Winter again..nothing new, right?;)

I'm alive and crafting (a little)!:D
.
Hello girls! No, i did not emigrated or anything like that, nor forgotten about you! But these last few weeks have not been easy! After Hubby went 2 times to the hospital, as I told you about, was William's turn to be sick ... an ear infection. I was hoping if he would reach his 2 years old without taking an antibiotic, but for 2 months i could't:( And I think he only had fever one or two times before and the worst that happened to him was having a cold for about 3 times, but nothing special.
And because of that this month has been weak in crafts! And also because I'm still without my computer! There's been 2 months and a week now! Can you believe it??:(
I keep trying to quickly finish my Gorjuss which, says Nia, already lost her year in school lol She has already her legs since the last time I showed you ... not bad at all... for me anyway!:p I could't take pictures yet, but i'll show you in the next post ... till then i may do a little more stitches:D
In scrap i also made some more things ... at the end of March, which i want to show you. :)
This past weekend i spent 2 fantastic days! For the 5 consecutive year there was a national meeting of scrapbooking, in which were four designers to represent well known scrap brands! It was fantastic! Loved It! In the next post i'll show you pictures and tell you all about it;)
Kisses to all and have a good holiday (Labor Day). I'll be working: D

Father's day and Easter...what a month:)
.
It seems incredible girls, but after 1 month and a half, i'm still without my computer! It arrived a monitor but it seems they were wrong in the reference and sent the wrong one. Now i'm waiting again ... it seems that they are not easy to find here in Portugal. I do not know if it's true or not, but i do know that i'm going crazy!
Anyway .... moving on, this month i've promised that i would end my gorjuss, but I could not! :( In fact i barely touched her, truth to be told! The whole month was dedicated to scrapbooking. I did a lot of little things for friends and for father's day and I still have some more to do until the beginning of April.
Today I want to show you a screen that I made for hubby, to be offered by Guilherme :) It was not quite as well as I wanted, but time is never enough, so it came out this:)
He really liked (or well disguised: D) and that's what matters. I also gave him (indeed, William did, of course!) a photo session with just the 2 of them :) He's always complaining that he has few photos with his son, so now he can not complain anymore :)
The father's Day was not very easy because he (the father) went urgently to hospital with kidney stones ... horrible pain, poor daddy. Then there the pain went way with the medication they gave him. However this week he returned to the emergency room with the same aches and pains and they saw that the stone is not out yet :/ He's now without pain, but you never know when it can strike again. :/ And he's not even 30 years old! I've already told him that he's getting old lol
Before I go I want to show you is how my gorjuss is now :) The last time I took her was in February from last year, imagine! This was how she looked that time:)
Now she is a little bigger, though still without legs: D
I've promised to myself that in April I will just dedicate myself to my Gorjuss girl and put away scrapbooking for a little time, since this month i almost didn't stitched and i miss it a lot!:)
Girls ... have a fantastic Easter, with some (not many that they are bad for balance and cholesterol!: P) sweets and, above all, joy and smiles with your family!
kisses to you all!

Anyone still out there??
Fiquei sem computador...estraguei o monitor e continuo à espera que mo arranjem!! Já ando a desesperar, porque apesar de poder usar o do marido (como agora!) não é a mesma coisa, pois o meu tem as minhas fotos e as minhas coisinhas....parece que sem ele, fico perdida e nem tenho tanta vontade de vir à net porque lá é que tenho os meus sites e tudo organizadinho. Vocês entendem-me, certo? E desculpam-me pela falta de comparência, sim? :( Prometo que durante esta semana me actualizo nos blogs...estou cheia de saudades de vos ler!!
Entretanto a vida continua, pois...e o frio e chuva também!! Se a primavera não começa em breve e a sério, eu dou em doida!!
