Happy Mother’s Day

I wrote this last week......Today is Mother’s Day and I am remembering my mom… more than always, not only how sweet and patient she was with all four of us, but also everything she thought us…her kindness and endless LOVE

One of the very first songs we learned as kids was “Los pollitos dicen Pio Pio Pio” - the chicks say pio, pio, pio-
My dear friend Rossana inspired me to crochet these cute and playful chicks – ( or pollitos in Spanish)

Hope they bring you very nice memories of your mom….

Here is a video with  the lyrics in case you want to sing it along with me: Youtube video




Jar Obsession


Have a told you about my jar obsession? well, I like to think that I am a conscious individual that likes to re-use stuff, specially  glass jars…

They seem to be just the right size and shape to hold my crochet creations, don’t you think?

 I have decorated a couple by crocheting a simple yet colorful wrap around them and adding some flowers, they are wonderful to hold bathroom necessities (cotton balls, Q-tips, hair bands, etc. etc.) and of course they are perfect to hold my crochet hooks!




All my crochet hooks fit in this jar plus I can enjoy my brother's Matryoshka, Paola Gavo's Guadalupe Virgin pencil decoration, and my son's tinfoil rose!
