cheia por aqui, muito trabalho ainda por fazer, cansaço e algum soninho à mistura... Bordei pouco (falta ainda a lua para terminar o cabeçalho do Halloween Rules) mas consegui completar a missão do IHSW e visitar os outros 165 blogs, muito blog para visitar mas também novas amigas para conhecer :) heheheh &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não tenho qualquer dúvida de que podemos conhecer pessoas maravilhosas pela blogosfera e criar grandes e fortes laços de amizade :D E essa amizade pode-se sentir nas mais variadas formas, um pequeno gesto alegra os nossos dias quando menos esperamos... seja num comentário simpático =) numa troca de emails que vira uma conversa animada :) ou mesmo numa troca de tweets que nos fazem rir e abstrair do dia-a-dia, como se a nossa amiga estivesse bem ali na mesa ao lado :D &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Também pode chegar até nós em pequenos pózinhos de pirlimpimpim que se transformam em sorrisos e carinho quando abrimos um envelope =))))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Da &lt;a href="http://anniebebop.blogspot.com/"&gt;Annie&lt;/a&gt;, um miminho antecepido para o S.Valentim :)&lt;br /&gt;Uma adorável base de copos que ela mesma bordou e costurou!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KnWFVWxFkws/TyE11LFxvYI/AAAAAAAAOSM/UIgd3YZxAW4/s360/from%252520Annie.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"May your day be filled with...

I stitched only a bit (I'm missing the moon to complete the header on Halloween Rules) but somehow I managed to accomplished the mission for IHSW and visit the other 165 blogs, many blogs to visit but also many new friends to meet :) heheheh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no doubt that we can meet wonderful people through the blogosphere and make big and strong bonds of friendship :D A friendship that can be felt in many forms, a small gesture fills our days with smiles when we least expect... it can be in a nice comment =) in an email exchange that becomes a joyful conversation :) or even an exchange of tweets that make us laugh and forget the stress of the day, as if our friend was right there at the next desk :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It can also reach us in the shape of pixie dust that turns into smiles and affection when we open an envelope =))))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://anniebebop.blogspot.com/"&gt;Annie&lt;/a&gt; sent me my first valentine, the most lovely coaster! =)&lt;br /&gt;From &lt;a href="http://cibelestudart.blogspot.com/"&gt;Cibele&lt;/a&gt;, a handmade postcard, sweet and delicious cupcake!

Esta é uma das vantagens de fazer um SAL com uma amiga, foi a Cathey que me avisou da minha asneira :p hehehehe Relvado refeito, falta a lua, a abóbora e a palavra Halloween para terminar o cabeçalho. Ainda assim, não foi um mau progresso para meio fim-de-semana :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E o vosso fim-de-semana, como foi? :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;My weekend was half-sabotaged by things I'd rather do during the week (instead of leaving it for these two days)... cleaning the house and laundry :p But it had to be done... not all bad, having a good thing to do after, helps to do all the rest faster ;) hehehhe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday morning we went out for breakfast and some shopping :) In the afternoon I cleaned up the house, washed and ironed clothes, I even made a Winter wreath for the front door :D At night, I grabbed my needles and it was time for Halloween Rules!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Sunday I had to stitch the lawn below the graves again =/ I stitched in Blackbird where it's supposed to be Moss! This is one of the advantages of stitching with a friend, Cathey told me about my screw up :p hehehehe Lawn redone, now it's missing the moon, the pumpkin and the word Halloween to finish the header. Still, not a bad progress for half-weekend :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And how was your weekend ? :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.armazemdodesign.com/private/smiles2/limpeza6.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-191685035255723893?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/191685035255723893/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2012/01/ihsw-housework-weekend.html#comment-form' title='31 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/191685035255723893'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/191685035255723893'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2012/01/ihsw-housework-weekend.html' title='IHSW + housework = weekend'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-68GjPsVEmoI/Tx2dvvKdNFI/AAAAAAAAORE/yy1TDFiphn0/s72-c/Cartoon-HouseHoldChores.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>31</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-1591577114344125523</id><published>2012-01-20T22:28:00.002Z</published><updated>2012-01-20T22:31:17.849Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Halloween Rules'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SAL'/><title type='text'>pre - ISHW :)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E o fim-de-semana começa.. agora! :D hehehee&lt;br /&gt;Acabei a semana com o trabalho atrasado, com imensas coisas para fazer em casa e a querer passar os próximos dois dias apenas a bordar.. ai- ai- vai ser dificil gerir tudo :p Penso nisso amanhã, uma coisa de cada vez e tudo se faz ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eu ainda estou em êxtase com a Bluebell, naquela fase em que se sentem borboletinhas no estômago só de a olhar e vê-la prontinha =) E as vossas mensagens ainda me fizeram sorrir mais!! Obrigada por todos os comentários tão simpáticos :D O mérito é todo da Nora Corbett, eu só bordei :p heheheh&lt;br /&gt;Tal como as minhas Gorjuss, esta Pixie também precisa de companhia, não pode ficar filha única senão vai sentir-se sózinha, não acham? Podem contar que vão ver outra fadinha por aqui.. em breve ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agora segue-se a tarefa do mês para o meu SAL com a &lt;a href="http://pumpkinpatchandco.blogspot.com/"&gt;Cathey&lt;/a&gt;, comecei a bordar o Halloween Rules!

Bons bordados :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;And the weekend starts.. now! :D hehehee&lt;br /&gt;I'm closing my week with my work behind schedule, with plenty of things to do at home... and I want to spend the next two days just stitching -uh -uhuuu - it's going to be difficult to manage everything :p Well, I'll think about that tomorrow, one thing at a time and all will be done ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm still in extasy with Bluebell, I feel butterflies in my stomach when I look and see her finished =) And your messages made ​​me smile even more! Thanks for all the comments, so nice :D Nora Corbett has all the merit, I just stitched :p heheheh Like it happened with my Gorjuss girls, this Pixie needs company too, she can't be an only child or she will feel alone, don't you think? You can expect to see another fairy here... soon ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, my task of the month on my SAL with &lt;a href="http://pumpkinpatchandco.blogspot.com/"&gt;Cathey&lt;/a&gt;, I started Halloween Rules! Cathey shared her fabric with me, we will both stitch on 32ct lilac linen :)&lt;br /&gt;The picture sets my starting point for IHSW, let's see if I'll be a good hermit and make a great progress on the weekend! :p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a great weekend!

That's how it is, it's part of life, we are always learning something more, improving ;) But... there's no love like the first love!

Foi jantar e sair logo, já não deu tempo de passar por aqui nem nos vossos blogs, hoje vou me redimir disso ;) ehhehehe Vimos o último filme do Sherlock Holmes, não teve momentos tão engraçados como o primeiro mas gostei bastante mais deste, o jogo foi mais cativante :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ora bem, mostrando os meus últimos bordados terminados em 2011! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para a minha troca de Natal com a &lt;a href="http://butterfly-butterflywings.blogspot.com/"&gt;June&lt;/a&gt;, bordei um bonequinho de neve da San-Man, faz muito tempo que estava na minha lista de preferidos!! Bordei em linho azul claro e para o verso utilizei o tecido que se vê de fundo:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-9hhdtA-WjZg/TwwN66oEQnI/AAAAAAAAOG4/zXpH52uZeIE/s360/xmas%252520swap%252520for%252520June%252520%2525281%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Kisses from Heaven&lt;/b&gt;, by San-Man Originals&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para a &lt;a href="http://lumiruusu-victorian-rose.blogspot.com/"&gt;Maija&lt;/a&gt;, uma reninha da Cross Stitcher Magazine...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-kxIpxsLlIaY/TwwN6Aq52KI/AAAAAAAAOGw/n1Qc6cFBDGg/s454/for%252520Maija%252520%2525281%252529.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... e outra para a &lt;a href="http://everythingetsy.com/"&gt;Kim&lt;/a&gt; :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-iW9wjBVuzUQ/TwwN6BAmDvI/AAAAAAAAOG0/dBddLiB6uio/s360/for%252520Kim.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sabendo que a &lt;a href="http://firefliescatsinthegarden.blogspot.com/"&gt;Noni&lt;/a&gt; adora gatinhos, para a troca de postais da Margaret Sherry só podia sair gato!!! ;) heheheh Dei um pequeno twist ao meu jeitinho =) Em vez de bordar o azevinho que o gato trazia ao pescoço, como está no gráfico, fiz as folhinhas em feltro e as bagas em missanga. Rematei com o mesmo num tamanho um pouco maior, no canto superior do postal :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-nstV3ZIP5Do/TwwN6AQ_CXI/AAAAAAAAOGs/Kdmx19Xx9M8/s360/Christmas%252520card%252520exchange%252520MSherry.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E finito nas linhas de 2011!! :D Acho que finalmente postei tudo o que fiz no ano que já vai lá atrááááás :p heheheh Agora, trabalhar e aproveitar os furinhos do dia para visitar os vossos blogs e encher as vossas caixas de email :D &lt;br /&gt;Feliz terça para todos!!! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Last night I was supposed to returned and post my last stitching from 2011 but... we ended up going to the movies! I had to go out right after dinner, there was no time to come here or even to visit your blogs, today I will redeem myself ;) ehhehehe We watched Sherlock Holmes - A Game of Shadows, not as many funny momments as the first but I liked this much more, the game was more captivating :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, now showing my last 2011 finishes! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For my Christmas exchange with &lt;a href="http://butterfly-butterflywings.blogspot.com/"&gt;June&lt;/a&gt;, I stitched a snowman by San-Man, it has been on my list of favorites for a long time! Stitched on light blue linen and for the back I used the pink fabric that you can see on the picture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For &lt;a href="http://lumiruusu-victorian-rose.blogspot.com/"&gt;Maija&lt;/a&gt;, a cute reindeer from Cross Stitcher Magazine...&lt;br /&gt;...and another one for &lt;a href="http://everythingetsy.com/"&gt;Kim&lt;/a&gt; :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Knowing that &lt;a href="http://firefliescatsinthegarden.blogspot.com/"&gt;Noni&lt;/a&gt; is a cat lover, for our Margaret Sherry postcard exchange, only a cat could come out! :) heheheh I gave it a little twist in my own way =) Instead of stitching the mistletoe around the cat's neck, as it is in the chart, I made leaves with felt and berries with beads.

Quem sabe se para a próxima conseguirem distribuir ainda mais presentes?? Espero que sim!!! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As decorações de Natal já estão a voltar para as caixas mas eu continuo com mais imagens de 2011 para partilhar convosco! Ainda! É verdade ;D heheheh&lt;br /&gt;Recordam-se dos meus bordados de Novembro, caminhos de mesa que não podia mostrar porque seriam presentes de Natal?

Who knows, maybe next  time I'll be able to share even more presents! I hope so! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christmas decorations are going back to the boxes but I still have some more 2011 images to share with you! Yet! It's true :D heheheh Remember, back in November, I was stitching table runners but I couldn't show because it would be Christmas presents? No more secrets, pictures above :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For my SIL I wanted &lt;a href="http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/09/something-blue-and-silver.html"&gt;something with blue and silver&lt;/a&gt;, mixing two charts from Rico magazine, I stitched two kinds of trees in blue and scattered silver snowflakes all around :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mother has a more classic kitchen, she puts a table runner over the table and smaller ones over the three kitchen counters, therefore, a set of four pieces :) If I invented with the Rico's charts for the first one... I did it even more for these :p LOL I grabbed the chart &lt;a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-0bEjL_U10n8/TwdPCFfVjZI/AAAAAAAAODs/6mA1SerzZJE/s350/JP%252520patchwork%252520ete.jpg"&gt;Patchwork Eté&lt;/a&gt;, by Jardin Privé, selected my favorite parts and made my own composition :) &lt;br /&gt;How I love the colors...

