Cookies

Here I am again...

Sometimes I feel really embarrassed coz I wish I could post a bit more...I wish I had enough to talk about...

We had a great family weekend at my uncle's ranch. It was gr

eat

being around family. Since my aunt died about three months ago, my uncle feels a bit lonely, so we are always trying to be near him, specially on the weekends when he goes to the ranc

h with his son and daughter-in-law and grandkid. They usually stay there coz that's the place he feels the most comfortable. We also love spending the weekends there... Unfortunately I had to go on Saturday morning, so I spent less time that I really wanted

to.

We are planning now a long holiday to get some more peop

le

together and make a "Survivor" weekend...that was my cousin's idea...one day, the married women cook all meals, the other day, married men cook all meals, and on the third day, single people cook... Well, not only cook, but do all the work: cooking, serving, cleaning...That will be fun!!!!!

Btw, today I taught my students to cook! Yeaaahhhh....we can

teach that to them too!!! We made Chocolate Chips cookies!!! Isn't that amazing??

Check out the pictures!!!

New projects

Hi everyone!

Before I start watching the film "The Others" with Nicole Kidman, I decided to post something...People told me that is a good movie...so, I've to give it a try! I'm pretty scared by this kind of movies, so I turned on the lights before pressing play...

Another thing I'd love to share with you...after reading JJ and Rich's (Kiki's???) post...I felt really bad for myself since my little brother is able to sew and I've never touched a sewing machine before...for that reason, I've decided to learn patch-working... would that be too much for someone who can't sew? Well, I'm pretty good at cross stitching...maybe it will work for me, right?

So, that would be lovely if you could share your experience on patch-working...I've already bought a magazine which teaches us how to make wonderful things...but, those kind of magazines are pretty hard to find around here...patch-working is not a Brazilian thing, you know...

I've also found some pretty amazing small projects on the Internet and printed them already...I just can't say whether I'll be able to make them...

I'll try to buy some fabric next week to start...I really want to make an apron for myself and I was trying to find a project of a chef or something related to kitchen so I can print/copy and put it on.

Well, the movie is about to start...

Miss you all!
