Nell's Cardigan, Patchwork Table Runners, Granny Squares Cushion, Recycling old towells, Jimmy's Gymea.

To all my dear crafty friends: you are always in my thoughts, even when I don't post anything which is only because I don't find the time. May was particularly busy with Mother's Day, my Birthday and 2 more birthdays in my family. Jimmy organized a get together in a Club so I didn't have to cook and he didn't have to wash the dishes heeee  
But I managed to finish a few knitting and sewing projects.......

------------------------------------------------------

A todas mis queridas amigas artesanas: estais siempre en mis pensamientos, aun cuando no posteo nada lo cual es solo por falta de tiempo. Mayo fue particularmente ocupado con el Dia de las Madres,
mi Cumpleaños y 2 cumpleaños mas en mi familia. Jimmy organizo la fiesta en un Club para que yo no tenga que cocinar y ni el lavar los platos jeje
Pero pude terminar algunos proyectos tejeriles y costuriles.

Happy Easter!, A table runner, a granny's Bag, Sock Monkeys

Happy Easter to everyone! These were days for praying for all our friends and relations who are sick. Days to say THANKS to Jesus who gave his life for each one of us.
After a few rainy days today the skies are open to celebrate this very special day Easter Sunday.
We also did a few more mundane things like cooking a big Trout, broke some Easter Eggs. A very special day to celebrate in the family.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Felices Pascuas a todos! Estos fueron dias de oracion por todos nuestros amigos y conocidos que estan enfermos. Dias de decir GRACIAS a Jesus que dio su vida por cada uno de nosotros.
Despues de varios dias de lluvia hoy se abrio el cielo para celebrar precisamente este dia especial Domingo de Pascuas.
Hicimos tambien cosas mas mundanas,  una Trucha enorme y rompimos varios Huevos. Es una fiesta muy especial para pasar en familia.

 

This table runner is for our friend Daniel who spent a few weeks in Hospital and is returning home soon.

 

---------------------------

 

Este caminero es para nuestro amigo Daniel que paso varias sermanas en Hospital y pronto retorna a su casa.

 

This Granny's Bag finished a few days ago but I still don't know whom will go to.

 

----------------------------------------

 

Este Bolso de Grannys lo termine hace unos dias pero todavia no se a quien ira.

 

I started with a pair of socks and a monkey came out.

Then more monkeys, is very addictive .

Now more "orders" impossible to be bored ha ha

 

---------------------------

Empeze con un par de calcetines y un monito salio de el.

Despues mas monitos, es muy adictivo .
