Long absence

I wish I could explain what is going on, but the truth is that I don't even know it myself.
The nearest point of comparison right now would be something like: Riding on the storm on a paper boat.

I'm no longer a Homeschooler-mama and I'm really glad I found the right small school for my son... Homeschooling is very, very hard, specially when you do it because you" have to", rather than because you "like to..."
Anyway Todd has a wonderful school 5 minutes from here and he already made many friends and likes it a lot!
Phewww, what a relief, you guys have no idea the weight I had on my shoulders...like what if I'm not teaching him well, or he doesn't know enough or what if he needs more socialisation etc...
Monday he brought his report card for this last period and he has straight As... (OK, I'm totally proud of him of course, but strangely that report card made me as nervous to finally get it as if it was on me) and now that I think, it was on me! ;)

Thank you G-d!!!!

On the other hand I now have to start a business of some sorts again...I'm like a kid with ADHD (and perhaps I do have it) and I can't choose what to do...
First, I'm organizing all my supplies and fabric, taking my machines to the shop for tuning and just getting back on the groove and internet networking...

I'm like the Queen of "Flake" meaning I'm very quick to offer people things and slow to send it...sigh* Oh gosh! how I need help with that...is there a pill to cure it?...
Maybe if I start posting here pics of my craze studio and whatever I come up it will help...

PS: Oldish photo by the way...about a year ago on past Halloween. I found that Goth cross on a custom store and though it was cool.

Missing you...

letters, originally uploaded by ~la paloma~.

I try to stay away from Flickr so I could concentrate on work...and it has worked, but I so miss my friends.
Is truly amazing the bond I have with so many of them, I guess because I see them every day for over a year and I have follow them closely.
I'm still not taking many pictures yes...I need to get my groove back but there are some many things at home that need of my attention at the moment.
Plus I'm still trying to heal from some hurts and stuff...

Yesterday I made cheese bagels with Todd.
We add it some green roasted chili and the are so good!
Recipe:

3 cups of organic white bread flour
2 tsp of salt
1.5 tsp of dried yeast
1 tsp of honey
1 cup of lukewarm water (I had to add more water, about half cup more, not sure if it is because I live in the desert and is so dry here)

Mix all the ingredients and then knead until elastic...
I added now 1 cup of grated cheddar and 1/3 cup of green chili
Let it rest for 1 hour covered and it doubles its size.

Knead again and form balls (about 12) then make holes on the center and put them on a tray lined with wax paper. Let it rest cover for 10 minutes.
Brush it with a mix of one egg yolk and 1 tbs of water and put it on the over at 425 Fahrenheit or 220 Centigrades for 20 minutes...

Oh I forgot!...Todd also wanted to add some poppy seeds and some sesame seeds...:)

Architecture of the Soul

Such a long time without updating the blog.
But I have an excuse...it is on the title..."Random" so yeah...it describes me and yes... I'm not the most faithful writer but I have miss the blog an the nice people I follow.
Sorry for not having visited you all!
I'm depressed.
:( It will go away soon I hope.

Summer time

Summer is very very hot here in New Mexico and we go to the pool often or visit fun places with the kiddos. My favorite has been the library lately where we get movies and books and then go home and make cookies and enjoy the rest of the day.
As for the 365 days projects at Flickr...it proved to be too much too handle...is basically tedious to "have to" make pictures every day rather than just when I want it...so I'm done with it.
That's OK because I will be trying to start a new sewing little business and it was becoming quite the distraction.
That's not to say that I will not post any more Flickr pictures again but only that now I will only post when i "like to"...sounds better that way.

Here is a video that I love!
