Benvinguda Montse, espero que disfrutis molt

Welcome Montse, I hope you enjoy it a lot.

amb la nostra conversa i si et sembla,

with our conversation and if you agree,

ja podem començar.

We can start now.

Em pots explicar com comença el teu dia a dia?

Can you explain to me how your day-to-day starts?

Bon dia, primer que res.

Good morning, first of all.

Bon dia.

Good morning.

Doncs mira, jo...

Well, look, I...

Sóc molt matinera,

I am very much an early riser,

allà a les sis ja m'aixeco

There at six I already get up.

i el primer que faig és el cafè

And the first thing I do is the coffee.

i llavors gestiono tot el tema xarxes,

and then I manage everything related to networking,

per contestar missatges, si hi ha comandes,

to respond to messages, if there are orders,

si s'ha de... si toca penjar alguna cosa, el que sigui.

if it needs to be... if it’s time to hang something, whatever it is.

I a partir d'aquí llavors ja començo a fer

And from here I start to do.

la feina que tinc pendent.

the work I have pending.

Com que tinc un nen petit,

Since I have a small child,

aprofito fins a l'hora que s'aixequi

I take advantage of it until the time she gets up.

per fer tot el que no fa soroll,

to do everything that does not make noise,

és a dir, tot el que és de ganxet, de mitja,

that is to say, everything that is from ganxet, from half,

de la màquina de cosir, doncs no la puc engegar.

from the sewing machine, so I can't turn it on.

I després de portar-lo al col·le i fer tot el que hem de fer,

And after taking him to school and doing everything we have to do,

doncs llavors ja continuo amb tot el que hi ha de més.

Then I will continue with everything else.

I el dia es basa una mica entre fer comandes,

And the day is partly based on placing orders,

fer tallers i el nen i la casa.

to hold workshops and the kid and the house.

Així doncs segueixes una rutina

So you follow a routine.

que de vegades es veu alterada

which is sometimes seen as altered

per la teva activitat de setmana.

for your activity of the week.

Sí, doncs bé, em vaig adaptant una mica

Yes, well, I'm adjusting a little bit.

al que toca aquell dia.

to which it touches that day.

Quines activitats fas en el teu temps d'oci?

What activities do you do in your free time?

M'agrada molt llegir,

I really enjoy reading,

encara que sembli mentida,

although it seems incredible,

continuo fent ganxet i mitja,

I keep crocheting and knitting.

però llavors ja són coses per mi.

but then they are already things for me.

M'agradaria fer un xal o una jaqueta o el que sigui.

I would like to make a shawl or a jacket or whatever.

Com que és un negoci que està basat en un hobby,

Since it is a business that is based on a hobby,

realment jo no he deixat de fer això al meu temps lliure tampoc.

I really haven't stopped doing this in my free time either.

M'agrada veure pel·lis, sèries,

I like watching movies, series,

no sé, quedar amb algú, una mica de tot.

I don't know, hanging out with someone, a bit of everything.

Així doncs feina i hobbies estan units en una mateixa direcció.

Thus, work and hobbies are connected in the same direction.

Sí, sí.

Yes, yes.

Hobby, feina, feina, hobby.

Hobby, job, job, hobby.

Sí, és una mica perillós perquè llavors no pares mai,

Yes, it's a bit dangerous because then you never stop.

però com que t'agrada, doncs ho disfrutes.

but since you like it, then enjoy it.

De petita com eres, Montse?

What were you like as a child, Montse?

Sempre he sigut molt activa, sobretot de ment.

I have always been very active, especially mentally.

No he pogut fer mai una sola cosa alhora.

I have never been able to do one thing at a time.

I sempre m'ha agradat llegir, sempre m'ha agradat fer coses...

I've always liked reading, I've always liked doing things...

M'han agradat molt els jocs de taula, coses tranquil·les,

I have really enjoyed board games, quiet things.

però també no parava mai quieta.

but she also never stayed still.

Els jocs de taula, quins t'agradaven?

Board games, which ones did you like?

M'agradaven, doncs, el típic, el parxís, el domino, les cartes...

I liked, therefore, the typical ones, parches, dominoes, cards...

Jo ja tinc una edat, eh?

I'm already of a certain age, you know?

No hi havia tot el que hi ha ara.

There wasn't everything that there is now.

Una mica de tot.

A little bit of everything.

El típic de tothom, diguéssim.

The typical one for everyone, let's say.

I amb qui solies jugar?

And who did you usually play with?

