I am having a hard time letting some things and good times go. Like right now, I am pretending it's still Christmas and so I've been playing Celine Dion and the O Come All Ye Faithful non stop all week.

I made these capes after my tutorial collaboration with Wild + Free and I've already sold 5 capes to friends and a few followers from Instagram.
These two are my favorite ones and I've had plans to keep them until one day I had daughters, but since by the time my future daughters will be old enough to wear them it could be in at least 10 years, I decided to sell them so that two lucky girls can enjoy them instead of sitting in my closet.
They are both reversible with one side in a beautiful quality velvet and the blue one has a soft flower pattern on the other side and the green one has a soft lilac flannel fabric. The cape ties around the neck with the softest most gorgeouse handdied velvet ribbon.
I listed them on Etsy and you'll be able to find a few ponchos aswell. I am a little sad to let them go, but I know I can always make more and I am happy someone can love them as much as I do.

I heard this song by Andrew Peterson yesterday in the radio and it's perfect, because it's true, before we can learn to love our enemies, we need to be kind to ourselves.
I pray today that, together we can heal the world.
You got all that emotion that's heaving like an ocean
And you're drowning in a deep, dark well
I can hear it in your voice that if you only had a choice
You would rather be anyone else
I love you just the way that you are
I love the way He made your precious heart
Be kind to yourself
Be kind to yourself
I know it's hard to hear it when that anger in your spirit
Is pointed like an arrow at your chest
When the voices in your mind are anything but kind
And you can't believe your Father knows best
I love you just the way that you are
I love the way He's shaping your heart
Be kind to yourself
Be kind to yourself
How does it end when the war that you're in
Is just you against you against you
Gotta learn to love, learn to love
Learn to love your enemies too
You can't expect to be perfect
It's a fight you've gotta forfeit
You belong to me whatever you do
So lay down your weapon, darling
Take a deep breath and believe that I love you
Be kind to yourself
Be kind to yourself
Be kind to yourself
Gotta learn to love, learn to love
Learn to love your enemies
Gotta learn to love, learn to love
Learn to love your enemies too

Practically Perfect in Every Way! That's how I remember Mary Poppins. Her impecable style, her perfectionism, and her beauty.
Who knows me, knows I love Mary Poppins so much. Mary was part of my childhood, actually, I don't know how anybody can make it through childhood without this classic. In our home we even named a meal after Mary.
My mother was also a fan of Mary Poppins, she was probably 4 o 5 years old when the movie came out. My grandmother made her one of the dresses from the movie for one of her roller skate performances. We still have this dress today (see below).
That dress got a lot of love and countless ours of playing dress up... and when I couldn't fit in it anymore, I made my brothers wear it. I really wanted a sister, so that was the closest I would get to have one. I was probably quite bossy (perdoneu germans!! :D)

Ryan and I decided to be Bert and Mary for this year's Halloween. This has always been one of my dreams (it's the little things) and I decided to make my costume from scratch.
We chose the scene below, one of my favorites of the movie:
I wanted to make the hat myself, but I couldn't find the right shape of hat I wanted, so I found this one in Etsy and it was perfect!
Disney store makes a replica of the parrot umbrella thanks to the Broadway Musical in New York.
Oh, and this video... I will cherish it forever! #pressplay and enjoy!
Mary and Bert are back 2015

Beatriz de Pepa y su Maleta e Isabel de Mariposas Blancas tienen un bonito apartado en su blog llamado Something Beautiful, donde invitan a alguien que quieren conocer más a preparar un desayuno en un lugar favorito mientras explican cosas sobre sus proyectos y aventuras.
Hace ya un año coincidimos las tres en un curso online de Hello!Creatividad y yo conocí en persona a Bea en mi paso por Madrid en Abril de este año.
Pasaros por sus blogs; aquí el de Bea y aquí el de Isabel para saber más de lo que cuento sobre mis proyectos, propósitos y sobre mis aventuras en Seattle y para ver el desayuno que preparé con Tania de República Checa y con Lucile de Francia en ese bonito día de otoño.

Last month we decided to celebrate the arrival of fall going on a weekend roadtrip with friends. I love fall, I do not like how fall takes over summer so quick, but I do enjoy the colors and the change of seasons, read here.
DriveShopUsa and Mitsubishi let us use one of their latest models for this trip, a 2015 Outlander; it seemed natural to call him Cherry Red. Carey and Ryan took care of the trip planning.
We left on Friday evening and stopped at Chick-Fil-A (of course!) for dinner on the way. We drove all the way to Howard Miller Steelhead Park where we camped the first night. It was wet wet wet.

We recently moved to a new house, and one of the things that I've enjoyed the most is witnessing things grow around the yard with the passing of the seasons that the previous owners planted.
You should've seen me when I discovered two beautiful mushroomsin the yard, right in front of where I park the car.
Well, I posted the picture with much excitement on Facebook saying; Beauty from our yard. 🍄 I can't stop looking at it, I might go have lunch next to it!, and a friend commented right away; Don't get too close. The amanita mushroom can prove to be fatal.

I personally don't understand daylight savings... I mean you get light in the morning (I don't mind the dark) but at 4.30 is pitch black... at least here in the PNW!
Well, instead of throwing a fit (who do I need to call for that?), I try to find the bright side, and it iss that I spend more time in the kitchen.
This afternoon I made this easy recipe that I love. It is so good right out of the oven and for the icecream lovers, throw a vanila scoop on top and voilá!

Car packed, balloons in the back seat, John Denver ready to play and a camera. (Well, we packed some other stuff but I think we could've survived without it.)
We didn't really have a plan or a place to stay and we didn't really know where we were heading. Our dear friend Laura, that now lives in San Francisco was going to stay at a beautiful spot south Oregon/North California for the weekend... so why not go see her?

26 primaveras señores, 26! Yo nose qué ha pasado pero yo ayer tenía 22 y me estaba preparando para emprender una aventura desconocida en los Estados Unidos, y de repente tengo 26.
Los 25 han sido muy especiales por lo que me está costando aceptar la entrada de otro año. Uno de los motivos es que los 26 están más cerca de los 30... se supone que ya tengo que crecer?
He decidido seguir siendo feliz y buscando el color en mi día a día!
