Hello!
After a crazy long time, I finally decided to write something on this blog. I've been extremely busy with a couple of projects that are not my jewelry line, for a change. :)
First of all, we're getting married in less than a month!!! That alone should explain why you haven't seen me around! We're excitedly finishing the last things from our wedding to-do list: talking with the florist, learning to dance bolero and looking for some decorations for our site.
We'll be getting married at the Villa Caletas Hotel, in Costa Rica's Central Pacific coast. Here's a picture of the gorgeous site. :)
My thesis is due in June, so I have lots and lots of work ahead of me. The project consists of two parts: first, a theoretical study of the relationship of art and fashion, fashion as a form of communication and the relationship between fashion and women. The practical part of this thesis is an exploration of the concept of artistic dress through three dresses that have oversized, constrictive and impractical proportions. Right now I've almost finished one of these dresses and the other two are still in progress.
And last but not least... we have a cat! Please welcome little miss Lana, a tiny but astoundingly cute Himalayan cat. She's been with us for about two months now. She loves to keep us company and to closely supervise any activity, especially those related to my thesis (yikes!). She's very energetic and playful, likes to talk a lot and is just a sweetheart. A little bit after we got her, we learned that Lana is affected with feline leukemia virus. This was probably contracted through her mom and dad, and has caused her to be quite susceptible to infections and the like. This whole situation made us extremely sad, and so I urge all cat owners to have your kitties vaccinated against this disease. Lana is under close supervision from her vet and we hope that with lots of loving care she will live with us for many years. :)
Here's the official portrait of Her Royal Cuteness!
A comprehensive list of what Sr. Nuez has eaten/chewed on. He is a very busy pet.
- A pair of dressy sandals (mine).
- My cell phone charger cable.
- My brother's mouse cable.
- Two of my purses.
- About ten different cushions.
- The legs of one table and two chairs.
- A wastebasket.
- A mobile (!!).
- The corks of many bottles.
- A ton of cardboard.
- Soft plastic parts of the underside of various cars.
- Shoes (too many to count).
Please, don't think I'm the worst bunny mom in the world. He is not allowed in the house unsupervised but, you know, he is just that sneaky. Oh, and of course I do not recommend feeding your rabbit ANY of those things I listed.
A little over a year ago, I met this cute bunny. I had been looking for a pet to keep me company, and at first I wanted one of those white bunnies with black-lined eyes (dwarf hot-tots). Instead, I found a very little, cuddly and fun netherland dwarf with lots of personality. He was the only bun in the shop who wouldn't run away from me... he actually followed my hand so I will keep petting him. I couldn't take him home right that moment, so I was a little heartbroken thinking that someone else may take him.
An hour later Ricky showed up at my house with a cardboard box and a tiny bun. I named him Sr. Nuez (Mr. Walnut) and we've been having fun together ever since. I'll tell you more about his crazy adventures next time!