Vocês tornaram isto ainda mais engraçado para mim! Ambas irão receber uma surpresa, não posso dizer o que será... porque ainda nem eu sei! :p LOL A ideia só me surgiu esta semana, se uma de vocês não fosse a vencedora, eu fazia questão de presentear com uma surpresa. Como no &lt;a href="http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2012/01/12-days-of-christmas-giveaway.html"&gt;post da lista&lt;/a&gt; também não me disseram qual o item preferido.. lá terei de inventar! hahahahhaah :D &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tinha ideia de fazer um 'Best Of', recapitular os melhores momentos dos 12 dias, os comentários mais engraçados de entre todas as conversas... mas não contava encerrar tantos dias depois do Natal =( Vou guardar a ideia para a próxima vez ;) Sim, se gostaram da brincadeira, claro que volto a repetir :)&lt;br /&gt;(se quiserem deixar uma opinião, votem no questionário na barra lateral)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vou encerrar com um presente para a melhor gargalhada! ahahahha Um presente para o comentário que mais me fez rir :D e vai para... &lt;b&gt;Davina Bailey&lt;/b&gt;!!!

December 1st is much more fun... can't 'fa-la-la as we undecorate'! :p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not sure if this tradition of eating the chocolates only exists in my family or if it's something that is done throughout the country... we did it when I was little and I sticked with the tradition! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, now let's give a spanish twist to my giveaway and share some gifts! You're all waiting to know where the Stocking is going, right? :D I wish I could send to everyone but there can only be one winner =/ It's an equal opportunity for the usual followers as for the newly arrived, lucky dictates the outcome!

You made this even more fun to me! Both will receive a surprise, I can't say what... because I don't even know! :p LOL The idea just came to me this week, if you wouldn't win, I insisted on a surprise gift. If you had told me a favorite item on &lt;a href="http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2012/01/12-days-of-christmas-giveaway.html"&gt;the list post&lt;/a&gt; I would have some idea... now I'll have to make something up! hahahahhaah :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought about doing a 'Best Of', recap the best moments of the 12 days posts, the funniest comments from all the conversations... but I never thought to do this so late after Christmas =( I'll save the idea for next time ;) &lt;br /&gt;Yes, if you enjoyed the party, of course I'll do it again :)&lt;br /&gt;(If you'd like to share your opinion, please, vote on the sidebar poll)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm closing with a last surprise gift for the best laugh! ahahahha A gift to the comment that made me laugh :D and it goes to... &lt;b&gt;Davina Bailey&lt;/b&gt;!

heheheheh Agora vamos bordar o Halloween Rules, também da Lizzie Kate :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;From January to December, &lt;a href="http://pumpkinpatchandco.blogspot.com/"&gt;Cathey&lt;/a&gt; and I, we stitched one block each month for our SAL :) On the last day of 2011 I added the buttons to finish and here it is my Christmas Rules all done! :D&lt;br /&gt;*** insert happy dance here! lol ***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love the colors, I love this mushroom linen, without a doubt it's a very special piece to me :) My favorite block is 'Fa-la-la as you decorate'... and I also really like the other two above, cookies and reindeer :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was so much fun to see this grow and to stitch along with a friend :) But so much fun that we decided to do it again for 2012!

Acabámos por fazer um Natal à la francesa :) Às 23h para nós já era meia-noite em França por isso abrimos os presentes hehehe a criança pequena estava impaciente! À meia-noite, já estávamos a apanhar os papeis do chão e gritámos todos "é meia-noite! Vamos abrir os presentes" hahaha Foi de rir! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Cvq6xXGt9FI/Tv0IMK4qYII/AAAAAAAANyk/1sCI9FjVCGM/s360/natal%2525202011%252520%2525283%252529.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Passei a noite devidamente equipada com o meu chapéu de ajudante de Pai Natal :) Levei também um gorro para a Carol, com trançinhas e tudo! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-bjlzVgCcL4k/Tv0IMoKpOOI/AAAAAAAANy8/16z7mTSyk54/s360/natal%2525202011%252520%2525284%252529.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Já decidi o que vou oferecer a todos para a próxima.. pompons!

The trip to Lisbon was great but it's over :p Six days of family time but, more than that, six days to play a lot with Carol - if she could decide, we would never leave Lisbon! LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First two days were only to cook, bake, make final preparations for Christmas eve. We ended up making a Christmas à la French :) At 11 p.m. in Portugal, it was midnight in France so we opened the gifts hehehe the young child was impatient!

Trago mais uma novidade para vos mostrar, acabadinha de fazer agora à noite :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-6bl7RVnvg3w/Tu_Q3YdjjDI/AAAAAAAANps/S5lm7kV14jc/s360/day%2525207%252520%2525281%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nevou debaixo da minha árvore de Natal!!!! :D hahahha&lt;br /&gt;Recordam-se das minhas dúvidas sobre o tapete para a minha árvore de Natal? A última era um simples tapete branco a imitar neve.. voilá! Consegui encontrar um tecido que faz mesmo o efeito da neve, foi só recortar, unir pontas, colocar no sitio e simular uns montinhos para o relevo! Está simples mas acho que ficou bonito :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vocês sempre dizem que eu já faço tanta coisa mas acreditem que a lista de projectos ainda é longa! O tempo nunca chega para tudo quanto quero fazer :p E se chegasse, provavelmente, era capaz de inventar mais umas tantas coisas! LOL Fiquei contente com a árvore que fiz ontem, ainda quero lhe arranjar um par esta semana ;) O que já não devo fazer para este ano são os flocos de neve que queria pendurar junto às janelas.. ou faço depois de Natal... ou vai ficar na lista dos projectos para 2012 :p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E vocês, também têm flocos de neve espalhados pela casa?&lt;br /&gt;Deixo-vos algumas ideias que gosto, talvez vos inspirem também :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-UCgvAkuFNS0/Tu_Q3VlX4MI/AAAAAAAANpw/MWEDpr0dawo/s512/day%2525207%252520%2525282%252529.jpg" width="360" height="360"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. no link 2. &lt;a href="http://craftberrybush.blogspot.com/2011/11/little-sugar.html"&gt;Little Sugar&lt;/a&gt; 3. &lt;a href="http://www.hwtm.com/index.cfm?page=albums/view_album&amp;albumid=1815&amp;categoryid=33"&gt;Let it snow&lt;/a&gt; 4. &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/21534314@N02/5218446405/in/photostream"&gt;Snowflake pin&lt;/a&gt; 5. no link 6. &lt;a href="http://www.craftstylish.com/item/28838/how-to-make-a-snowstorm"&gt;How to make a snowstorm&lt;/a&gt; 7. &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bollero4/5223888456/sizes/z/in/photostream/"&gt;Snowflakes&lt;/a&gt; 8. no link 9. &lt;a href="http://sweetsomethingdesign.blogspot.com/2011/11/waterless-snow-globes.html"&gt;Waterless snow globes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conseguem adivinhar o que tenho para a botinha do giveaway hoje??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-CKOahOv_kDk/Tu_Q3fJE86I/AAAAAAAANpo/9v7y7PtjF94/s360/day%2525207%252520%2525283%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um mini globo de neve! hehehehe Com uma reninha fofa a espreitar :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I'm not sure if this happens in countries where it's now  summer, but on this side of the globe, snow is strongly associated with the Christmas season. Artificial snow and snowflakes are always part of the decoration :) So we won't forget the cold that we feel here!!! LOL It's so - but really soooo - cold here, this weekend we had temperatures below zero... freezing... brrrr ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although I started writing this post yesterday...  it's ten o'clock at night again! :p ahahahha Well, I was late for a good cause! I bring something new to show you, fresh from doing tonight :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It snowed under my Christmas tree!! :D hahahha Remember my doubts about the tree skirt? Number four was a simple white layer of snow... voilá! I managed to find a fabric that makes that snow effect, I just had to cut, sew a little, put it in place and simulate the mountains! It's discrete but I think it looks nice and cute :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You always say that I do so much but, believe me,  my project list is still long! Time will never be enought to make all that I want to make :p And if it was I'd probably make up a lot of other things! LOL I was happy with my little blue tree that I did yesterday, I want to make another one this week, different color :) &lt;br /&gt;Still for this year, I think I won't have time to make snowflakes to hang by the windows... maybe I'll do it after Christmas... maybe it will stay on my list of projects for 2012 :p &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you have snowflakes on your house too? In the mosaic above, I put together a few ideas that I like, maybe it will inspire you too :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you guess what I have for the Stocking giveaway tonight?&lt;br /&gt;A mini snow globe! With a cute reindeer peeking :) hehehehe&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ee2c2c;"&gt;Dos leitores do bloguito&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: forestgreen;"&gt;cliquem nas imagens para ler os seus posts!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ee2c2c;"&gt;From my blog readers&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: forestgreen;"&gt;click on the images to read their posts!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pontinhosdakat.blogspot.com/2011/09/let-it-snow.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ykdbAEp3C7k/TmVposs9u-I/AAAAAAAAAKg/ppolHzPI8Wo/s1600/lululu.JPG" width="87" height="130"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://lorettasstitchingblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/12-days-of-christmas-snow.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YSxzwpPPjx0/TvEz2l5uprI/AAAAAAAABr0/lfNWBT9rQpE/s400/2011-12-20%2B001_AutoCollage_11_Images.jpg" width="194" height="130"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/2011/12/nias-12-days-of-christmas.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7DBo-LaBJ4Q/TvDr0VRU1vI/AAAAAAAABOo/reQFm3mtvg4/s1600/DSC01938.JPG" width="173" height="130"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://pumpkinpatchandco.blogspot.com/2007/12/and-we-have.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h144/chinbit/NextDoor.jpg" width="194" height="130"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.armazemdodesign.com/private/smiles2/neve3.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-2642204716693740464?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/2642204716693740464/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/12/12-days-of-christmas-snow.html#comment-form' title='26 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/2642204716693740464'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/2642204716693740464'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/12/12-days-of-christmas-snow.html' title='12 days of Christmas  °•●  snow'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-6bl7RVnvg3w/Tu_Q3YdjjDI/AAAAAAAANps/S5lm7kV14jc/s72-c/day%2525207%252520%2525281%252529.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>26</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-590371281830297868</id><published>2011-12-18T16:00:00.012Z</published><updated>2011-12-30T12:19:24.456Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='12 days of Christmas'/><title type='text'>12 days of Christmas  °•●  tree</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quantos de vocês estão hoje no meio das multidões, a fazer as últimas compras para o Natal ou presos no meio do trânsito... enquanto eu estou quentinha em casa, a ler blogs, responder emails e a bordar? :D heheheeh Também estou a preparar os posts para a próxima semana, começar a postar mais cedo que as dez da noite! :p LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não venho falar sobre a minha árvore de Natal porque essa já vos mostrei no inicio de Dezembro :) O post de hoje é sobre crafts, fazer pequenas árvores para decorar em qualquer cantinho da casa. Esta manhã nasceu uma nova árvore cá em casa :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-pC9Nypu4oow/Tu4RVrb0njI/AAAAAAAANm0/nzirjgm_WxQ/s437/day%2525206%252520%2525281%252529.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cores a combinar com a minha cozinha, que está em azul/verde/rosa :) &lt;br /&gt;Falta o rosa aqui, eu sei! Mas a prateleira ainda tem mais espaço, é um processo em desenvolvimento ;) eheheh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E perguntam vocês como é que eu fiz isto :p Muito fácil! &lt;br /&gt;Usei uma árvore de esferovite e enrolei a lã à volta da árvore, como não tenho pistola de cola quente, segurei a lã com alfinetes no fundo como indica no tutorial nº.5 do mosaico abaixo :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-DoGYQBrSXds/Tu4RVxvsFWI/AAAAAAAANm8/WmdgGOF1bWg/s360/day%2525206%252520%2525282%252529%252520360.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;a href="http://www.craftaholicsanonymous.net/2011/11/ruffle-christmas-trees.html"&gt;Ruffle Christmas Tree&lt;/a&gt; 2. &lt;a href="http://papiervalise.typepad.com/scissor_variations/2009/12/diy-felt-shingle-tree.html"&gt;Felt Shingle Tree&lt;/a&gt; 3. &lt;a href="http://whipperberry.com/2010/12/ribbon-christmas-trees-tutorial.html"&gt;Ribbon Christmas Trees&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;a href="http://allsorts.typepad.com/allsorts/2011/12/festive-felt-christmas-trees-free-pattern-and-tutorial.html"&gt;Festive Felt Christmas Tree&lt;/a&gt; 5. &lt;a href="http://pretty-ditty.blogspot.com/2009/12/yarn-christmas-trees-tutorial.html"&gt;Yarn Christmas Tree&lt;/a&gt; 6. &lt;a href="http://acreativemomma.blogspot.com/2010/12/tissue-christmas-trees.html"&gt;Tissue Christmas Trees&lt;/a&gt; 7. &lt;a href="http://crate.typepad.com/cratepaper/2010/09/lolly-chessies-famous-cp-christmas-trees.html"&gt;Lolly Chessies Famous CP Christmas Trees&lt;/a&gt; 8. &lt;a href="http://amillionlittlethings.typepad.com/amlt/2010/12/yarn-trees-.html"&gt;Yarn Trees&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;9. &lt;a href="http://www.centsationalgirl.com/2009/11/a-sequined-tree-by-lindsay/"&gt;A Sequined Tree by Lindsay&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A diferença entre a minha árvore e a do tutorial é que usei apenas um tipo de lã, não tinha em casa outra diferente para misturar mas hei-de experimentar, gostei do efeito texturado :) Deixo-vos mais algumas ideias, todas as fotos deste mosaico têm tutorial, basta seguir os links indicados na legenda ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quem tem fotos de árvores de Natal para partilhar comigo aqui?? :D&lt;br /&gt;Pode ser fotos da vossa árvore mesmo, árvores que tenham feito em crochet, em papel, vale tudo! ehehhe Não se esqueçam, a qualquer momento podem partilhar fotos de outros links já postados nos dias anteriores, basta me dizerem e terei todo o gosto em colocar aqui :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E que surpresa temos na botinha hoje??? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-97gTy3Ye2qs/Tu4RV8ZxMxI/AAAAAAAANnI/aUcZcrdS9JQ/s360/day%2525206%252520%2525283%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esferovite!!