Este mês só tenho um objectivo de ponto cruz: terminar a minha Gorjuss!! E mesmo assim não sei se o conseguirei! É mês de aniversários, dia do pai e outras comemorações e então quero fazer umas coisinhas na minha outra paixão...o scrapbooking :D Tenho de vos mostrar algumas coisas que tenho feito e também a evolução da minha Gorjuss:)
Hoje mostro-vos uma tag que fiz para uma troca de um grupo de scrappers a que me juntei há uns meses. Todos os meses temos uma parceira para a qual enviamos uma tag alusiva ao mês. Desta vez mostro-vos a de Fevereiro, porque a de janeiro está no meu computador, pois:(
Esta não ficou bem ao meu gosto, mas foi um final do mês atribulado e foi o que saiu...de qualquer forma divirto-me sempre a fazê-las por isso já vale a pena :)
Adoro esta arte também e só tenho pena de não ter mais tempo para me dedicar a ela! E o material que existe, é de nos deixar loucas! Descobri uma loja de scrapbooking no Porto que é de perder a cabeça...não imaginam...consegui lá ir no sábado e vim de lá depenada...mas feliz! :D (a meia hora de ti, Nia!!:p)
Tenham uma boa semana meninas! :)
.
My God ... almost for a month that i don't write anything here and I either have not been able to visit your blogs! : (I'm so sorry girls ... :/
I'm without my computer for all this time... I blew the monitor and i'm still waiting that they finish to fix it!I'm driving a little crazy here, because although i can use the husband's computer (like right now!) it's not the same thing as being in my own computer, which has all my photos and my things ... it seems that without it, I'm kind of lost and even don't have so much will to come to the internet, because there I have my onw sites and everything organized. Do you understand me, right? And excuse me for not show on your blogs, yes? : ( I promise that I update this week on the reading blogs ... I'm missing reading you!!
Meanwhile life goes on, right...and so as the cold and rain!! If springs do not start soon, i'll go nuts!!
This month i just have one cross stitching goal: to finish my Gorjuss girl!! And i don't know if i will do it! It is a month of birthdays, Father's Day and other celebrations and i want to do a few things in my other passion ... scrapbooking: D I have to show you some things that i've done and also the evolution of my Gorjuss :)
Today i'm showing you a tag that I made for an exchange of a group of scrappers that I've joined a few months ago. Every month we have a partner to whom we sent a tag allusive to each month. This time I show you the February one, because January is on my computer :(
This one was not quite to my taste, but it was a complicated end of the month and that's what came out ... anyway I always have fun doing it, so it's always worth it :)
I love this art too and i just regret that i don't have more time to devote myself to it! And the material that there is, is to lose your head! I found a scrapbooking store in Porto that is sooo great... you can not imagine ... I went there last Saturday and came from it much more poor ... but happy! : D (a half hour from you, Nia !!:p)
Have a good weekend girls! :)

Flu, cat and paper...and so was my week :p
Mesmo que eu quisesse celebrar o carnaval (apenas quando era miúda que adorava vestir os vestidos à princesa...agora já não lol) teria sido impossível.
Aqui o maridão ficou doente e não contente em estar refilão sozinho resolveu pegar ao resto da malta...portanto a seguir fiquei eu e quase ao mesmo tempo o Guilherme :( Mas com ele é que foi pior, claro...tem outras resistências e defesas e eu que nunca o tinha visto ficar com febre ou assim murcho, fiquei em pânico. Levei-o ao médico e tudo, mas é só uma virose...dessas que andam a contaminar tudo e todos por aí.:( Ainda não está bom...até ficou rouco e com tosse, embora já sem febre, mas custa mesmo vê-lo assim mais em baixo quando normalmente é tão vivaço e brincalhão. Enfim...é normal entre as crianças, eu sei. Irá recuperar não tarda! :)
Entretanto os meus crafts também "sofreram" pq houve 2 ou 3 noites que nem lhes consegui pegar...de qualquer forma estava tão focada em terminar o gatinho de inverno que no sábado à noite consegui! :D
Voilá:D
Ah e hoje também me apetece mostrar algo feito com papel, a minha outra paixão, como sabem:D
No final do mês tive mais uma Sizzix Night e desta vez fizémos umas pregadeiras em papel. Nunca tinha feito tal coisa, mas é para isso que os workshops servem, certo?:)
E é isto por hoje, vou bordar mais um pouco antes de ir dormir a correr para mais um dia de trabalho! :)
Portem-se mal, mas com classe! :D beijinhos*
.
I must been suffering some kind of punishment for not being must found of Carnival (i'm sorry my dear friends in Brazil .. though the carnival in your country (and in Venice: D) is a completely different thing), because since the middle of last week to now that things have not been easy.
