My niece Paula had tonsils removal surgery a couple of weeks ago. And you now, she’s been at home for some days completely spoiled. I saw her yesterday on Skype and she didn’t want to talk to me until I mentioned that it was a pity that she didn’t because …

Paula and her bathing suit
Do you remember the bathing suit I made for the swimsuit sewalong? During my stay in Vigo I could finally make some pictures of Paula modelling it. The weather was quite bad during the two weeks I spent there, being cold and foggy most of the time, but I managed to go …
Train derailment
I travel between Madrid and Vigo either by train or by plane. I came by plane this time and I’ll be going back this Saturday also by plane. I arrived home today around 22:30 from having a drink with an old friend and I saw my mother with her eyes …
A family week
As I’ve explained in my previous post, after experimenting very high temperatures in Madrid, I felt too optimistic and packed two skirts, a pair of shorts, a dress and a half for my two weeks here. The half comes from the pieces I cut to make a Lonsdale dress, since …
Fails
Murphy’s law says that if there’s anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. And it definitely did this time. We were supposed to take a flight to Vigo yesterday at 5 pm, but after taking zillions of planes in our life, we miscalculated and missed our plane. We could change our tickets …

Sisters
It’s very peculiar that when we were kids and teenagers, the “handy” one was my sister. I remember her making wonderful bracelets during her study hours, piercing her earlobes and even her belly button during those same study hours and later on cutting fabric and sewing like a madman on …
Stewardess in distress
I’ve came to spend the weekend with my mother. She’s finally coming out of the pneumonia, but still, I wanted to come and visit her. She’s staying these weeks with one of my aunts at the house that used to belong to my grandparents. The weather is usually worse than …
Barswingona
This past long weekend was not very productive regarding knitting. We assisted to an international Lindy-Hop event in Barcelona. With four hours of class per day and then the parties where we could continue dancing and watching the teachers’ showcases, we had no much energy left in our bodies the …
