Tive a minha primeira encomenda – que excitação! Um saco e uma carteira a condizer para uma bailarina de 14 anos, muito girlie, que gosta de cor-de-rosa e azul.

A febre dos retalhos é contagiosa… Tentei fazer esta experiência antes de me lançar em voos mais altos.
This quilting fever is contagious… I have tried to make a very simple one before embarking on greater adventures.

Martha’s crafts

2 Comments
Yesterday evening I took the time of watching several how-to crafts videos available on Martha Stewart “video library”. Although she gets on my nervs most of the times, she does present nice projects. And I love the spirit of homemade gifts, like this new homeowner’s welcoming gift (very American, in the best sense!)…
Or this baby shower by mail (version hometown box)…

Oh, and this felted knitting basket (recycling an old jumper)!

The loveliest shop: Labour and Wait (18 Cheshire St, London).
The objects I want:I’ve looked all over Lisbon searching for a milk pan just like this one in order to make hot cocoa… (I’m a big fan of enamel).
This bread box which is exactly the same as my grandmother’s (an original box from the 50’s).
And what about this ostrich feather duster? Quite luxurious!