Jugava amb els meus padrins, jugava amb la meva germana també.

I played with my grandparents, I played with my sister too.

Ens portem sis anys, ella és més petita,

We are six years apart, she is younger.

i clar, hi havia coses que no podíem,

and of course, there were things we couldn't do,

però sobretot amb els meus padrins ja he jugat molt.

but above all I have already played a lot with my grandparents.

Així que has tingut uns bons mestres.

So you've had some good teachers.

Sí. Sí, sí. Una sort.

Yes. Yes, yes. A luck.

I de lectura, què me'n dius?

And what about reading? What do you say?

Eres de llegir Aventures de los Cinco,

Are you a reader of The Famous Five adventures?

o Velas Mellizas Románticas?

or Romantic Twin Candles?

Una mica de tot.

A little bit of everything.

Potser vaig començar...

Maybe I started...

Hi havia uns que es deien Enid...

There were some who were called Enid...

Enid y los... algo, ja no me'n recordo,

Enid and the... something, I don't remember anymore.

que eren així, tipus, col·leccions,

that were like this, types, collections,

que m'agradaven molt,

that I liked a lot,

i després ja vaig començar una mica amb la novel·la,

and then I started a bit with the novel,

que és el que més m'agrada,

what I like the most,

a la joventut més romàntica,

to the most romantic youth,

i després ja vaig passar més a la novel·la històrica.

and then I moved more into historical novels.

Què ens hi deixaves per menjar les nostres novetats?

What were you leaving us to eat our news?

Els Reis, la nit abans.

The Kings, the night before.

Els hi deixàvem...

We let them...

No teníem alguna cosa típica,

We didn't have anything typical.

llet o aigua, i galetes o polvorons,

milk or water, and cookies or polvorones,

el que tinguéssim.

what we had.

El que sí que no fallava mai

What never failed was

era deixar-los la sabata al balcó.

it was to leave them the shoe on the balcony.

Important.

I què me'n dius de la rateta

And what do you think of the little mouse?

que venia quan et queia una dent de llet?

What came when you lost a baby tooth?

I què me'n dius de la rateta que venia quan et queia una dent de llet?

And what do you think about the little mouse that came when you lost a baby tooth?

També, el que fèiem tots, sota el coixí,

Also, what we all did, under the pillow,

perquè llavors n'hi havia... Ara som molt moderns,

because back then there were... Now we are very modern,

i hi ha la porteta del ratolí, l'escaleta,

and there is the mouse's little door, the staircase,

i totes aquestes coses,

and all these things,

però llavors la majoria ficàvem l'adena

but then the majority put in the adenine

sota el coixí i a veure què apareixia pel matí.

under the pillow and see what appeared in the morning.

I què et solia deixar?

And what did it usually leave you?

No recordo gaire, la veritat,

I don't remember much, to be honest,

però suposo que diners.

but I suppose money.

100 pesetes en aquella època, no?

100 pesetas at that time, right?

Que era tot un tresor.

That was quite a treasure.

Sí.

Yes.

I després tenies un problema per saber en què volies gastar?

And then you had a problem knowing how you wanted to spend?

Vos dir? No.

I will tell you? No.

Amb gastar sempre sabem. Amb què?

With spending, we always know. With what?

Amb gastar sempre sabem.

With spending, we always know.

A què t'agradaria jugar quan ets petita,

What would you like to play when you were little?

ets més de corda, de saltar la corda,

you are more of a rope, of jumping rope,

o de...

or of...

jugar...

to play...

No, el que et deia, una mica de tot.

No, what I was telling you, a bit of everything.

M'agradaven molt els jocs tranquils,

I really liked quiet games,

tipus jocs de taula i així,

types of board games and so on,

però també no paràvem, sempre estàvem al carrer jugant.

but we also never stopped, we were always outside playing.

Jugàvem a la gometa, a la corda,

We played with the rubber band, with the rope,

a amagar, bueno,

to hide, well,

lo típic que jugàvem sempre tots abans.

The typical games we always used to play before.

I ara ets afortunada de poder jugar al carrer.

And now you are lucky to be able to play in the street.

Sí, perquè vivíem en una zona

Yes, because we lived in an area

al final del poble, era un carrer que

at the end of the village, there was a street that

quasi no passaven cotxes, només els veïns,

almost no cars passed, only the neighbors,

vull dir que, clar, podíem estar tot el dia per allí

I mean that, of course, we could be there all day.

al carrer, fins a l'hora de menjar,

in the street, until lunchtime,

que llavors te cridaven, i cap a casa.

then they called you, and homeward.

