lately ...

Lately, life is going to stay in places, i've been busy last months, everybody thinks a makeover at home would take just few weeks... like yeah right! is like 5 months since i started this project of renovation! water pipes, floor titles, building and enlarging rooms... it sounds like i did all that job, but not, but what i did is paying bills and i'm so grateful for all that different jobs that i had so i can afford this huge change in the home... later in another post i'll tell you the story of this adorable place, but in the meanwhile, doing all this hard work was with heavy materials, cement, bricks, and hard material of construction, the fact i was able to afford just makes me happy and lucky girl (tears of joy) dad would be so proud of what i've been doing this past years (thank you life!!)
So, i also been looking for ideas for home, i'm gonna sew a oilcloth banner, need some inspirational quote for my home... but i just found on Etsy great ideas for decoration in all senses!
Here is the list!

Linen bedding, a pink duvet in queen, matrimonial and king size, looks so fresh and cozy! love love love! this adorable shop is from Poland and is Solinen

From the warm Africa, this woven basket in neutral colors is a must for home, a great place to storage laundry or just for decoration, such a chic way to place clothes, from Senegal, Africanbaskets

Gotta say it, Mojito is one of my fav cocktails (gotta lots of fav but Mojito!) always forget the full recipe and here is a great option to make one perfect at home, also they got a lot like Margaritas, bloody mary and colorful coasters, from EU DrinkingModern

Last but not least, in this mini curated list for home a white floating nightstand, with all the modern and mid century style, take a look at this awesome shop, i couldn't decide in so many option, from Italy EbanisteriaCavallaro

Is quite fun to make curated list... !

chasing places

This has been a huge change to me... change and an giant remake of my place... i do really wish this could be faster, but all process takes time. I finally could make it to afford the makeover that i've been dream on, yes, was a big effort, yes, my family is helping me in some way and i'm so grateful with all of them, yes, i finally could find someone that can help me to make this changes and he is so honest working on it, cuz is a big hard work, yes, i earned a lot, taking several jobs to do this makeover and i'm so thankful with all the people that help me in several ways... but in the mean time, i'm still here, busy as bee, working on my paintings, on my classes and taking jobs in between... wish me luck and all the best, i'm still doing what i can and keeping my way to get the art studio of my dreams...luv you people!

 

life lately...

Life lately has keeping me moving around from one place to another, i need more coffee than usual, also music to dance and keep a nice mood and flow.

The city is been a nice place but gosh! too sunny like, i'm burning under the sun but well, Mexico país tropical, is a fact... good thing, is already a lot of delicious food, mangoes, watermelons, agua fresca, ice cream and all the yummy food to reduce the heat...
Did you see the eclipse? was wonderful isn't? i notice the shadow of the tree, all the sunbeams can be catch in tiny half moons... can't describe, was so beautiful..
So here i am, catching photos of the places i've been lately, trying to move forward and keep myself active in many ways... classes are doing great, gotta take photos of my classroom to share you guys

art seeker....

  i was just passing  by, walking thru museums, art galleries, art exhibitions, just seeking some shapes, ideas, colors, anything that inspires me in every place i step in...
leaving behind all the glam, going to museums and art galleries should be more as a new experience for learning and feeling, we are sensorial beings, humans need sensations and new feelings to nourish our souls.
Lately i've been quite busy with my classes at school, i've got more than 100 teenagers that keeps me awake, alive, energized and of course, quite busy but classes are doing great, i like to talk them about art and art history, i constantly repeat and encourage to visit museums, the experience is quite unique and for a teenager could be new and vivid see art in all its forms and expressions...
Got to go back to my duties,  i'll try to keep posting my dear blogger friends...

People collect... what to collect?

I used to think that some collectors and curators got similar jobs, i mean, like very punctual things in common...They do both select an item, object, idea... they also do a quite peculiar selection over that, like is not just collect to put everything stuffed in a wall o shelf, they are hunger to find a rare item, a treasure to preserve on their selection...
I took a class of curators, was so clarifying about the ideas, humans tend to keep and collect but what's the difference? is the intentions (on my conclusions) over it..
i went to a toy museum, but didn't look much like a museum, was more likely to be a extravagant collection of a toy enthusiast person.. i did like it a lot of toys that was so nostalgic and keep alive some childhood memoirs, i left the place feeling that i need it more information, something to learn more over the full wall stuffed with toys, souvenirs, dolls, cars and else... was a nice place to visit and may probably visit in some few years... but left it thinking about what to collect?.... what do you collect??

 

knock knock...

 Guess i haven't been busy around here... but trust me, i've been quite busy lately! between classes, handling job and art projects... (but at least i've been doing great and having fun too... stressed too but still, has been fun around...) 
news? museums are still my kind of thing to visit... more news? new paintings at my studio of course.... more and more news? traveling this year like i always wanted! and that's a good thing for this fondly routine breaker person of me... like, i wish i do really wish to travel often even when i go back tired but what can i say folks? travel is a refresh to me! breath new air and scents on the roads and cities! eat and try new food around (don't care if i get sick on my stomach...) 
This year was such a nice thing to visit México city, between you and me it wasn't my kind of city... wasn't is the key word... is now for me... walking around in the downtown area, take the subway and praying deeply to not been there if there's an earthquake... God only know how scary could be that...
So, i'll share some of my fav photos that i took there... thank you year 2023 to let me stay busy, working and traveling in things that i totally adore!
