Hope to be back pretty soon!

Hi, I know I've been lost! I have been working on other projects I have online. Now I have the extra time to work on my dollies, who are begging me to create or finish them. You have been asking when I will have new dolls and when I will finish my black doll pattern.

After taking a needed break from my dollies! Needed some time to get back the feel and passion when I create my dollies so now I'm ready. I will start slowing as always and enjoying what I LOVE to do.

As I started checking my supplies and see that I have everything avail. I stumble with one supply that now I can't get here since they discontinue to supply it. Well, it's not much what I buy here. Its the Morning Glory Fiberfill from Walmart. This was my only source in Puerto Rico to purchase this and now I'm a little concern with this. I know I can get it oversea for which I already put a couple of orders for this but I also know that this will increase my dolls value. I also understand that Walmart discontinue it in the US and that there are lots of sad doll makers like me with this issue. This started a year back, but I didn't notice until now when I plan to start with my dolls. The fiberfill/polyfil is important for me and I use a lot of it. To bring this to Puerto Rico is a little expensive since the box is big and to make it more affordable it has to be shipped USPS to me. Also I loved Morning Glory fiberfill. There are others that I don't quite like. I will need to try the ones I ordered and see how it goes. As some of you know (those who has purchase my dolls) I firmly stuff my dolls, so I use more of it. This won't minimize the quality of my dolls, since I can't do them differently of what I do until now, so no need to worry.

At least I have two boxes saved from my last purchase a year back, so I have something to start with. :o)

Will keep you posted! :o)

New Black Doll and Pattern / Nueva Muñeca Negra y Patrón

Well, I have been working in a new black doll that I have almost finished! I will be creating a pattern out of this doll so this will take me some extra weeks. I have been ask when will I have a pattern of one of my black dolls. So stay tune!

Bueno, he estado trabajando en una muñeca negra que casi termino. Estaré creando un patrón de esta muñeca así que esto me tomará algunas semanas mas. Me han preguntado cuando tendré un patrón de mis muñecas negras. Así que no se vayan lejos!

More Pictures!!! We are going to Palomino Island. A private island used by El Conquistador. White sand and clear water. Although you need to use water shoes since there is lots of seashells that wont let you enjoy. Our first trip we didnt enjoy too much but the when we went the second time, we had sooo much fun. (We took our crocs!) :o).

Mas fotos!!! Vamos para la islita de Palomino. Es una isla privada usada por El Conquistador. Arena blanca y agua cristalina. Aunque necesita usar zapatos de agua porque hay muchos caracoles que no te dejaran disfrutar. Nuestra primera visita no disfrutamos mucho pero cuando fuimos por segunda vez, lo disfrutamos mucho! (Nos llevamos las crocs!) :o)

I will share this with you... My ninth grade party was here at El Conquistador Hotel at 1976. As a young girl I was amaze by the hotel so cute and the view of the sea. I always dreamed of returning. I said in my mind "one day I will come to stay". This hotel closed for various years (Dont know how much) and then it reopened with a new remodeling and new areas years back. We love to do domestic tourism! We think that we have to know our place (island) first before we know other places. And we haven't been disappointed. We are BLESSED! We have summer all year and beautiful beaches ALL around. What more can you ask for! At last I made some reservations to the hotel. (Its a little expensive for us) and we got there. Although it needs some new TLC it was soooo beautiful. One of my dreams came true!!! I cried so much because I had my gift came true. I made it! I was so grateful to God!!! I gave him soooo much THANKS! He made it possible. I went for it and he made it true!. And what is most rewarding is that I made my dream come true with my own profits from my online businesses. Thats why... DREAMS CAN FLY!!!

Compartiré esto con ustedes... Mi fiesta de noveno grado fue en El Conquistador para el año 1976. Como una joven quede impresionada por el hotel tan lindo y la hermosa vista al mar que tenia. Siempre soñé con regresar. Me dije "algún día regresare para quedarme". Este hotel cerro por varios años (no recuerdo cuantos) y después reabrió con una remodelación y áreas nuevas. Nos encanta hacer turismo interno. Pensamos que tenemos que conocer lo nuestro para luego conocer lo demás. Y no hemos sido defraudado! Somos BENDECIDOS! Tenemos verano todo el año y estamos rodeados de hermosas playas. Que mas se puede pedir! Por fin hice las reservaciones del hotel. (Es un poquito caro para nosotros) y llegamos allí. Aunque necesita algunos pequeños arreglos estaba tannnn hermoso. Uno de mis sueños se hizo realidad! Lloré tanto porque mi regalo se hizo realidad. Lo logré! Estaba tan agradecida de Dios!!! Le dí tantassss GRACIAS! El lo hizo posible. Yo me lo propuse y el me lo hizo realidad. Y los mas gratificante es que logré mi sueño con mi propio ingreso de mis negocios en linea. Por eso... LOS SUEÑOS PUEDEN VOLAR!!!

Our Vacation Week! / Nuestra Semana de Vacaciones

Hi, We (hubby and me) were on vacation last week and had a blast! Here is a sneak peak of one of the pictures. This is the view from our room. We stood at The Conquistador Hotel in Fajardo. We had a deserved treat. Its been years since we had a vacation for us alone, until now. We are always carrying our children. But this time we needed it, all alone. Although I felt a little guilty. (We moms, always, hee, hee) I will post more pictures soon. This is just a tiny part of our beautiful island Puerto Rico.

Hola, Nos (mi esposo y yo) fuimos de vacaciones la semana pasada y gozamos tanto! Aquí tienen una pequeña muestra con una de las fotos. Esta fue la vista de nuestra habitación. Nos quedamos en el Hotel El Conquistador en Fajardo. Han pasado años desde nuestra ultima vacaciones juntos y solos, hasta ahora. Siempre la pasamos con nuestros hijos, pero esta vez la necesitábamos nosotros sólitos. Aunque me sentí un poco culpable. (Las mamas siempre, hee, hee) Posteare mas fotos pronto. Esto es solo una pequeñita muestra de nuestra hermosa isla Puerto Rico.