This morning, a new tree was born at my home :D You can see it in the first picture above, in colors to match my kitchen decor, blue / green / pink :) It's missing some pink in there, I know! But there's more space in the shelf, it's a work in progress ;) eheheh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you ask me how I did it :p Very easy!&lt;br /&gt;I used a styrofoam tree and wrapped the wool around it, I don't have a hot glue gun so I pinned the wool on the bottom, as shown in the tutorial no.5 from the mosaic above :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The difference between my tree and the one from the tutorial is that I only used one type of wool, I didn't have a different kind of wool to mix but I will try it another day, I like the textured effect :) On the mosaic you can see more ideas, all photos have tutorial, just follow the links provided in the legend ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who has pictures of Christmas trees to share with me here? :D&lt;br /&gt;It can be photos of your home Christmas tree or any other you've made in crochet, paper, all kinds of tree! ehehhe Don't forget, at any time you can share photos about other themes in the posts from the previous days, just let me know and I'll be happy to add it here :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what surprise do we have for the giveaway Stocking today?? &lt;br /&gt;Styrofoam!!! A tree, a doll and a ball! :D&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color:#EE2C2C;"&gt;Dos leitores do bloguito&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#228B22;"&gt;cliquem nas imagens para ler os seus posts!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#EE2C2C;"&gt;From my blog readers&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#228B22;"&gt;click on the images to read their posts!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cdmesquita.blogspot.com/2010/12/concurso-de-arvores-de-natal.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uJ1N-cU8Q24/TQCaAyod3jI/AAAAAAAAB8w/cQXqrAg06f8/s1600/arvoreNatal.jpg" width="160" height="130"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://lorettasstitchingblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/more-baking-and-my-christmas-trees.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dRVQW5XDOLE/Tu6fqE3yTiI/AAAAAAAABqI/miN5Eq21D0o/s1600/IMG_1305.JPG" width="100" height="130"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://do-direito.blogspot.com/2011/11/enfeites-de-natal.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AIu9Ucdd6Bk/TrZHKIT9UUI/AAAAAAAAAEI/xeZ-YmcDWrc/s1600/IMGP1630.JPG" width="65" height="130"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cuckistitchingcove.blogspot.com/2011/12/12-days-of-christmas.html"~&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lgfbASbQDHM/Tuh9P48piiI/AAAAAAAAA7c/QYpn3757WnQ/s1600/aaeer560.jpg" width="173" height="130"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/2011/12/nias-12-days-of-christmas.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EAXtuKyf8v0/TvDR5OZJ1BI/AAAAAAAABNw/MREMkGKfq0s/s1600/DSC02815+Tree.JPG" width="97" height="130"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://pumpkinpatchandco.blogspot.com/2007/12/aftermath.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h144/chinbit/ChristmasTree2007.jpg" width="86" height="130"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://stitchingdream.blogspot.com/2011/12/wishing-and-thanking.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dCyzQtlASDA/Tu6NnGr3_KI/AAAAAAAACEw/GVDrXwJ0Mkc/s1600/IMG_2414%2B%25282%2529.JPG" width="250" height="333"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.armazemdodesign.com/private/smiles2/natal32.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-590371281830297868?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/590371281830297868/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/12/12-days-of-christmas-tree.html#comment-form' title='30 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/590371281830297868'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/590371281830297868'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/12/12-days-of-christmas-tree.html' title='12 days of Christmas  °•●  tree'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-pC9Nypu4oow/Tu4RVrb0njI/AAAAAAAANm0/nzirjgm_WxQ/s72-c/day%2525206%252520%2525281%252529.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>30</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-3975552317928417975</id><published>2011-12-17T22:14:00.015Z</published><updated>2011-12-30T12:17:01.351Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='12 days of Christmas'/><title type='text'>12 days of Christmas  °•●   x-stitch</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Já vos mostrei a minha árvore de Natal e enfeites, falta mostrar os enfeites bordados :) Ao longo dos anos já fiz alguns e ofereci todos quanto fiz!

Over the years, I've made a few and I've offered all! :) LOL I don't have any stitched by me but I have received some gorgeous ornaments from my friends :) I have all strategically displayed around the house, hung here and there, as the styles and colors best fit in the division ;) On the blogosphere I've seen several ideas and beautiful displays with only cross stitched ornaments, I wanted to do the same with mine and today I found a piece that I really like! A small tree in dark iron, I think it'll look very good on the white furniture in my craft room :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish I could show you my favorite ornament from all I made but... it's one that I stitched this year! I have to wait a few more days until it reaches it's destination, I'll show you soon ;) For today's theme, I'm asking you for photos of your favorite cross stitched ornaments :) Which is your favorite, which one did you enjoy the most to stitch? Or do you have any ornament with a special story that you'd like to share? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the pile of gifts, I have...&lt;br /&gt;.. a pack of fabric squares to stitch ornaments that are ready to jump into the Stocking giveaway!

Aqueles doces tradicionais que se forem saboreados noutra altura do ano... &lt;br /&gt;...não é a mesma coisa :p lol &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não posso falar da típica mesa portuguesa de um modo geral porque é muito diferente em todas as zonas do país. Pessoalmente, tenho influências de Lisboa - onde nasci - mas também Norte, foram muitos os Natais passados em Viana do Castelo com os meus avós e mais família :) Então, vou contar-vos do que costuma haver especificamente na minha mesa, as minhas preferências...&lt;br /&gt;... e perdições!!! heheheh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ybOdQVIw2kA/Tu4RUMAoZwI/AAAAAAAANmM/-zu8T9mH-PE/s360/day%2525204%252520%2525281%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bolo rei! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não há Natal sem Bolo Rei. Ponto final. Parágrafo. :D Lol Uma massa fofa recheada de frutas... delicia! Já comia uma fatia agora ;) hehehe Antigamente o Bolo Rei trazia um brinde e uma fava: a pessoa com sorte era aquela que encontrava o brinde (um pequeno pendente) e a quem apanhasse a fava saía-lhe a 'sorte' de pagar o próximo Bolo Rei :p Hoje em dia é proibido comercializar o Bolo Rei com 'extras' no recheio... coisas da &lt;a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoridade_de_Seguran%C3%A7a_Alimentar_e_Econ%C3%B3mica"&gt;ASAE&lt;/a&gt; :p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-7BIWse6pi6g/Tu4RUIg_8qI/AAAAAAAANmI/4OIDDwBIbSk/s360/day%2525204%252520%2525282%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lampreia de ovos&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Noutra coisa que a doçaria tradicional portuguesa também prima é nos seus doces em quantidades industriais de açúcar e ovos. De norte a sul do país nao faltam iguarias que só podemos saborear um bocadito. Deliciosas de comer e chorar por mais mas há que ter cuidado e estimar o fígado pois só temos um :p Digo-vos sinceramente, são uma delicia para qualquer gulosa.. como eu! :D &lt;br /&gt;A lampreia de ovos é presença garantida na minha mesa, o 'peixe' que mais adoro!!! hahahah De peixe só tem mesmo o nome e o formato, o recheio é puro açúcar e ovo ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-w9GUd6OThTE/Tu4RUJbEeLI/AAAAAAAANmQ/Cvfrzz4vrg4/s360/day%2525204%252520%2525283%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fatias douradas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nos fritos, o mais popular são as rabanadas ou fatias douradas :)&lt;br /&gt;Fatias de pão embebidas em leite adoçado, fritas e cobertas com canela e açúcar. Outra delicia! heheheh Mas, para mim, apesar de serem tão boas de comer, o mais divertido é fazê-las na manhã de dia 24! A manhã da véspera de Natal é sempre passada na cozinha, a fazer doces com a minha mãe, devidamente acompanhadas de uma garrafa de vinho do Porto... &lt;br /&gt;... para os doces... e não só ;) LOL &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estou curiosa para saber quais são os doces mais característicos da vossa zona e quais os vossos preferidos!!! :D As minhas fotos são antigas mas vou tirar mais este ano para partilhar convosco no fim-de-semana!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Q7nPcugFFtw/Tu4RUj_uRQI/AAAAAAAANmU/IEYOKrudJv0/s360/day%2525204%252520%2525284%252529.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na Meia de Natal do giveaway, um avental de garrafa para bordar e uma folha de gráficos :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;One of the most delicious things in Christmas is... the desserts! &lt;br /&gt;Those traditional cakes that if you eat at any other time in the year... &lt;br /&gt;... it's not the same thing :p lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't write about the typical Portuguese table in general because it's very different in all districts of the country. Personally, I have influences from Lisbon - where I was born - but also from the north of Portugal, where I spent many Christmases in Viana do Castelo with my grandparents and other family :) So, I'll tell you specifically what there's usually on my table, my preferences... and where I lose myself! heheheh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Bolo Rei" = King Cake&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's no Christmas without King Cake. Period. :D Lol A soft dough filled with fruits... delightful! I could eat a slice right now ;) hehehe A few years ago King Cake brought a gift and a bean: the lucky person was the one who found the gift (a small charm) and the one who got the bean had the 'luck' to pay the next King Cake :p Today it's forbidden to sell King Cake with those 'extras' in the filling... :p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Lampreia de Ovos" = Eggs Lamprey&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing very traditional in Portugual it's the desserts with industrial quantities of sugar and eggs. From north to south, there are many delicacies that one can only taste a little bit! Delicious to eat and to cry for more but we have to be careful... we have only one liver :p I can tell you, honestly, it's a delight for anyone who loves sugar... like me! :D The egg lamprey has a guaranteed presence at my table, the 'fish' I love the most! hahahah It's only the name and shape, the filling is pure sugar and egg ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Fatias Douradas" = Golden Slices&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In frying, the most popular are the Golden Slices :)&lt;br /&gt;Slices of bread soaked in sweetened milk, fried and topped with cinnamon and sugar. Another delight! heheheh But for me, althought it's so good to eat, the fun part is to make it on the morning of 24th! The morning of Christmas Eve is always spent in the kitchen baking with my mother, with a bottle of Port Wine by our side... for the baking... and not only ;) LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm curious to know which are the most characteristic desserts on your Christmas table and which are your favorites! :D My photos are from years before but I'll take more this year to share with you on weekend!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the Giveaway Stotcking, an apron ready to stich and charts :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color:#EE2C2C;"&gt;Dos leitores do bloguito&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#228B22;"&gt;cliquem nas imagens para ler os seus posts!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#EE2C2C;"&gt;From my blog readers&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#228B22;"&gt;click on the images to read their posts!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cuckistitchingcove.blogspot.com/2011/12/12-days-of-christmasoh-calories.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sFdUzA8OQVU/TuuoCB5naJI/AAAAAAAAA-g/9VmE47VqUfU/s1600/1305481883.Malva-Pudding.jpg" width="230" height="130"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Malva-Pudding&lt;/b&gt; with recipe from Cucki!

