Like everyone else, I have my ups and downs about crafting, I am now in down mode, but an online friend, who is a fantastic, funny and caring person (who is also on her down phase) and I have agreed to do a swap between us, using the Phat Phaerie pattern by Kate Erbach.
She is very cute and not all that difficult to do, not sure if I can start and finish her as soon as I would like. I have to pack and leave everything here at home ready and also make sure my plants keep watered with those glass or plastic tubes you fill with water and then stick top side down in the soil.
We are going to go on a vacation, the whole family, our first one since we left Cuba back in 2002, a long time ago!!. I am so looking forward to it, just relaxing, swimming, sunbathing, enjoying the company of my lovely and wonderful family and the best is to get to spend A MARVELOUS Mother's Day away from home being on the beach that we all love so much.
Packing is another story altogether, with the security measures and what you can and can't bring with you on the carry on is more challenging, I think besides the carry on we all will take a checked in baggage and all the sunblock, lotions, creams, lip balms, and whatever, will go into that. But even though it makes packing a bit more complicated, I am not complaining about this challenge, after all, these strict security measures are to keep all of us safe from an attack of any kind, so they are ok. Can't understand why people complain. They are indeed a small price to pay for our own safety, the people we love and fellow travelers..
I know I am taking at least two books with me, I always read for a while each night before going to bed, I love it when it is quiet and can immerse myself in the story with no interruptions.
So, let's see if the Phat Phaerie gets done or at least started before we leave. Will surely post photos of her when she is done.
