Yay! I'm answering comments now! :)

Thank you to all of you nice people that helped me figure it out, I will now be answering away!
*Muchas gracias a todos los que me ayudaron, ahora voy a contestar todo todo!

We've been settling into our new place, and we're happy :)
Oli loves her new school, and Marti's starting the week after Thanksgiving (but only 3 days a week). Santiago loves to run around in the little back yard, and I'm in walkable distance from A.C. Moore, what else can I ask for? ;)

*Nos estamos acostumbrando a la casa nueva, y estamos contentos :)
A Oli le encanta la escuela nueva, y Marti empieza la semana despues the Thanksgiving (pero solo 3 dias por semana). A Santiago le encanta correr en el fondito, y yo puedo caminar a A.C. Moore, que es una tienda donde venden lana!!!, que mas puedo pedir? ;)

The kitchen is really cute... it's very 70s, and it even has an ironing board that folds down from the wall! how cute is that? (for show, since I don't ever iron!)
The attic is really nice, and big, and has high ceilings. Franco wants to claim it as an office. My "work room" is full of all the boxes that we haven't opened yet, so the couch is still my office ;)
The only thing that I really really don't like is the Barbie bathroom upstairs. It's really pink.
Pink tub, pink tiles, & it used to have pink toilet & sink. We changed those, but it's still pretty pink... I hope some day we'll have $ to change it, but for now, pink it is!

*La cocina es re linda, re 70s, y tiene una tabla de planchar que sale de la pared, de una puertita de madera, a-do-ra-da (para pinta nomas, porque yo no plancho ni de casualidad).
El atico es grande, y tiene techos altos. Franco lo quiere agarrar de oficina. Mi "cuartito de tejer" esta lleno de todas las cajas que todavia no hemos abierto, asi que mi oficina oficial sigue siendo el sillon del living :)
Lo unico que no me gusta ni ahi es el baño de arriba, que parece el bañito de Barbie, todo es rosado, los azulejos, la bañera, y antes hasta el inodoro y la pileta, pero antes de mudarnos los cambiamos. Igual sigue bastante rosadito el asunto... espero en algun momento de nuestra vida tener $ para cambiarlo, pero por ahora, seguira rosado y horrible.

That's it for today!
Tomorrow we're spending Thanksgiving with some friends. Oli brought the cutest turkey thingie from school today :)
Thank you again for helping me figure out the message thing.
Happy Thanksgiving!
:)
Ana

ps: What do you think of the new layout?
pd: Que les parecen los colores nuevos?

Answering comments

Hola! We're in our new house, surrounded by boxes! Now I'm procrastinating the UNpacking -I've been doing a lot of it, though, but this morning I feel like "resting"
I'm trying to configure the blog so I can answer your comments from the comments form and it's driving me nuts! I tried doing this: http://thisischen.com/2009/04/how-do-i-reply-to-comment-on-blogger.html but it's not working... does anybody know some html? Help! :)

**Hola, ya estamos en la casita nueva, rodeados de cajas! Desde que nos mudamos (el martes) estoy arregla que te arregla, barre que barre, y hoy estoy muerta, me voy a tomar la manhana!
Estoy tratando de configurar el blog para contestar los comentarios, y no me sale! Estoy tratando esto: http://thisischen.com/2009/04/how-do-i-reply-to-comment-on-blogger.html pero nada... alguien sabe html y me puede ayudar? :)

What to do when you're moving and have three million things to pack and organize?

Well, crochet, of course! (I'm the worst procrastinator in the planet)
I made a little puppy, and then one with a dragon outfit :)
(The patterns are in the shop if you want to make your own)

*Que se hace cuando uno se esta por mudar y tiene tres millones de cosas para hacer?...
Un poquito de crochet, OBVIO! (Soy la peor)
Hice un perrito, y despues otro disfrazadito de dragon :)
(Si quieren hacer unos, los patrones estan en la tienda)


My excuse (to myself) was that it's difficult to try and pack with the girls around, so I just had to help Oli with her embroidery (she can't thread the needle yet)... isn't this the cutest?

**Mi super excusa (a mi misma) fue que nada, es re dificil tratar de poner cosas en cajas y tal con las nenas en la vuelta, asi que le tuve que ayudar a la Oli con su bordado (todavia no puede enhebrar)... no que le quedo re lindo?


