Our Valentine Day

I have never celebrate, because is not part of our Mexican traditions.

But this year a decided it was fine, and having a lovely and caring boy, the idea of making love cards was celebrated.

I was inspired by this and so I made him one like that and he made one for his grandparent.

He made one for me that says I love very much, and Made by Itzcóatl, inside.

I made 3 pans of lasagna and give away two, one for my father and one for Itzcóatl's violin teacher who is a little ill.

Day of the Dead

I had to sleep out for 3 nights and that made very cranky, cause I missed my home and my sewing.

On Saturday an old lady friend came by to the Farmer's Market where I work and we went fabric shopping, I got this leaves fabric, so I made this Kimono, by adapting the Weekend Sewing: More Than 40 Projects and Ideas for Inspired Stitching pattern for my size.

And finally on Monday we made our altar to celebrate the Day of the Dead, we also made the traditional Bread of the Dead (recipe soon), and eat it with chocolate, in water for me (as in the picture) and with milk for Itzcóatl.

I'm having a crisis, I don't think I'm taking motherhood, very well in this days, I need a change.
