Esperança | Hope

Hoje foi um dia muito especial.
Hoje a Alice teve um gesto tão fantástico, tão maravilhoso comigo, que não podia deixar passar em claro.

A Alice é minha amiga virtual. Falamos de vez em quando, nunca nos conhecemos pessoalmente, mas existe uma ligação muito especial entre nós.

Hoje a Alice fez-me chorar de felicidade.
Hoje a Alice fez-me acreditar que há esperança na humanidade, que a generosidade, a bondade, o cuidar do próximo, são coisas que ainda existem num planeta tão cheio de tristeza, malvadez e egoísmo.
Hoje a Alice provou-me que aquilo em que eu acredito todos os dias ao acordar, que ainda existe bondade neste mundo, é verdade.
E este sentimento não tem preço.
Faço-vos o desafio, façam algo de altruísta hoje. Por alguém que conhecem, por alguém que não conhecem, tornem o dia de alguém especial, sem esperar nada de volta.
Obrigada.


Today was a very special day.
Today my friend Alice made a very special gesture. So kind, so wonderful, I have no words to describe it. I never met Alice, but we talk from time to time, and I feel a very special connection with her.


Today Alice made me cry of happiness.

Today Alice made me believe that there's hope and kindness in humankind, that people can be so generous and have love for one another in a world of sadness, evil and selfishness.

I'm not alone, and there are people that still care.
And this feeling is priceless.


I challenge you, do something good for someone today. Someone you know, someone you don't, just make someone's day a little better. Without strings attached.
Thank you.

Mitsy gave us a challenge: to make a flickr mosaic with our favorites.

Finalmente!



Uuufffaaa! Ainda não estou de férias, mas falta pouco.
As últimas semanas têm sido de doidos.. Mas ontem aproveitei um bocadinho à noite para acabar uma peça (a bandolete) e fazer um par de brincos.
Já tinha saudades!

UUuffff..! I'm not in vacations yet, but I'm almost there!
Last weeks have been CRAZY. But last night I had a little time, so I finished a pice (the headband) and made a pair of earrings.
I missed crafting!

Friday is My Day!


Se não conhecem o trabalho da Heli, uma Finlandesa a viver na Turquia, então está na hora de conhecerem.
Eu sou a feliz dona de uma pregadeira panda, que adoro e uso muito frequentemente!

A Heli tem uma Feature no blog dela, que abre uma janela para um dia de uma artesã, à qual chama "Friday is My Day" (Sexta-Feira é o meu dia) e, qual não foi o meu espanto quando ela me convidou para fazer parte!

Diverti-me imenso a fotografar e a descrever o meu dia, se quiserem espreitar, está aqui (em inglês).


If you don't know Heli's work, a Finnish living in Turkey, it's time to go check it out.
I'm the happy owner of a Panda brooch, I love it and wear it often.

Heli has a feature in her blog, called "Friday is My day", where you can have a peek to someone's day! And, what a surprise it was when she invited me to be a part of it!
I had so much fun photographing and describing my day!
If you want to check it out, go here.

For the home

It has been a long time since my last post, life has been hectic, and.. well, I've been lazy.
No classes for a week now, it feels so good to have my old routine back! I mean, sleeping through weekends and not having to go to Lisbon every day... But, soon this laziness must be stopped, as I have 9 papers due next month, and one exam coming soon...

Some things have happen these last few days, some of them good, some of them not so good, but the greatest thing was getting my Secret Santa Gift from the EST team, my Secret Santa was Matchstickgirl aka Enchantedpond, and she sent me my favorite photograph from her shop, I LOVE IT!!!
I'm going to take pictures, I promise, but I tried and all of them came out blurry!
I'm going to hang my photo in my future house. And speaking of houses, today was furniture picking day and so I felt inspired to select a few of my favorites "for home".

I'll be back soon, I promise.
And sorry, no Portuguese this time, I told you, this laziness..

I love tea pots!

Scaparate



Há algum tempo atrás, fui contactada pela Scaparate, uma revista online Argentina, que pedia permissão para usar as minhas fotografias para publicação na revista.
Fiquei entusiasmada porque nunca me tinha acontecido algo do género!
A revista saiu dia 1 de Dezembro, está em Espanhol, mas tem artigos muito interessantes de criadores jovens e fora do mainstream.

E eu apareço várias vezes ;)




Some time ago, I was contacted by Scaparate, an Argentinian online fashion magazine.
They asked permission to use my
photos for their publication.

I was so excited! This is the first time something like this happens to me, it's so much fun!

The magazine was out on the December 1st, it's in Spanish, but you can find some great items from young and non mainstream designers!

Saudades do Verão


No Domingo esteve um excelente dia solarengo de Outono, e fui passear um bocadinho pela praia para ver o mar. Que saudades do Verão.. *suspiro*
Aproveitei e tirei umas fotos a uma nova pregadeira, para aproveitar a luz! Encontrei este excelente fundo, um dos pinos de madeira que protege as arribas!
É a minha pregadeira Bola Mágica, as semi-circunferências giram, e pode ser usado a gosto!



It was a great sunny Autumn day on Sunday, so I went to see the Ocean. I miss Summer so much.. *sigh*
I took my camera with me and took some photos of my new brooch. Found this amazing background, a wooden thingy (don't know how to say it in english, sorry), that protects us from falling down the rocks.
It's my Magic Ball Brooch (thank you Inger, for the title!). The knitted capsules move, so you can wear it as you like!
