<p style="text-align: center;">I´m coming to the point were i´m really, really valuing more handmade gifts. I truly think they are possibly the best gifts.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Cheap, beautiful and made with so much love! what else could I ask for? That they like them? well, yes, of course!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;">So this Crhistmas besides the <a href="http://www.ishtarolivera.com/blog/2010/12/handmade-gifts-regalos-hechos-a-mano/" target="_blank">pins </a>for my sisters, I painted these for my two sons..</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff9900;">Estoy llegando al punto donde realmente valoro cada vez más los regalos caseros. Pienso que son posiblemente los mejores regalos.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff9900;">Baratos, preciosos y hechos con tanto amor! qué más se puede pedir? &#8230;que gusten claro!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff9900;">Así es que esta NAvidad, además de los<a href="http://www.ishtarolivera.com/blog/2010/12/handmade-gifts-regalos-hechos-a-mano/" target="_blank"> pins </a>para mis hermanas, a mis hijos les hice esto:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3749" title="plato01" src="http://www.ishtarolivera.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/plato01.jpg" alt="plato01" width="432" height="494" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Porcelain plates!!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff9900;"><em>Platos de porcelana !!!</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3750" title="plato02" src="http://www.ishtarolivera.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/plato02.jpg" alt="plato02" width="496" height="491" /> In fact I  madre three of these. One for Tuti, one for Keni and one for me ( I couldn´t resist)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And Lucky for me they loved them!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">There are So many ideas out there for making handmade presents!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Knitted ones, painted , sewed, or even baked! possibilities are endless and oh so priceless! yay for handmade! : )</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff9900;">De hecho hice tres de éstos: uno para Tuti, otro para Keni, y otro para mí ( no me pude resistir)</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff9900;">Y tuve suerte,porque les encantaron!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff9900;">hay tantas ideas para hacer regalos a mano!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff9900;">Puedes tejer, pintar, coser o incluso cocinar! Las posibilidades son infinitas y no tienen precio! Bien por lo hecho a mano! : )</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Poor Keni, asking every two minutes if we were going back home&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333399;">Pobre Keni, preguntando cada dos minutos si volvíamos a casa&#8230;</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">&#8230;he did enjoy the walk though! except the part of falling into the frozen pond!!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Yes ,no kidding! of course I dont have any pictures of that!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">A kind soul pulled him out of the water. Luckily he didn´t get his chest wet, sO I took off his soaked boots and trosusers and gave him my coat!! boy taht was a scary moment!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In the end he was fine when we got home and I gave him a hot bath..and all the hugs and kisses I could!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333399;"><em>&#8230;disfruto del paseo la mayor parte del tiempo&#8230;.pero no cuando se cayó al lago helado!!</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333399;"><em>Sí, no bromeo!! claro que no saqué fotos de ese momento! Un alma buena lo sacó del agua. Afortunadamente sólo cubría hasta la cintura, con lo cual tuo el pecho seco.</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333399;"><em>Le quité los pantalones, calcetines y botas y le di mi abrigo. Lo llevé cargando a casa que gracia  a Dios estaba cerca y una vez allí después de un baño caliente y todos los besos y abrazos que pude darle, estuvo bien, no paso de un pequeño catarro!</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3728" title="IMG_0075" src="http://www.ishtarolivera.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/IMG_0075.jpg" alt="IMG_0075" width="359" height="538" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This horse lives in the park..poor thing&#8230;I think he feels very lonely and cold!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333399;"><em>Este caballito vive en el parque&#8230;pobrecito&#8230;da la impresión de que se siente solo y frio!</em></span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Keni said he hoped it wasnt a dream!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It sure was real!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">So white and so beautiful!!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">this is the view from our window..</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">Nieve!!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">Keni dijo que esperaba que no fuera un sueño!!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">Era muy real!!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">Todo tan blanco y tan bonito!!Al m enos 15 cm de nieve o más!!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">Esta es la vista desde nuestra ventana&#8230;</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">You might not believe this, but actually this is my first attempt of making a snowman snowmouse&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">it was very difficult to press the snow with my hands and actually make a ball!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">but I enjoyed myself!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">yay for snowy days like this!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">Puede que no lo creáis,pero este es en realidad mi primer intento de hacer un muñeco de nieve, un raton de nieve&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">era muy difícil comprimir la nieve con mis manos y hacer una bola!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">Pero me divertí tanto!!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">Bien por los días nevados como este!!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear blog readers, I have some very exciting and important news to share with you today!!</p>