& then the girls went to bed, and Franco had to prepare classes, and I was tired (...), so I made this Super Hero cutie stamp for hola

**& despues de que las nenas se fueron a dormir, Franco tuvo que preparar unas clases y que se yo, y yo estaba re cansada (...), asi que hice el sellito este de una nena super heroe :)

& then the guilt started eating me up and today I boxed almost all my clothes, and all the girls' clothes, & I have a midterm, so I'm going to go study.
I really HATE the moving process, I can't wait for it to be over and be in the little house. I'm really excited, though. Did I tell you that my yarn is taking a little room over? :) :) :)
That's it for today, wish me good luck!

**La verdad que me acoste sintiendome medio culpable, asi que hoy casi casi termino con toda la ropa de las nenas y la mia, y como tengo un parcial hoy de noche ahora me voy a estudiar.
La verdad que ODIO el proceso de la mudanza, quiero estar en la casita nueva ya mismo. Che, les dije que mi lana va a tener su propio cuartito? :) :) :)
Bue, las dejo por aca, beso!

This is what i need right now...

8 arms! I HATE packing, I hope you're having a nice Sunday :)

*Necesito 8 brazos para ayudarme con la mudanza! Espero que esten teniendo un domingo re lindo :)

Halloween

Can you believe we're a month away from Halloween? You can tell you're getting old when years just fly! Oli's already thinking about her costume. The girl that always liked pink and princesses now likes blue and wants to be a pirate... I have to admit I like it a lot better :)
Marti couldn't care less about what she wears, but she wants to go trick-or treating, so she'll probaly end up wearing one of Oli's old costumes.

Are you guys getting ready for Halloween? & for the cold?!!!

No parece mentira lo rapido que se esta yendo este año? (cuanto mas vieja mas rapido se me pasa el tiempo!) En un poquito mas de un mes se viene Halloween... Oli ya esta planeando lo que se va a poner. La nena que queria todo rosadito, todo de princesas y que se yo ahora le gusta el azul, y quiere disfrazarse de pirata... yo feliz :)

A Marti no le interesa ni le preocupa lo que se va a poner, solo piensa en los caramelitos que le van a dar, asi que probablemente termine usando uno de los disfraces de antes de Oli.

Por donde uds estan los nenes salen a pedir caramelos y tal? Cuando yo estaba en Uruguay nunca, pero me parece que ahora estan agarrando la costumbre...

Hablamos pronto/Talk to you soon :)
The pumpkin monster is my new Halloween pattern/El monstruo es mi patron nuevo para Halloween :)

Holidays Savings...

This is going to be super fast. I just wanted to let you know that I lowered the price of almost every single pattern in the shop... times are hard, and the holidays are getting here super fast. It's time to start crocheting some gifts! ;)
Hug!

Este va a ser re cortito. Solo les queria contar que baje el precio de casi todos los patrones en la tienda... 'ta dificil la cosa, y encima se vienen las fiestas!
Es hora de empezar a tejerer regalitos ;)
Abrazo!

Finally a new pattern!

Ever since my dad passed away I've been having the worst time coming up with new toys :(

But then last week I was thinking about the toys I really really liked when I was little, and they were always the ones with clothes and accessories and little extra things that got lost all the time :)

So I made these two "AmiFriends" with removable clothes and lots of ideas for new clothes and friends and little stuff. Oh, the possibilities!

**Desde que se murio mi padre que me esta costando horrible pensar en juguetes nuevos :(

Pero bueno, la semana pasada me puse a pensar en los juguetes que me gustaban a mi cuando era chica, y eran siempre los que tenian ropita y accesorios y cositas chiquitas extras que siempre se perdian :)

Asi que hice estos dos gatitos, con ropita que se les puede sacar, y un monton de ideas para amigos y mas ropa y cositas...

Look! I've already made the little girl some Halloween customes :)

**Miren! Ya le hice unos disfraces para Halloween a la nena :)

AmiFriends 1 is already posted in the shop, & it includes the two cats, her dress & his pants and shirt :)
**Ya puse el patron 1 en la tiendita, e incluye los gatos, el vestidito blanco, los pantalones y el bucito :)

It's so nice and cozy and rainy here, I love it!
**Hoy esta lindo y lluvioso, y tengo ropa abrigada, me encanta!
