Xmas was fine: we woke up in our new appartment, we managed to spend time in various family houses, we opened up presents…
The following days were spent tidying up our home (we still have some moving boxes but now they’re all in one single room: great progress!). I invited my mum, grandmother and cousins to a house inauguration tea party, which you can see in the picture above. We drunk our tea in the three new GreenGate cups I bought a couple of weeks ago in Madrid: one for my mum, one for my grandmother and one for myself. The towel came from Tiago‘s grandparents house and it’s embroided with traditional motives from Viana do Castelo.

Este ano o nosso pinheiro (o nosso primeiro pinheiro de Natal!) é natural e será replantado em Janeiro. Tinha decidido enfeitá-lo apenas com objectos feitos à mão, como este anjinho feito pela Saracoloridos que comprámos na Afinal de contas, em Sintra, mas não resisti a estes pássaros de vidro do IKEA.
This year our tree (our very first Xmas tree!) is natural and will be replanted in January. I had decided to decorate it with nothing but handmade ornaments (like this little angel by Saracoloridos we bought at Afinal de contas in Sintra) but I could not resist these glass birds from IKEA.

Os dois enfeites que se seguem foram usados, há um ano, para enfeitar uma certa mesa. A ideia foi tirada da revista Martha Stewart Holidays do ano passado.
The following ornaments were used a year ago to decorate a certain table. The idea is from last year’s Martha Stewart Holidays.


E agora é tempo de pôr em prática todas as ideias para presentes de Natal que foram compiladas no Sew, Mama, Sew! ao longo do mês de Novembro!
And now it’s time to put the Handmade Holiday’s list from Sew, Mama, Sew! into practise!
