But I cant go without tell you that I really have good times with you, I learned a lot about crafts and enjoy it :-), but most important I learned about courage, persistance, respect, friendship, kindness and generosity. You really are going to be in our hearts(my mom, my sister and I). You have a home in Ecuador, come to visit us.<br />We are planning to start a branch of Minerva Club in Ecuador, my mom is really into it, I will sent pics if we finally make it.<br /><br />Thanks again for everything<br />Claudia<br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a title="claudia by dozodozo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3378195676/"><img alt="claudia" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3636/3378195676_6553fc9e57.jpg" width="500" height="375" /></a></p><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a title="Maria Emilia planchando by dozodozo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3378453943/"><img alt="Maria Emilia planchando" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3458/3378453943_1f41962ea1.jpg" width="440" height="500" /></a></p><br /><p align="center"><a title="Gaby by dozodozo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3404310735/"><img alt="Gaby" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3470/3404310735_d5a5354354.jpg" width="500" height="375" /></a></p><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a title="la familia entera by dozodozo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3378453945/"><img alt="la familia entera" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3378453945_738dd2d190.jpg" width="500" height="375" /></a></p><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a title="DSCF0825 by dozodozo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3546988659/"><img alt="DSCF0825" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3550/3546988659_23c2da4480.jpg" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>Carmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09473782678570150247noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30257502.post-38750811182017242432009-09-20T23:24:00.007-04:002009-09-22T21:01:55.690-04:00Apple crisp<div align="center"><a title="DSCN4306 by dozodozo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3939992260/"><img alt="DSCN4306" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3524/3939992260_1f764d3828.jpg" width="500" height="375" /></a><br /><br /></div><div align="left">Once again our Sunday's meeting became a bit more crowded than many other Sundays this summer.

It looked like most of us had other things to do. We had though, the pleasent visit of our friend Clara, who used to live here and used to come frequently to our meetings. She is so talented and such a nice person that we were all happy to see her and impressed with her creations, as always.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3670497046/" title="DSCN3517 by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3670497046_84d9113047.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="DSCN3517" /></a></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3670497976/" title="DSCN3518 by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3336/3670497976_57d4455592.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="DSCN3518" /></a></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="left">As for the rest of us, we were catching up with crochet, dress making, crosstitch and me...well I guess I'm just the webmaster and the one who yells at Luca while he runs wild in the room with his friend Akiko.</div><div align="left"> </div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3670498810/" title="DSCN3519 by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2549/3670498810_9c06b0d54f.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="DSCN3519" /></a></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3669695417/" title="DSCN3520 by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2583/3669695417_85fe8b979d.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="DSCN3520" /></a></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3669696269/" title="DSCN3521 by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3334/3669696269_462b600db5.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="DSCN3521" /></a></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="left">And this is something from a couple of weeks ago.

I knew most people woudn't be there because of father's day and it just makes it hard for me to come and entertain my son while there are no other kids his age for him to play with. But to my surprise, so many of my friends came and also a new member, which made it even more interesting! I am happy I ended up going, it cheered up my day. Luca was a good boy and he had fun just as usual by himself.<br /><br />He is the one who took this picture of us, before he dropped my camera and almost broke it (I think is back to life now!).<br /><br /><div align="center"><a title="Gladys, Carmen, Juanita by dozodozo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3649413740/"><img height="322" alt="Gladys, Carmen, Juanita" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/3649413740_b86e495961.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="left">Proof that he had fun, look at his dirty feet!</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="center"><a title="Dirty feet by dozodozo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3649413594/"><img height="500" alt="Dirty feet" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3358/3649413594_2fa31b4533.jpg" width="259" /></a></div><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="left">And everyone else did too! </div><br /><div align="left">Bridgett working on a dress:</div><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="center"><a title="Brigget making a dress! by dozodozo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3648605321/"><img height="500" alt="Bridgett making a dress!" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3642/3648605321_d3b8fde33f.jpg" width="375" /></a></div><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="left">Teri working on her quilt top:</div><div align="left"></div><br /><p align="center"><a title="Teri working on her ancient quilt by dozodozo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3648606041/"><img height="500" alt="Teri working on her ancient quilt" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3314/3648606041_59ab304d73.jpg" width="375" /></a></p><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Her beautiful quilt top made of clothes by the great grandmother of her friend, and ancient piece of work!</div><div align="center"><a title="Teri's quilt by dozodozo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3648643775/"><img height="500" alt="Teri's quilt" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/3648643775_d86ea5181c.jpg" width="375" /></a></div><br />Gladys teaching our new friend Zahra how to crochet flowers.

Three women and a little girl that have filled us all with joy and shared so much with us that we will miss them and hope to see them again (very soon Lisseth) in the future.<br />We had a little party for them that turned out to be bigger than we expected, lots of kids, another party of nice friends outside and wonderful treats to share. But the best of all, great friends and an emotional farewell.

She also learned some, among others, patchwork and quilting. She barely had time to make too many projects here but she managed to continue back in Ecuador, to teach it to other and to make wonderful things like these that she just showed us this week.