Ai, sí, doncs, tot el dia al carrer.

Oh, yes, well, all day in the street.

Sí, bastant, sí, sí.

Yes, quite, yes, yes.

Fa caliu.

It's warm.

I sobretot, dona...

And above all, woman...

és la porta oberta

it is the open door

a investigar i a dir tot allò que vols

to investigate and to say all that you want

quan ets petita i que no et veu ningú.

when you are little and no one sees you.

Sí, sí. Sí, sí.

Yes, yes. Yes, yes.

Ens agradava molt també buscar

We also really enjoyed looking for

a les cases d'aquestes o

to the houses of these or

magatzems que estaven abandonats

abandoned warehouses

i en altres per allí dins, claro, llavors arribaves

and in others in there, of course, then you arrived

amb els ginots pelats i aquestes coses.

with the peeled ginots and those things.

Però bueno, pues lo que tocàve.

But well, that's what was meant to happen.

Clar, us ho passàveu bé.

Of course, you were having fun.

Què ens pots explicar

What can you tell us?

de la teva adolescència?

from your adolescence?

Bueno, bastant normal

Well, quite normal.

dintre del què?

inside what?

Quedar amb els amics,

Meeting with friends,

sortir una mica

go out a bit

i anar al cine,

and go to the cinema,

que llavors anàvem molt al cine, també.

that we used to go to the movies a lot, too.

On anàveu?

Where were you going?

Al del Poble.

To the People.

En quin poble?

In which village?

Jo soc de l'Iñola.

I am from Iñola.

I...

una gran cosa més, tampoc,

a great thing more, neither,

perquè en aquella època

because at that time

ni Playstation ni aquestes coses,

neither Playstation nor these things,

no hi havia res.

there was nothing.

Recordo que abans els cines dels pobles

I remember that before, the cinemas in the villages

era com sessió contínua.

it was like a continuous session.

Podies pagar l'entrada

Could you pay the entrance fee?

i podies veure tres cops de pel·lícula.

You could see three movie screenings.

Sí, sí, sí.

Yes, yes, yes.

O les sutxes o les palometes

Either the socks or the butterflies.

i vinga, fins que et deixessin,

and come on, until they let you go,

fins a l'hora que havies de tornar.

until the time you had to return.

Quina va ser

What was it?

la teva primera discoteca?

your first nightclub?

El Musicland, a Mallorussa,

The Musicland, in Mallorca,

que ho teníem al costat.

that we had next to us.

El Musicland, sí, sí, els domenyes.

The Musicland, yes, yes, the Sundays.

I com hi anàveu?

And how did you get there?

Ens portaven els pares, perquè teníem

Our parents took us because we had

16 o 17 anys,

16 or 17 years old,

i ens portaven i ens venien a buscar.

They took us and came to pick us up.

I a tal hora, havies de ser a la porta,

And at that time, you had to be at the door,

passés lo que passés.

whatever happens.

Et tocava treballar els estius?

Did you have to work during the summers?

Sí.

Yes.

Sí, sí, a partir del 16

Yes, yes, starting from the 16th.

vaig començar a treballar

I started working.

els estius. Primer la fruita

the summers. First the fruit

i després ja vas trobant

and then you start finding

altres cosetes, però sí, sí.

other little things, but yes, yes.

La veritat és que en aquella

The truth is that in that

època tots nosaltres

era all of us

treballàvem a la fruita, cuidant

we worked in the fruit, taking care

nens o fent repassos,

kids or reviewing,

perquè eren uns dinerets que anaven molt bé.

because they were some little money that went very well.

Ens quedàvem

We stayed.

per nosaltres. A què et volies

for us. What did you want?

dedicar quan fossis gran?

What would you dedicate yourself to when you grew up?

Jo volia ser

I wanted to be

mestra d'educació especial.

special education teacher.

Llavors quan vaig acabar a COU,

Then when I finished high school,

que nosaltres fèiem COU llavors,

when we were doing COU then,

vaig fer la selectivitat i em vaig quedar

I took the entrance exam and I passed.

unes dècimes.

a few tenths.

Llavors vaig dir,

Then I said,

faig el cicle d'educació infantil

I am doing the early childhood education course.

i a través d'ell després

and through him afterwards

aprovaré d'entrar una altra vegada.

I will approve to enter again.

I així va ser, vaig fer el cicle.

And so it was, I completed the program.

