Sim, eu sei estive desaparecida deste blogue muitos meses, mas a razão da minha ausência não podia ser melhor e chama-se Sara! Tem 6 meses e é a doçura dos meus 40 anos! A partir de agora, vou tentar a ser mais assídua e a partilhar as coisas que vou fazendo ou encontrando na internet com vocês.
Muitos beijinhos e obrigada por não desistirem deste blogue!

I made some crafts shopping today at mundo dos acessórios

Hoje fiz umas comprinhas no mundo dos acessórios quem não gosta da querida Rute?

Amigurumi, que palavra tão má para se fixar… Costumo trocar as sílabas e as letras… O que será isto?

Amigurumi é mais uma arte japonesa que está na moda e que consiste em fazer pequenos animais ou figuras inanimadas como por exemplo casinhas, cogumelos, maçãs, cerejas, etc. preferencialmente em crochet e com lã. Também se podem acrescentar outros acessórios nos bonecos, como olhos, missangas, bocados de feltro, enfim o que a criatividade de cada um quiser.

Aprendi a fazer amigurumis vendo videos no youtube, embora o ponto utilizado, toda a gente sabe fazer pois é um dos mais básicos de todos. Já fiz várias animais e tenho achado muito divertido fazê-los. Aqui ficam algumas fotografias:

Nos próximos dias, publico aqui videos e moldes do que encontrar na net de mais interessante. Beijinhos e um bom recomeço de trabalho.

Hoje recebi esta surpresa da Teté. Ultimamente tenho recebido mais coisas para a Sara e fui surpreendida por estas prendinhas só para mim

At the 6 first photos are the cards I sent…

I got this precious Vintage Valentine Card from Kris (collagecontessa) and it was so beautiful! I think my partners have made much better than me with the valentine cards. They are truly artists and mine were just OK…

Here is my second vintage valentine card swap. I was really spoilt by creative muse! The envelope was open and I hope everything is here. I love the chocolates, the vintage images and the very very beautiful card she made for me.
Thanks too much Creative muse!
Anyway I loved to be on this swap. Thank you so much!

FAA fabrics present sent to baby november

I got this nice flower fabric from Starlit Nest aka Allison. Thank you so much! I’ve been a spoiled girl.

I was a very spoiled FAA lucky girl! The day of my birthday I got this wonderful gift from Nanuch! Thank you so much. It is precious!

I’m a very lucky girl because I got another present from the FAA group and this time it is from Cristina/headnet72 bordados e companhia

Tomorow it’s my birthday but I already got a present from the FAA group generously sent by gato dependente

Here is what I sent to Gato Dependente for her birthday.

Here is what I sent to Memmu for her birthday.

Sorry Memmu I took a picture of the beautiful things you sent me and I can’t find it. I thought I already published it but I didn’t. At home it has been a mess because there is always someone at home, something to do, I can’t sleep, so I forget to do things. I’m really sorry.
In fact I really loved it because I wasn’t expecting anything and it was a great surprise. The little handmade tree you made me was on my christmas tree with much care and friendship and I loved the way you gave me something without waiting something in return. It’s good to have friends like this

Here are the beautiful fairies that the girls (always joy, funky luke, mettalyptica and cats or dog) in the swap sent me.
I will buy the boxes today and I hope to send it tomorrow.

I got the 4 fairies swap from cats or dog. Here they are!

I’m hosting a fairy swap on the 5 things group and here are my 4 things fot the girls
The design is by Elodie Nouhen. I made the fairy wings and the rubber stamping.

Wonderful pink ornament swap received from Nicole. I just love the vintage look. My tree will seem so precious!

Yesterday I got my first pink ornament swap from Drewzel. It’s precious and very special. I love recycled things made with care and love!

Here is a very bad picture of the pink ornaments I will send this week. I was tired yesterday. A bad day for everything: too much work, cold day, someone beat my car, had to call the police, lost too much time… Anyway it was a good day with the presents of Drewzel and Farruska

Troca feita entre mim, a Filipa Prieto, a frutos do bosque e a Luciane.

Fiz mais um gorro para uma boneca Blythe, desta vez, para a Hera uma vez! Não ficou amorosa?

Eis a Namida com o gorro que lhe fiz e que enviei para a sua dona Isa aka Crafting with Love, na Alemanha. Como nunca tinha visto nenhuma Blythe ao vivo estava com medo que não lhe servisse, mas serviu! Não fica um miminho?

Here is Namida with the hat I made and that I sent to her owner Isa aka Crafting with Love, in Germany. As I’ve never seen any Blythe for real I was afraid that it couldn’t fit her but it’s just great! Isn’t she so adorable?

This is what I sent to summer pickles (Australia) for the craft matchbox swap (August 2007) I hope she will like it. There are more little things not showned to be a surprise. I hope she will like all I’ve made with care and attention

Eis a minha troquinha com a summer pickles da Austrália para a troca das caixinhas de fósforos de Agosto. Há mais coisinhas escondidas para ser surpresa! Espero que ela goste porque fiz com amorizade

My aunt Silvia is an old crafter lady. Some years ago she made some of the most beautiful crafts I ever seen when they weren’t magazines neither facilities to buy things as they were very expensive. I admire her very much. Now she can’t see very well and lately she has been giving me some of her things. Yesterday she gave me this vintage buttons and ribbons and some yarns too. I feel like I won a treasure

A minha tia Sílvia é uma senhora das manualidades das antigas. Há muitos anos ela já fazia artesanato do mais precioso num tempo em que não havia revistas nem facilidades pois tudo era muito caro. Admiro-a muito. Ultimamente vê mal e decidiu dar-me algumas das suas coisas. Ontem deu-me estes botões e fitas antigas e ainda alguns fios. Sinto-me como quem ganhou um tesouro…

Este ano, a combinação preto & branco é que vai estar na moda este Outono. Hmmm gosto…

This is a little hat I made for Namida. It’s a crafting with love’s blythe doll. It’s pink because it’s Namida’s favourite colour. I hope it will fits her I didn’t have a model to make it…

Fiz este gorro para a Namida, uma boneca blythe que gosta do cor-de-rosa. É para a minha amiga Isa ou crafting with love. Espero que sirva pois não tive modelo…

Eis algumas das minhas criações em lã feitas em 2006-2007.