Even if I wanted to celebrate the carnival (and i just did it when I was a kid and loved to dress like a princess :D.. not anymore lol) would have been impossible.
Dear hubby got sick last week and not happy to be alone on his disease, decided to infected the rest of the family .. so next it was me and almost at the same time was Guilherme :( But with him it's worse, of course ... he has other strengths and defenses and I had never seen him get a fever or just be wiithered so I panicked a little. I took him to the doctor and everything, but it's just a virus .. those who are "walking" around here to contaminate everything and everyone:(
He's not yet completely well ... meanwhile he got cough and he's quite hoarse, although with no fever right now, but it costs even more to see him so down when he's usually so cheerful.:( Anyway ... it is normal among children, i know. He will get better soon!:)
Meanwhile my crafts also suffered with it, because for 2 or 3 days i couldn't touch them :( But i was so decided to finish my winter cat that saturday night i did it! :D
Voilá:D
It tooked me a little longer than I wanted, to finish, because, according to my goals, i should have already completed it at the beginning of the month, but Iwas late for 9 days...it could be worse ehehe
And today i also want to show you something made with paper, my other passion: D
At the end of the month i had another Sizzix Night and this time we made some paper brooches. I had never done such a thing, but that's why we have workshops, right?:)
They are not perfect but i really liked the paper we have used and now i know how it is done and can have ideas for some future projects!:)
So that's it for now...i'm off to stitch a little more before i go to sleep in a hurry so i can be fresh for another working day!:)
Be bad, ladies...but classy! :D Kisses*

Still Christmas? nooo....:p
Com a brincadeira já estamos em Fevereiro e eu não escrevia nada aqui desde o black out (que ainda durou 2 longos dias).
De qualquer forma, tenho tentado sempre fazer um pouco dos meus crafts....ponto cruz e scrap e ainda alguns workshops lá no meio, dos quais vos tenho que falar e mostrar o que tenho feito por lá.
Entretanto e como dizem que o natal é sempre que um Homem quiser, hoje apetece-me que ainda seja:)
Logo no inicio de Janeiro terminei (finalmente) uma rena que tinha iniciado em dezembro e que iria ser para oferecer, como já vos tinha dito, mas a coisa complicou-se e vai ficar para o natal deste ano ehehe De qualquer forma, quero mostrar-vos :)
Continuei na minha onda de ponto cruz que me avassalou no inicio do ano e tenho quase mais um gatinho do SAL#4 terminado. Volto em breve para vos mostrar!
Prometo que no resto da semana irei ler todas as vossas novidades..posso-me atrasar, mas chego lá! :)
Beijinhos e boa semana!
.
I honestly do not know where the time goes, but it goes somewhere because it disappears in front of my eyes and i can not do anything about it!:(
And we are in February and I did not wrote anything here since the blackout (which still lasted for two long days).
Anyway, i've been keep trying to do a little of my crafts .... cross stitch and scrap and even some workshops in my scrap store which i'll have to talk you about it and show you what I've done there.
Meanwhile and as they say that Christmas is whenever a Man wants, today I feel a little bit still in christmas mood :)
In early January i (finally) finished a reindeer that had started in December and that would be a gift, as i've already told you, but the time turned complicated (as usually!) and will be for Christmas this year ehehe Anyway, I want to show you :)
And right after, I began to stitch Santa from SAL # 2 from Margaret Sherry blog! Yes, i had not yet finished the 2011Christmas SAL: P But I finally did it!: D
I really liked to stitch this Santa .. I think because it was already out of the season eheh However both will be awaiting a worthy end until next Christmas :)
I kept on my cross stitching fever which attacked me in the beginning of this year and have almost another kitten from SAL # 4 finished. I'll be back soon to show you!
I promise that I will read all your news until the end of the week...i may be late, but i'll be there! :)
Kisses to you all and have a great week!;)

No Power:(
.
Hoje podia ter sido um belo dia para eu bordar bastante....muita chuva, granizo, vento na ordem dos 140km/h lá fora e muito frio....já que sair de casa era quase impossível sem correr o risco de sermos levados com o vento (e só dava para irmos para centros comerciais, coisa que não me estava a apetecer muito), restava ficar mesmo por casa.
