<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Grata noticia me he llevado esta semana al enterarme de que varios de mis clientes han mencionado a me&my en el foro "todoboda" <a href="http://www.todoboda.com/foro/viewtopic.php?t=288918" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">http://www.todoboda.com/foro/viewtopic.php?t=288918</span></a> Por supuesto... cada semana miro las visitas efectuadas y de d<span style="font-size: medium;">ó</span>nde vienen... y esta semana para mi sorpresa ... el mayor n<span style="font-size: medium;">ú</span>mero de visitantes vienen de este blog que antes menciono. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Por eso he pensado que ser<span style="font-size: medium;">í</span>a buena idea hacer esta "entrada" mostrando los diferentes modelos de invitaciones de boda de los que dispongo.

Since a long time ago .... I was wishing to make a collection of neck laces and brooches using fabrics but.... I don't know anything about sewing!!!!! Always I have wanted to learn to use a sewing machine but I never found the right time to do it. But ... never it's too late to learn... so... it became one of my new years resolutions. I have bought a cheap sewing machine and Ana (one of my friends) is helping me to learn. The truth is ... I am not very good at that but I suppose it's just practice. I hope so!!!<br />
<br />
If everything goes well ... we will have the new product for the Valentine's Day Market next saturday.

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Por fin... volveré a tener tiempo para hacer lo que más me gusta: DIBUJAR.</span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">La sensación que ahora mismo se ha metido en mi cuerpo no la cambio por nada del mundo...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Comienza una nueva etapa y... con ella comienza la búsqueda de una línea nueva de trabajo... </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Primero fueron líneas imperfectas, masas de color, mucha caligrafia de fondo... </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Luego aparecieron mis personajes de tres brazos y siempre con algo en la cabeza pero dondo todavía predominaban los fondos coloridos y muy elaborados... un poco aburrida de tanto repetir frases en esos fondos que a veces eran incluso mas atrapadores que el prepio personaje... decidí dar un cambio rotundo y con él nacieron esas criaturas limpias, elegantes, serenas, sencillas ... caracterizadas por sus ojos cerrados que invitan a intentar adivinar qué pasa por sus cabecitas. Ahora... todavía no sé lo que toca pero de lo que sí estoy segura es de que me lo paseré genial. Ganitas tengo!!!!</span>Maria Lealhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11861731853322307097noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-169839668734358728.post-38225284006673074912011-12-03T17:22:00.004+00:002011-12-04T13:17:57.047+00:00me&my calendar 2012!!!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0aDPIu-NyPw/TtpaBV50SOI/AAAAAAAAAiM/Ps-Y8O3NkTE/s1600/Calendario_rojo8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0aDPIu-NyPw/TtpaBV50SOI/AAAAAAAAAiM/Ps-Y8O3NkTE/s400/Calendario_rojo8.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">To be honest... after a year working really hard... I feel a bit down. Of course, I really want to carry on but it is not easy sometimes. I have been trying to be a business woman but I am not sure if it suits me. Just I know that I haven't had enough time to draw and feel free for at least half a year... and drawing is what I really like to do. Of course I love to share with you all what I do but because I am just learning sometimes I get lost and as lonely as this beautiful house... But I am sure I will find the way... my way.</span>Maria Lealhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11861731853322307097noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-169839668734358728.post-20432949944693845722011-11-26T18:42:00.000+00:002011-11-26T18:42:57.235+00:00coffee break...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-so0BveQycxc/TtEyMdBy-VI/AAAAAAAAAh8/9HXoUVJggPw/s1600/cafe+reto.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-so0BveQycxc/TtEyMdBy-VI/AAAAAAAAAh8/9HXoUVJggPw/s320/cafe+reto.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
