Chestnut soup / Sopa de castañas

Finally I made my most beloved soup!!! And she was soooooo delicious...but a little bit heavy !
Let the winter come!

Al final preparé mi sopa de castañas! Y estaba muy rica...pero un poco fuerte!

State coach / Carroza

A pumkin-fantasy...drawed in bed while thinking of sleeping like a queen while riding in this state coach and waking up on a misty morning. And so the night passed very fast!
It has something ...Amish

My room / Mi cuarto

I'm a little bit reorganizing my drawingroom...after a summer that I spend far away of this place it became a mess in the last month here again. So, time has come to put things in order and I created a small 'reading'corner in my little lovely room. Above all I love the light that's making the colors even more 'gold' in the early morning...
♥

Estoy reorganizando mi cuarto...despues un verano de no estar aqui este cuarto se ha convertido en un basural. Ahora, es tiempo para poner todo de nuevo en orden y asi tenia la idea para crear un lugar donde puedo leer todo mis libros que tengo. Sobre todo me encanta la luz de la mañana que entra mi cuarto muy temprano. Parece que da un brillo de oro a todo los colores!

Teaching... / Enseñar...

Wednesday is teaching-day for me. We had a nice afternoon while watching 'exotic fruits' and drawing parts of them on black paper with oil pastels. The childrens really liked the colors but making something very small much bigger...doesn't seem so easy :)
♥
Miercoles es mi día de dar lecciones. Tuvimos una tarde muy bonita mientras mirabamos frutas exoticas y tratando de dibujar las frutas sobre papel negro y coloreando con crayolas. A los niños les gusto los colores realmente pero dibujar algo pequeño en un formato mas grande no les parecía tan facil :)

If I could be sure that this white carpet in the Andes is ...infinite!

Si podría estar segura que esta manta blanca en los Andes es ...infinita!

Happy autumn/ Feliz otoño !

This morning I cycled in the fields close to where I grew up, and found this treasure of autumn-fruits. These chestnuts will make a transformation in some days to a super-delicious soup! One year ago I was to late to search and recollect them, ...now I took my chance and I look forward to cooking them!
♥
Está mañana recogí estas riquisimas castañas en el pueblo donde viví cuando era niña. Las usaré para cocinar una rica sopa en algunos dias. Hace un año estaba muy tarde para ir a recogerlas, ahora muy temprano...pero feliz estoy con mi tesoro!

Rememberings / Recuerdos

It's almost one month that we returned out from Perú. I'm missing the family and so much more and so the only thing I can do right here is making or creating beautiful things to forget the pain I feel in some moments.... One day in Cajamarca (the north of Perú) I bought these textiles. Just by cutting the edges and making them more rough I have now my own typical Peruvian coasters.
♥
Es hace casi un mes desde que regresamos de Perú. Extrañamos a la familia y mucho más. Una forma para hacer la vida un poquito mas dulce y olvidar la tristeza, es crear cositas bonitas. Un día he comprado en Cajamarca estas telas. Solo he cortado los bordes y asi he creado un particular posavasos.

Pumpkin-days / Dias de calabaza

It's a beautiful day, the sun is all around and the air is 27 degrees warm...it looks like summer but a lot of little things are telling us that autumn is coming closer and closer. Just bought this little pumpkins and those earrings I made some days ago while dreaming of the tasty fruits that autumn will bring us very soon! Lovely day...nice weekend to all of you!

♥
Hoy es un día maravilloso. El sol brilla fuerte y nos calienta hasta 27 grados. Parece verano todavía pero un montón de señales nos dicen que el otoño esta muy cerca. Recién compré estas calabazas e hice estos aretes hace algunos dias mientras soñaba con las riquisimas frutas que el otoño nos va a traerá! Un dia perfecto...feliz fin de semana a todos!

El trio de Los Andes

Just for the fun I painted these three jewels...may'be I will paint away the letters...don't know, I'm searching my way and it feels just fine!

Missing him... again / Le extraño...de nuevo

Inspired on a drawing I made in November 2008 I tried to paint on this wooden pendant... I bought some of them in Lima and I want to make more experiments with it. Let's see if it will survive the heath of my oven :)...

Inspirada por un dibujo que hice el año pasado en noviembre.
Estoy tratando de dar color a esta cosita con pintura para ceramica, voy a poner al horno, viva el experimento, a ver si sobrevive a mi plan! :)

A home for the jewels / Una casa para las joyas

Saved from her 'rubbish-life', I gave her today a new meaning...

Salvado de una vida como 'basura', le he dado hoy dia un nuevo destino...

'La Joyeria del gato' / 'The jewels of the cat' ...

Although weekends are times to visit friends or family, I couldn't resist to use my spare home-time to paint more earrings and beads...Finally bought good 'porcelain' paint and baking the polymer clay twice doesn't seem to bring troubles. I'm happy with these ones, it's a beginning of something new for me, but I feel that it touch me and I can find a big pleasure in it while creating them. Tell me how you like them ...
♥
Aunque el fin de semana es un tiempo para visitar amigos o familiares, yo he usado cualquier minuto para pintar mas arretes y piedritas...He comprado una pintura especial que tengo que hornear también al igual que la arcilla que uso, y no puedo esperar para experimentar y buscar la mejor forma de trabajar con estos materiales. Estoy feliz con con el resultado pero esto es sólo el inicio de una experiencia nueva para mí. Me da una satisfacción muy grande y me encanta crear estas joyas. Cuéntame cómo te gustan ...

1st of September, a new start / un nuevo empiezo

I'm BACK...from Peru, back into my Belgian rythm...after exactly one week today. The first schoolday for millions of childrens here.
It took me some days to fight back on a huge jetlag...still he is playing with my body and mind but it seems to become all normal again. My blog suffered a little bit as I couldn't post my last days in Peru and the first days here again.
Let this drawing be a new start after a huge vacation that I needed very urgently!
It feels very good to start with a new spirit. I'm curious for all the other bloggers...how you are doiing. I visit your place very soon and I hope to meet you here again very soon!
