Holiday wreath

Our Thanksgiving weekend was filled with little Holiday's projects, eating with friends, and loads of work. While it was strange - specially for boyfriend - to spend Thanksgiving away from family, I believe we are creating our own traditions.

The first project was to finally finish our first wreath before Thanksgiving. I encountered a few bumps on the road. I started the project trying to make a gold wreath which showed impossible, the material I had purchased was difficult to work with and it did not look good. So, I had to go back to the original idea of using a cool yellow wool yarn and here is the result:

Happy Thanksgiving + Thankful for our families

We are greatuful for every moment we get to spend with our families!

 

As the holiday season approaches I can help but think about how grateful I am for our families. 

Boyfriend and I are not easy people, we have chosen weird and rocky paths in our lives and our families have always supported us, our move to Denver, our venture into a new career path, all our crazy thoughts and actions, our search for happiness while we build our little family of two. 

I'm very thankful for having amazing people who come all the way here to spend time with us. Dear family, we love you very much. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello? Anybody there?

 Hello, friends! I have simply disappeared lately. 

And, when I'm in that kind of mood, when negativism is my home, I prefer not to share dark thoughts with anyone.

I've ready this post by Joanna (from A Cup of Jo) about worrying too much and I've been trying out, trying to throw my worries and thoughts inside the Grand Canyon. 

So, since then I've been trying to enjoy myself a little and forget. 

You can see by the photo booth images that we are succeeding! 

This is boyfriend and I being silly, we love a little photo booth time and silly laughs.

So, in that spirit, every year we create our Christmas Cards and send out to close family and friends who, hopefully, will not judge how silly we are!

I'm posting here a few shots from the Christmas Cards and, once everyone has received theirs, I'll post the cards here!

To tell you the truth, we are all in the spirit of the Holidays these days. 

So maybe, I can share with you our small and crazy Holiday projects!