:p Tenho de passar a preparar os posts no dia anterior ;) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoje vou continuar o tour pela minha casa, mais decoração de Natal! :) hehehe&lt;br /&gt;Recordam-se da &lt;a href="http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/09/boas-vindas-oficiais.html"&gt;coroa de Outono&lt;/a&gt; que fiz para a minha porta da entrada? Adorei fazer aquela coroa e sem dúvida que farei mais para o próximo ano. Não o fiz para a época de Natal porque tenho uma que foi comprada há alguns anos atrás, para o primeiro Natal na nossa casa :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-8faeI6I9Jkw/Tup_0yPj-4I/AAAAAAAANho/8LU0E560NDg/s360/3%252520wreath.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não é handmade mas é fofinha e continua em boas condições, por isso, acho desnecessário fazer outra quando não tenho mais nenhum lugar onde colocar esta. Guardo as ideias para quando começar a ficar danificada pelo tempo, por enquanto vou estimá-la :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para quem não tem ainda uma coroa de Natal, deixo-vos algumas sugestões que, na minha opinião, são super bonitas e têm muita classe para a época :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://thepapermama.blogspot.com/2011/11/50-diy-days-with-rocky-mountain-mama.html"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dEP9HsbdjgE/TuqHVTeDt5I/AAAAAAAANiI/ClQ9_9ul2rA/s360/wreath1.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://thepapermama.blogspot.com/2011/11/50-diy-days-with-rocky-mountain-mama.html"&gt;The Paper Mama&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://twojunkchix.blogspot.com/2011/01/snowball-wreath.html"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3xmqamUZjlw/TuqHVVEuDmI/AAAAAAAANiQ/pt7phvTkYvI/s427/wreath2.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://twojunkchix.blogspot.com/2011/01/snowball-wreath.html"&gt;Two Junk Chix&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.helloyarn.com/wp/?p=523"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ow7qKc85K3k/TuqIiPnF9HI/AAAAAAAANjM/94FX7oJMa20/s512/wreath3.JPG" width="360" height="538"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://www.helloyarn.com/wp/?p=523"&gt;Hello Yarn&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://thesweetsurvival.blogspot.com/2011/03/yarn-egg-wreath.html"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-FNns3NKFAz8/TuqHVx6ozYI/AAAAAAAANic/e6pGpILZmyQ/s409/wreath4.JPG" &gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://thesweetsurvival.blogspot.com/2011/03/yarn-egg-wreath.html"&gt;The Sweet Survival&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://matt-and-becky.blogspot.com/2009/12/12-days-of-christmas-crafts-day-5.html"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-irui6w-sx5o/TuqHWNktU6I/AAAAAAAANiY/0M2ovTaQi2k/s360/wreath5.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://matt-and-becky.blogspot.com/2009/12/12-days-of-christmas-crafts-day-5.html"&gt;Matt &amp; Becky&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E se as coroas não fazem o vosso estilo, eis uma ideia diferente:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bhg.com/christmas/crafts/low-cost-christmas-projects/#page=5"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-KFlJd87djx0/TuqHWYa2tFI/AAAAAAAANig/XmWsZq-papo/s360/wreath6.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://www.bhg.com/christmas/crafts/low-cost-christmas-projects/#page=5"&gt;Better Homes and Gardens&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um charme!! :) Adoro, adoro, adoro!!!&lt;br /&gt;E vocês, o que têm na vossa entrada? :) Estou a gostar imenso de ler as vossas histórias e tradições, tanto que no fim vou ter de recapitular os melhores momentos! ehhehehe Muito bom mesmo! :D Obrigada por partilharem e entrarem na brincadeira &amp;hearts;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E o que traz o Pai Natal para vocês hoje??? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-vq6AQ6rjfdk/Tup_2AWpyfI/AAAAAAAANhw/7OcAKNk8x-E/s360/3%252520giveaway.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um &lt;a href="http://www.dmc-pt.com/Products/Accessories/Needles-and-Accessories/Pewter-Needle-Case.aspx"&gt;porta-agulhas vintage da DMC&lt;/a&gt; e um pack de agulhas para bordar :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I wanted to post earlier in the day and look at the time! :p I have to start writing my post on the day before ;) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tonight I'll continue the tour around my house, more Christmas decoration! :)&lt;br /&gt;Remember the &lt;a href="http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/09/boas-vindas-oficiais.html"&gt;Autumn wreath&lt;/a&gt; that I made for my front door? I loved doing that wreath and for sure I'll make more in the next year. I didn't make one for the Christmas season because I have one bought a few years ago, for the first Christmas in our home :) You can see mine on the first photo above, it's not handmade but it's cute and it's still in good condition, therefore, it's unnecessary to make another while I don't have another place to hang this. I'll save my ideas for when this starts to get damaged by time, for now I'm keeping my snowman wreath :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you don't have a Christmas wreath yet, I'm posting a few suggestions that, in my opinion, are super pretty and classy for the season :D And if wreaths are not your style, look at the last photo... have you seen it? So different and charming, isn't it?? I love, love, love it! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What about your front door, how do you decorate your entry? :) I'm really enjoying reading your stories and traditions, so much that in the end I'll have to recap the best moments! ehhehehe Very good indeed! :D Thanks so much for sharing and being a part of the party ♥&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what does Santa brings to you today??&lt;br /&gt;A &lt;a href="http://www.dmc-usa.com/Products/Accessories/Needles-and-Accessories/Pewter-Needle-Case.aspx"&gt;vintage DMC needle case&lt;/a&gt; and a pack of needles to stitch :D&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color:#EE2C2C;"&gt;Dos leitores do bloguito&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#228B22;"&gt;cliquem nas imagens para ler os seus posts!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#EE2C2C;"&gt;From my blog readers&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#228B22;"&gt;click on the images to read their posts!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://coccinelladots.blogspot.com/2010/12/santa-stop-here.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pDBPP9-ciGA/TQI74ajaixI/AAAAAAAAATM/0iDT3AbWiGs/s400/page_santa_stop_here.jpg" width="100" height="130"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://linhasmatizadas.blogspot.com/2011/12/uma-guirlanda-baguncada.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jdTIZeR4Lhs/TtprCmQcJpI/AAAAAAAABPE/5JVrHNu7TfY/s1600/DSCF0630.JPG" width="100" height="130"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://lorettasstitchingblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-christmas-wreath.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v249/allore/Nutcrackers/003.jpg" width="150" height="130"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cuckistitchingcove.blogspot.com/2011/12/12-days-of-christmas-wreath.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OJZVG0F37pI/TustUNKxDxI/AAAAAAAAA-Q/elAq-D7XW4Y/s320/aaatyu8.jpg"  width="180" height="130"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://do-direito.blogspot.com/2011/12/grinalda-de-natal.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xw77wj3M3qM/Tt6HGC2zUNI/AAAAAAAAAGA/XdMc2xe4sbU/s640/IMGP1841.JPG"  width="185" height="130"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/2011/12/nias-12-days-of-christmas.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--_8nVRKxbCU/TvDQPbeIpBI/AAAAAAAABNI/2yr73dKLLWM/s1600/DSC02813+Wreath.JPG" width="173" height="130"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.armazemdodesign.com/private/smiles2/natal28.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-3665123091662001740?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/3665123091662001740/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/12/12-days-of-christmas-xmas-wreath.html#comment-form' title='29 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/3665123091662001740'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/3665123091662001740'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/12/12-days-of-christmas-xmas-wreath.html' title='12 days of Christmas  °•●  wreath'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-8faeI6I9Jkw/Tup_0yPj-4I/AAAAAAAANho/8LU0E560NDg/s72-c/3%252520wreath.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>29</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-1001104656118732370</id><published>2011-12-14T19:51:00.013Z</published><updated>2011-12-30T01:24:31.690Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='12 days of Christmas'/><title type='text'>12 days of Christmas  °•●  wrapping</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quem não adora um embrulho bonito?? :) Eu adoro fazer embrulhos!&lt;br /&gt;Acho que posso dizer que uma das minhas 'imagens de marca' são os grandes laços brancos :D heheheh &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-mVTawnBl8LA/TujsevBnk-I/AAAAAAAANhA/ijuI3j6pFnU/s360/2%252520fita.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas de vez em quando gosto de inventar e fazer uns embrulhos diferentes, já no Natal do ano passado vos mostrei os embrulhos que fiz com papel crepe e os laços com fitas que usamos nos nossos crafts. Para este Natal, inspirei-me em mais uma ideia que encontrei online, papel craft :) Deviam ver a cara do Rui quando lhe falei que ía usar craft para os embrulhos :p hahahaha Mas garanti-lhe que tinha uma ideia gira para lhes dar cor ;) O Rui acreditou em mim e não perguntou mais nada, vocês acreditam também? :p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muitas lãs de todas as cores e sai...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Vocd2YITZJ0/TujsdEdEsrI/AAAAAAAANg4/jdZyR0HOaAs/s360/2%252520pompom.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... pompons!!! :D&lt;br /&gt;Usei o &lt;a href=http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/07/uma-amiga-que-passou-para-o-lado-de-ca.html&gt;Pom Pom Maker&lt;/a&gt; mas há vários tutoriais online de como fazer facilmente pompons sem grandes acessórios. Deixo-vos algumas dicas: &lt;a href="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ldbtnzYXs51qdduyyo1_500.jpg"&gt;pompom simples&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://kraftcroch.blogspot.com/2011/06/pompon-over-rainbow.html"&gt;pompom arco-íris&lt;/a&gt; e um mais irreverente &lt;a href="http://www.craftaholicsanonymous.net/2011/01/t-shirt-pom-poms-tutorial.html"&gt;pompom de t-shirts!&lt;/a&gt; :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não sei se toda a gente vai gostar mas eu acho que está tão fixe :D&lt;br /&gt;Adoro o montinho dos presentes com os seus pompons fofos e coloridos...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dH-sfo7qgcc/TujsgvTIp4I/AAAAAAAANhI/VgoPbFzLgg4/s360/2%252520embrulhos.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...com excepção de um! Há um presente diferente que é do Pai Natal :)&lt;br /&gt;O Pai Natal que não faz embrulhos iguais aos meus, não acham? Temos que manter a coisa real ;) eheheheh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E o que tenho hoje para colocar na Meia de Natal do giveaway???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-idXD6DczwOU/TujsiCuH4fI/AAAAAAAANhQ/atKKLPWNV-A/s360/2%252520giveaway.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FITAS E CORDÕES!!! :)&lt;br /&gt;Para usarem nos vossos crafts ou porque não fazer um embrulho diferente? :D&lt;br /&gt;E vocês também gostam de inventar na hora de embrulhar? heheheh Alguém tem fotos de embrulhos diferentes ou ideias originais?? Queremos ver! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: Preciso começar a postar mais cedo no dia :p&lt;br /&gt;PS(2): Vou precisar voltar aqui e acrescentar alguma cor vermelha ao prémio do giveaway...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Everyone loves a gift on a pretty package! :) I love to wrap gifts!&lt;br /&gt;I think I can say that one of my 'trade marks' is the big-curly-white bows :D heheheh (first picture above) But occasionally I like to pull a few ideas and make something different, last year I showed you my gifts wrapped with crepe paper and ribbons. This Christmas, inspired by another idea I found online, I'm using craft paper :) You should've seen Rui's face when I told him that I was going to use craft paper on the gifts :p hahahaha But I reassured him that I had a fun idea to give them color ;) Rui believed in me and didn't ask a thing, do you believe me too? :p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Second picture) Lots of wool in all colors and what came out? Pom poms! :D&lt;br /&gt;I used the my &lt;a href=http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/07/uma-amiga-que-passou-para-o-lado-de-ca.html&gt;Pom Pom Maker&lt;/a&gt; but there are several tutorials online on how to easily make pom poms  without any special prop!

