Monday

Hola todos...

So, this weekend was pretty chill...I went and explored part of the barrio Santa Cruz with Ellen on Saturday, we took some pics, we found the fair-trade shop her housemate had told her about, we went and found the yarn shop that Salud keeps telling me about, and then we made plans to go to a flamenco bar...Unfortunately I didn't feel good when flamenco bar time came around, so I stayed back at the apartment and knitted...

Yesterday, I pretty much didn't do anything...it was nice...Every so often you just need one of those do-absolutely-nothing days, ya know? Well, yesterday was that day for me...However, I must say, I have learned to make "glasses" out of an orange peel...yes, you read that right...It's a trick that Salud showed us; her mom used to do it for all of them...Well, when she showed us the one time, I paid very close attention...and yesterday, we had absolutely MASSIVE oranges, so I figured it would be a good time to try--more room for error when it's a giant orange...well, it turned out beautifully; Salud was proud (or at least that's what I like to tell myself); we took pictures...however, I don't have my camera with me, so I can't show you all...but someday, you will see the pictures...and, if you're really lucky, someday you may see me make you a pair of orange peel glasses... :)

  1. OK, Sarah, I don't usually post comments, but I'm really curious about the orange peel glasses -- you need to clarify for me -- are these drinking glasses or eye glasses? :o)

  2. Well, I think I can answer my own question, now that I read again you wrote a "pair of orange peel glasses"! You'll have to make a pair for everyone to wear at the annual New Year Eve's Party (or a pair that we can drink our sparkling 7-Up in! :o)

  3. Mim, they would be eyeglass-style glasses...they kind of make the wearer look like a fish...but, now you've been warned!

  4. :) I was definitely thinking drinking glasses until I saw the line about a pair of glasses too! You'll have to show us your cool tricks sometime!
