Hola a todos! We have reached the third part. Yes! It makes me sad, but it is part of the process. And this last part comes in Spanish hahaha. As you have heard, I hope you enjoy this summary as much as I do. See you in another life! P.S.: Turn the subtitles on!
Hola a todos! I call this series PART OF THREE. Three blogs that I will be uploading soon, are all equally important. Today we are going on a walk down memory lane. I don’t know how it is for you, but for me, the beginning of my studies here was the beginning of another life and I have been reflecting on it in each of my posts. I know that for many it is just another blog, but for me,…
Hola a todos! Since my mini-bag is in process. For this week of recess, I decided to learn something entertaining and “half” new: swimming with my head submerged. And no, it’s not that I don’t know how, but it’s tough for me to swim with my head down (very strange). It all started because I live with two girls from Mexico (Mar and Marisol, I love them) who are lifeguards, and both worked in camps with children. So, they invited…
Hola a todos! Let me tell you… it happened that I started my PRADA bag. Everything was going very well. I followed the instructions of the video, as I told you in my previous blog, but… I kept getting lost with the stitches over and over again. I just couldn’t get the technique down, which was extremely frustrating. I did the first row of circles at least… about five times. Only to realize (when I was about to finally start…
Hola a todos! How are you? I’m doing well, catching up with university, as I’m getting closer to going home every day. I feel excited but a little sad to think about this other life I have created here with different times, friends, and habits. How strange life is; I often realize that we are our own home; home will be where I am and where I choose to share who I am. With that mini reflection, I give way…
Hola a todos! Today I want to tell you how I plan to improve my crochet times. It’s no secret how long it took me to finish my scarf (I apologize), but the truth is that I learned a lot there. I spent half the time getting my stitches wrong and the other half complaining about how slow I was. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but I can tell I’m a beginner. So after doing a little research,…
Hola a todos! Guess what… my scarf is complete! *applause* Thank you, I’m happy and proud too. It looks beautiful and a little short, but at least I’ll be wearing it for the first snowfall in Regina, and I’m excited about that. At the moment, I am on what will probably be my only trip to Canada. We rented a car with Mariela, Marisol, Alexa, and her boyfriend, Jorge (who came romantically from Mexico to see her). We left Regina…
Hola a todos! I hope you are having a wonderful week because I am. I’ve been in Regina for a month and 11 days now (yes, I’m counting the days), and I am adjusting much better. I remember my first two weeks and how I missed my family, and even if that is still the case, I could say that I found something very similar here. I know this is a learning blog, so I would also like to share:…
Hola a todos! I think this is my first post since I started knitting, so I am excited to be writing it. The truth is that I realized that I avoided starting to knit as much as possible because I thought it would not turn out very well, and now I know that it was a mistake. It looks horrible, but it is enjoyable, and now I find doing it everywhere and always, haha. So also, doing a little research,…
Hola a todos! After a day of shopping as a university exchange student (I’m already broke), I decided to try crochet. The idea remains the same: A beautiful cream-colored scarf… only crocheted. My friend and roommate Mariela suggested trying crochet as an excellent place to start. She assured me that she had done it many times, so it was up to me to try, believe and start weaving. So I started my creation very slowly because the fingers need a…
