Finalmente achei o que tanto tempo estava querendo e procurando - xícaras vermelhas com polka-dots. Fiz varias pesquisas pela net para achar algum lugar que vende, só no exterior e o maior problema que ninguém entrega até aqui. Eu quase tinha desistido, mas no sábado fomos em Santa Barbara D'Oeste e lá no shopping vi estas liiiiindas xícaras e tigelas, não resisti e levei duas de cada. Hoje comprei esta cafeteira, na verdade é leiteira mas a cafeteira tem o mesmo design só que é maior. Comprei e este lindo tecido para fazer toalha de mesa na cozinha. Aos poucos o vermelho vai aparecer mais e mais na minha pequena cozinha...feliz, feliz, feliz...
Desejando a todas uma semana abençoada e repleta de paz!!!
Finally, I found what I have been looking for a looong time - red polka-dot cups. I searched the net to find somewhere to buy but I found only outside the country and the biggest problem was that all online shops do not deliver to Brazil. I had almost given up, but on Saturday we went to Santa Barbara D'Oeste city and in the mall there I saw these cups and bowls, I could not resist and took two of each. Today, I bought this coffee pot actually, it is for milk, but they both have the same design only the coffee pot is bigger. And bought this beautiful fabric to make a tablecloth in the kitchen. Little by little the red colour will appear more and more in my small kitchen ... Happy, happy, happy ...
Wishing you all a blessed week ful with peace!

Boneca em rosa e marron / Pink & Brown Doll
Algum tempo atrás fiz esta boneca para a minha sogra . Ela é costureira e toda hora tem freguesas e aí algumas delas gostaram tanto da boneca dela que perguntar quem deu pra ela etc. Decidi fazer esta e deixar com ela para quem tiver interesse poder adquiri-la! Ela não tem nome pois a nova dona vai ter que escolher um.
Last year I made this doll for my mother-in-law. As she is a dressmaker and all the time her customers when they go to her they fancy the doll and ask her where she got it from etc. So I decided to make and leave this one at her place if someone else is interested can acquire it. She is without a name as her new owner is supposed to choose one.

Preparações para o inverno / Winter Preparations
O inverno está chegando e aí fiz este gorro para minha filha. Peguei o modelo de uma revista, mas claro tive que mudar a cor inves de usar branco comprei a cor preferida das meninas que é rosa. Ficou uma graça e agora é só esperar para esfriar e usar! :)
Winter is coming so I crocheted this bonnet for my daughter. I took the model from a magazine, but of course I had to change the colour instead of using white I bought the girls' favourite colour pink. It turned out quite cute and now we just have to wait to chil a bit and use it! :)

Sacos de café / Coffee Burlap Bags
Com crianças pequenas em casa muitas vezes é dificl achar o que preciso. Umas das coisas que se perdem com facilidade são os controles. Disaparecem assim do nada, e ninguem sabe...aí precisava de algum lugar para guardar-los. Vi varias ideias mas nenhuma do meu gosto, finalmente vi as almofadas feitas de pano de saco e simplesmente amei. Como sempre gostei de algodão cru, juta etc. decidi desta vez experimentar usando estes tão de sacos. Morando numa região produtora de café não foi dificil achar sacos de café que acho é o mais adequado para usar. E fiz esta almofadinha, enfeitada com croché, um pouco de linho para fazer os bolsos onde os controles vai ficar e tomara que não vão sumir mais!?!? Como o saco é bem grande fiz mais uma almofada bem mais símples mas acho que estas letras dizem tudo, enfeitei com uma florzinha de croché pois gosto muito destas flores. Tomara que as ciranças não a arranquem ;)
Having small children at home I often have hard time finding what I need. Some of the things that easily get lost are the remote controls. They dissappear just like that and nobody knows anything ... so I needed some special place to keep them. I saw several ideas but none of them to my taste, so finally I saw these burlap cushions and just loved them. I always liked raw cotton, jute etc... so I thought this time I will try using burlap. Living in a coffee producing region it was not hard to find coffee bags which I think is the most appropriate to use. So I made this cushion, embellished with crochet, a bit of linen for the pockets where the controls will stay and hopefully will not disappear anymore!?!? As the bag is quite big I made one more cushion much simpler but I think the letters say it all, adorned with a crocheted flower - I just love these flowers. Hopefully the chidren won't pull it out ;)

Rosas de jornal 2 / Newspaper Roses 2
Já tenho um buque lindo de rosas!!!! Desta vez usei outro PAP aqui Instructions for Paper Rose. Deste jeito as rosas ficam mais abertas e mais bonitas eu acho.
Now, I have a beautiful roses bouquet!!!! This time I used a different tutorial, you can find it here Instructions for Paper Rose. This way the roses are more open and lovelier I think.

Rosas de jornal / Newspaper Roses
Estes dias vi rosas feitas de jornal velho e simplesmente amei! Achei tão lindas. Pesquisei para achar alguma dica ou PAP como se faz, mas nada com detalhes e decidi experimentar para ver o que vai dar. Tirei foto de tudo e vou colocar aqui. É muito facil, não tem muitos segredos, só alguns detalhes - por exemplo depois de cortar o circulo meio ondulado achei necessario amassar o jornal para que fique mais facil na hora de formar a flor. Depois fiz algumas vezes e desfiz a flor que me ajudou no último etapa. Usei cola branca na hora de fazer a rosa. E sempre acho muito lindo enfeitando com pérolas, ajuda para distrair o olhar das imperfeições. Estas são as minhas primeiras rosas que fiz sem talo, mas acho que ficaria legal também se usar palitos e colocar num vaso.
I saw some roses made out of old newspapers and just loved them! I found them so beautiful. And I started to search to find some clue or step-by-step how to do them, but I found nothing with details and decided to try to make and see what will happen. I took pictures of my step-by-step and I'll attach here. It is very easy, there aren`t many secrets, just a few details - for example after cutting out the circle I found it necessary to squish a bit the paper which makes it easier when the flower is to be shaped. Afterwards I made and unmade the flower several times and this helped me at the final step. I used white glue to make the rose. And always I find very beautiful decorating with pearls, it helps to distract the eye of not seeing the imperfections. These are my first roses and I made them without a stalk, but I think it would be nice too if using some toothpicks and place the roses in a vase.

Meu relogio de morangos
Semana passada peguei o meu relogio junto com dois outros bordados que deixei para encuadrar. Agora já posso ver a hora na cozinha sem precisar de correr até a sala ou pedir as crianças toda hora. As fotos não ficaram muito boas mas acho que os vidros que foram colocados não são anti-reflexo mesmo que eu pedi.
Marcadores: bonecas, coelhos, bordados
morangos / strawberries,
ponto X / X stitch