Em Portugal, diz a tradição que o Pai Natal deixa prendas no sapatinho!! E quando eu era pequenina era assim que seguíamos a tradição, com os sapatinhos em cima do fogão por baixo da chaminé da cozinha! :D Numa casa sem lareira, é pela cozinha mesmo que desce o Pai Natal ;) LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do Pai Natal tinhamos um presente que pediamos e no sapatinho um pequeno mimo - os sapatos eram pequeninos!! Queria eu calçar o 45 naquela altura para caber mais! ahhahahaha Havia sempre uma lembrança, algo pequeno mas especial e todos os anos diferente :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agora na minha casa tenho lareira mas nas meias de Natal nunca se colocam presentes porque são grandes ou pesados para as meias. Até ao dia em que encontrámos uma meia à nossa altura...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1UcfTPurI3M/TufLX6nIQnI/AAAAAAAANew/a8vPKoX7RWI/s480/1%252520stocking.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LOL :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A verdade é que eu gosto de ver os embrulhos bonitos junto à árvore :) e as meias acabam por ser meramente decorativas. Por isso mesmo, acrescentei na lista de projectos mais uma ideia gira que encontrei pela net:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-9sztfRErAh0/TufM4MPaWeI/AAAAAAAANf0/8CMF4FqzXiU/s448/1%252520baby%252520sock%252520garland.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/275615/easy-christmas-crafts#/170672"&gt;Martha Stewart&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uma grinalda de mini-meias para colocar sobre a lareira :D Não é a coisa mais cute?? Mega fofo!! =) Para combinar com o restante cá em casa, tenho de coleccionar meias de bebé em vermelho e branco, apenas nestas duas cores mas diferentes modelos para ficar um mix mais engraçado :D &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E os vossos presentes vão para debaixo da árvore, para dentro das meias ou para o sapatinho? :) E o que colocam sobre as vossas lareiras? Contem-me a vossa tradição, tragam-me links para as vossas fotos/posts da lareira decorada ou de onde colocam as vossas meias de Natal :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E para começar o meu giveaway temos nada mais, nada menos, do que..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-gPUYKrqbipE/TufM9avcX7I/AAAAAAAANgQ/0se_CZlyxuE/s510/1%252520giveaway.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.. uma MEIA DE NATAL!!! :D heheheheh &lt;br /&gt;É o presente mais pequenino mas também o mais importante, aqui vou colocar todos os presentes dos próximos dias por isso a vencedora terá muitos presentinhos do Pai Natal!! ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Nowadays it's common to see Christmas stockings hanging over the fireplace. In Portugal, tradition has it that Santa leaves gifts inside the 'little shoe'!! And when I was little this was how we followed the tradition, with the shoes above the stove under the kitchen chimney! :D In a house without a fireplace,  the kitchen is where Santa Claus will be coming down ;) LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Santa we always received one gift (that we had ask for) and a little surprise inside our shoe - we were small, our shoes were tiny!! At that time I wished I was a size 12 to fit more! ahhahahaha There was always something small but special and different every year :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have a fireplace in my house but we never put gifts inside the stockings because it's too big or too heavy. Until the day we found the perfect stocking size for our house... 1st picture above Lol :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What really happens is that I like to see the pretty wrapped gifts below the Christmas tree :) and stockings become merely decorative. Therefore, I added to my list of projects a fun idea that I found online, a garland of mini-stockings :D Isn't that so cute? Totally adorable! =) To match with the rest around here, I have to collect baby socks in red and white, only in these two colors but different models to make it a funny mix :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What about you, do you put your gifts under the tree or inside stockings? :) And how do you decorate your fireplace? Tell me about your childhood tradition, bring me links to photos / posts of your fireplace ready for Christmas or from where you put your Christmas stockings :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To start my giveaway I have nothing more, nothing less, than... a STOCKING!!! :D hehehehehe It's the smallest gift but it's the most important, this is where I'll put all the gifts for the next 11 days so the winner will have a stocking full of goodies from Santa Claus!! ;)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color:#EE2C2C;"&gt;Dos leitores do bloguito&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#228B22;"&gt;cliquem nas imagens para ler os seus posts!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#EE2C2C;"&gt;From my blog readers&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#228B22;"&gt;click on the images to read their posts!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pink-ballon.blogspot.com/2011/12/ramo-de-azevinho-e-botinha-de-natal.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RbfUcr6kcW0/TujwFf34C1I/AAAAAAAABKY/mWSukzyQcK8/s400/botinha%2Bginger.jpg" width="100" height="130"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://cuckistitchingcove.blogspot.com/2011/12/12-days-of-christmas.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XpuJr74LWjI/TuikxT1NeHI/AAAAAAAAA78/D1hiVfuRBfs/s1600/aa6789.jpg" width="100" height="130"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/2011/12/nias-12-days-of-christmas.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lBsDyjSLoAk/TvTKsk_GG_I/AAAAAAAABPQ/8b8AFImisOs/s320/DSC02825+stockings.JPG" width="173" height="130"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.armazemdodesign.com/private/smiles2/natal06.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-7030665638219380057?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/7030665638219380057/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/12/12-days-of-christmas-stockings.html#comment-form' title='33 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/7030665638219380057'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/7030665638219380057'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/12/12-days-of-christmas-stockings.html' title='12 days of Christmas  °•●  stockings'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1UcfTPurI3M/TufLX6nIQnI/AAAAAAAANew/a8vPKoX7RWI/s72-c/1%252520stocking.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>33</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-2917350887878549949</id><published>2011-12-13T16:20:00.000Z</published><updated>2011-12-13T16:20:54.883Z</updated><title type='text'>already running late! LOL :p</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O que seria do Natal se não andassemos sempre atrasados para alguma coisa? Tradição é tradição, não acham? :p eehhehe Falei que postava hoje de tarde mas a minha máquina fotográfica ficou sem bateria e por isso o post do dia vai sair um pouquito mais tarde, depois de jantar ;) Mas sai! hahahaha :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quero esclarecer algumas dúvidas em relação ao giveaway que expliquei no post anterior. Para entrarem no giveaway não precisam marcar presença todos os dias nem precisam postar nada! A única coisa que é preciso é chegar a dia 24 e terem comentado os posts referentes aos '12 dias de Natal' :) Só isso, ler o bloguito e deixar uma mensagem. Pode até não ser no dia, podem chegar a um post e recapitular 3 para trás, tudo bem! :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quanto ao postarem vocês também, é opcional, só o faz quem quiser e não precisa ser todos os dias. Claro que quanto mais partilharem mais divertido será para todos! :D hehehe Mas é opcional e não precisa ser diário, podem até chegar ao fim-de-semana e postar sobre algo que se passou 3 dias antes! Não há regras, não há prazos, são 12 dias para passear entre posts! :D eheheh E lembrem-se.. eu gosto muito de surpresas!!! Nunca se sabe o que pode acontecer pelo meio ;) hehehehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Até mais logo!! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk150/Eva3333/Tinkerbell/clochette/tinkchrist712.gif" width="360" height="315"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;What would Christmas be if we weren't running late for something? Tradition is tradition, right? :p ehhehe I said I would post this afternoon but the battery on my camera ran out! So my daily post will come out a bit later, after dinner ;) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to clarify some doubts about my giveaway that I have explained on  the previous post. To enter the giveaway you don't need to be here every day or post anything! The only thing required is that on the 24th you have commented on all posts related to '12 days of Christmas' :) That's it, follow the blog and leave a comment. You may not even do it daily, you can come one day and recap three posts back, it's alright! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for you posting too, it's optional, it's only if you want to share something too and again you don't need to do it on every themes. Of course, the more you'll share more fun for everyone! :D hehehe But it's optional, you can wait for the weekend and post about something that I wrote three days before! There are no rules, no deadlines, it's 12 days to 'stroll' between posts! :D eheheh And remember... I love surprises! You never know what might happen or when :) hehehehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See you later! :D&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.armazemdodesign.com/private/smiles2/natal18.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-2917350887878549949?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/2917350887878549949/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/12/already-running-late-lol-p.html#comment-form' title='14 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/2917350887878549949'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/2917350887878549949'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/12/already-running-late-lol-p.html' title='already running late!

