Estos dias duermo entre rosas. Son las que borde a punto de cruz en estas sabanas cuando era una quinceañera. Este es el ultimo que borde, los otros dos andan por aqui.
Embroidered on bedlinen when I was a teenager. I liked crosstich quite a lot at the time and did two more sets. I enjoy looking at them in the morning when I wake up.

Carnaval 2013
El fin de semana pasado se celebro el Carnaval de Notting Hill. El año pasado lo disfrute mucho y decidi repetir. Me encanta ver esa amalgama de color, imaginacion, musica, texturas, etc. Asi que el lunes me acerque, no pude situarme en la misma esquina (la primera del recorrido), fue en la siguiente, pero debia de ser mejor porque estaba llena de fotografos profesionales, aunque prefiero las que tome el año pasado. Pase tres horas en un momento, pero lo que mas me sorprendio fue el subidon que me dieron, que me duro hasta el dia siguiente. Sera la fuerza de la manada ?
Last Monday I went to see the Notting Hill Carnival parade like I did last year. I enjoy seen such a riot of colour, textures, music and imagination parading on the streets. I went early, placed myself at the beginning of the route and let the colors, music and dance fill me. Three hours went by in a moment and they gave me a high that lasted until the following day.

Helen Rodel y su coleccion con punto de garbanzos - Helen Rodel and her Crochet Popcorn collection
Fue lo primero que se me ocurrio al ver este video de la coleccion de prendas a ganchillo de la diseñadora Helen Rodel para su coleccion del año 2011. El punto tiene una textura muy interesante , aunque he de reconocer que no lo encuentro adecuado para una prenda de verano ya que la repeticion del punto resulta en una prenda gruesa y pesada. Mi madre tiene unas colchas de lana con este punto que tejio mi abuela que abrigan y pesan lo suyo.
I saw this video about Helen Rodel the brasilian fashion crochet designer 2011 collection and my first thought was about the stich she was using on the pieces. I know it as chickpea stich, in UK is called popcorn, a very tactile and interesting stich particularly when used it to define shapes in the middle of flat surfaces as it adds a tridimensional effect. I wonder which type of yarn was used as the stich eats lots of it resulting in heavy pieces if used all over items.
