Crafty!

Hi!
Remember this pile of tiny pieces of fabric?
Ola!
Lembram-se do monte de pequenos "trapinhos"?


Well, I have been solving the puzzle, and it is getting in shape.
Bom, eu tenho andado de volta do "puzzle" e esta a tomar forma.



I am stuck because I would like to give it some movement with the quilting and I am not sure how am I going to do it.
Mas quero dar-lhe movimento com o acolchoado e ainda nao sei como fazer.

I have painted my son's room. The room had a dark brown color and I really didn't like it. It looks a lot more cheerful with the new colors: safron (orange) and almond.
Pintei o quarto do meu filho. O quarto tinha uma cor castanha escura e eu nao gostava. Agora esta mais alegre, cor-de-laranja (acafrao) e amendoa.






I decided to give some color to the furniture too. That will come in later posts.
Decidi pintar algumas pequenas pecas de mobilia. Mostrarei num proximo "post".

This one was a quick project:
Este foi um pequeno projecto:













no sewing here, kid's school glue, a piece of board paper and a piece of fabric.
sem costuras: cola da escola, um pedaco de cartolina e outro de pano.

These little "towels" and napkins are in the Green profile that I try to get in place and improve every day. I stopped buying and using paper napkins and dramatically reduced the use of paper towels. The cloth ones are washed with our clothes.
Estas toalhinhas e guardanapos estao no perfil "Verde" que nos queremos prosseguir e melhorar em cada dia. Eu ja nao compro guardanapos de papel e reduzi significantemente o uso de toalhas de papel. As de pano sao lavadas com o resto da roupa.

These are the bags and baskets I use for groceries: two beautiful baskets weaved in Portugal (I love them) and the cloth bags from my husband's meetings. I don't mind the "logos": They might not be pretty but I am not using plastic bags anymore.
estes sao os cestos e sacos que uso para ir as compras: dois lindos cestos artesanato de portugal (adoro-os!) e os sacos de pano que das conferencias do meu marido. Eu nao me importo com os "logos": podem nao ser bonitos mas a verdade e que eu deixei de usar sacos de plastico.
