Making movies

Nenas for your information is not easy to keep you guys home entertain, meaning away from the TV.  Lately Ms. Samia enjoys watching TV something she never did, Gamila does not really care for it but seeing her older sister do it she gets into it.  

I have to admit when I used to live in NYC I got into the habit of keeping the TV on at all times, not really watching but listening to it made me feel good not so lonely...and even to these days I turn it on just to keep me company...but company and my eyes glue to it is a whole different story. There are days I let it slide by and yes, you guys watch more TV than what I really want but most of the days we do many things around the house to keep you busy.  

On Sunday we made a movie we had done that before but this time we got to watch it with baba in our projector, I told the girls they could draw a story and then baba and mami could watch it while they told us what it was about it, nenas you were so excited patiently waiting for baba to get home so we could watch the movie.  Samia your movie was about the ponies, Milo your movie was about Dora in the mermaid kingdom.

Headboards !!

For some reason I dislike big furniture maybe is due to the fact that we moved from Colombia and had to leave all our furniture behind, maybe because when we arrived to Miami we did not have any furniture at the beginning and then when we did have it got destroyed by a hurricane. This being said I am against big expensive furniture. Sorry nenas maybe the day you guys get marry you would have a huge wood headboard with huge night tables tocador (spanish for the big piece of furniture with a mirror) etc. I am just against huge china cabinets or dinning tables. I like small practical stuff.


With this on mind I have being battleling with baba to help me make a head board for the bed. I finally convince him so what we had in mind was buying canvas and covering them with fabric. Early Saturday morning we took a drive to Hobby Lobby and Michaels and truly they were kind of expensive since we need 2. So while there baba decided we would make a one with plywood and wood for the sides.


After a trip to the fabric store and the hardware store we were home ready to start on our $50 dollar project that saved us a couple of hundred dollars in a headboard and also with the advantage of changing the fabric when ever I want a different look.

After seeing the last product we had to make one for Samia she loved it.
