Pretty hairstyle
Today it was a bit cloudy, but I woke up in the morning wish for sun. Then I remembered of Elsie how-to about “How-to style a Summertime Twist” on her blog A Beautiful Mess (btw, this is a must see blog, she’s so inspiring!), and came up with a similar hair style.
This was the result (photo taken at the end of the day):
My hair is quite long and hard to define, but I felt it came out beautifully!

J. really needs to make me one of this! He is always complaining when I ask him to help me …

The Wool Cicle Workshop
O Ciclo da Lã from Tiago Pereira on Vimeo.
Aldeia.org is organizing a workshop on the 28th and 29th May about rural activities in extinction, called “The Wool Cicle” (“O Cliclo da Lã”). It has the following program:
- Walk with Shepherd and Sheep
- Clipping Wool
- Wool Wash
- Spinning
- Natural Dyeing
- Loom and Knitting Workshop
Doesn’t it sound great? Unfortunately it is in Miranda do Douro, very far from my hometown…
Change
There is a time (sometimes more than one) in every person’s life that a change is needed. When you’re a kid, you change between schools. When you’re a early teen, you change hair styles. When you’re graduating you change between boyfriends. When you’re a grown up, you change between jobs. When you have a family, you change between houses… That’s life!
For a certain number of reasons, this was not a good year for me. Lots of things did not go as well as I wanted, starting the year by loosing a very dear and close friend.
At the end of 2010 I am ready to write down what I want: I want a change!
Christmas Projects – II
On 2008 I have design a desk calendar with some personified me & J icons. This was a gift to J on Christmas!
January to April
May to August
September to December
Every icon of each month is personalized, like for example, the color difference between me and J on the Summer: I always get darker with the sun, but J always stay white. Hope you like it!
Christmas Projects – I
This year I have started to do some illustrations. My first illustration was on Valentines Day – my gift to J. I have drew us together and have printed in photograph paper. It came out beautifully!
Would you be my Valentine – February 2010
When my parents were celebrating their wedding anniversary I have done a similar drawn but with the two of them when they were young. They loved it! And they loved it so much that they asked me to do a similar illustration to their friends so they can give it on Christmas. Adding this to my other Christmas projects, I am guessing I will have so much work to do on the following weeks!
Inspirational colors
I love to surf on the web, searching for inspiration and maybe new projects to make.
I love the colors on Baby Panzner Blanket – Greenway (Ravelry) by Donna Yacino.

Having in mind my last post, I am super interested on buying some Capra Cashmere yarn, with 85% Merino Wool and 15% Cashmere. Have you seen the range of colors? Wonderful! Unfortunately this store is in the US, I have to find some European shop that sells this.
