WORK IN PROGRES

I´m totally into painting now. It is so good I finally started painting, because sometimes I just need to push myself into doing something, but when I get started I can´t stop!

Making some beautiful geometric fluorescent paintings, one of them will be a present to a friend of mine who´s birthday is next week, but ssshhh don´t tell anything!

 

 



LOVE THIS...

Really love this image of this dreamcatcher!

 



LONELY CACTUS

Yesterday I finally got to painting! Long time I didn´t paint anything and it felt so good!

The painting is called "Lonely Cactus" and I love the colors and the mountain detail. Hope you love it to!

HYACINTH BULB

I was reading Poppytalks blog yesterday and she gave me such a good idea! She posted about winter flowers with this beautiful picture with bulb flowers, wich reminded me I got a hyacinth bulb from my yoga teacher as a christmas present. I love hyacinths because they always bloom when it´s my birthday.

So I got this idea to make a hanging hyacinth in an old glass lamp cover. What I did was making a macramé string and tie it around, put some earth in it and then the bulb on top of the earth. Now I just have to wait it will grow and bloom, it will look great when it starts growing!

 

         

 

This picture below is where I got the idea from...

First at all, happy new year!

Hope you all had a great reveillon night, I had for sure!

My boyfriend and I went to a party in the mountains, there was a life band playing classics from the sixty´s, seventy´s and so on. My parents would of loved it, I know I loved  it!

 



GOAT

I´ve just discovered this band some days ago, but I totally adore them! It´s this very hippie, psycadelic rock and I think they are a quite recent band from sweden. I absolutely love them!!!

 



                            

AMOREIRA BEACH

Yesterday it was such a beautiful day, so my boyfriend invited me to go to the beach. We went with our dogs, to the Amoreira beach nearby the village Aljezur. This is my favorite beach, with its dunes, river, rocks and caves, I just love it!

Would love to have a mini caravan like this one! I would take it behind my van and travel around the world. Love the turqoise color and shape, I just love it!

 



MERRY CHRISTMAS...SWEET POTATO PIES

Merry christmas to everyone!

Today I have been busy making these sweet potato pies (I don´t know how it´s called in inglish) for the very first time and they came out very well! It is a traditional portugese recipe and my favorite christmas pie. I´m so happy because they really came out well and they taste even better! It is fried dough with a mixture of sweet potato, cinnamon, fennel and sugar in the middle, then they are sprinkled with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon and then, yum yum, you can eat them.

 



FRIENDS

Yesterday my friends Sara and Magda came and visit me. I hadn´t seen them for years! But now with the holiday season they were nearby so they decided to come and visit me. It was so good to be with them. We had some lovely snacks with tipical portuguese chouriço, cheese and this oh so good crab paté that my boyfriend made, accompanied with a "medronho" and red wine. We played a game of Scrabble, took crazy pictures and had a lot of fun. Thank you so much you crazy girls, that our friendship may last forever!

 

 



P.S. I MADE THIS

I was wondering on Bloglovin and found this oohh soo creative blog P.S. I made this. It is such a fun blog where you can find many cool and crazy ideas to make yourself. I just had to blog about it because I´m a crafty myself and for sure I´m gonna work out some of there ideas! You can see more here.

Isn´t this clutch a good idea? You can make it as you want, I´m gonna try it with thin leather or a nice fabric. And the hologram clutch is great to. I wanted to get one but now I will make it myself.

 

 



CHRISTMAS OUTFIT

Yesterday I went to yoga and after yoga my teacher (who is a great friend of mine) asked me if I wanted to join her to do some Christmas shopping. Me, of course, said yes and so we went. It was a very well spended day together with my friend and we had a lot of fun. I got myself a new outfit to wear on Christmas day and it was so cheap! Imagine in January when it is sales, it is gonna be even more cheaper and I´m gonna get wild!!!

The dress is from Springfield and did cost me only €12.99 and the oohh soo lovely booties are from Primark and did cost me €24.

I had never entered Springfield because I always had this idea about it that it was for spoiled rich people, but I got it so wrong! They have got the most lovely petitte dresses and absolutely not expensive, definetly gonna go back there in January and buy the whole shop!

 



ROCK CONCERT

This saturday my boyfriend wanted to surprise me and took me to a rock concert with the band WAKO. He took me to see this band, because they have played some years ago on one of the rock festivals my boyfriend used to organize. They were really great and they even gave me a free, very cool t-shirt, wich I´ll show later in a new post.

Take a look at some cool pictures I took of them while there playing.

 



CHRISTMAS FAIR

Today I´ve been selling on a christmas fair in my village. I will be there untill sunday, so more pictures will come, but here´s the first one, me with a funny smile...