L'únic que

The only thing that

durant el cicle vaig tindre

during the cycle I had

sempre em va canviar el xip

he always changed my mindset

i en comptes d'educació especial

and instead of special education

me'n vaig passar a llengua anglesa

I switched to English.

i llavors vaig fer magisteri d'anglès.

And then I studied to become a teacher of English.

Així que pots anar

So you can go.

per qualsevol lloc del món.

to anywhere in the world.

Bueno, he perdut una mica la pràctica

Well, I have lost a bit of practice.

perquè clar, després m'he dedicat a l'educació infantil,

because of course, then I dedicated myself to early childhood education,

però sí, me defenso,

but yes, I defend myself,

no em queixo. Almenys pots dir

I'm not complaining. At least you can say.

on puc dinar,

Where can I have lunch?

on puc anar a dormir, no? Sí, això sí.

Where can I go to sleep, right? Yes, that's true.

El més bàsic, no? Sí, sí.

The most basic, right? Yes, yes.

Quins eren els teus somnis bons?

What were your good dreams?

Somnis bastant

Pretty dreams

normalets, la veritat.

fairly normal, to be honest.

Trobar una feina que m'agradés,

Finding a job that I liked,

viure mitjanament bé,

to live moderately well,

una família. No he tingut mai

a family. I have never had one.

allò, anar a la Lluna, aquestes coses

that, going to the Moon, those things

així i tant, no. Molt bé.

Yes, indeed, no. Very good.

Montse,

recordes els motius

do you remember the reasons

que et van portar a realitzar aquesta

What led you to carry out this?

professió artesanal

craft profession

de fils i agulles?

of threads and needles?

Bueno, va ser una mica

Well, it was a bit.

la vida m'hi ha portat.

Life has brought me there.

És una cosa que sempre ha format

It's something that has always been part.

el meu dia a dia.

my day to day.

Jo feia, quan havia

I used to do, when I had

de fer un regal, feia

to give a gift, I did

algo de ganxet o de mitja

something knitted or crocheted

o de costura,

or of sewing,

perquè m'agradava, és com a

because I liked it, it's like a

regalar algo més personal,

give something more personal,

més... saps que aquella

more... you know that one

persona hi ha dedicat un temps,

person has dedicated some time,

no és com anar a una botiga i comprovar

it's not like going to a store and checking

algo i punto, saps?

Something and that's it, you know?

I ho feia per regalar.

I did it as a gift.

Llavors, a mesura que vaig anar

Then, as I went

fent, llavors me n'havien demanat

doing, then they had asked me for it

què vull fer, no sé què,

what I want to do, I don't know what,

què m'ho podries fer, vinga va, ho fem.

What could you do for me, come on, let's do it.

També et diré que no dic mai que no,

I will also tell you that I never say no,

saps? Vull dir, normalment,

You know? I mean, normally,

què em podries fer un nino de no sé què,

what could you make me a doll out of, I don’t know what,

no sé quant... provem-ho, saps?

I don't know how much... let's try it, you know?

El no ja el tenim.

We already have the no.

I a poc a poc va anar així.

And little by little it went this way.

I llavors va arribar la pandèmia,

And then the pandemic arrived,

la famosa pandèmia,

the famous pandemic,

i em van començar a demanar més coses

and they started asking me for more things

i jo també tenia més temps per dedicar-hi

And I also wished I had more time to dedicate to it.

i va ser quan va començar a créixer

and it was when it started to grow

una mica la cosa.

a little bit the thing.

Recordes algun moment significatiu,

Do you remember any significant moment,

emotiu o important que tu creguis

emotional or important that you believe

que va ser decisiu?

What was decisive?

Sí, la pandèmia, realment.

Yes, the pandemic, really.

Realment sí, però és el que et dic,

Really yes, but it's what I'm telling you,

teníem molt més temps

we had much more time

i podíem dedicar més estones,

and we could dedicate more time,

com que estava

as it was

més activa també a xarxes

more active also on social media

i així també et coneix més gent,

and this way more people get to know you,

doncs una mica tot això.

so just a bit of all this.

Així doncs, un moment difícil i vas

So, a difficult moment and you go.

extraure una experiència

extract an experience

d'impuls cap a la teva

of impulse towards yours

carrera artesanal.

craft career.

Quins passos vas seguir

What steps did you follow?

per arribar aquí on estàs?

to get here where are you?

On et vas formar?

Where did you get your training?

Formar és quasi tot autodidacte,

Training is almost entirely self-taught,

la veritat.

the truth.

