Getting ready for the Holidays! / Preparandome para las fiestas!

I posted lots of new toys to my Etsy shop :)
Subi un monton de juguetes nuevos a mi Etsy shop!

& two new patterns!

                                 A very happy whale :)
                               

And then, again, my computer died! It seems like it happens every other month, and I'm beginning to think it's me :(
**  Y para variar, otra vez, se me rompio la computadora! Parece que me pasa cada dos meses, y estoy empezando a asumir que el problema soy yo :(

I'm working on a new pattern right now, it should be cute when it's done :)
Estoy haciendo un patron nuevo, me parece que va a quedar re lindo!

I hope you have the nicest week, chau!
**Que tengan una muy muy linda semana, beso!

I finally took pictures!

... of all the toys waiting for a new home ;)  I'm planning to post them in my Etsy shop little by little, while I finish off the manuscript for the new book :)
*** Por fin saque fotos de todos los juguetes en busca de un hogar ;) Los voy a subir de a poquito en la tiendita de Etsy, mientras que termino el manuscrito del libro nuevo :)

Here are some of the ones I posted today/Aca estan algunos de los que subi hoy!


I hope you like them :)
Espero que les gusten :)

Fridays are tought, the girls are super tired from the week (so they argue, yell and drive us crazier than usual), and I'm exhausted!  All I can think about is my bed, which has been calling me since 8! If we're lucky, tomorrow they won't wake us up until 9!  -it's always nice to dream ;)
*** Los viernes son bravos, las nenas estan re cansadas de la semana (o sea que se pasan peleando, gritando, y enloqueciendonos mas que de costumbre), y yo estoy muerta!  Solo puedo pensar en mi camita, que me esta llamando desde las 8!  Si tenemos suerte, manhana las nenas no nos despiertan hasta las 9! -sonhar no cuesta nada ;)

Tomorrow we're taking Oli & Marti to see Snow White at WPU and they are really excited. Two years ago (Marti was 3) we saved all this money to take them to see Mary Poppins in Broadway (it's so expensive, isn't it?), and at certain point Martina told me: "You can turn it off now". Can you believe it?!!! :)
I'm sure tomorrow will be different, now that she's such a big girl who goes to kindergarten :*(
I'll let you know how it goes :)
I hope you have a really nice weekend. Have fun!
*** Manhana vamos a llevar a las nenas a ver Blanca Nieves en WPU y estan re contentas. Hace 2 anhos (Marti tenia 3) juntamos un monton de plata para llevarlas a ver Mary Poppins en Broadway, y despues de un rato Martina me dijo: "Ta, apagalo". Pueden creer?!!! :)
Manhana seguro no pasa, ahora que esta tan grande y va a preescolar :*(
Despues les cuento :)
Espero que tengan un fin de semana MUY lindo y divertido. Besos!

11/11/11!

Hola!!!

 I hope you guys had a great summer/are happy summer's almost there :)
**Espero que hayan tenido un verano re lindo/que esten contentos de que el verano casi casi llega :)

Our Summer was all right, but I was feeling kind of sick, and finally had to change medicine for my MS. The good thing is I don't have to do shots anymore, I now have pills!!!
**Nuestro verano estuvo bien, pero yo me senti medio horrible todo el tiempo, y al final me cambiaron de remedio para la EM. Lo bueno es que ahora no me tengo que pinchar mas, ahora son pastillas!!!

The girls are growing up fast and are back in school. Oli's in 3rd grade, and Martina started kinder, which I really wasn't ready for. These kids grow up way too fast, I can't believe Marti's already starting to read and write, & that Oli wants her nails painted purple!... I'm getting really old people! ;)
**Las nenas estan creciendo rapidisimo y estan de vuelta en la escuela. Oli esta en 3ro y Martina empezo preescolar, y la verdad que yo no estaba pronta. Crecen demasiado rapido, me parece mentira que Marti ya este aprendiendo a leer y escribir, y que Oli quiera las unhas violetas!... Estoy mas vieja que nunca gente! ;)

The last time I got really sick Franco finally gave me the "yes" for a dog, and that's how Santiago came into our lives, so this time I took advantage of it and convinced him to get him a friend. I couldn't, however, get him into getting another Boston :(, because he said this time he was going to pick it, so we adopted this really funny little mutt that keeps us and Santi entertained. He's 4 already and very loving :)
**La ultima vez que me enferme mal Franquito me dio el "si" para un perrito, y traje a Santiago, asi que sabiendo como viene la mano,empece a hacer campanha para un amiguito para Santi. No pude convencerlo para traer otro Boston :( porque dijo que esta vez lo iba a elegir el, asi que adoptamos uno chiquito muy gracioso marca perro ;) que tiene 4 anhitos y la verdad que es muy adorado :)

I'm working on a new book :) This one won't be toys, but toy-inspired. It's been a lot of fun to make. My deadline is on the 22nd, so after that I'll start making new patterns, toys and things for my abandoned Etsy shop.
**Estoy trabajando en un libro nuevo :) Este no va a ser de juguetes, pero inspirado por los amigurumi. Esta re divertido la verdad. Tengo que mandar todo el 22, asi que despues de ahi empiezo a hacer patrones, juguetes y cositas nuevas para mi tiendita de Etsy, que tengo super abandonada.

& that's it for now, I will not forget this blog for so long again! (I have such a normal, everyday-is-pretty-much-the-same life, that most times I don't know what to write about). I'm missing Montevideo big time, so if anyone has approx. $1,000 lying around and wants to get me a plane ticket I'll be more than happy ;)
Big hug and talk to you soon!
**& eso es todo por ahora, a ver si no me olvido del blog por tanto tiempo de vuelta! (tengo una vida tan normal, y tan "todos los dias lo mismo", que la mayoria de las veces no tengo nada para contar). Estoy extranhando Montevideo horriblemente, asi que si alguien tiene mas o menos 1000 dolares por ahi y me quiere comprar un pasaje de avion yo mas que feliz ;)
Abrazo fuerte y hablamos prontito!

Help Colleen & get lots of patterns! ♥


Colleen is the mom of 3 little kids, that were 6 mo, 1 and 3 years old when their mom was diagnosed with cancer.
They are now 7, 6 & 5 (thank you Kimi!), and they moved with their dad & mom to Seattle so Colleen can undergo treatment.
Being a mom, I can't even begin to imagine Collen's pain, and the pain her whole family is going through. Cancer sucks and I still can't understand why we haven't found a cure.
You can read her whole story here, and you can help by either donating money or participating/placing a bid in one of the auctions that her family has every week (here)

One of the things being auctioned this week is a signed copy of "Amigurumi Toy Box", and ALL the patterns availabe in my Etsy shop, so I really think you should go over and place a bid HERE!

You have time until Friday. Please please go over and help out, and keep their family in your thoughts!
Hug,
Ana
