[ENG-SPA] 🌵Child cactus/Niño cactus🌵

Greetings my beautiful #Hive people, especially to those in the @needleworkmonday community. I hope you are having a beautiful day. Today I bring you a very special project for me, and it fills me with emotion to have created something that has to do with my city. Carora is a semi-arid area, where xerophilous plants are born, and plants adapted to live in dry areas, such as cacti (tunas and cardons). In my city, there are many cacti of different shapes and colors that embellish the landscape. I love cacti so much that every time I see one different from the ones I have, I grab a little child and plant them. Unfortunately, cacti are not valued in my city, so I know very few people who like them or have them in their homes. These days I was getting sun (Vitamin D), and I was watching for a while the cactus that I have in the window and I came up with the incredible idea of making an amigurumi that was characterized by them, I looked for ideas on Pinterest too, I got an image that I loved and I decided to make it by eye. Without further ado, let's go with the step-by-step.

Saludos mi gente bella de #Hive, especialmente a los de la comunidad @needleworkmonday. Espero estén teniendo un hermoso día. El día de hoy les traigo un proyecto muy especial para mí, y es que me llena de emoción el haber creado algo que tiene que ver con mi ciudad. Carora es una zona semiárida, donde nacen las plantas xerófilas, plantas adaptadas para vivir en zonas secas, como los cactus (tunas y cardones). En mi ciudad hay muchos cactus de diferentes formas y colores que embellecen los paisajes. Personalmente, a mí me encantan tanto los cactus, que cada vez que veo una diferente de las que tengo le agarro un hijito y las planto. Lamentablemente, los cactus no son valorados en mi ciudad, por lo que conozco a muy pocas personas que les guste o tenga en sus casas. En estos días estaba recibiendo sol (Vitamina D), y me quedé viendo un rato los cactus que tengo en la ventana y se me ocurrió la increíble idea de realizar un amigurumi que se caracterizara con ellos, busqué ideas en Pinterest también, conseguí una imagen que me encantó y decidí hacerla a ojo. Sin más, vamos con el paso a paso.