Jo, YouTube, Pinterest,

Me, YouTube, Pinterest,

internet en general,

internet in general,

i sí que he fet algun curs puntual,

and yes, I have taken some specific courses,

però quasi tot és autodidacte.

but almost everything is self-taught.

Vas tenir que fer moltes pràctiques

You had to do a lot of practice.

abans de posar el teu primer producte

before putting your first product

a la venda?

for sale?

No, no, perquè és el que et dic,

No, no, because it's what I'm telling you,

com que el teu primer producte

as your first product

va anar sorgint de forma natural,

it arose naturally,

no és que diguis

it's not that you say

mira, faré un mic

look, I'll make a mic

i el provo fins que em surt,

and I provoke him until I get it out,

no.

Jo en vaig fer un per regalar,

I made one to give as a gift.

després n'hi vaig fer un altre,

after that I made another one for him/her,

després me'n van començar a demanar,

then they started asking me for it,

vull dir que sí que és veritat

I mean that yes, it is true.

que després amb el temps

that later with time

el patró ha anat evolucionant

the pattern has evolved

i com que jo també he après més,

and since I have learned more too,

també fas les coses de forma diferent,

you also do things differently,

però ha anat així.

but it has gone like this.

Les passes a seguir

The steps to follow

són primeres de fer un patró?

Are they first to make a pattern?

Quan comentes

When you comment

què és el primer patró,

what is the first pattern,

exactament què és perquè els nostres

exactly what it is for our

oients ho sàpiguen?

Do listeners know it?

Fer un patró és

To make a pattern is

escriure

to write

com aniràs fent aquest nino,

how are you going to make this doll,

faré tants punts, aquí faré un augment,

I will score so many points, here I will make an increase,

aquí faré una reducció, aquí faré

here I will make a reduction, here I will make

canviaré de color, aquí no sé què...

I will change color, here I don't know what...

Clar, tu quan no en saps gaire al principi

Sure, when you don't know much at the beginning.

normalment busques patrons

you usually look for patterns

d'altra gent que en sap. Quan hi ha

other people who know about it. When there is

comences a dominar una mica i tu saps

you are starting to master a bit and you know it.

com has de fer per fer una forma

How do you make a shape?

per fer una altra, jo normalment

to make another one, I usually

vaig fent i vaig anotant el patró.

I keep going and I note down the pattern.

Si hi ha alguna cosa que no m'agrada, tiro enrere

If there is something I don't like, I back off.

i modifico, però vaig fent

I modify, but I keep going.

el patró a mesura que vaig

the pattern as I go

cosint o que vaig fent enganxar.

sewing or what I'm doing is sticking.

Així un patró seria com una fulla en blanc

Thus a pattern would be like a blank sheet.

on tu fas un dibuix a mà

where you make a drawing by hand

per exemple, i vas

for example, and you go

anotant a cada part del cos

noting on each part of the body

els colors que hi ha. Començo per aquí, començo per allà

the colors that are there. I start here, I start there

amb aquest color, amb tants punts, amb aquesta agulla

with this color, with so many dots, with this needle

no sé què, així. I a partir d'aquí

I don't know what, like this. And from here on.

endavant.

go ahead.

Abans de començar a exercir aquesta professió

Before starting to practice this profession

vas realitzar algun altre tipus

did you carry out any other type?

d'activitat

of activity

a banda de ser educadora infantil?

besides being a preschool teacher?

Bueno, lo que dèiem els estius

Well, what we were saying about the summers.

primer la fruita

first the fruit

després vaig estar

after I was

treballant a Caldes de Boí, al balneari

working in Caldes de Boí, at the spa

com que la zona m'agradava i a part nosaltres

since I liked the area and besides us

ja estivojàvem per allí i així, doncs ja

we have already been around there and so, well then

em vaig quedar per allí els estius.

I stayed there during the summers.

Vaig estar a l'oficina dels taxis

I was at the taxi office.

d'aigües tortes

of twisted waters

donant informació i així

providing information and so on

i després ja me'n vaig anar

And then I went away.

cap al resort, cap a Boguitavull.

towards the resort, towards Boguitavull.

Quant temps t'hi vas quedar per allí dalt?

How long did you stay up there?

Doncs

vaig començar els estius i finalment

I started the summers and finally

hi va haver un hivern que em vaig quedar i

there was a winter when I stayed and

vaig passar uns 4 anys i mig o 5.

I spent about 4 and a half or 5 years.

Després

After

dels 4 o 5 anys

from 4 to 5 years old

què vas fer?

