It has been an agitated month full of nice experiences and feelings. To me it seams "the real essence of Christmas".
Hacía ya bastante tiempo que no veía a mis amigos, asi que fué una buena experiencia el estar con ellos y felicitar a Greg por su próxima boda.
When I finished my patchwork courses, I decided to take a one week vacation in San Francisco to visit my friends and meet my Pojagi teacher. For so long I have not seen my friends so it was a good opportunity to congratulate Greg for his wedding as well.
Michael and Patt, planned to take us to a mistery night walk, close to the Wildcat canyon, it was dark and mud, we walked for at least 2 km. and finally we surprisingly found a very tall Christmas tree full of lights! They took us to the Tilden Park that was especially decorated for Christmas season. We drank hot chocolate and ride the Merry go round, it was so fun!!
Al salir no pude resistir una foto rodeada de estos maravillosos árboles, que rojos tan intensos!!
Next day before party we went to visit Michael and Greg´s mother in Walnut Creek, it was so emotional. Outside, I couldn´t resist a picture surrounded for such a wonderful red trees!
Aqui estamos Sylvia, Cristina de Argentina y yo, hechando relajo en la fiesta, mientras Michael y su grupo tocaban música de los 70´s.
Party was so good and was a good occasion to see my friend Sylvia and make new ones.
Here are Sylvia, Cristina from Argentina and I, having fun at the party, meanwhile Michael and his group were playing music from the 70´s.
They play so good and it´s nice they have been playing for years, it is a very amazing way of do not forget the youthfulness!! We danced and had fun for a long while.
Everybody brought food and beverages. Here are Sylvia and Carrie a friend of Michael from high school.
Cuando la vi, inmediatamente supe que era una mujer muy especial, nos invitó a tomar cafe y platicamos y bromeamos. Michael estaba tan interesado y curioso que se hubiera quedado feliz a la clase con nosotras, ja ja ja. Terminamos el cafe y nos fuimos a su estudio a iniciar el proyecto. Antes me mostró libros de Corea, sus trabajos y platicamos de los materiales y usos de los Pojagis. Despues iniciamos el proyecto.
One day after the party, was the day to visit and to meet Younming. We fixed all day to work at her studio and to have lunch together, she offers to take me back home. We both were a little nervous because we just had been in contact by e-mail.
When I saw her immediately I knew she was a very special woman, she invited Michael and I a cup of coffee and we were talking and jocking. Michael was so curious and interested that maybe he would rather stay with us, ha ha ha. When we finished the coffee he left us and we go upstairs to her studio. She showed me some very interesting pojagi books, her marvelous Pojagis and different materials. Then we started the project.
Time flies and it was lunch time, so she asked me what kind of food I liked because we were going to have lunch out.
No pude resistir la tentación de probar REAL comida Coreana, asi que despues de intentar en dos lugares que no habrieron, finalmente encontramos uno abierto.
I couln´t resist to try REAL Korean food, so after try two places the third was open and she shared with me this experience.
Regresamos a su casa y continuamos cosiendo y platicando, desafortunadamente el tiempo se fué volando y ya estaba obscureciendo así que dejamos el proyecto para que yo lo terminara en casa y me llevó de regreso a casa de mis amigos.
At the place they served us a very delicious spicy seafood soup with tofu joined with a purple rice and so many little dishes with so good things to share. after that, fish, all was so good, I think we ate so much!
We returned her home and continue working and chatting, unfortunately time passed so quick and it was getting dark, so we have to stop the project and she took me back home.
Ese día no solo conocí a mi maestra, tambien conocí a una bella persona con la que tengo muchas cosas en común y a la que ahora puedo llamar AMIGA. Sé que algún dia vendrá a Mexico a visitarme y pasaremos muy buenos momentos platicando y cosiendo nuestros proyectos.
That day I not just met my teacher but a very nice person that I have so much in common and which I can call FRIEND. I know one day she will come to Mexico to visit me and we will pass a very good moments talking and sewing again.
These are the pictures of the projects she taught me, the last pincushion is the project I made with her and finished in Mexico. This experience has been an horizon open door of creative possibilities and feelings. My trip got me closer with my friends, I made new friends and I learned a little bit more of Patchwork. As Youngmin says in her blog: LIFE IS GOOD!
Ahora solo quiero agregar que fué un buen año, que llenó mis expectativas con creces y que quiero dar gracias por todo lo que tengo y lo que he recibido en el camino.
Deseo con todo mi corazón que todos ustedes sean bendecidos y que reciban el proximo año con SALUD AMOR Y MUCHA FELICIDAD.