Pilar taught us how to make meringue cake. Not only she had all the instructions in English and Spanish but she also had a bunch of tricks under her sleeves! We were a nice crowd, hosted by our dear Gladys in her home. We learned how to make meringue and how to put the cake together. It was really amazing! So soft and creamy and light and fluffy mmmmm way to go Pilar!

I can tell you that this time most already knew what they were doing because we got to the middle of the workshop in just one meeting! Last time it took us about 5 weekends! Now, some of them used the sewing machine for the first or second time so to all of you keep up the good work and you will be very happy with the results!!! I guess it helped that we were a smaller group and also that Luca was enjoying aa nap with his grandparents instead of running around.<br />We will have more of this next weekend!<br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a title="working girls by dozodozo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3378196376/"><img height="375" alt="working girls" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3628/3378196376_4c99021f56.jpg" width="500" /></a></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a title="claudia by dozodozo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3378195676/"><img height="375" alt="claudia" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3636/3378195676_6553fc9e57.jpg" width="500" /></a></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a title="gladys by dozodozo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3377377961/"><img height="500" alt="gladys" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3469/3377377961_e944b02710.jpg" width="375" /></a></p><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a title="Maria Emilia planchando by dozodozo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3378453943/"><img height="500" alt="Maria Emilia planchando" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3458/3378453943_1f41962ea1.jpg" width="440" /></a></p><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a title="la familia entera by dozodozo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3378453945/"><img height="375" alt="la familia entera" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3378453945_738dd2d190.jpg" width="500" /></a></p>Carmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09473782678570150247noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30257502.post-45725645796538695232009-03-16T22:10:00.003-04:002009-03-16T22:57:57.754-04:00Easter eggsThis week we had a guest coming to our group to teach us something totally new for us.

We couldn't meet in our regular meeting room so we decided to go to the lake instead. The weather couldn't have been more beautiful and it was as pleasant as it could be. It is always a pleasure to meet with all my friends, we have such a great time that I am eager to get to 4pm on Sundays to see them all. Luca was sleeping all the way to I was able to do something productive! We will meet again there next Sunday until the weather becomes too hot.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3343525969/" title="DSCN1959 by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3663/3343525969_86f3c58861.jpg" alt="DSCN1959" width="500" height="375" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3344359210/" title="DSCN1955 by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3587/3344359210_0f08730a80.jpg" alt="DSCN1955" width="500" height="375" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3343524547/" title="DSCN1954 by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3345/3343524547_1eac986fbc.jpg" alt="DSCN1954" width="500" height="375" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3344358940/" title="DSCN1953 by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3593/3344358940_f995152977.jpg" alt="DSCN1953" width="500" height="375" /></a><br /></div><br />Carmenes pretending they are working:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3344360002/" title="DSCN1957 by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3413/3344360002_69a7187513.jpg" alt="DSCN1957" width="500" height="375" /></a><br /></div><br />The truth, we were just posing for the the picture:)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3343525143/" title="DSCN1956 by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3382/3343525143_78077bd30d.jpg" alt="DSCN1956" width="500" height="375" /></a><br /></div>Carmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09473782678570150247noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30257502.post-6886098116388461462009-02-17T14:34:00.003-05:002009-02-17T17:16:55.811-05:00New week, new facesWe had a younger addition to our group, Akiko was learning how to make needlepoint with the help of her mommy.<br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a title="DSCN1727 by dozodozo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3288564974/"><img height="500" alt="DSCN1727" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3546/3288564974_5291104460.jpg" width="375" /></a></p>Everybody else seemed to be deep into the embroidery project that carmen (from Bolivia) is teaching us.<br /><br /><p align="center"><a title="DSCN1728 by dozodozo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3287747047/"><img height="500" alt="DSCN1728" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3272/3287747047_c047e675d0.jpg" width="375" /></a></p><p align="center"><a title="DSCN1729 by dozodozo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3288566118/"><img height="375" alt="DSCN1729" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3422/3288566118_a44a14fbb7.jpg" width="500" /></a></p><p align="center"><a title="DSCN1730 by dozodozo, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3287748217/"><img height="500" alt="DSCN1730" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3382/3287748217_fb88fb43ef.jpg" width="375" /></a></p>And great sweets for dessert.

It is for sure so much fun, not only because of the amazing creativiness that it forces all of us to bring to the group but specially because it is one of those unique days in the year that most of us gather. We just missed the 3 friends who from far away also exchanged their creations. We missed you! And specially for you I post these pictures today, to show you what happened to be a wonderful Secret Santa party in the middle of January.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a title="DSC05809 by