What did you do?

Ja estava una mica cansada

I was already a little tired.

d'estar per allí

to be around there

la veritat

the truth

i vaig tornar cap aquí baix

I returned down here.

i casualment van sortir oposicions

and casually, job openings were announced

a la llar d'infants del Picat

at the Picat nursery

em vaig presentar, vaig aprovar

I introduced myself, I passed.

i des de llavors que hi havia

and since then there was

estat, des del 2009.

state, since 2009.

Què et va portar a escollir l'activitat

What led you to choose the activity?

primer d'estudi d'educadora infantil

first year of early childhood education

per dedicar-te després a treballar

to dedicate yourself later to working

a l'escola Bressol?

to the nursery school?

Va ser una mica el tema

It was a bit the theme.

de no arribar a la nota per fer

not reaching the note to do

Magisteri d'Educació Especial

Special Education Teaching

doncs el que diem casualitats

so what we call coincidences

de la vida que al final

of life that in the end

realment m'hi he dedicat amb això

I have really dedicated myself to this.

i ho he disfrutat i ho disfruto moltíssim.

I have enjoyed it and I enjoy it a lot.

Quan els hi vares comunicar

When did you communicate it to them?

als de casa teva que et volies dedicar

to your family that you wanted to dedicate yourself to

a l'artesania de productes de fils i agulles

to the craftsmanship of products made with threads and needles

què et van dir?

What did they tell you?

Bueno, és que com que no va ser

Well, it's just that since it wasn't

una decisió així avui

such a decision today

començó això que va anar sorgint

this began to emerge

a poc a poc, és com que tothom

slowly, it's like everyone

ja ho tenia assumit que anava

I had already accepted that it was going to happen.

compaginant les dues coses

juggling both things

sí que al moment que dius

yes, at the moment you say

doncs mira, decideixo agafar una excedència

Well, look, I've decided to take a leave of absence.

perquè no puc amb tot

because I can't handle everything

clar, el primer que et pregunten

sure, the first thing they ask you

estàs segura? Sí, sí, jo ja he fet

Are you sure? Yes, yes, I have already done it.

els meus números, jo ja he vist el que més o menys

my numbers, I've already seen what more or less

i ho vull provar, doncs endavant.

And I want to try it, so go ahead.

I va, hi va haver algun membre

And yes, there was a member.

de la teva família que

of your family that

es dediqués

he/she devoted

amb aquesta temàtica o bé que fos

with this theme or that it was

una inspiració per a tu?

an inspiration for you?

Bueno

Good.

no et sabria dir, no.

I couldn't tell you, no.

Ma mare

My mother

feia, doncs quan jo era petita

so when I was little

ella cosia màquina, feia jercers

She sewed machine, she made jerseys.

i així, i ma padrina

and so, and my grandmother

em va ensenyar a fer ganxet

she taught me to crochet

quan jo era petita, que fèiem les puntilles

When I was little, we used to make the lace.

aquelles dels llençols i tot això

those of the sheets and all that

però a part d'això

but apart from that

clar, sí, des de llavors sempre

of course, yes, since then always

ha sigut present el ganxet

The ganxet has been present.

a la meua vida, però no hi ha

to my life, but there isn't

ningú que es dediqui a aquests àmbits

nobody who is dedicated to these fields

Així es podria dir que

So it could be said that

la principal font d'inspiració seria

the main source of inspiration would be

la teva padrina

your grandmother

que durant alguns estius

that during some summers

et va fer dedicar

it made you dedicate

a fer puntilles pels llençols

to tiptoe on the sheets

Sí, des de llavors

Yes, since then.

que les vaig avorrir, també t'ho diré

that I bored them, I'll tell you as well

però sí que és veritat que aquella base

but it is true that that basis

ja em va servir per després

it already served me for later

tot lo demés

everything else

a l'aprendre a fer els punts bàsics

to learn to do the basic points

després quan vaig ser més gran

later when I was older

i em vaig volguer fer un gorro

and I wanted to make myself a hat

ja sabia més o menys el què

I already knew more or less what it was.

llavors investigant lo que et deia internet

then researching what the internet was telling you

aquí va començar tot una mica

here is where it all began a little

Amb la teva padrina

With your grandmother.

el fer i desfer

the doing and undoing

com ho portaves?

How were you handling it?

Perquè clar, molta paciència

Because of course, a lot of patience.

