Un abrazo cariñoso a todas mis amigas y amigos amantes de la costura, manualidades, creatividad, arte manual.

Ustedes y yo tenemos muchas cosas en común, y estoy segura que de lo que hoy les voy hablar me van a entender bien.
¿Les ha pasado queridos amigos que están poseídos por la costura y no quieren que los molesten para nada?

A warm hug to all my friends who love sewing, crafts, creativity and handmade art.

You and I have many things in common, and I am sure you will understand what I am going to talk about today.
Has it ever happened to you, dear friends, that you are possessed by sewing and don't want to be bothered at all?

Pues a mí me ha pasado no una sino muchísimas veces, ¡OMG! Si mi familia supiera que cuando dicen mi nombre me provocan un soponcio, de verdad, Lo pensarían dos veces antes de hacerlo.

Este fin de semana quise envolverme entre mis telas, quise acariciar mi máquina de coser y anhelaba deslizar mis dedos por su riel. Las tijeras me gritaban que las tomara, las telas me decían ¡Ven, córtame! ¡Conviérteme en una pieza hermosa!

Well, it has happened to me not once but many, many times, OMG! If my family knew that when they say my name they give me a heart attack, really, they would think twice before doing it.

This weekend I wanted to wrap myself in my fabrics, I wanted to caress my sewing machine and I longed to slide my fingers along its rail. The scissors were screaming at me to take them, the fabrics were telling me Come, cut me! Make me into a beautiful piece!

¡Pero adivinen que! ¡Los objetivos trazados no fueron logrados!

But guess what, the goals we set were not achieved!

La mujer que cose, es una guerrera con sus manos y artista con el corazón.

The woman who sews is a warrior with her hands and an artist with her heart.

"She threads the spit.
She measures and traces with the chalk a bird on the fabric.
Her eye crosses the eye of the needle.
And she ties the wind to the spool.
Then she cuts. Then she binds. Then she glues.
Then cuts. Then binds. Then glues.
The scissors is a girl's dance on the ice.
The scissors is a hungry reptile running across the plain.
Then it cuts. Then it joins. Then it sticks.
Her pedal Singer paces the canvas with tight lips.
His Singer moans at the top of his lungs his work.
His Singer groans at the top of his lungs the desire for a coat.
Then he cuts. Then he joins. Then she glues.
She knows the stitch that carries the seam of dreams.
She knows how to mend the soul when it is wounded by the barbs of the afternoon.
Then she cuts. Then she joins. Then she glues.
She stitches winks and demureness.
She sews silence and words.
She stitches the rim of a sigh.
She sews the buttonholes of a secret.
She sews the armholes that adjust a hand to the skin.
Then she cuts. Then she joins. Then she glues."

Mi familia se enfocó en necesitarme, en dejar que yo hiciera todo, se fueron a pasear y me toco cocinar para mi esposo, nadie lavo, nadie tendió la ropa, nadie limpio, mejor dicho, este fin de semana respire profundo, deje todo en manos de Dios y estire el tiempo lo más que pude para poderles presentar algo hoy.

Definitivamente aquí es donde este poema que hoy les presento en mi publicación me hace sentir como una guerrera, una súper heroína que saca fuerzas de donde no tiene para salir adelante y sentirme bien.

My family focused on needing me, on letting me do everything, they went for a walk and I had to cook for my husband, nobody washed, nobody did the laundry, nobody cleaned, better said, this weekend I took a deep breath, I left everything in God's hands and I stretched the time as much as I could to be able to present something today.

Definitely here is where this poem that I present to you today in my publication makes me feel like a warrior, a super heroine who gets strength from where she has no strength to get ahead and feel good.

Me gustó mucho el poema, en verdad describe a detalle cómo nos volvemos un solo cuerpo con la máquina, las agujas, los hilos. Así que con mucho cariño se lo dedico a cada una de ustedes que pasan por lo mismo, que tienen niños pequeños y deben hacer solas todo en casa. Que trabajan en la calle y llega hacer tareas con sus hijos y aun así les queda tiempo para hacer manualidades ya sea para la venta o para tener su casa bonita.