<p>Well, first of all let me tell you I wont be here tomorrow. I´m taking a little break and enjoying some summer time! But even though I´m returning on Monday, I wont be blogging because guess what? I´m moving! Overseas. Next week. where???!! To England!! I know I should have told you before but I wanted to be sure  we were really moving. I have had my doubts. I´m very happy living in Aranjuez but it was time for a change. And the good part is that everything is turning out pretty good, which gives me peace of mind!</p>
<p>Right now my house is filled with thousands ( ok, just  a couple of dozens) of boxes! I´m exhausted! but happy at the same time.</p>
<p>So, so, so,so&#8230;.I ´ll return to blog in two weeks! I´ll miss this tiny loving space of mine and of course  I´ll miss you! But I´ll love to share my new adventure when I get back!</p>
<p>See you in two weeks ! have fun and take care!!!  ; )</p>
<p>with love,</p>
<p>Ishtar</p>
<p>PS: thank you for all the sweet names you gave me for my <a href="http://www.ishtarolivera.com/blog/2010/08/watercolor-acuarela/" target="_blank">little forest creature!</a> they were really adorable!!!</p>

<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><em>Antes que nada dejadme deciros que no estaré aquí mañana. Me tomo unas pequeñas, pequeñitas, vacaciones. Me voy al bosque!!! Y aunque regreso el Lunes, no me será posible escribir ningún post! por que sabéis qué? Me mudo!!! la próxima semana. A  INGLATERRA!!! Me hubiera encantado compartir la noticia antes,pero quería estar segura! He tenido mis dudas. Estoy muy contenta en mi querido Aranjuez pero supongo que era hora de un cambio. Lo bueno y que me da ánimos es que todo está saliendo muy bien, y esto me da paz y tranquilidad.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><em>Ahora mismo mi casa está llena de miles( bueno, no tantas) cajas!! Estoy exhausta! pero contenta al mismo tiempo.</em></span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Yesterday my sister came from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_Islands" target="_blank">Canary Islands</a> on a very-very -short visit! just six hours to quickly have breakfast , go for a walk , chat a little and leave her on the train.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">She was taking a flight to Barcelona to visit some friends. It was good to have her here, even for a short time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Oh well, Friday is here already and I´m really looking forward to rest and enjoy spring and draw a little. Do you have any plans?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">See you on Monday dear friends! thank you for joining me and for your lovely words on the tutorial!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="color: #666699;">Ayer mi hermana vino de las <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_Islands" target="_blank">islas canarias</a> para una visita muy-muy- corta! Séis horas para rápidamente desayunar, pasear, hablar un poquito y llevarla al tren.</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="color: #666699;">Iba  a coger un avión para Barcelona y quedarse unos días con unos amigos. Fue muy agradable tenerla aquí, aunque sea un ratito! </span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="color: #666699;">Bueno, el Viernes ya está aquí y espero poder descansar, disfrutar la primavera y dibujar un poco.<em><span style="color: #666699;"> ¿Vosotros tenéis algún plan?</span></em></span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="color: #666699;"><em><span style="color: #666699;"> </span></em>Os veo el Lunes querid@s amig@s, GRACIAS por acompañarme esta semana y por vuestras cariñosas palabras en el tutorial.</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2543" title="wild bouquet" src="http://www.ishtarolivera.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/wild-bouquet.jpg" alt="wild bouquet" width="479" height="718" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">By the way, this flowers were my present for mothers day.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">All the stores were closed so they had to get them by the countryside. So much better! they were so pretty! I love them!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="color: #666699;">Por cierto estas flores me las regalaron los niños y mi marido en el día  de la madre. </span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="color: #666699;">Todo estaba cerrado y se fueron al campo a cogerlas..Mucho mejor y más bonitas! Me encantaron!</span></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">We dont always need to spend our money on expensive art supplies. A walk through the forest or the countryside can provide  us all the material we need. With just a bit of imagination and some simple acrylic paint and pencils we have enough for spending some fun time with our little ones.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I love to show them there are so many treasures in front of us if we are capable of appreciating them. A  simple stone or a pine nut&#8230;beautiful masterpieces.Natures treasures.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><span style="color: #993300;">No siempre necesitamos gastar nuestro dinero en material artístico caro. Un paseo por el campo puede proveernos de todo lo que necesitamos. Con sólo un poco de imaginación y unas sencillas pinturas acrílicas y lápices es suficiente para pasar un rato divertido con nuestros pequeñines!</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><span style="color: #993300;">Me encanta mostrarles todos los tesoros que se nos brindan si somos capaces de apreciarlos. Una simple piedra o una piña &#8230;magníficas obras de arte. Tesoros de la naturaleza.</span></em></p>