Mais rápido que no resto do ano... ou será que sou eu que fico com menos tempo por conta das vezes que fico a olhar a minha árvore??? hehehehe Sentar-me no chão com uma chávena de leite chocolatado a aquecer-me as mãos enquanto olho aquelas luzinhas a piscar.. não há melhor =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Demorei todo o feriado de quinta-feira para decorar a casa! Seleccionar o que queria colocar e onde, visualizar o que preciso comprar ou posso fazer para determinado espaço... ideias, ideias, ideias :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para começar, preciso fazer um tapete para a minha árvore! Não sei bem se faço um tapete para colocar debaixo dos pés da árvore ou a cobrir também os pés... quero algo que se alongue para fora da árvore e onde possa colocar os presentes e também o presépio. Querem me ajudar num brainstorming? :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tudo começa com uma busca de ideias pela web :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-yJbR4CMpCZ4/TttgeYfTWVI/AAAAAAAANZg/7qTF89IoDMI/s512/tree%252520skirt%252520%2525283%252529.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Achei esta um charme :) Fazendo a base em vermelho ainda destaca mais as poinsétias branquinhas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ou algo mais ao estilo Christmas in wonderland? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-jXpRPgbJo_g/Tttgejyic3I/AAAAAAAANZo/oQETcHVD5Jg/s360/tree%252520skirt%252520%2525284%252529.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Também gostei deste seguinte mas talvez tenha muita coisa a acontecer ao mesmo tempo.. muito cheia?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-jEcG5XdsLmo/TttgeUJL-0I/AAAAAAAANZk/OgKX3o_7RHE/s360/tree%252520skirt%252520%2525281%252529.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ao algo simples apenas a imitar a neve e pronto? :p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ONRgAEYA18I/TttgebHczbI/AAAAAAAANZc/GPxG1Pe9O0g/s360/tree%252520skirt%252520%2525282%252529.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qual das ideias acham mais fofa e que melhor combinaria com o estilo da decoração na minha árvore? Podem dar outras ideias também, serão muito bem-vindas!! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Weekends in December go by so fast! Faster than all the other months in the year... or is that because I spend so much time looking at my tree?? hehehehe Sitting on the floor with a cup of chocolate milk warming my hands while I look at those little sparkling lights... there's nothing better =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It took me the whole Thursday holiday to decorate the house! Choose what I wanted to use and where to place it, see what I  need to buy and what I want to make for a given space... ideas, ideas, ideas :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To begin, I need to make a skirt for my tree! I'm not sure if I want a rug under the feet of the tree or a skirt to also cover the feet... I want it a little bigger to leave space to put the presents and also the nativity set. Who wants to join me on a brainstorming? :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like always, we start with a web search :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think the tree skirt on the first picture is just charming :) Making it in red would definitely highlight those white poinsettias. Or something more Christmas in wonderland like the second picture? I also like the next one but this may have a lot going on at the same time... too full? Or should I go for something to imitate the snow and nothing more ? :p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you think? Which solution is the cutest and would work out well with my Christmas tree decor? Feel free to give ideas, all will be very welcome! :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.armazemdodesign.com/private/smiles2/natal34.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-2582597310233940327?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/2582597310233940327/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/12/tree-skirt-brainstorm.html#comment-form' title='25 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/2582597310233940327'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/2582597310233940327'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/12/tree-skirt-brainstorm.html' title='tree skirt brainstorm!!'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-yJbR4CMpCZ4/TttgeYfTWVI/AAAAAAAANZg/7qTF89IoDMI/s72-c/tree%252520skirt%252520%2525283%252529.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>25</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-4740713904531421576</id><published>2011-12-02T19:42:00.000Z</published><updated>2011-12-02T19:42:04.171Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='natal'/><title type='text'>red, white and 400 lights :D</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-nVVQXJWFOBU/TtkjME5St_I/AAAAAAAANXs/RNEvC07kKVo/s480/Dezembro%2525202011%252520%2525281%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eu adoro a minha árvore =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I love my Christmas tree =)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-gDToE8Sp1mk/Ttkjk6xh_JI/AAAAAAAANYU/GBQ8ewwK-lE/s360/Dezembro%2525202011%252520%2525283%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-u8WhmIyZBYs/TtkjlW-cV0I/AAAAAAAANYQ/6GpJWuBT2-4/s360/Dezembro%2525202011%252520%2525286%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-P3oBVytm3Ko/TtkjlGO1jMI/AAAAAAAANYM/HeiArJpT28k/s360/Dezembro%2525202011%252520%2525285%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/--dBnWLuEmGw/TtkjlxVYLVI/AAAAAAAANYk/qApZvYqJYP0/s360/Dezembro%2525202011%252520%2525287%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No topo da árvore, algo que não é comum mas não deixa de ser perfeito para esta casa :D heheheh A anjinha mais fofa a segurar o seu gingerbread =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;On the top, something unusual but perfect for our home :D hehehee The cutest angel holding her gingerbread =)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-uUUh4jTbPxQ/TtkjMGdIjmI/AAAAAAAANXo/fRlmbq9VSV8/s480/Dezembro%2525202011%252520%2525282%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vocês não adoram o Natal??

Ai esses comentários!! ;) LOL Curiosamente, a Cibele - mente mais perversa de todas hahahahahah - foi quem apanhou os factos! :) &lt;br /&gt;O que acontece é que nesta fase de Natal há muitos presentes a preparar, algumas surpresas que devem ser guardadas por enquanto... foi difícil manter-me focada no meu bordado! =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desde que terminei o ultimo boneco de neve da Margaret Sherry, tenho bordado o presente de Natal para a minha mãe, são quatro paninhos para decorar a mesa e os balcões da cozinha. Muito que bordar :p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Foi para este conjunto que mudei de ideias no gráfico a bordar, recordam-se? Sim, aquele meu acesso de inteligência, momento em que troquei para uma coisa ainda maior quando o tempo já é pouco :p LOL Não há nada que não se faça com um bocadinho de boa vontade ;) hehehe &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como imaginam, ainda não posso postar fotos... mas posso mostrar as cores :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-hTqg1oRIlb8/Ts2E51kTAGI/AAAAAAAANUc/yKZL5yY24Eo/s360/caminhoJP%2525281%252529.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Só de olhar estas meadinhas.. já inspira a bordar! :) Não parece uma linda combinação de Outono??

Christmas! Christmas season is happening! Gifts to make, some surprises that should be saved for now.. it was hard to keep focus on my stitching during the weekend! =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I finished my last Margaret Sherry's snowman, I started my mother's Christmas present, a set of four table cloths for her kitchen (on bigger for the table, three smaller for the counters). So much to stitch :p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember when I told you I changed my ideas on the design? Yes, that moment when cleverness ran away, when I switched to an even bigger design when time is already so short :p LOL There's nothing that it can't be done with a little good will :) hehehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have probably guessed, I can't post photos yet... but I can show you the colors :) Just looking at those threads... I was automatically inspired to stitch! :) Doesn't it look like a gorgeous Autumn color combo??

Deu tempo para tudo e mais alguma coisa! Não há dúvida nenhuma de que os dias de Sol têm uma energia extra :D &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nas compras, descobri algo que queria já no ano passado e não sabia onde achar! Recordam-se quando cheguei a ponderar &lt;a href="http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2010/12/procura-de-ramos-p.html"&gt;'desmembrar' uma árvore para enfeitar o corrimão da escada&lt;/a&gt;? LOL Tinha visto as grinaldas pela web mas nunca encontrei à vendas nas lojas. No meu post deram-me algumas sugestões mas como estava muito em cima da data, não consegui encontrar nada. Agora já tinha a grinalda na mira ;) ehehehe sabia que tinha de procurar cedo e voilá:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-c4AHBhLTsug/Tsfu0KzZfCI/AAAAAAAANTE/ogsNvMKR4zc/s480/decor%252520natal%2525202011.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Achei!! :D uhuuuuuuu &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ainda não tenho a decoração na casa, como vos contei antes, só no dia 1 de Dezembro. Mas, curiosa com a novidade... tive de retirar a grinalda da embalagem, ver como era, se ficava bem no corrimão.. Depois do trabalho que deu para colocar, bem que a grinalda já vai ficar onde está!! :p haahhaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agora vou pegar no meu entusiasmo e dedicar-me à Bluebell :) Segunda-feira mostro-vos o progresso, vamos ver até onde conseguirei bordar, acho que ficará muito pertinho do fim!!! Bom fim-de-semana para vocês :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;My weekend started pretty well :) Besides the fact that I started the day jumping on my bed like a kid :D hahahhaha We had dry weather, without the expected rain, it was great to go out in the morning, stroll, shopping, and still take care of the garden when we got home. There was time for anything and everything! No doubt that sunny days have an extra energy :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shopping this morning, I found something I wanted last year and didn't know where to buy! Do you remember when I considered to &lt;a href="http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2010/12/procura-de-ramos-p.html"&gt;buy a tree to break apart into pieces and make a garland for the stair handrail&lt;/a&gt;? LOL I had seen it on the web but never on stores. I had some suggestions on that same post but we were already too close to christmas day, I couldn't find anything. Now, I had my goal in mind ;) ehehehe I knew I had to look for it early and voilá! &lt;br /&gt;I found it! :D uhuuuuuuu&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I haven't decorated the house yet, as I told you before, only on December 1st. But I was curious... I had to remove the garland from the package, see how it is, if it looks good... After all the work to put it in place, the garland will stay where it is already! :p haahhaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I'm taking my enthusiasm to stitch Bluebell :) Monday I'll show you the progress, let's see how much I will be able to stitch, I think she will be very close to be finish!

