1. Dana's Crochet School


Dana's Crochet School is awesome! I've been reading it since it started- Oct 1st. She explains every little thing from the beginning. This course is going to be on her blog - for free and forever! If you are curious or interested, I recommend it 100%! 


2. Crayola Shoes DIY



A very creative Art Teacher made these! She found the shoes at Goodwill and painted them with acrylics.

The Skin I live in - Movie

I was at the movies yesterday and I watched "La Piel Que Habito" translation: "The Skin I live in" a film by Pedro Almodovar a Spanish filmmaker- I was really impressed and I have to say that I really loved it, everything about it. It's a kinda fucked up movie- but that's the whole beauty of it and of Almodovar's films.... I'm not going to spoil the movie for you, but I really want people to watch it, its very interesting.. ;)






here is the trailer.. 





The trailer doesn't make a lot of sense.. but.. if you watch the movie, you won't regret it!

My First Knitted Scarf!


I didn't think Knitting would become so addictive! I learned to knit last year while watching youtube tutorials- so I learned to cast on, the basic knit stitch and then to cast off.. I practiced a lot, I even practiced with plastic bags as my yarn.. cool stuff.. 

The problem was I stopped because my little finger started hurting.. A LOT.

I don't know why, does this happen to knitters??? 


Anyway, last week I took knitting back and I have to say, worth it! Love everything even though I only know a basic stitch, because the Purl Stitch is really hard for me right now.. I made my first scarf- I love the yarn, the colors, the texture everything! yay! I'm very proud! It took me a week, every night I knitted urging for the yarn to finish!! haha 



here is..my very own handmade knitted scarf!


My little finger on my right hand still hurts, but I'm trying to control it.. 

This Saturday I have a knitting workshop in which I will learn basic stitches and improve my techniques! 

Knit on!!!

OCTOBER is here!!!!

via


Oh my! Time flew by.. I am still in Barcelona, and I have my ticket for the 20th.. :(:(:( I really.. really .. really.. DON'T want to go :( I'm kinda considering staying one more month- but nothing is planned yet.. I have no clue what to do I just want to stay longer. 

Off course, I miss Miami, my family and friends but.. I'm loving it here! My patternmaking class is awesome, I have discovered a couple of workshops that I would love to participate and I kinda have to miss class to assist.. so If I stay longer I can assist those workshops and skip class but with the chance to go to class another day!! The thing is my class lasts month and a half so strictly to finish class and leave on the 20th.. see..?? 

Another reason I would love to stay is the fact that I'm everyday in class so I don't get a chance to walk, relax, go to museums or libraries, everything has to be in the morning pretty fast, because at night I get home at 8:30 and I'm dead!!! so so tired, I just want to eat, relax and maybe practice crocheting.. 

There's another reason - HALLOWEEN IN BARCELONA 
I love Halloween, I love to get dressed up and it would be cool to be here and see how it is here. 

also.. I love my boyfriend :) and I will be very sad If I go and leave him here :(

So many other reasons *sigh.. 

I would like to say that my mom is pretty supportive and I love her for that (I know she's reading it, because she's like my number one fan hehe) <3 I miss her and I want her to understand that I have NO CLUE what to do but eventually I will, so I want her not to worry about a thing.. because every thing is going to be all right.. *bob marley song. yeah :)

Well, a few changes on my blog! New sponsors on the left side of my blog!! check them out, they are all so lovely! 

*Please keep in note that I trade ads for sponsorship, If you don't have me on your blog, I will erase you from mine (no harsh feelings) It's ok! :)

Also, I wanted to reply your comments, but I hated that when I replied on the basic blogger comments, it automatically added a new comment.. so I asked my little friend Miss Lou <3 how she had her cool comment replies and she gave me her secret and I CHANGED IT and I LOVED IT.. but.. 

ALL MY COMMENTS ARE GONE :(:(

It made me sad because I know how tedious making a comment is, how everyone puts effort in writing on my blog, and I love you for that, that's why I wanted to reply all of you, but this happened.. I still see my 700+ comments I had on my comments section, but they will NOT be published on the new comment thingy.. 

On another note, I have one of my closest friends from Miami here with us! We are happy to have her here .. I've been showing her around!! it's pretty fun :)


at Parc Guell 



Have a happy month!
