Another 2009 finishing

Good morning guys!

This was the last swap I was in last year. Its from a Flickr group I'm in and I was lucky enough to be paired again with one of my favourite girls in there (they are all great crafters and absolutely adorable girls, I must say!)

Isa is "just" the photo ninja in the group so I asked her to let me post those 2 here at my blog. I dunno how she does it, but all her pics are so clear and neat and she always makes such pretty productions on them... I admit: I am jealous! Lol. =)

Goodies sent along

This swap was to celebrate the group's annyversary and I tried to send her all goodies I thought she would like. She is also the "sewing machine ninja"! Lol. Cant wait to see what beautiful things she is gonna make with the tiny flowers fabric I sent her! Oh, that lil square thingy, where you can see "Aracaju/SE" is a ceramic magnet, painted by a local artist. =)

Hope you all are having a great day! Its raining here, such a relief after those last really hot days.

Hugs to all!

First finishing of the year!!!

From Cross Stitcher - Britain's No.1 Issue 210 (March 2009)

Ok, so it's really a way tiny lil finishing to start the year, but come on... Lol. It IS a finishing, right? And a waaay late one, may I say!

This is the Mini Mystery RR I signed in last year. Kate, from Nebraska/USA (dunno if she has a blog or some other space online) is the owner of this piece, and according to her, its gonna be turned into a gift for her British cab driver fiancée! Isnt it just sweet?! =)

Well, it took me forever to find the perfect design for this RR... Geee... Eventually my dearest friend Vickie helped me out with it and for it Im gonna worship the ground she steps! Love you, V!!!

TTFN...

Last posting in 2009 and a question

Ok, lets start with the question...
Must be something quite simple, but I just cant figure it out: how can I check out my follower's blog?
Mmmm... I tried and tried and ended up following myself! Lol. Anyone out there, plz, teach me! Everytime I click on the follower icon, it gets me to nowhere. I wanted to see the blogs of everybody who think I'm interesting enough to follow...
Now, wishing you all the best for 2010! Thank you all, girls, who taught me so much. Thanks for the laughs and friendships. Hope I can be more active here then I was by 2009.
Sending big hugs to everybody! *Ü*

Everybody loooooves a giveaway! Well... at least I do! Lol.
So The Teakettle Corner is offering a neat bunch of precious stash. All you need to do is follow the link, leave your entry on the post, become a follower and post a link to her blog on your blog.
Ready? What are you waiting for, girls?! *Ü*
Hugs!!!

Last finish of the year

And on a crafty note, here's my last finish of the year. =)

Those towels really were a hit this year!!! I made... mmm... 4 sets with this monogram?! Maybe 5... I cant recall it! Guess it tells I have really worked on a LOT of sets, huh? Lol. This one was made for a VERY VERY VERY special friend at CA, USA.

I made it secretly and my friend had it earlier, back at November, and was kind and good enough to hold it untouched till Xmas. Oh boy... I really love the way this monogram looks. *Ü*

Hiting the road again

Hi, guys!

Almost 20 days away from blogging and so many things happened... Let me update you.

A few weeks ago Adilson got a transfer from his work and we needed to move again. Destination: Sapucaia do Sul/RS (Brazil). As usual, we went to visit our families on the way, so we took the car, and the babies and hit the road. Take a look at the map...

Exactly! Crazy, huh?! 3300km (2050.524 mi). =O

Now, I have good and bad news... The good one is that I took lots of pics to show you, guys.=) The bad news is that I only recalled to start taking pics when I had crossed the entire state of Bahia! Grrr...Anyways, let me show you a bit of my country! (very very proud Braz girl over here!)

This is the North of Espírito Santo, small state between Rio and Bahia. I love that place... So fresh and quiet.

And it wasnt just me who was enjoying the ride! Lol. Cant you tell?! =P

Lots of banana trees outside the car window. Not a big fond, but it was pretty to see.

Sunny days all days... Gotta love it =)

The green tunnel!!! Love how fresh it's under the trees.



Lil Capixaba chapel. Capixaba is how ppl who has born at the state of Espírito Santo is named.

Ive a lot more pics to show you guys, but will leave those for later today. We are still settleing everything, so...
Stay tunned for more views of Brazil! Big hug!*Ü*

Happy Bday to me!

Yes! Its me! 34 yo... Gee... Where is time going?! =(
Heading Rio right now, to spend some time with my fam. See you guys in a few days.
Hugs from sunny Brazil!
