-fry

Maybe you’ve noticed I’ve been doing lots of stir fry lately. That’s due to the fact that I don’t like to throw away food, so I end up making these dishes to avoid that and I end up using whatever’s about to go bad to save it. In this case, we had cabbage, which I’ve [...]

The Fugitive Flower

Runaway rose

One of our last assignments in our photography class was to take a conceptual photo using the title “The Fugitive Flower” for the inspiration. You’d think it would be easy since conceptual pretty much is anything goes. But NOPE. The most pondering I’ve done for this class so far was for this assignment. I finally [...]

Family Reunion

I regret not getting together before with my family. I have a few relatives close by and for some reason, I never made time to plan something and see them. It’s been years…10, 15, 20? Something like that, perhaps. It was a treat. It was great catching up and seeing everyone’s faces after so many [...]

ojos de brujo techari

Yesterday’s assignment was to re-create a CD album cover of anyone we wanted to. This was soooo hard! I kept thinking I wanted to do something really simple, but in the end I complicated myself was usual. I chose Ojos de Brujo. A wonderfully deliciously talented Spanish group that has a very interesting and eclectic [...]
