A mi me encantan los regalos hechos a mano, porque no solo es saber hacerlo, es tambien el amor con que lo haces lo que me hace querer aun mas ese regalo, tanto recibirlo como darlo.
Para cuando nuestro bebe nacio hicimos unas franelas para cada miembro de la familia las cuales usamos cada mes cumplido, y quedaron tan bien que me encanto la idea poder personalizar las franelas, asi que para mi pequena y para mi hice unas "matching shirt" y para mi esposo como regalo de navidad queria tambien hacerle una, porque creanme para mi es muy dificil encontrar algo que regalarle a el, primero porque el nunca necesita nada, incluso cuando lo pregunto que si hay algo que quiere siempre dice que nada, y segundo de hacerle la franela, que diseno usaria?
Antes de todo esto yo habia dicho que me gustaria hacerme una franela a mi con el motivo de la harina pan, porque representaria todo lo que soy y de donde vengo pero entre una cosa y la otra nunca me la hice, asi que entre pensando y buscando un diseno para el, me dije: le voy hacer esa misma franela a el, porque estaba segurisima que le iba a gustar la idea, porque el sabe lo que representa para mi y hasta para el.
Es ahi donde viene la otra parte de la historia, el sabe que usando esa franela esta representando una historia, un pais, una cultura y es ahora asi como veo mi matrimonio con el.
Aqui no solo se mezclan dos personalidades totalmente diferentes, tambien forma parte la mezcla de nuestras raices y culturas, el no puede ser mas Americano y yo bueno Venezuela la llevo en mis venas, y aunque al principio, tengo que ser sincera, pensaba que todo tenia que ser como yo decia a lo venezolano o no iba a estar feliz, mas por mi miedo a olvidarme de lo que soy y de donde vengo, me di cuenta que no hay nada mas divertido aprender tambien de la cultura de el, que me ensenara lo que su cultura y su manera significaba para el.
Dejo esto por aqui, siento que medio mocho pero volvere a escribir en una siguiente oportunidad.
Dejame algun comentario si te gustaria leer mas de estas historias.
Si llegaste hasta aqui, Muchas Gracias.

I love handmade gifts, because it is not only knowing how to do it, it is also the love with which you do it that makes me want that gift even more, both receiving and giving it.
By the time our baby was born we made some flannels for each family member which we used every month, and they were so good that I loved the idea of being able to personalize shirt, so for my little one and for me I made a “matching shirt” and For my husband as a Christmas gift I wanted to make one too, because believe me it is very difficult to find something to give him, first because he never needs anything, even when I ask him that if there is something he wants he always says nothing, and second to make the shirt, what design would I use?
Before all this I had said that I would like to make a shirt to me with the desing of the Harina Pan arepa flour, because it would represent everything that I am and where I come from but between one thing and the other I never did it, so between thinking and looking for a design for him, I said to myself: I'm going to make that same shirt for him, because I was sure he would like the idea, because he knows what it represents for me and even for him.
That's where the other part of the story comes, he knows that using that shirt is representing a story, a country, a culture and that is how I see my marriage to him.
Here not only two totally different personalities are mixed, also the mixture of our roots and cultures is part, he can not be more American and I haveVenezuela carry it in my veins, and although at the beginning, I have to be sincere, I thought that everything I had to be like I was saying to the Venezuelan or I was not going to be happy, but because of my fear of forgetting what I am and where I come from, I realized that there is nothing more fun to learn also from his culture, and his way meant to him.
I leave this here, I feel half a bit but I will write again at a later opportunity.
Leave me a comment if you would like to read more of these stories.
