“This is a book about creativity, gratification and independence.
About time honoured practices carried through to modern times.
About discovery and imagination.
This is a book about making things by hand.”

Obrigada! :: Thank You!
Will the book be published in other countries/languages?
I have no idea at this point… if later on it happens to be picked up by a foreign publisher, then yes!
Está Quase! :: Coming Soon!
Há dois anos fui desafiada a escrever um livro pelo editor da Marcador. Lembro-me da primeira conversa que tivemos via Skype: o João em Barcarena e eu em Staffordshire, com o Rodrigo bebé ao meu colo. Após tantos meses de trabalho intenso, o livro está quase a sair — está previsto para o fim do mês de Outubro! Escrevo neste blog há 8 anos e ter tido a oportunidade de publicar um livro é indescritível… estou mesmo contente.
Mal posso esperar por tê-lo nas minhas mãos e estou cheia de vontade de vos contar como foi o processo de escrever e fotografar tantos projectos novos. O livro vai estar à venda em todo o país e espero sinceramente que gostem do resultado!
I’ve got big news to share with you!
Two years ago I was invited by the editor of Marcador to write a book. I remember the first time we talked on Skype: João was in Portugal and I was in Staffordshire, sitting at my desk with baby Rodrigo on my lap. After so many months of intense work, the book is almost finished — it’ll be out later this month! I’ve been writing this blog for 8 years and I can’t tell you how happy I am to have had the chance to write a book.
I can’t wait to actually touch it with my own hands and I want to tell you how the process of writing and photographing so many new projects went. The book will be in Portuguese and will be for sale all over Portugal… I really hope you’ll like it!

Crescer :: Growing Up
They say that life returns to normal once your youngest child turns 3. I wonder if that’s true? My life has changed so much over the last years that I no longer no what “normal” really means, but I can’t deny the fact that as Rodrigo grows up our daily life becomes a little easier. He’s getting more independent, patient and talkative and wants to be a part of everything we do around the house.
Like most children, he finds the sewing machine utterly fascinating. He likes the sound it makes and he enjoys the light on and off, guiding (pulling) the fabric and playing with pins. He’s already helped me stuff a toy and he loves fabric scraps (especially novelty ones): he presses them with a cool iron and carefully puts them away in the fabric cupboard. Above all, he mimics everything I do.
In a month’s time we’ll start all over again!…