Brincar com o filhote (e com o maridão) e dar-lhe os mimos todos que durante a semana não consegui dar e nas horas que ele dormia aproveitar para bordar bastante, enquanto assistia às minhas novelas de toda a semana.
Cenário fantástico não? Pois....mas como eu moro na aldeia (não moro, mas a minha irmã diz que sim), a electricidade foi-se por volta das 11 h da manhã e ainda não voltou! (é quase 1h da manhã quando escrevo isto!)
Passado 5 horas de estar em casa sem luz e sem tv, já não sabia o que fazer para entreter o Guilherme, porque além de ele não poder ver os bonecos dele, ainda tinhamos a sala, onde ele tem os brinquedos todos, às escuras:/ Para lhe dar o almoço tive de ir a casa da minha mãe aquecer-lho, porque não tenho gás para poder fazer isso no fogão:/ Assim sendo, pegámos nas coisas todas, pedimos boleia à minha irmã, pois o meu carro estava trancado na garagem cujo portão é movido a quê? Electricidade, pois claro! , e viémos para casa dos meus pais lol
Estivémos lá até à pouco, mas entretanto tivémos que voltar para pôr o Gui a dormir e pronto....não há net (só tenho a 3G do ipad e enquanto o ipad tiver energia!), não há tv, não há telefone, não há luz nem água quente...parece que voltámos ao tempo das cavernas lol E logo hoje, sábado à noite, que não tenho sono nenhum, amanhã não tenho que acordar cedo e podia agora estar horas a bordar!:( Mas sem luz fica díficil....enfim...vou aproveitar para me actualizar por mais alguns blogs e responder a uns emails atrasados....enquanto aqui a bateria deixar....29% neste momento:p
Foi mesmo só um post a lamentar-me lol Espero amanhã conseguir vir mostrar-vos uns bordados que acabei e outros que comecei!;)
Bom domingo!;)
.
My dear foreign friends, in a short version, just a few lines to complain about the fact that we have no power in the house since 11am:/
Portugal (and some contries in Europe) are having really bad weather this weekend and my city was quite affected, so we had no electricity the entire day and all night, i bet:( It's been raining a lot, with lots of strong wind and very cold. But to be without power for a whole day its not funny:( We went to my parents house during the afternoon, even because i had to feed little William! But we have now return to put him in the bed and we still have no light, tv, phone or hot water.
It could be a great day to be in the house and stitch a lot...even because i'm not sleepy yet, but i can't do anything besides go to bed lol
I hope i can return tomorrow and show you some stitches that i had finish and others that i've started:)
Have a great sunday!;)

Christmas review :)
E, antes de mais, e como primeiro post do ano, nunca é tarde para vos desejar um fantástico 2013!!
Fui desejando em alguns blogs pelos quais tenho passado, mas se ainda não cheguei a todos, fica já aqui este desejo...que seja um ano cheio de saúde, alegria, crafts, criatividade e, acima de tudo, muita amizade! :)
Como sabem, nos últimos meses virei-me mais para a minha nova paixão, o scrapbooking, daí que na época de natal as (poucas) coisinhas que fiz para algumas amigas foram dessa arte...basicamente, fiz postais (e alguns pormenores em embrulhos) que enviei para vários lados do mundo. :)
E é isso que hoje vos quero mostrar...tenham em mente que sou nova nisto, portanto foram bem simples....mas não imaginam como ficou a minha mesa de trabalho no final...um caos!! :P
Por acaso, ando com saudades de bordar...tanto assim é que desde o inicio do ano que peguei no pai natal do SAL do blog da Margaret Sherry fãs que ainda me faltava fazer (de 2011!) e está quase no final!:)
No inicio de dezembro ainda comecei a bordar uma rena muito fofa que era suposto virar um enfeite de natal, mas acabei por bordar pouco (a falta de tempo!:()e só a terminei em janeiro lol Estes 2 bordados de natal já vão ficar para finalizar neste próximo natal ehehe
Ainda vos quero mostrar umas coisinhas que fiz em mais uns workshops em dezembro, mas fica para um próximo post para não vos cansar muito ehhe
Bom fim-de-semana! :)
.
