Inspiration: the best thing I read this week... The things I did before I found out what I was meant to do
"The other day I was looking through all the drawers of supplies in my office. There are drawers for jewelry-making tools, screen-printing inks, calligraphy pens, yarns for knitting, fabric and needles for sewing, charcoal for drawing, and a ton more supplies for hobbies I once had at some point in my life. They made me wonder if I've been too fickle. Did I think I was going to become a jewelry designer, a calligrapher, a professional knitter, an artist, or a clothing designer? Maybe. Did I buy a ton of supplies only to never use them again? Yes.
At some point while I took at stab at doing these things and using all these tools, I realized they were fun but not meant for me in the long run. As you try new things, you learn what you like (and also don't like) about every hobby and experience—and all of that leads you closer and closer to the thing (or things) you are ultimately meant to do. In my case, I figured out that I love designing products (but not crafting them by hand), I enjoy interacting with people directly on-line or in small groups (but hate schmoozy and non-personal "networking"), and love being able to get my ideas across in various formats (like blogging, books, and videos).
So, I guess what I'm saying is get out there and learn about stuff (especially for those of you who feel lost in your career or your job path because you haven't found "it" yet). It's better to experience and try new things you might be interested in—even if it's just out of curiosity—then to sit and wonder what might have been. Because in some way, it will all lead you to making your mark in the way that only you can."

Bowls of things
It all started with a bowl of porridge (cranberries, cinammon, almonds and dried prunes) for breakfast... Then I realised how much I like bowls and containers in general.
The eucalyptus I collected last month from the gardens of Gulbenkian Foundation. Amazing smell, still.
Stones from everywhere I've been. I love love love stone, can't resist them. Each one is unique. (I have lots more, this is just a very small sample of my collection)
Bits and pieces from gardens all around.

Learning japanese...
... Is both exciting and challenging.
I had to develop some extra material to help me. Now I am becoming more familiar with it all..
It requires time, patience and practice (I am lacking time, lately...)

Sunday cooking experiences
A healthy and tasty banana-strawberry pie (just mix fruit, almond milk and agar-agar a let it simmer for 10m before pouring the mixture into the crust). Delicious!
Roasted butternut squash, sweet potato and courgette, tofu mini-pies. Very simple, very good.

Mia: Hiding
When I got home today she wasn't waiting for me at the door as usual... I called her, searched for her in the usual 'nap-favorite-places'... not a sound. Then, as I was passing by, I noticed a white patch of fur behind the pillows and there she was, hiding, not wanting to be disturbed with my early arrival!

Drawings become toys
Kids have great sense of design - and that's why Zut Création Textile in France decided to bring their drawings to life. A great great idea.

Paper boats & wishes
The paper wish-boats - great patterns and color palette - are designed to sail out to celebrate weddings, newborn babies, birthdays, anniversaries or whatever you want! Before you start folding, write a personal wish or message along the railing.
