I am happy to introduce Lisa from Sabor a Cajeta. She has made lovely little candle holder covers/wraps that are just so easy to make for anytime of the year. Here is her story.
My passion for sewing began when I was a child. I would see both my mom and abuelita (grandma) sewing these beautiful garments and I wanted to do the same. So I did. I began sewing for my barbies, my dolls and soon enough I was sewing clothes for me. When I was in High School my mom helped me make all my formal gowns. I loved that what I wore was unique, that I wouldn't be caught wearing the same thing some other girl was wearing (and believe me it happened to several of my friends). Then when I was in college I began to sew more and more for me, my room, and eventually my wedding gown (That is the piece of clothing I am most proud of. It was lovely, simple, unique).
Though I didn't completely stop sewing after I got married, I did stop sewing for me. Instead I would sew things like curtains, pillows, bed comforters- you name it, anything to decorate my house. It wasn't until I became a mami that I began to really feel that urge to sew once more. For my little ones. For their friends.
With my little ones I also began to work on more crafts (something I've always loved, but had also put on hold). And because they love it so much, every day I find myself thinking of new ways to keep them entertained.
And that is how this blog was born, to share with others out there my passion for sewing, to share ideas, and yes let's not forget- to post as many photos as I can (another passion of mine ;).
Why Sabor a Cajeta?
Cajeta is very similar to caramel, but made with goats milk. It is deliciously rich, there for one of our favorite things to eat. We add it to everything and I mean EVERYTHING! Milk, smoothies, waffles, pancakes, ice cream, coffee and the list goes on.
Sabor can have several meanings: Flavor or taste. In this case I use it as in the Flavor of Cajeta. The sweet flavor of life.
Fall Inspired Votive's
All the craziness and preparation of Halloween and Dias de Los Muertos is over. Now it's the time to
do some simple fall decorating around my house. I decided to begin by making some decorative fall
inspired votive's.
They truly couldn't be any easier to make. All you need are some glass jars (I like to save those that
come with store bought candles), pretty trims, and a glue gun. That's it!
To make cut your trim to fit the size of your glass, make sure you leave some room for the trim to over
lap. Glue one end, wrap around and finish by gluing the other end.
Tadah! Listo!
Now time to decorate your house.
Happy Fall Crafting!
