Saturday indoors - recovering

Finally emerging from a 9-day-flu-indoors. Feel like myself again!

Sketching gear - custom made!

I made this for J on the evening before we went on summer holidays. He needed to pack his drawing material, and this was the solution I came up with. Today I would change some things (I am planning to do a new one soon)

I won! I won!

I won a beautiful gift, handmade by Alice, in her last giveaway. She has an interesting project along with her blog "NousNous", called "Saber Fazer". Really worth checking out.

Handmade -A gift for a good friend

Japanese Caligraphy Workshop @ Fundação Oriente

I am fascinated by the beauty of japanese calygrafy and want to learn more and more. This time I took a workshop at Fundação Oriente (Lisbon) and had a chance to try different brushes and tecniques. So great.

Whishlist: a sleeping bag with legs

Looks very comfy and has great design. Perfect for a visiting guest or an afternon nap! Found it here.

Rainy weekend

Weekend spent at home, cooking, reading, napping... A much needed break.

Watch it...

Happy 2013!

Mia: Stange tastes

A crazy cat who loves blueberry ice cream? Is this even possible

Handmade Christmas presents

This year I made most of the presents I offered my nieces. Custom made clothes for their rabbits and sleeping bags. I have to say they really loved it. Happy.

 

Silly days

A silly day is a 'rare comodity' in these fast track times. Much needed from time to time. 

Soaking up sun streched out on warm cement.

Reading old postcards,

and poems,

 Drinking red wine.

 

Watching the sunset on a rooftop. 

 

These are the days to remember,

even if the wine was a bit too much...

Handmade as a gift: for special days

Celebration!