(o que é que aconteceu ali?!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-E_WwTl-ShDk/TsTmvLnCAeI/AAAAAAAANSM/W3WeNziuaHc/s360/BreakingDawn%252520%2525284%252529.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Só mais uma coisa, quando os créditos começam... não quer dizer que o filme tenha acabado ;) Fiquem sentadinhos na cadeira e assistam ao que metade da sala perdeu porque já tinham saído :p heehhehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Que venha o Breaking Dawn Part II, estou ansiosa por alguma acção!! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This movie was slower than the previous ones but it was still intense. It's the chapter of the wedding, honeymoon, romance, romance and romance hehehhe But with many good doses of humor into the mix, really, many! LOL :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are some 'twists' on the movie, some details have changed from the book but it makes sense, especially at the end (so they can make the cut, leave both parts well connected, I can see the point). If it was exactly the same as in the book, there wouldn't be any expectation for the movie theater room, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to say, there was a scene that I really didn't like... Who had the idea to make the werewolves speak when they are communicating in their telepathy mode?!? Please, it looks like a scene from a Disney movie! It's so bad that it makes us laugh! Oh! And one more thing .. Please bring the old hairdresser! Something went terrible wrong with the new hairstyles for Carlisle and Jasper! (what happened there?!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just one more thing, when the credits start... it doesn't mean that the movie is over ;) Stay in your seat and enjoy what half the people in the room lost because they had already left :p heheheh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bring Breaking Dawn Part II, I'm anxious for some action! :D&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-omCm91V-MI8/TsTmvWIdr4I/AAAAAAAANSU/JyUZ8bF_5cM/s64/BreakingDawn%252520%2525285%252529.JPG"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-7481124640896516736?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/7481124640896516736/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/11/breaking-dawn.html#comment-form' title='17 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/7481124640896516736'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/7481124640896516736'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/11/breaking-dawn.html' title='Breaking Dawn'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Cecnul2AG2w/TsTmu9bnTFI/AAAAAAAANSE/J3LyU0KQIJY/s72-c/BreakingDawn%252520%2525281%252529.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>17</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-4830992813427248696</id><published>2011-11-16T18:51:00.002Z</published><updated>2011-11-17T11:13:59.849Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='twilight'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='compras'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='correio'/><title type='text'>oh! happy mail :)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Há alguns dias atrás recebi um bonito postal de Outono junto com alguns gráficos que a &lt;a href="http://butterfly-butterflywings.blogspot.com/"&gt;June&lt;/a&gt; gentilmente ofereceu :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-tETt2fBw-4I/TsQL_wAKR4I/AAAAAAAANQE/2zUYTgzf4Kw/s360/correio%252520da%252520June%252520%2525281%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E logo na semana seguinte, mais um postal da June, desta vez porque acertei no seu bordado mistério e por isso ganhei uma linda meada da Polstitches! &lt;br /&gt;Mais uma vez, obrigada June!! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-rslpoecaAvk/TsQMBNLQw-I/AAAAAAAANQM/EZUDbcQY9CY/s360/correio%252520da%252520June%252520%2525282%252529.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ontem chegou outro pacotinho gostoso, da &lt;a href="http://ateliercaseiro.blogspot.com/"&gt;Ana&lt;/a&gt;, um maravilhoso pedaço de linho vindo directamente do Brasil! Adorei o toque, a cor, perfeito! Até já sei algo que vou bordar nos próximos dias ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ZpbSip1sf7w/TsQMCVqgfSI/AAAAAAAANQU/Us7oGYwewbg/s360/linho%252520da%252520Ana.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O detalhe do lacre do Atelier Caseiro é sempre um charme!! =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O sr. carteiro também deixou aqui umas comprinhas que fiz online, estava ansiosa por receber!! Linho, gráficos e meadas para um bordado que quero começar no próximo mês - sobre este conto-vos mais em breve ;) - e o meu novo Q-snap! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-EAdgHkclQlE/TsQMDlmKyfI/AAAAAAAANQc/Hse1FvahOKo/s360/Q-snaps.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O meu bastidor de 22,5cm já não era suficiente para a Bluebell, precisava de um upgrade para 27,5cm. Aproveitei a onda e comprei umas extensões que adaptam os 27,5cm para 35cm e acho que estou bem servida de bastidores! Não penso usar nenhum maior que isto senão preciso começar a treinar levantamento de pesos! :p ehehhhehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E hoje... é noite de Twilight!!!! uhuuuuu :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-2I4Z0nD50no/TsQME5E03XI/AAAAAAAANQk/gdc3tpdGiC4/s360/twilight%252520BD.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999"&gt;&lt;em&gt;A few days ago I received a beautiful autumn card along with some charts kindly offered by &lt;a href="http://butterfly-butterflywings.blogspot.com/"&gt;June&lt;/a&gt; :) And the week after, another sweet card from June, this time because I found out her mystery stitching and so I won a thread by Polstitches! It's so pretty!! =) Once again, thank you June! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, another package arrived, from &lt;a href="http://ateliercaseiro.blogspot.com/"&gt;Ana&lt;/a&gt;, a gorgeous piece of linen coming straight from Brazil! I love the texture, color, it's perfect! I already know something to stitch on it very soon ;) Look at the wax seal, charming! =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. postman brought some things that I ordered online and I was so anxious to get!! Fabric, charts and threads for something that I want to start stitching in December - I'll tell you more about this soon ;) - and my new Q-snap! My 9" snap frame was too small for Bluebell now, it needed an upgrade to 11"; I also bought extensions to make it into 14" and I think I'm good on frames!  I don't think I'll be using any size bigger than this, otherwise I'll have to start training some weight lifting! :p ehehhhehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And tonight... it's Twilight time!! uhuuuuu :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.armazemdodesign.com/private/smiles2/mail1.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-4830992813427248696?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/4830992813427248696/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/11/oh-happy-mail.html#comment-form' title='19 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/4830992813427248696'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/4830992813427248696'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/11/oh-happy-mail.html' title='oh! happy mail :)'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-tETt2fBw-4I/TsQL_wAKR4I/AAAAAAAANQE/2zUYTgzf4Kw/s72-c/correio%252520da%252520June%252520%2525281%252529.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>19</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-5359887241850433950</id><published>2011-11-14T19:22:00.000Z</published><updated>2011-11-14T19:22:58.901Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='margaret sherry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crochet school'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='snowman'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SAL'/><title type='text'>snowman is here too!! :)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O Pai Natal já tem o seu amigo pronto para a festa :D eheheheh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-tVQvlp_zBmY/TsFVb38EuSI/AAAAAAAANNg/uttS1SU3nBs/s360/snowman%252520%2525281%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais uma vez, usei linha Lana da Madeira para o pompom :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-0gMseGiPKw4/TsFVbjAUr4I/AAAAAAAANNc/HSzq8fqBsGY/s360/snowman%252520%2525282%252529.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E assim terminei mais um SAL, missão cumprida! ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No Domingo fiz um intervalo nos bordados e dediquei-me à tarefa para a &lt;a href="http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/10/crochet-school.html"&gt;aula de crochet&lt;/a&gt;, fazer umas luvas sem dedos:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UedXjraRcpQ/TsFfgO-JAMI/AAAAAAAANOI/pq3SHNCDrc8/s360/crochet%252520wrist%252520warmers.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ainda não estão finalizadas mas já se vê o espaço para os polegares heheheh dá para entender que são as duas mãos :) Falta costurar para fechar as luvas mas para isso tenho de esperar a próxima aula. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agora, é preciso aquecer as agulhas para bordar o presente de Natal para a minha mãe! Mudei a minha ideia inicial, optei por um gráfico diferente com cores muito bonitas mas.. com bastante mais a bordar :p Teria sido mais esperta se mudasse para algo mais simples e rápido, não era? Às vezes a esperteza foge! O que se pode fazer?! LOL!! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Santa's buddy is ready for the party! :D eheheheh&lt;br /&gt;Once again, I used Lana thread by Madeira for the pompom. &lt;br /&gt;With my snowman I finished another SAL, mission accomplished! ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Sunday I took a break on cross stitching, I had an assignment for &lt;a href="http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/10/crochet-school.html"&gt;crochet school&lt;/a&gt;: wrist warmers! It's not finished yet but you can see the space for the thumbs heheheh both hands done :) Next class, we will learn how to seam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I need to warm up my needles to stitch the christmas gift for my mother! I changed my original idea, I chose a different chart with beautiful colors but... with plenty more to stitch :p I'd have been smarter to pick something easy and quick, right? Sometimes cleverness runs away! What can a girl do?!

Preparem-se porque eu sou uma fã incondicional da época natalina!!! (quase ninguém sabe! :p LOL!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No &lt;a href="http://msherrylovers.blogspot.com/"&gt;blog de fãs da Margaret Sherry&lt;/a&gt; estamos a fazer o nosso segundo SAL, duas figurinhas bem amorosas, uma delas é este Pai Natal:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-fCwpo3sYbic/Tr6fefOSDBI/AAAAAAAANMw/oGm9HpGP_zM/s360/SAL%2525232%252520Santa%252520%2525281%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fiz uma ligeira alteração, o gráfico sugere um pompom no topo do gorro, optei por bordar com linha Lana da Madeira (que ainda me sobrou do kit &lt;a href="http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/09/winter-friends.html"&gt;Winter Friends&lt;/a&gt; da Gorjuss). E já que ía bordar o pompom, porque não fazer o mesmo efeito nas mangas do casaco? Acho que ficou engraçado :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZK5l1iZPc0w/Tr6fedOnLKI/AAAAAAAANMs/x54cpJifiQM/s360/SAL%2525232%252520Santa%252520%2525282%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agora vou terminar de bordar o bonequinho de neve que está quase pronto :)&lt;br /&gt;Bom fim-de-semana para todos!!! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;You've seen a little bit of what my Christmas will be this year, some sneak peeks on the gifts, new items for the home decoration... and we are not even in December! Get ready because I'm a big fan of the Christmas season!!!! (almost no one knows! :p LOL!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On &lt;a href="http://msherrylovers.blogspot.com/"&gt;Margaret Sherry's fan blog&lt;/a&gt; we're having our second SAL, two cuties to stitch, one of them is this Santa :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I made a slight change, the chart suggests a pompom on top of the hat, I chose to stitch it with Lana thread by Madeira (I had a bit left from my Gorjuss &lt;a href="http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/09/winter-friends.html"&gt;Winter Friends&lt;/a&gt; kit ). And since I was going to stitch the pompom, why not make the same effect on the sleeves of the jacket? I think it worked out well :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, getting back to my needles, my snowman is almost done :)&lt;br /&gt;Have a nice weekend everyone! :D&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.armazemdodesign.com/private/smiles2/natal47.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-5261308479226867641?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/5261308479226867641/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/11/santa-is-getting-ready.html#comment-form' title='25 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/5261308479226867641'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/5261308479226867641'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/11/santa-is-getting-ready.html' title='Santa is getting ready!'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-fCwpo3sYbic/Tr6fefOSDBI/AAAAAAAANMw/oGm9HpGP_zM/s72-c/SAL%2525232%252520Santa%252520%2525281%252529.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>25</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-3472787899022678786</id><published>2011-11-11T11:11:00.001Z</published><updated>2011-11-11T11:11:02.882Z</updated><title type='text'>11/11/11   11:11</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peçam um desejo!! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-u-20bXAm6bI/Trzdn-DxSwI/AAAAAAAANLY/h-_z1wbmigg/s800/180727591_KFDXCf8Z_c.jpg" width="360" height="239"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Make a wish!! :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.armazemdodesign.com/private/gifs/wish1.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-3472787899022678786?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/3472787899022678786/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/11/111111-1111.html#comment-form' title='14 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/3472787899022678786'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/3472787899022678786'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/11/111111-1111.html' title='11/11/11   11:11'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-u-20bXAm6bI/Trzdn-DxSwI/AAAAAAAANLY/h-_z1wbmigg/s72-c/180727591_KFDXCf8Z_c.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-7462056149586552237</id><published>2011-11-10T18:54:00.000Z</published><updated>2011-11-10T18:54:36.879Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='natal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sneak peek'/><title type='text'>xmas sneak peeks</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A decoração da casa começo só no inicio de Dezembro mas quando lá chego já tenho quase todos os presentinhos para colocar debaixo da árvore. Gosto de ir pensando nos presentes com antecedência, especialmente quando são handmade em que o tempo é um factor essencial! Não me integro na maioria de portugueses que deixa sempre tudo para a última da hora :p hehehehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recordam-se do &lt;a href="http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/09/something-blue-and-silver.html"&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; em que escrevi sobre o caminho de mesa para a minha cunhada? Com um design da Rico, peguei em duas árvores de Natal diferentes, alguns flocos de neve, adaptei à minha peça para bordar e saiu algo assim:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_hUdX4PCuR4/TrpW39FtgbI/AAAAAAAANKc/MMZ_ESI0WzM/s800/xmas%252520sneak%252520peek%252520%2525281%252529.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tal como fiz no ano passado, vou mostrar apenas um bocadinho dos presentes que faço, depois do Natal prometo que revelo as peças completas! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quanto aos presentes da Carol, posso mostrar pois não há risco de que a pequenina venha ler o meu blog! :p LOL Barbies, kittys e nancys.. como qualquer menina adora! A Barbie com o seu cavalo estava na lista para o Pai Natal (sim, seis aninhos e o Pai Natal ainda existe), a outra Barbie é porque a Carol adora vestidos e purpurinas, a Kitty.. foi um achado! Acho que será um presente perfeito :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-BLAID6rtAEY/TrpW4FwKoEI/AAAAAAAANKg/xahXAoTCr9k/s800/xmas%252520sneak%252520peek%252520%2525282%252529.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A foto seguinte explica melhor o que é esta Kitty, é um armário que se abre em duas parte e no interior tem todo um rol de papelaria! Folhinhas, lápis para pintar, autocolantes, deco tapes, há de tudo ali dentro! hahahaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-3lRkaGLUkHw/TrpW4DkleyI/AAAAAAAANKs/6_iyvOYoNOo/s800/xmas%252520sneak%252520peek%252520%2525283%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Embora a Carol sempre recheie a carta ao Pai Natal com todo o tipo de bonecas, acho que esta Kitty será a companheira ideal de muitas horas de brincadeira :) Ela adora pintar, fazer desenhos e colagens. Como não vou a Lisboa tantas vezes quantas gostaria no ano, de vez em quando mando-lhe um livro com uma cartinha dentro, com autocolantes e coisinhas assim que ela gosta e sempre me pede. Acho que este armário secreto vai ser um sucesso para a criança ;) Estou quase a comprar um para mim! hahahahaha :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quem tem alguma memória do presente que mais gostou de receber no Natal? Eu recordo-me de escrever uma carta apenas com risquinhos e ondas, a minha mãe ao meu lado dizia que o Pai Natal iria entender tudo.. não é que entendeu mesmo?? hahahahah Recebi o meu Careca (o Nenuco daquele tempo!) :D hahahhaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I start to decorate the house on 1st December but when I get there I have almost all the gifts ready to put under the tree. I like to get something for everyone soon, especially when it's something handmade (for that time is essential!) I'm not part of the majority of Portuguese people who always leaves everything to the last minute :p hehehehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you remember the &lt;a href="http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/09/something-blue-and-silver.html"&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; I wrote about the tablecloth for my sister in law? With one chart by Rico Designs, I picked two different Christmas trees and some snowflakes,  I had to adapt the design to my tablecloth but it worked pretty well :) I can only show a sneak peek for now but, just like I did last year, I promise I will show all after Christmas! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for Carol's gifts, those I can show because there's no risk the little girl will come read my blog! :p LOL Barbies, Kittys, Nancys... like every girl loves! Barbie with the horse was on her list for Santa (6 y.o. and Santa still exists), another Barbie because she loves doll's dresses and glitter (how she loves glitter!!!) and last Hello Kitty secret closet... I think this is the perfect gift :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The third picture above explains better what this secret closet is, it opens in two parts and inside has a whole list of stationery! Pretty papers, pencils, stickers, deco tapes, everything is in there! hahahaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although Carol always asks Santa for all kinds of dolls, I'm pretty sure that this closet will be the ideal companion for many hours of fun :) She loves to paint, make collages and drawings. I don't go to Lisbon as often as I'd like to so, every now and then, I send her a book with a little letter inside, with stickers and little things that she likes and always asks me. I think this secret closet will be a success for the child ;)I'm almost buying one for myself! hahahahah :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who has some memory of a favorite toy received at Christmas? I remember writing a letter to Santa with only stripes and waves, my mother on my side saying that Santa would understand... and he did!! hahahahah Santa gave me my newborn doll ('Nenuco' from the old days!) :D hahahhaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.armazemdodesign.com/private/smiles2/natal34.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-7462056149586552237?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/7462056149586552237/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/11/xmas-sneak-peeks.html#comment-form' title='15 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/7462056149586552237'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/7462056149586552237'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/11/xmas-sneak-peeks.html' title='xmas sneak peeks'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_hUdX4PCuR4/TrpW39FtgbI/AAAAAAAANKc/MMZ_ESI0WzM/s72-c/xmas%252520sneak%252520peek%252520%2525281%252529.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-8741052962080295834</id><published>2011-11-09T09:39:00.001Z</published><updated>2011-11-09T09:42:12.851Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='natal'/><title type='text'>smells like xmas :)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A única coisa boa do Inverno: o Natal!!!