¡Ay mi familia! ¡Cuánto los quiero! Pero me gustaría ponerles un cartel enorme en la puerta que diga: “Peligro, Costura en proceso”

I liked the poem very much, it really describes in detail how we become one body with the machine, the needles, the threads. So with much affection I dedicate it to each one of you who go through the same thing, who have small children and must do everything alone at home. You work on the street and have to do chores with your children and still have time to make crafts either to sell or to have a nice home.

Oh my family, how much I love you!But I would like to put a huge sign on their door that says: “Danger, Sewing in progress.”

Pasando a otro tema más bonito

Les cuento que la semana pasada me fui de “Tela-terapia” si amigos, una terapia recientemente descubierta por los científicos que trata sobre la energía que mueve o activa las neuronas al hacer contacto directo con las tiendas de telas de tu ciudad. La tela-terapia llego para quedarse.

Moving on to another nicer topic

I tell you that last week I went to “Fabric-therapy” yes friends, a therapy recently discovered by scientists that deals with the energy that moves or activates neurons by making direct contact with the fabric stores in your city. The fabric-therapy is here to stay.

Si aún no sabes que efectos genera en tu mente puedes irte a la tienda más cercana a tu casa, aquí tenemos un enorme que se llama “el castillo” y es la que yo particularmente recomiendo, porque puedes hacer más ejercicio visual, puedes ejercitar el tacto acariciando las diferentes texturas y alegrando el arcoíris de tu vida con una gran gama de colores.

¿Ah, tú crees que es mentira? ¡Pues anda, pon a prueba y luego me cuentas! 🤣🤣🤣

If you still don't know what effects it generates in your mind you can go to the nearest store to your house, here we have a huge one called “the castle” and it is the one I particularly recommend, because you can do more visual exercise, you can exercise your touch caressing the different textures and brightening up the rainbow of your life with a wide range of colors.

Oh, you think it's a lie? go on, try it and then tell me about it! 🤣🤣🤣

Volviendo al tema de mi manualidad, les cuento que hace unos días mi amigo Henry (que tenía tiempo sin aparecer) me pidió que le hiciera unos juego de baño para decorar. A él le encanta tener sus baños bonitos para que cuando sus hijas lo visiten se sientan cómodas.

Back to the subject of my craft, I tell you that a few days ago my friend Henry (who hadn't been around for a while) asked me to make him some bathroom sets to decorate. He loves to have his bathrooms nice so that when his daughters visit him they feel comfortable.

La verdad tenía mucho tiempo sin hacer lencería decorativa para baños, por un momento llegué a pensar que había pasado de moda, pero investigando un poco me di cuenta que si ha disminuido, ya que ahora elaboran unas tapas de poeta decorativas, muy bonitas. También me di cuenta que los modelos que antes llevaban faralao o volante grande por todo el contorno ya no lo usan, ahora está de moda cortar la pieza principal y colocan en todo en contorno un sesgo para combinar.

En base a estos datos que pude observar busque en pinterest algunas ideas que me pudieran servir para mostrárselas a mi amigo y ya he podido avanzar en el primero. Estoy segura que de aquí a que termine el mes les estaré mostrando los tres juegos de baño ya terminados.

The truth is that I had a long time without making decorative lingerie for bathrooms, for a moment I thought it had gone out of fashion, but doing a little research I realized that it has decreased, because now they make very nice decorative poet covers. I also realized that the models that used to wear faralao or large ruffle all around the contour no longer use it, now it is fashionable to cut the main piece and place all around the contour a bias to match.

Based on these data that I could observe I searched on pinterest for some ideas that could be useful to show them to my friend and I have already been able to advance in the first one. I am sure that by the end of the month I will be showing you the three finished bathroom sets.

Como pueden ver en algunas imágenes e proceso es algo lento ya que son muchos retazos de tela que hay que cortar, juntar y coser, como dice el poema.

As you can see in some of the pictures, the process is a bit slow since there are many pieces of fabric that need to be cut, put together and sewn, as the poem says.
