Instagram sensation Isabelle Kessedjian has created this adorable doll and amazing wardrobe in crochet! Designs include a wide range of outfits, from school days and bedtime to cute fancy dress costumes and adventures to the North Pole! Discover how to crochet your doll and then personalize her with your choice of hair, clothing and accessories. She even has a cute suitcase to store all of her belongings, which can also double up as a bed! Be aware that crochet terms in the US are different from those in the UK. This can be confusing as the same terms are used to refer to different stitches under each system. All crochet patterns in this book are written in UK and European terms. US crocheters must take care that they work the correct stitches. One way to tell which system is being used in other patterns is that the American system starts with a single crochet, which the UK system doesn't have; so patterns with 'sc' in them can be identified as American patterns.

Samurai Moderno: cómo vivir sin hacerse haraquiri intenta ser una guía imperfecta para afrontar la vida como un reto para actuar, actuar y actuar sin pensar que el mundo es un sitio donde sólo existe bondad o maldad.Por esta razón es que la mujer y el hombre viven en constante dialéctica entre el ser y no ser, así como estar y no estar, convirtiéndolos en seres incompletos. Si no abordamos la vida destruyendo el sistema cognitivo hegemónico nunca se forjará la determinación de actuar con eficacia, pues estaremos condenados a existir como vasallos de intereses ajenos.No se puede seguir existiendo bajo el precepto nacer-crecer-morir, pues dependeríamos de la lógica inmovilizadora de pensar que todo es blanco o negro, premio o castigo, o bien, algarabía o pena.Propone torcer marcos preconcebidos para actuar con eficacia, control y equilibrio, a fin de saltar las barreras de la superación personal

Unsere Haustiere fungieren als Fährtensucher zu uns selbst. Sie kennen den Weg zu einem erfüllten Leben, und wir täten gut daran, ihnen zu folgen. Doch manchmal verstehen wir die Sprache unserer geliebten Gefährten nicht. Und so ist dieses Buch auch ein Dolmetscher, der uns mit den verschlüsselten Botschaften unseres Haustiers vertraut macht. Dr. Wilma Staffa erzählt ergreifende und inspirierende Geschichten aus ihrer Tierarztpraxis, die deutlich machen, dass die Krankheit oder das «sonderbare Verhalten» von Katze oder Hund häufig darauf hinweist, dass das eigentliche Problem beim Menschen liegt. Sie zeigt, wie wir uns dessen bewusst werden und gesund und froh mit unseren Haustieren leben können – aber auch, wie wir uns eines Tages liebevoll von ihnen verabschieden können, ohne den Tod und die Trauer zu verdrängen.
