Tinga!

Last Wednesday it was my turn to make lunch at the house, so I decided to make a very common mexican dish, it is called tinga. I thought about sharing the recipe with you since I received a comment from an admired blogger from India! So I thought this recipe might give everyone a closer idea of mexican food.

you will need:
2 tomatoes
1 boiled chicken breast
1/4 onion
2 potatoes /diced
1 cup of green peas
1 chile chipotle
2 pieces of garlic
10 to 15 olives 
salt pepper and oil

first you want to stir frie your onions

there you can add some salt and pepper and the garlic, meanwhile you cut the tomatoes in big chunks and place them on the mixer with 2/4 cup of water, half teaspoon of salt, half of an chipotle pepper and the onions and garlic you just fried. You can find the chipotle peppers in the Hispanic foods isle,they usually look like this:

you only want to use a little bit because they can be very spicy.
 the chicken breast must be shredded, and it tastes better if you make it boil with onions, salt, garlic and some black pepper.

the ingredients must be stir fried as shown and mix the tomato sauce at the end.
Let it cook for about 10 minutes.
once its finished just serve, you can side it with some rice and eat it with some corn tortillas, tortilla chips or tostadas topped with sour cream and some grated cheese.

enjoy!

Hey there! Hola chic@s!

últimamente no he publicado mucho porque andaba pensando que regalarle a mi novio de navidad, y ya lo decidí y quería poner aqui por que el nunca entra a mi blog... sin embargo, ayer me dijo ay mira que bonito tu blog... y yo así! UFFF que bueno que no puse nada de su regalo, también he subido nuevos productos a mi tienda Etsy, aquí unas fotos de los nuevos productos:

My sister Faby was a great model for my etsy shop!!! I think this necklace looks perfect on her, her skin color is just beautiful. She loves tanning under the sun. I also uploaded  my double fabric coinpurse. And my crochet hearts :)

I ave also been working on a crochet headband for my sister and me, we go running, I should say she goes running and I go fast walking very early in the mornings, and we need to cover our ears! she chose the most pretty and cozy white baby yarn.

Trying to start out my own Etsy store

Desde hace ya mucho tiempo he querido abrir mi tienda en Etsy, pero por una o por otra razón no he podido. Ahora le estoy dedicando más tiempo a ese proyecto y estoy haciendo varios productos para vender. Podrán encontrar lo que hago de joyería, animalitos de tela, tejidos, patchwork y quilts, y lo que vaya haciendo en el camino.

Since last year I've been wanting to open my etsy store, but for one thing or another I've been too busy to do it. Finally I am trying to dedicate time to it and start making things to sell.

I've been working on several projects, there will be of course my Jewellery, some stuffed creatures, crochet, probably doll quilts, gift tags for Xmas and things that I make along the way.

So far this is what I got. My favorite is Mr. octopus.

I also like these little crochet hearts, they can be very useful for different things.

Hasta ahora estas son las cosas que llevo, me falta hacer mas joyeria, tomar muchas fotos, arreglarlas y subirlas a Etsy!!!

Making some jewelery/ Haciendo unas piezas.

I used to have a Jewellery bussines with an old friend back in college, and I have been trying to take it back since I finished my Masters because I really enjoy designing and making new stuff. And some money out of it wouldn't be so bad now that I'm out of work, so  I decided to open my Etsy store for which I have to make lots of pretty things to sell.

        

Also I had to make something special for a very dear friend's Birthday, so I decided to make a pair of earrings for my store and a necklace for my friend.

 And this is the final result!

I have proposed to myself make more products to upload them all to my etsy store, I will be telling y'all when its ready!

My heart/ mi corazoncito alfireteado

Finally working on my quilt! trabajando en mi quilt, por fín!!!

I've been wanting so badly to make a quilt since my aunt Tita showed me hers, so finally last year a put my hands in some awesome fabrics, helped by Chelsea, an American friend who actually gave me my first quilt tutorial, so we chose the fabric together, we picked the patterns from her book and she started me on cutting the fabric.

Tiene ya tiemo que he querido hacer un "quilt", desde que vi los que hacía mi tía Tita y me parecieron hermosos, me dije, yo quiero hacer algo asi!!! Por fin una amiga me enseño como, o me dio los tips básicos para hacer uno, me llevo ala tienda de telas, compramos el material y empeze a cortar la tela en pequeñas piezas. 

A bad things is that I lost the patterns and I got all my fabric cut in to pieces, so now I am just trying to put them together as I think it will look good, a good thing is that I will use my creativity to the full.
Lo malo es que perdí los patterns y ya con la tela cortada solo me queda tratar de acomodarlos a como yo vaya pensando qu se ven bien. Lo bueno es que es muy divertido ir viendo las diferentes posibilidades que se pueden crear.

Let me know what you think!