But someone has to be on top of things to make sure we don't let it go, we don't let it disappear. I try to do that, keep up with emailing, with the commons room, organizing workshops, etc, because I am not a student and I am not working either. I do have many personal responsibilities but I try to work around them. I think this group is important, it is for me, and I know it is for so many others.<br />I love the feeling of sharing knowledge without expecting anything back. And this is going on here a lot. There are so many woman that have so many things to share, that otherwise maybe one would never get a chance to learn that it makes an amazing opportunity for all of us to be "touched" by someone special. I also think that it s a nice and warm support group for many. I have seen so many people coming by, like Clarita, that didn't expect to have any social activity during her stay in Gainesville, but in turn, she ended up making some nice connections with a lot of people. The gratitude that she showed in her comment in the "Random" post shows it all. It was a privilege to get to meet her. A humble and friendly woman who had lots to share, not only crafts, but also affection. Those friendships stay and will remain in our memories, like many others that came and left before her. Thank you for participating in this group, it is wonderful to be a part of it.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3080112510/" title="DSCN0913 by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3251/3080112510_2127ddd72b.jpg" alt="DSCN0913" height="375" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3079277571/" title="DSC01142 by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3182/3079277571_da4e966bf7.jpg" alt="DSC01142" height="375" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/3079277681/" title="IMG_5091 by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3296/3079277681_ee52dd3e07.jpg" alt="IMG_5091" height="375" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/2925211826/" title="done! by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3197/2925211826_3e286d19a4.jpg" alt="done!" height="375" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/2899531264/" title="Happy at the results by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3144/2899531264_b36b0ccb9e.jpg" alt="Happy at the results" height="375" width="500" /></a><br /></div>Carmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09473782678570150247noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30257502.post-84065808898761173182008-10-28T21:21:00.002-04:002008-10-28T21:32:37.602-04:00RandomThis Sunday was a bit of random activities.

Little John, Teri's son, was working in his quilt! Yes! Unbelievably this little boy is hand quilting a beautiful quilt that he has been working on since he was 7. You see!

Just one type of knot and two steps to it. You just have to have all your fingers working with you synchronized and once in a while you need to take a deep breath.<br /><br />It was so much fun, and I am addicted to it! I do it every single minute that I am waiting on something since it's so little and I can carry it in my purse!<br /><br />Clarita was a great teacher! And she left pattern reading and making for next week, which is good because it is too much information all at once and I would really like to learn both.<br />Thank you so much! We will proudly pass this tradition along to more people who might enjoy it!<br />Thank you so much Clarita!!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/2941674989/" title="All of us by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3283/2941674989_3bc325a87f.jpg" alt="All of us" height="375" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/2942532314/" title="Even little Maria Emilia by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3029/2942532314_eeb68f66d6.jpg" alt="Even little Maria Emilia" height="500" width="375" /></a><br /></div>Carmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09473782678570150247noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30257502.post-7455810386022130792008-10-08T15:13:00.002-04:002008-10-08T15:25:12.326-04:00Zippered pouch workshop!After a long time holding my promises up in the air, finally I got to teach my "students" how to make something with a zipper.

It came from a kit, but allowed us to create nice designs with colors and shapes of our own taste.<br />We first cut pieces or colored soap that she had previously made at home.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/2898675999/" title="ready? by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3114/2898675999_b41732db0f.jpg" alt="ready?" height="375" width="500" /></a><br /></div><br />Then we mounted it in a mold and prepared the embedding soap that was going to surround it. We added aroma and color to our taste and then we let it cool off.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/2898681253/" title="in molds by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3279/2898681253_67b669efb3.jpg" alt="in molds" height="375" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/2899523736/" title="happy to learn by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3022/2899523736_ac217a121d.jpg" alt="happy to learn" height="375" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/2899522760/" title="mix mix mix by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3057/2899522760_3ddd6e4497.jpg" alt="mix mix mix" height="375" width="500" /></a><br /><br /></div>In the meantime, we learn how to wrap presents with fabric.

People don't use lunch boxes but rather, take a beautiful fabric and wrap it up leaving a handle so it is easy to carry. It is an art! I loved doing it for this project. We also stamped the fabric, the paper that we put on top of the plastic wrapping and the little bags of bath salts that were part of this present.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/2899520748/" title="colorful stamps by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3231/2899520748_fd69e099ba.jpg" alt="colorful stamps" height="375" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/2898682349/" title="decorating the paper by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3195/2898682349_756a494a1d.jpg" alt="decorating the paper" height="375" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/2898683293/" title="mix well by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3013/2898683293_4857a4c34f.jpg" alt="mix well" height="500" width="375" /></a><br /></div><br />We were happy with our creations.

It was something new to a lot of us and it was a lot of fun.<br />Carolina was our teacher. She is really good at doing things with paper and she taught us how to make a paper cube, which looks like origami, to put pictures around it. Kind of like picture frames in a cube.<br />We had some new guests and it was a lot of fun creating something so new and simple! Thank you so much Carolina! It feels good to create new things :)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/2898690797/" title="Team work! by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3183/2898690797_cc4b66734f.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Team work!" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/2898691839/" title="New girls! by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3230/2898691839_24aa21981a.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="New girls!" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/2898692831/" title="Luca thirsty by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3168/2898692831_6680086b04.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Luca thirsty" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/2898693893/" title="Carolina and grandma by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3004/2898693893_cdc1364094.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Carolina and grandma" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">And as always, there was some quilting going on!<br /><br /></div><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/64248598@N00/2899533216/" title="Even quilting! by dozodozo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3174/2899533216_6b6b2169dd.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Even quilting!" /></a><br /></div>Carmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09473782678570150247noreply@blogger.com0