Hello girls! :)
And first and foremost, and as this is the first post of the year, it is never too late to wish you a fantastic 2013!
I've been wishing on some blogs which i have passed by, but i still didn't went to everyone, so it's a good place to say it :) And i reall wish you all a year full of health, joy, crafts, creativity, and above all, great friendship! :)
As you know, in the latest months, I've turned over more to my new passion, the scrapbooking. That's why that in the Christmas season the (few) little things I did for some friends were from this art ... basically i made christmas postcards (and some details on envelopes and packages) that I've sent to a few places around the world :)
And that's what I want to show you today ... keep in mind that I'm new at this, so they were pretty simple .... but you don't even imagine how my desk was in the end of all this handwork... chaos! : P
It weren't complicated things, but they gave me great pleasure to do! I have this whole year to improve and learn new techniques. Never forgetting the cross stitch, of course!
As a matter of fact, i've been missing cross stitching ... so much that since the beginning of the year that i've started the Santa from the SAL#2 of Margaret Sherry Blog (from 2011!) and i'm almost finishing it! :)
In early December i even began to stitch a very cute reindeer that was supposed to turn into a Christmas ornament, but I ended up not stitching much (lack of time!: () and just finished in January lol These 2 Christmas stitchings will already be to finalize this next Christmas ehehe
Still want to show you a few things I've done in a few workshops that i had in December, but it will be to a next post, because i don't want to bother you much more ehehe
Have a nice weekend! :)

Almost in the end of another year...
Ainda por cima tanto a consoada como o almoço de natal foram aqui em casa, por isso imaginam o trabalho doméstico por aqui. Acho que finalmente já não tenho louça para lavar desses dias! lol
De qualquer forma, espero que tenham tido todas um natal fantástico...com muita saúde e muitos sorrisos e alegria entre os que amam :)
Entretanto quero-vos mostrar umas lembrancinhas muito fofas que chegaram aqui a casa até ao natal.:)
Começo pela amiga Simone (que foi a ordem pela qual os recebi:)) que enviou um postal handmade muito fofo. Obrigada querida, mais uma vez :)
Entretanto, foi a vez da Francesca, que faz parte do blog da Margaret Sherry fãs :) Obrigada mais uma vez! Tudo muito lindo! Aquele calendário da Toscana, a minha região favorita de um país que adoro...Itália :) ..vai ficar na minha secretária o ano todo para eu sonhar que estou de volta a Itália :)
E bem pertinho do dia de natal recebo a coisa mais fofa da Nia...uma bonequinha linda e delicada com umas cores que eu adoro:) Obrigada linda, mais uma vez, pelo tempo que dedicaste a fazer-me uma prendinha tão linda:)
Antes que cá não consiga voltar antes do final do ano, quero-vos desejar já uma fantástica passagem de ano e um excelente 2013!! Que o novo ano vos traga tudo de bom!:)
Beijinhos a todas!:)
.
I promised I would still come back here to wish you a Merry Christmas, but i couldn't(Those days were very agitated until Christmas day ... I think I was about 5 days without turning on my computer, which for me is a long time! But between last hours purchases, preparations for Christmas and work, i had left time to sleep ... and very few!
On top of everything, both lunch and Christmas eve were here at home, so imagine the housework around here. I think i finally do not have to any dishes to wash from those days! lol
Anyway, I hope you had all a fantastic Christmas ... with health, much happiness and many smiles among those who you love :)
Menawhile i want to show some very cute giftsthat arrived here the house until Christmas. :)
Starting by dear friend Simone (that was the order in which I received :)) who sent a handmade postcar very cute. Thank you so much once again:)
Then it was Francesca turn, who is part of the Margaret Sherry fan blog :) Thanks again my dear! All very beautiful! That calendar of Tuscany, my favorite region of a country that I love... Italy ... :) It'll be at my desk all year so i can dream that I'm back to Italy :)
And very close to Christmas day I get the cutest thing from Nia ... a beautiful and delicate doll with some colors that I adore...just beautiful :) Thanks, again, specially for the time you dedicated to do me such great gift! :)
Before that i can't return here before the end of the year, I wish you have a fantastic New Year's eve and a great 2013! May the new year bring you all the best :)
Kisses to you all :)
