Is there something related to Slow Food??? So good...
One of my favorite dessert: Fruit Salad - strawberries, apple , mango and some fresh mint leaves! This is really a good way to finish a meal, isn´t it?
Pretty flowers in a simple vase complete the scenario of this little cozy restaurant.
Yummy, what a tasty afternoon!!!
Inside the restaurant...
Outside...
Sunday Morning: Time to organize all Mommy´s buttons by color. I have this very special tiny assistant that does it very well, look at that, she did all by herself!!! Thank you , Camila!
Furniture store, lots of beautiful wooden work , chairs, tables...
Look at this pretty skirt, we bought it at a used clothing shop, we always do that, and this one was so very new!!!! 100% cotton and flower pattern, just beautiful for a Sunday afternoon...
This wooden bench is cozy!
And this one, such a work of art!
This is Camila´s new PJ´s bag that she can hang on her door or near her bed. It always holds a set of PJ , sleeping socks and her little bunny Branquinha that she loves so much!
I came to this bag idea when I bought Sewing in no time written by Emma Hardy , full of fabulous ideas and colorful photos that I immediately had to make it!
It was fun to make it in one afternoon! I guess it took me more time for choosing the fabrics and its colours than sewing itself .
This is my friend Celia´s quilt, a magnificent masterpiece! Work in progress.
wood for fireplace or wood oven, maybe to bake some bread and goodies in this winter...
Local food and farmer´s market full of sweet natural things, wine and honey. I can´t resist them!
Yes we have lots of bananas!
artichokes, very famous around here, lots of producers...
Very Brazilian, isn´t it?
Hanging...
Corns, there are so many ways to cook them. What do you make in your kitchen with them?
Pumpkins and yellow, orange color everywhere. I really like that!
Wooden toys sailing the newest boat made by Camila with the Brazilian flag that she made herself.
Some of my studio corner I want to show you...
My new work: Circles
Some embroidery and appliqué technique has been used on this work.
Choosing the right color... , oh , hard job!
This is my messy lovely drawer full of treasure!
The other corner I spend most of my time in the studio. The table with the fantastic Olfa self healing cutting mat.
I´m sorry for this horrible light, I mean there wasn´t any decent natural light. Anyway...
By color: Pink
Purple
RED!! always RED. I heart Polka Dots!!!
The corner of the working table, no space for anything else. I need some more hours in a day to organize my sewing room.
Red boxes with pretty tags! And bugs! Thank you Sweet Bug!!
When my Mom told me she wanted to teach piano to Camila I was a little bit worried because of the language problem... Mom doesn´t speak Portuguese so well and Camila doesn´t speak Japanese ... But as my Sweet Bug friend said, "there are times that words come from our hearts" and she was so right.
A very carefully prepared tea...
... with some good friends and it´s all set.
This is my Tofu Strawberry which came from my dear friend Sweet Bug!
These pretty little candies was sent from my Dad who lives in Japan, yummy!
And I must tell you, I´m tired of so much rain!
But... I could find beauty in the raindrops.
My little girl holding another cute little one!
On the road, heading home...
Dinner at Chiado da Costela
Raindrops on the leaves, I like that!
Hey, look at your teeth, they are very very clean now!!!
Cheese!
