<br />
Among them there are four kinds if ants, and one of them looks scary, with a big jaw, like I would not like to get a bite from them.<br />
<br />
I work on the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#%21/group.php?gid=211606393288">Feria Verde de Aranjuez every</a> week, it's a farmers market were I sell the cloth diapers, baby slings, mentrual pads, and my sewing inspiration.<br />
<br />
There is a man who sells there a natural repelent for any kind of bugs, not for the skin but for the house, the ingredients are mustard, garlic and hot peppers. I have wanted to buy it, but could not, so I decide to try to do it myself.<br />

I had the ingredients already at home and so I blendes and then spray them around the house, I didn't work so well on the ants, but maybe it will with other bugs.<br />

I din't want to trow away the leftovers so I decide to plant them, since there was complete seeds on them.<br />

We used some cups and milk packages. And dirt from our backyard mixed with cardboard and leaves because it was so much like clay that you could make figures out of it.<br />
<br />
So we will wait and see.<br />

<br />
In Mexico there is a scream (?) for the Independence, as the Father Hidalgo did 200 years ago, by saying Viva la Independencia! and many other things, so the fight starts, actually, he did't say Independence, because the cause was to get better rights for the <i>criollos</i>, the Spanish born in Mexico, who didd't had political power. Also 100 years ago the Revolution start, so, in Mexico this year was a big party, and many of us are unhappy about all the public money that was spent on this. How ever, I wish I could be there, because I miss my Country so much.<br />
In Costa Rica the received the news that they were a free Nation, but there was no fight, in those days Costa Rica belonged to Guatemala, with all the other countries between the two, and were called Capitanía de Guatemala; they were ruled by Mexico, and so the fight consist on gain independence from it. <br />

On September 14th, they celebrated the Freedom Torch by represent it by school kids that walk with one on the streets, later, they have a parade with handmade paper lamps, it's pretty cool, we made one this year.<br />

The big parade starts on September 15th at 8:30, as there is no army in Costa Rica, is the school kids who participate with the flag, dancing and bands. We only went for a little while, since my kiddo was ill.<br />

I go to a kid's music class with my son, the other day the teacher was teaching a little bit of reading music; since then I wanted to make a Music Mat, that would be portable and versatile, and after some days of mental designing this is the result, we still need more notes, but I like it.<br />

That's is the origin of everything.<br />
The first time I used a sewing machine I was 5.<br />
<br />
I can be very selfish, but in general I like to be for others, I feel my purpose in life is to please and please myself by doing it and that I should help other to give sense to my life.<br />
<br />
I love to find the perfect gift for every personality, and I put great effort on it even if the person in not of my affection and I was raised to value handmade over industralized items.<br />
<br />
<br />
In the other hand I like simple projects that can be completed in a few hours and made with natural but cheap materials and -if possible- reuse supplies.<br />

<br />
Here is a napkin set for my father's elementary school teacher who is kind of a mother for him, since his died when he was very young. I love to use this kind of napkins, they have so many uses and save so many trees (I haven't buy paper napkins or tissue for years), but above that they are so soft an become softer with time, and also they are so pretty, they make you feel nourished, as if mama were taking care of you even when you are by yourself and I add a note in lace that says Made with love by Nahuatl (which is my name, an unusual one, Aztec, but that is subject of a different post, I guess).<br />

<br />
When I get orders from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/simplelovingfamily">my store</a> I always like to add a little freebie, a mini purse, a crocheted hair clip, becuase I love to receive that when I purchase on Etsy.<br />

Does it happens to you that sometimes when your mind involuntary relaxes an image comes to you?<br />
<br />
I get images of places of my past, but they are always alone and abandoned, and they make me feel so nostalgic.La Chilihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05399113500946212730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4398913394853632242.post-15192410479081754262010-08-19T14:58:00.001-07:002010-08-19T15:02:32.138-07:00My menstrual cycleSince I took the course <a href="http://centrolamilpa.blogspot.com/search/label/curso">Ciclo Femenino y Fertilidad Consciente</a>, by <a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=18579950">Yeztli</a>, I have been much more aware of my cycle.<br />

<br />
I wish I had knew much before what I know now about it, we are so influenced to consider it annoying that we don't release the beauty on it, we try to stay on a very balanced emotional state since to be changing is associated in a bad way with being with a women, and so we don't see the opportunity that is to have a cycle to start all over very month, and the course open my eyes to that.<br />

<br />
Even when I have been taking register of my cycle since I was a little girl, I always took note only of the first day of it and its duration, but with my new knowledge I was able to determinate my ovulation day, and there I found a pattern, as you can see in this Moon Calendar the orange moons that are my first day don't show anything, but the blues do, and this gave light even about one long period I had (34 days), that was the changing from ovulation in new moon, to ovulate in full moon. And the ovulation day is almost the same day of my period, no matter how much it last. This has help me to not to use any artificial anti conception medicine, which may harm my health.<br />

In this process I have been able to identify the different moods I go through from super cleaning before ovulation, to hipper sensibility to cold during ovulation, to bad mood before my period, and finally to the presence in present during my menstruation, the increase of perception and the connecting with my kid, that I get to only this time at month, is a time of slow down and calm, to heal all wounds.<br />
