Ex houses
I finally uploaded some pictures
of our former houses to my Flickr,
you can check them out here.
We've built these houses from scratch,
lived in them for a while and then sold them.

Güatero
I made my beloved hot water bottle(or güatero as they call it in Chile) a quilted cozy.
I made the patchwork with some cotton scraps
and machine quilted it with some wool felt as backing.
I used one of my birdie hand carved stamps to stamp a piece of fabricto give it a more personal touch.
Perfect for these winter chilly nights :)

My original intentions were to make an octopus...but I made this guy with an extra tentacle by mistake (that my boys were happy to point out, heehee) so
enneapus it is :)

Brick by brick in 2008
These are Manolo's drawingsof what will become our new house in 2008.
God willing construction will begin later this month.
This top drawing is what will be seen from the street,
and the bottom one is the view from the backyard.
I will be fun to blog about the whole processof building from the ground up.
Manolo (my talented hubby)designed our house
and will be the contractor too.
Our lot is within walking distance from our lil rented cabin.