Sí, però bueno, sóc una persona

Yes, but well, I am a person.

molt pacient

very patient

i també és veritat que m'adapto molt

And it is also true that I adapt very well.

a les circumstàncies

to the circumstances

s'ha de desfer, s'ha de desfer, evidentment

It has to be undone, it has to be undone, obviously.

hi hauria ratos que em faria ràbia, segur

There would be moments that would make me angry, for sure.

però tampoc no ho recordo com a algo

but I don't remember it as something either

negatiu, la veritat

negative, the truth

Així va ser una bona base

Thus it was a good foundation.

que la vas disfrutar

that you enjoyed it

i la vas viure en pau

and you lived it in peace

Sí, i és com que tu ja portes això

Yes, and it's like you already have this.

amb tu

with you

relacions, el ganxet

relations, the hook

i aquestes coses amb algo

and these things with something

emocional i bo

emotional and good

Quin va ser el motiu

What was the reason?

d'escollir el canal online

of choosing the online channel

per muntar la teva botiga

to set up your shop

al revés d'aquest canal

the opposite of this channel

Clar, tu quan comences

Of course, when do you start?

no tens els diners per invertir en un local

you don't have the money to invest in a premises

tampoc no saps si realment funcionarà

you also don't know if it will really work

si no funcionarà

if it won't work

internet i les xarxes socials

internet and social networks

és una bona manera de no haver d'invertir

it's a good way not to have to invest

i proves

and tests

a veure que tal

let's see how it goes

i de moment bé

And for now, I'm fine.

També he vist que algun any has muntat

I have also seen that some years you have set up.

la teva paradeta al mercat medieval d'Almenar

your stall at the medieval market of Almenar

Què me'n dius?

What do you say about it?

El vam muntar un any amb una noia d'aquí al poble

We set it up one year with a girl from here in the village.

que fa espelmes

that makes candles

i va sortir així una mica

and it came out like that a bit

de casualitat

by chance

provem, provem

let's try, let's try

com que anàvem les dos

as we were going together

si hagués anat sola segurament no hagués anat

If I had gone alone, I probably wouldn't have gone.

però com que anàvem les dos van dir

to dream

la teva vida

your life

i la teva vida

and your life

You

em mires

you look at me

i jo

and me

no puc pensar

I can't think.

en res més

in nothing else

que com ets important

how important you are

amb tu

with you

jo em vaig fent gran

I am growing up.

ja no em passa pel cap

it doesn't cross my mind anymore

res on no hi ets

nothing you are not there

I no longer wait.

que no et puc mirar

I can't look at you.

I don't want to tire you out.

si m'has de carregar

if you have to load me

fes-ho

do it

perquè tu vols

because you want

fes-ho de gust

do it for pleasure

Montse, he estat mirant

Montse, I have been looking.

el teu Instagram

your Instagram

i he vist que hi ha molt producte especialitzat per a nens

I have seen that there is a lot of specialized product for children.

de recents nascuts

of newborns

fins a més grans

to greater heights

d'alguna manera es podria dir que la teva etapa

In some way, it could be said that your stage

d'educadora ha estat una font d'inspiració

as an educator has been a source of inspiration

dels productes de caire infantil?

of children's products?

Sí

Yes

sí perquè

yes because

perdó

sorry

jo ja feia moltes coses

I was already doing many things.

de ganxet de ninos i així

of ganxet from kids and so on

però al treballar

but when working

a l'Abresol

to the Abresol

clar, jo ja tinc teles

Sure, I already have fabrics.

i si provés de fer

and if I tried to do it

el que es necessita a l'Abresol

what is needed at Abresol

doncs els llençols, les bates, les bossetes

so the sheets, the robes, the little bags

tal

such

comences a fer alguna coseta

you start to do something small

i te van demanar un altre

and they asked you for another one

ah, és que jo necessito tovallons

Ah, I need napkins.

vinga, doncs tovallons

Come on, then napkins.

és que jo necessito no sé què

it's just that I need I don't know what

doncs fem-ho

So let's do it.

el que et deia, com que jo sempre dic que sí

What I was telling you, since I always say yes.

a veure, en algun moment diré que no

let's see, at some point I will say no

però com que sempre dic vinga va, doncs sí

but since I always say come on, then yes

clar, llavors sempre vas afegint coses

Of course, then you always keep adding things.

saps?

do you know?

i normalment està relacionat tot amb aquest camp

and it is usually related to this field.

vull dir que sí

I mean yes.

hi ha ganxets per la cuna de recent nascut

there are hooks for the newborn's crib

llençols per a nens, conjunts de pantalons

sheets for children, sets of pants

de ganxets, sabates

of hooks, shoes

colls per a l'hivern

collars for winter

gorros, pitets, motxilla

hats, bibs, backpack

tovalloles, la llista és llarga

towels, the list is long

sí

yes

em vas explicar alguna cosa dels pitets

You explained something to me about the bibs.

sobre el que és la part del darrere

about what is the back part

que porta amb bambú

that carries bamboo

i així l'aigua no cau

and so the water does not fall

m'ho podries explicar als oients?

