Cuando mi familia me propuso hacer unos recuerdos (pulseras) para entregar al finalizar los rezos por la partida de mi abuela, aceptĂ© de inmediato, más bien, creo que, hasta yo misma propuse el hacer algĂşn detalle , y es que, me encantan las manualidades, todo lo que sea hecho a mano y me ilusionaba la idea de preparar unas pulseras especiales para compartir con las personas que acompañaron a nuestra familia en esos dĂas tan difĂciles. > When my family suggested I make some keepsakes (bracelets) to give out at the end of the prayers for my grandmother's passing, I immediately agreed. In fact, I think I even suggested making something myself, because I love crafts, anything handmade, and I was excited about the idea of ​​making special bracelets to share with the people who supported our family during those difficult days.
Sin embargo, no calculĂ© bien el tiempo que me tomarĂa hacer cada pulsera. PensĂ© que, serĂa un trabajo sencillo y rápido, ya que, anteriormente habĂa elaborado pulseras de siete nudos, pero, no recordaba que, en esta ocasiĂłn, cada pulsera tendrĂa diez nudos, algo asĂ como un rosario, pero para la mano, además de, una cuenta de acero y una cruz hecha con hilo, y no solo eso, si no que, tambiĂ©n querĂa que tuvieran los mismos acabados que las pulseras que vendo, y eso implicaba trabajar con paciencia y precisiĂłn. > However, I didn't properly calculate how long each bracelet would take. I thought it would be a quick and easy job, since I had made seven-knot bracelets before, but I forgot that this time each bracelet would have ten knots, something like a rosary, but for the wrist, plus a steel bead and a cross made of thread. And not only that, but I also wanted them to have the same finish as the bracelets I sell, which meant working with patience and precision.
Cada pulsera me tomaba aproximadamente diez minutos solamente la parte de tejer los 10 nudos, despuĂ©s debĂa cortar los hilos y quemar cuidadosamente las puntas para evitar que se deshicieran y durarán más. Al principio, podĂa hacer unas diez en una hora, pero, permanecer sentada durante tanto tiempo comenzĂł a afectarme, me dolĂan la columna y la cervical, asĂ que, debĂa detenerme para descansar y escuchar las señales de mi cuerpo para no entrar a sĂntomas más delicados. > Each bracelet took me about ten minutes just to weave the ten knots. After that, I had to cut the threads and carefully burn the ends to prevent them from unraveling and to make them last longer. At first, I could make about ten in an hour, but sitting for so long started to take its toll. My back and neck ached, so I had to stop to rest and listen to my body's signals to avoid developing more serious symptoms.
Además, debo reconocer que, procrastinĂ© ( ay si y bastante). TenĂa nueve dĂas para terminar las cincuenta pulseras que me habĂan encargado mis tĂas, pero no comprĂ© los materiales sino hasta el tercer dĂa, además, durante esos dĂas tambiĂ©n aprovechĂ© la visita de mi hermana, a quien no veo con frecuencia porque vive en otro estado, salimos, fuimos al centro comercial y compartimos momentos muy bonitos y familiares, pero el tiempo fue pasando más rápido de lo que imaginaba. > Also, I must admit that I procrastinated (oh yes, quite a lot). I had nine days to finish the fifty bracelets my aunts had commissioned, but I didn't buy the materials until the third day. During those days, I also took advantage of my sister's visit. I don't see her often because she lives in another state. We went out, went to the mall, and shared some lovely family moments, but time passed faster than I expected.
No fue sino hasta que me quedaban como cuatro dĂas cuando realmente comprendĂ que debĂa terminar el trabajo, asĂ que, me puse manos a la obra, pero, ya era difĂcil completar las cincuenta. Siempre me habĂa preguntado quĂ© harĂa el dĂa en que tuviera tantos clientes que no me alcanzaran las manos para cumplir con todos los pedidos, y de alguna manera, ese momento llegĂł, aunque no en las circunstancias que esperaba. > It wasn't until I had about four days left that I truly understood I had to finish the job, so I got to work. But completing all fifty was already proving difficult. I'd always wondered what I would do the day I had so many customers that I wouldn't have enough hands to fulfill all the orders, and somehow, that moment arrived, though not under the circumstances I expected
Afortunadamente, no estuve sola, mi hermana me ayudĂł durante los dĂas que estuvo conmigo, y mi novio tambiĂ©n colaborĂł cortando hilos y quemando las puntas de las pulseras. La parte de hacer los nudos preferĂ realizarla yo, porque soy muy perfeccionista en ese proceso y querĂa asegurarme de que cada pieza quedara como la habĂa imaginado. Sin embargo, el Ăşltimo dĂa, a falta aun de cerrar pulseras y hacer la Cruz de cada una de ellas, otros familiares tambiĂ©n me ayudaron para poder terminar. > Fortunately, I wasn't alone. My sister helped me during the days she was with me, and my boyfriend also helped by cutting threads and burning the ends of the bracelets. I preferred to do the knotting myself because I'm a perfectionist in that process and wanted to make sure each piece turned out exactly as I had envisioned it. However, on the last day, with only the bracelets left to finish and the cross on each one to be made, other family members also helped me so I could complete the project.
Finalmente, logrĂ© hacer 40 pulseras, diez menos de las que habĂa previsto, y aunque al principio me sentĂ preocupada, porque querĂa hacer más que suficientes, agradecĂ profundamente que hubiera las necesarias para entregar a muchas de las personas que asistieron al Ăşltimo dĂa de los rezos. Incluso me sobraron unas cinco que, despuĂ©s pude darles a quienes se habĂan retirado temprano y no alcanzaron a recibir la suya. > Finally, I managed to make 40 bracelets, ten fewer than I had planned. Although I was initially worried because I wanted to make more than enough, I was deeply grateful that I had enough to give to many of the people who attended the last day of prayers. I even had about five left over, which I was able to give to those who had left early and hadn't received one.
Esta experiencia me dejĂł la enseñanza más importante sobre la organizaciĂłn y la responsabilidad de mi emprendimiento,, comprendĂ que, es necesario calcular correctamente los tiempos, comenzar con anticipaciĂłn y considerar cada parte del proceso. Al mismo tiempo, aprendĂ a valorar la ayuda de mi familia y de las personas que me rodean. No terminĂ© exactamente como lo habĂa planeado, pero sĂ pude entregar un detalle hecho con amor y acompañado por el esfuerzo de muchos, en un detalle para recordar a mi abuela, fue lo más importante. > This experience taught me the most important lesson about organization and responsibility in my business, i understood that, it's necessary to calculate time accurately, start early, and consider every part of the process. At the same time, I learned to value the help of my family and those around me. I didn't finish exactly as I had planned, but I was able to give a gift made with love and the effort of many, a keepsake to remember my grandmother, which was the most important thing.
