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!

Little Kitten & Bed

Sweet Amigurumi Panda :)

Happy Hot Cocoa

Little Baby Owl Plushie

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!

The weather's crazy! *** El tiempo esta totalmente loco!

At the beginning of the week I was in the playground with the girls and they were wearing long sleeved shirts, no coat, and it was warm and sunny. Today it's freezing again, and it's kind of snowing! What's going on?!!!
**Al ppio de la semana estaba en la placita con las nenas, que tenian unos bucitos manga larga sin abrigo, estaba lindo, soleado... Hoy hace un frio terrible, y medio que quiere nevar! Cual es?!!!

And I know it's wrong to be complaining, considering what Japan is going through. I can't even begin to imagine the pain... I wish I could do something to make it all go away. In the midtime, and I know it's been posted everywhere, but we can all help at least a little. I always like to help Unicef...
**Y ya se que esta mal quejarme de tanta pavada mientras que la gente en Japon esta pasando por lo que esta pasando. No me da la cabeza para empezar a imaginarme el dolor y la desesperacion de tanta familia... Ojala puedieramos hacer algo para que pasara todo, no?  Mientras tanto, se puede hacer un poquito. A mi siempre me gusta ayudar a Unicef...

That's it for today, thank you for liking the cats :)  Here's my new Easter pattern: a little chick and its bunny box/house :) Happy weekend!   

**Y eso es todo por hoy! Aca va el patron nuevo para Pascuas: un pollito y su casita de conejo (!)
Feliz fin de semana!

I made some little hats...

Hola!
I hope you have a fun time with your family & that you have lots of good things to be thankful about :)
**Espero que se diviertan mucho con sus familias & que tengan muchas cosas buenas por las que estar agradecidos a la vida (hoy aca en usa es Thanksgiving day).

Look! baby hats in my Etsy shop :)

Rain rain go away...

New toys in the shop!

I finally finished posting all the toys included in the Amigurumi Toy Box Set in Flickr :) My pictures are not good at all, but you can see the nice ones that are in the book (some of them), in Amazon :)
The littlest mouse didn't make it in the book, so I'll post the pattern here tomorrow or Thursday.

**Termine de subir todas las fotos de los juguetes de Amigurumi Toy Box en Flickr :) Mis fotos la verdad que estan horribles, pero pueden ver las del libro mismo en Amazon :)
El raton mas chiquito no esta en el libro, asi que mañana o pasado pongo el patron aca, ta?



Have a great night!
Que tengan una linda noche!

Lindo Jueves!
Happy Thursday!

Hola!

We're officially done with school! I love having the girls around, but just because we're not all that entertaining, we enrolled them in some activities: Oli started gymnastics and is having some trouble with her cartwheels -definitely takes after me :p
Marti started ballet and we're hoping she'll talk a little there (she went to school for 2 whole semesters and didn't say a word, but at home she talks non-stop)
Santiago's sick and was throwing up yesterday until 12 pm :(
Franco's teaching some Summer classes, and I'm doing some wholesale work, and trying to stay cool (it is way too hot here in NJ).

**Bue, estamos oficialmente en vacaciones! Me encanta estar con las chiquis todo el tiempo, pero como no somos muy entretenidos las anotamos en unas clases:
La Oli empezo a hacer gimnasia y esta teniendo problemas con las ruedas de carro -igual a mi, que soy un queso :p
Marti empezo ballet y estamos deseando que por lo menos hable un poco (este año en la escuela no dijo ni una palabra, pero en casa habla sin parar)
Santiago esta medio enfermo y ayer se paso vomitando hasta las 12 :(
Franco esta dando unas clases, y yo estoy haciendo unos trabajos al por mayor, y tratando de no morirme de calor (esta horrible horrible aca en New Jersey).

I posted two little new patterns in the shop:
**Subi dos "patroncitos" nuevos a la tiendita:

** Y ahora estoy sentada en frente del ventilador, tomando mate y esperando que refresque un poco! Espero que hayan tenido un lindo fin de semana.

New Pattern!

One little squirrel under a tall, tall mushroom :)
-Pattern in my Etsy shop

Back in the day, when I was pregnant with Oli, I had the most scary, terrifying dream ever. I was walking to school (Oli was born the week before finals!) and all these ugly looking squirrels with huge teeth started to jump on my belly, trying to eat the baby! I've been terrified of squirrels since ever since. I see a squirrel and I cross the street! They just look at me funny, like they're ready to jump!
Oli thinks it's hilarious (she's almost 5 now) and tells everybody the story (only she tells it like it actually happened! - you should see the looks I get!)
So I made this little squirrel to start getting over this dumb phobia one tiny little squirrel step at a time :)

-Hace rato, cuando estaba embarazada de Oli, soñe que estaba caminando a la facultad (Oli nacio una semana antes de los examenes finales), y un montonazo de ardillas horribles y con unos dientes gigantes me empezaron a saltar en la panza tratando de comersela! Desde ahi que les tengo un terror totalmente irracional y malisimo. Cuando veo una ardilla cruzo la calle, porque en serio que me miran mal!
Oli piensa que es comiquisimo (cumple 5 a fin de mes), y le cuenta la historia a todo el mundo, pero como si hubiera pasado de verdad (la gente me mira como si estuviera loca!)
& nada, hice la ardillita esta para ver si de a poquito se me va el miedo tonto este :)

Rosita in Pajamas & her Bunny

Easter's coming and I see bunnies everywhere!

Se vienen las pascuas y veo conejos por todos lados :)

(new pattern in the shop)

First Pattern of 2008 ♥

Little Butterfly & her Strawberry Home :)
I'm making a lot more little ones and their homes patterns this year. I have so many ideas... I need more time!
Hope you like them :)