Could you explain it to the listeners?

hi ha escoles que demanen específicament

there are schools that specifically request

que els pitets tinguin

that the bibs have

tela impermeable per darrere

waterproof fabric on the back

però si no és així

but if it is not like that

jo normalment m'agrada fer-los

I usually like to do them.

amb el rus aquest per darrere

with the Russian behind this

que és absorbent

that is absorbent

clar, tu toques el rus normal, encara que sigui de cotó

Sure, you play the normal Russian, even if it's cotton.

i és una mica aspre

and it is a bit harsh

llavors vaig veure que hi havia aquest altre

then I saw that there was this other one

de bambú, és super suau i a més és molt

of bamboo, it is super soft and also it is very

més absorbent

more absorbent

vaig dir, jo els faig amb això

I said, I do them with this.

si els vols de rus normal els pots trobar

If you want normal Russian flights, you can find them.

però jo els faig així perquè considero

but I do them this way because I consider

que van més bé

that go better

saps el que et vull dir?

Do you know what I mean?

al final cadascú té una mica

in the end, everyone has a bit

la seva manera, el seu estil

his way, his style

i el seu què, a mi l'experiència

And what about him, to me the experience?

m'ha portat a veure que això

has brought me to see that this

pels nens que jo he vist

for the children that I have seen

els pot anar millor, doncs ho faig així

It can go better for them, so I do it this way.

així doncs els pitets

thus the bibs

amb absorbent de tela de bambú

with bamboo fabric absorbent

són molt millors que els que porten

they are much better than the ones they wear

un plàstic al darrere, des de la teua experiència

a plastic at the back, from your experience

per mi, de professora

for me, as a teacher

per mi, al final és el que diem

For me, in the end, it's what we say.

cadascú al final té la seva

everyone in the end has their own

experiència i els seus motius

experience and its reasons

que els vols plastificar, jo te'ls faig plastificar

If you want them laminated, I will have them laminated for you.

no hi ha problema

no problem

però t'has sentit això que dius

but have you felt this that you say

que damunt d'un plastificat l'aigua va caient

that on a laminated surface, the water keeps falling

i llavors cau al darrere

and then falls behind

al final sí, cau al darrere o damunt de

in the end yes, it falls behind or on top of

pantaló del nen

boy's trousers

m'ha agradat molt els llibres de roba

I really liked the fabric books.

didàctics

didactics

que has fet per nens petits

what have you done for small children

trobo que són una manera de començar

I think they are a way to start.

per iniciar-los a que s'enamorin dels llibres

to encourage them to fall in love with books

i de la lectura

and from reading

no ens podem oblidar de tot

we cannot forget everything

perquè a mi també m'agraden molt així

because I also really like them like this

com va sorgir la idea?

How did the idea come about?

no t'ho sabria dir

I couldn't tell you.

exactament, suposo que una mica com tot

exactly, I suppose a bit like everything

veus algo por ahí, t'inspires

you see something out there, you get inspired

i dius vinga, em podria provar de fer un

And you say come on, I could try to make one.

va agradar, doncs

it was liked, then

n'hi vaig anar fent més

I went there doing more.

també és veritat que abans

it is also true that before

fa dos, tres anys

two or three years ago

no se'n trobàvem tants

we didn't find so many

ara tu vas amb una gran

now you go with a big

superfície i en tenen

surface and they have

50.000 per dos d'euros

50,000 for two euros

clar, llavors

of course, then

sempre hi ha gent que valora més el fet amar

There are always people who value the act of loving more.

però al final si tu ho trobes tan barat

but in the end if you find it so cheap

blanco

white

i en botella, saps el que et vull dir?

And in a bottle, do you know what I mean?

que desvaloritza una mica el fet amar

that somewhat devalues the act of loving

però és llei de vida

but it is the law of life

i no hi podem fer més tampoc

and we can't do anything more about it either

Montse, el que m'ha enamorat

Montse, what has made me fall in love.

és l'opció que presentes als clients

It is the option that you present to the clients.

de reciclar
