Bless my mornings

Every day is the same, run from here to there, make a routine, keep everything ready, make some meals, rushing and hurrying myself to not to be late, i do that 6 days a week some days are more in a rush than other but always the quite the same
Today was the day that i can totally make the time to cook and prepare my breakfast as if it was a ritual.. Boiling water for my coffee, gathering all the ingredients, wash all the dishes and just take my time for enjoying simply moments like this...
so bless my mornings and keep me doing this more often...

 

out of town

 so i was invited by an art promotor and curator to give an art workshop for kids. Gosh! didn't know how much i miss to travel! really! besides to go out of town, is more like i do really, really love to travel and also i neeeeed vitamin sea!
i stayed in a lil town near to Puerto Vallarta with some friends and art pals, my workshop was about the landscape and colors, i was working on it the last 3 weeks, i was totally pleased how kids respond to outdoorsy activities even when was damn hot outside, like 33 degrees...
i do want to go back of course! 
i do want to go back and eat tons of fruit and sea food
i do really really want to go back and swim in the sea

i do love colors

 I do love colors, i wish more colorful things, like in all my home of course, the palette of my paintings and also with all my outfit... funny cuz i wear more neutral colors or dark colors, i just realize that i should wear more colorful clothes and barely got it in my wardrobe (oh well..) but what i love is to mix colors in my paintings, also mix colorful oilcloth pattern and make different garlands with lots of colors... so lately i thinking in quotes, like in books, in poems.... quotes to encourage or cheer up, i guess is i'm thinking in how to make a place looks and feel cozy and make it better... so i've been sewing, searching for vintage thinks for my home and just want to make my place to look great...
What do you do when you want to make a place look better?
Advices are welcome...

life lately...

i've been staying in home for vacation, i can't say it was just leisure, i've been working on my paintings, cleaning, declutter, painting walls and else... this is my last week before to start classes again, is kinda scary going back to presencial classes after all this distance and virtual classes... i already got my vaccine although i feel secure with it i'm still taking a lot of vitamins!!
Even when i adore to stay more time at home i've got to go back, this are my fav captures lately and yes! i used a nice vintage filter for this pics cuz i love vivid and bright colors but why not a different thing?
 August has been kind to me...

dash of yellow

 August is one of my favorites months of the year, dunno why really... i guess is just the weather or maybe almost the last month of summer season... really can't tell, but i can tell you why i like this month and also what i've been capture lately with my camera... i've got a crush in yellow, just a dash, i've been thinking seriously to paint some wooden furniture in yellow or sew something with yellow fabric but most shocking is to wear yellow in my outfits like, more than usual, i feel so confortable wearing black and blue and grey tho, but well.. i may probably change my mind... i don't have a specific explanation but just because i like it, is like candy eye to me... (also pastel pink, i may probably write a post of pastel pink meanwhile...) some captures with yellow ...

Etsy finds au naturel

 Yes, i've been quite busy from here to there, sometimes i procrastinate like a lot, and sometimes i don't even know what day it is... but lately i just try to stay active in Etsy, i do enjoy putting extra gifts to all my customers and make an extra effort to be creative with my garlands and banner quotes and still! this is what i found lately, there's a reason... gonna explain myself..
Lately i've been quite interested in lingerie and undies like... i took classes of how to sew it and now is like a trend and omG! need to keep update on how to sew it, materials and i can't help it! so au naturel because is almost autumn, is nice the warm colors ..
here's my selection of what i see and what you can find in Etsy guys!

Couldn't help it! is nice, is stylish, is sexy and still cute this undies, have you seen the details of the bunnies? i just love love love everything in this shop, you can find more with FRKSLingerie 

so fresh so natural like linen! this shop got everything in natural and gorgeous colors, like everything you wanted for home and cloths, take a closer look a Mooshop

something new and something old... like isn't this dress gorgeous?! me? i want it!! is retro, is feminine is perfect! please take a look! i just found more little vintage treasures that needs new owner in Petrune

Last but not least, a vintage minimal brass mid century lamp yaaY ok this is my kind of style for sure! this shop got an assortment of lamps in all shapes and style, take a look at LongMadeCo

I'll hope you like my selection! for sure is the kind of thing i would love to wear and have at home, visit Etsy, buy local, support handmade shops ! 

installing is a work in progress

I'm not gonna lie to you guys, i know moving is quite hard tho although fixing, repairing and installing is a rough work in progress! so far that's the only corner clear zand nice in the house, no kidding, my painting studio is still in progress, i've got to declutter, organice according to my needs and activities (plan is just painting and sewing room but may probably be just painting studio..) 
The rest of the house is a total mess, actually i call it a work in progress, i need to fix, paint, repair and do lots of stuff some of the i already did but even when i love to be so handy as my dad, sometimes i just ask for help or assistance because is a hard work to do, i would love to do it myself but really is hard.. 
Good thing my room is almost done, closets are already clean, clear and painted in white but my kitchen is from depression era and hopefully, soon will be ready and according to my plan, i do hope that would look so kitschy, so bright and kinda retro, kinda Almodovar's set (cross fingers and will be open for other ideas)

Yup you can check for sure what i want according to my pinterest choices and selections... Expect more work in progress, wish me luck and send me good vibes 

 

 

i spy with my little eye...

a lost giraffe near to the carousel ...

A bbf rockin her artworks in the museum...

Teenagers learning about Virginia Woolf and the book " a room for their own"...

A tiny T-Rex walking by in a window

A new way to see artworks and follow a  continuos line but

a emerald colors that totally caught my attention (didn't follow the arrow...never in life actually)

soon i'll move

 There is a place that waits for me... There is a place i've been working on for it... There is a place that be back alive again... There is a place where i'll be work on... There is a place that will be a refugee... There is a place where soon i'll call home...
I've been working quite hard this last 5 years and soon i'll see some reward... my parents helps me a lot but the effort and hard work is done by me.. i just bought a place... is still in progress, i couldn't do it without them, i couldn't do it without my siblings, i couldn't do it without my friends...
Almost 4 years ago, after been kicked out from a place, literally to the street, i went back to my parents house, dealing with depression, low selfsteem and heartbroken i put a goal (was several goals actually) 
Rebuilding myself is one of the hardest work i have ever been doing... so wish me luck, wish me the best, send good vibes, and send love because i already started...

i spy with my little eye...

 i've been moving in places and spaces, watching, seeing colors... i would say i kinda see it just like if it's ready to be capture in photo...
Lately, i've been able to move more around this places, still i'm standing at home, taking care of my health, i already got a vaccine but can't risk i still wear a mask everywhere i go...
how is your health? wish you stay healthy and taking care...

quick trip...

 so i push my luck, i took my chances, i decided not to live with fear and well i packed my stuff, take a fly and went to Cdmx... Gosh! can't tell you how i missed to travel!!! visiting places, walking around, take a cup of coffee and just going outside!!
don't get me wrong, i'm the indoorsy person but sometimes is like too much! why not to travel?! here i am now, after a short quick travel, visiting museums, parks, art galleries, walking by, eating yummy and delicious food... can't get enough! i want to go to other places now!!! 
if i have fun? hell yes! if i take care? hell yes! if i was sanitizing my hands frequently? hell yes!
pack your stuff, get a ticket to nowhere and travel!
