Yes we can!!!!!!

Yes we can!

For more that 50 years, my little island, Cuba and the U.S. haven't had good relations. These tensions affect the daily lives of millions of Cubans. It is time to end this chapter forever. We can do something to change the future of millions of human beings. That is why we ask you through this blog to sign the petition for Michelle Obama visit to Cuba, and change forever the fate of the island. She can do a lot, just with going. She has all the power to do so and if she want to, no one should stopped her . If this happens, I'm sure that will change forever the destiny and mark a new future for Cuba and Cubans.

Do the right thing, your help is important now! To sign the petition here.

Helping Cuban People!!!!!!

As a Cuban I feel the desperation of thousands of people who have lost their homes through the 3 hurricanes, Fay, Gustav and Ike, that have so far beaten to Cuba. The images are devastating, not much need to see how the Cuban people that suffer because of this.

The UN estimates the cost of the damage at between $3bn-$4bn.

That's why during the month of September to 50% of all sales of my stores in Etsy will be donated to Cubans who have been affected by the strong impact of nature.

Como una cubana que soy siento la desesperacion de miles de personas que han perdido sus casas a traves de los 3 huracanes, Fay, Gustav e Ike que hasta ahora han golpeado a Cuba. Las imagenes son desoladoras, no necesitan de mucho para ver como el pueblo cubano esta sufriendo por este motivo. Es por eso que durante el mes de septiembre el 50% de todas las ventas de mis tiendas en Etsy sera donado para los cubanos que han sido afectados por el fuerte impacto de la naturaleza.

Handmade Dolls Made By My Mom

My mom is a very creative and talented person. When I was a little kid she made us all our clothes to my two sisters and me. Beautiful dresses, trousers, skirts, even underwear. I inherit my creativity from her and I feel so much pride in that. For several years she has been dedicated to making rag dolls and possibly the number of dolls that she has made so far are close to 1000. Here are a small sample of her work. You can find them in my store Muapurses.

Mi mama es una persona muy creativa y talentosa. Cuando era pequena ella nos hacia la ropa a mi y a mis dos hermanas. Hermosos vestidos, pantalones, sayas, incluso la ropa interior. De ella herede mi creatividad y siento mucho orgullo por eso. Desde hace algunos anos ella se ha dedicado a hacer munecas de trapo y posiblemente el numero de munecas que ha hecho esta cerca de los 1000. Aqui hay una pequena muestra de su trabajo. Puedes encontarlas en mi tienda Muapurses.