Todos os enfeites para a minha árvore são em branco e vermelho, por isso este cai mesmo bem e foge à esperada cor vermelha para o Pai Natal ;)&lt;br /&gt;A bola transparente tem relevo e a foto não lhe faz justiça! É muito complicado fotografar objectos que insistem em reflectir a cor do céu que se vê pela janela! :p hahahaha Quando ao nosso novo amigo da primeira foto, esse ainda tem uma surpresa que vou mostrar mais tarde.. merece um vídeo!! ;) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E vocês, já se deixaram levar pelo clima natalício e decoraram os cantinhos à casa? Qual é a vossa parte preferida da decoração? Montar a árvore? Decorar as portas? Colocar velas e cheirinhos pela casa? Enfeitar o exterior/jardim? Eu adoro acender as luzinhas e ficar ali a vê-las piscar, adoro =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The only good thing about winter: Christmas!!! Any doubt? :D hahahhaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I haven't started the decoration on the house, although there's some willingness to do so, I'm keeping my childhood tradition and do it just on 1st December :) Until then, I look for new and different ornaments to put on my tree, like the two on the picture above :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love white Santa :) Sadly the photo doesn't show the fabric on the hat... it has a different texture and it's so charming! All the ornaments on my tree are red and white, so this one will look really good and stays away of the expected red color for Santa ;) The transparent ornament has relief and the picture doesn't make justice to it as well! It's very difficult to photograph objects that insist on reflecting the color of the sky seen through the window! :p hahahaha About our new friend from the first picture, there's a surprise here that I will show you later... needs a video! ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What about you, are you into the Christmas spirit and decorating the corners of your house? What is your favorite part of the decor? Assembling the tree? Decorate the doors? Place candles and scents all over the place? Decorate outside / the garden? I love turning on the lights and sit there watching them blink, love it =)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.armazemdodesign.com/private/smiles2/natal20.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-8741052962080295834?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/8741052962080295834/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/11/smells-like-xmas.html#comment-form' title='17 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/8741052962080295834'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/8741052962080295834'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/11/smells-like-xmas.html' title='smells like xmas :)'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-4HMeeJEqQAo/TrpKroOPC2I/AAAAAAAANJc/4GamX7rjypk/s72-c/smells%252520like%252520xmas%252520%2525281%252529.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>17</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-4283562692602478325</id><published>2011-11-07T09:12:00.002Z</published><updated>2011-11-07T09:15:32.720Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='postais'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cupcakes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lizzie kate'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ponto cruz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SAL'/><title type='text'>november xxx's</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O S.Pedro foi nosso amigo e deu-nos um fim-de-semana de céu bonito :) Continua cada vez mais frio mas pelo menos parou a chuva, especialmente ontem, o sol a brilhar até convidou a ir um pouco ao jardim. Não sei como os passarinhos andam todos contentes com estas temperaturas tão baixas! Pensei que já estariam escondidos em algum lado hehehe ainda tentei tirar algumas fotos mas não apanhei o momento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas fotografei muitas outras coisinhas para partilhar convosco :D&lt;br /&gt;Como na semana passada não consegui vos mostrar os meus bordados, vou começar por aí, as minhas primeiras cruzinhas de Novembro :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais um bloquinho no meu SAL do Christmas Rules, com umas das regras mais bonitas da época de Natal, 'Dá mais do que recebes' :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-u1TLc3R8r2o/TrZqf3s6A_I/AAAAAAAANHo/vU8RzVA__Uc/s800/CRules%252520wip%25252011.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um postal de aniversário para a minha priminha Rosie que faz um aninho esta semana =) Ok, não resisti em fazer mais um cupcake :p heheheh Mas achei engraçado este bolo com 1 velinha para o aniversário de 1 aninho ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rwtnaIe4ajA/Trck3iw5cBI/AAAAAAAANIE/clN59dXBvnk/s800/postal%252520Rosie.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A base é um postal que veio num kit de oferta de uma edição antiga da revista Cross Stitcher. Ao fazer isto deu-me uma ideia... o postal é estampado apenas na frente, dobrado a meio e o interior branco... não é difícil de fazer em casa com qualquer outro desenho a gosto! Só precisamos de utilizar umas folhas um pouco mais resistentes do que a gramagem normal e temos um postal bonito para aplicar um bordadinho na frente :) Prático e fácil!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoje fico por aqui, vou deixar algumas novidades para contar no post de amanhã ;) Uma excelente segunda-feira para todos!!! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;St. Peter was our friend this weekend, gave us sunshine and a beautiful sky :) The cold is getting worst but at least the rain stopped, especially yesterday, the sun was inviting to spend a little time on the garden. I don't know how the birds sing all happy with these low temperatures!  I thought those guys would be hiding somewhere else by now hehehe I tried to take some photos but no luck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I did take a lot of other photos to share with you :D Last week the weather didn't let me post pictures of my cross stitch so I'll start with that, my first xxx-stitches in November :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I started stitching on my SAL, one more block on Christmas Rules with one of my favorite rules for the Christmas season, "Give more than you get' :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I made a birthday card for my little cousin Rosie =) Ok, I couldn't resist stitching one more cupcake :p heheheh but I found this cake with a single candle perfect for the little girl who's turning 1 year old ;) The back that I used for the card came in a gift kit from a back issue of Cross Stitcher magazine. Doing this gave me an idea... the card is printed just in the front, folded in half and white inside... it's not hard to do it at home with any other design we'd like! We just need to use some paper a little thicker than regular paper and we'll have a beautiful back to make any kind of card :) So easy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm ending here today, leaving some things to tell on another post tomorrow :) &lt;br /&gt;Have a great Monday!!!! :D&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.armazemdodesign.com/private/smiles2/frio8.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-4283562692602478325?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/4283562692602478325/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/11/november-xxxs.html#comment-form' title='26 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/4283562692602478325'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/4283562692602478325'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/11/november-xxxs.html' title='november xxx&apos;s'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-u1TLc3R8r2o/TrZqf3s6A_I/AAAAAAAANHo/vU8RzVA__Uc/s72-c/CRules%252520wip%25252011.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>26</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-6545493789328262794</id><published>2011-11-04T12:33:00.002Z</published><updated>2011-11-04T12:35:31.155Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='twilight'/><title type='text'>light festival!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ontem foi a festa das luzes, com luzes de relâmpagos e sem luz eléctrica em casa :p À noite o mau tempo era tal que a electricidade ficou instável, ora caía, ora voltava. Optámos por apagar tudo e ficar com a bateria do portátil, sem net por conta do router desligado mas sempre pudemos ver um filmito :) &lt;br /&gt;Abençoada tecnologia!! LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E mau tempo é sinónimo de que.. não há fotos! Os dias estão cinzentos por demais, está dificil de apanhar uns raios de sol, umas abertas entre as nuvens! Espero ter oportunidade de fotografar os meus bordados este fim-de-semana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apesar do dia escuro por culpa da chuva e da noite iluminada por relâmpagos.. ainda há umas coisinhas boas para contar :) heheheeh Quem é que está a fazer contagem decrescente para a estreia de 'Breaking Dawn'?? Já sabem que não sou uma Twi-fanática mas adoro o enredo da saga e aprecio bastante os filmes, como qualquer romântica que se preze =) ehehehhe O próximo filme estreia em menos de duas semanas e eu evito ler o que quer que seja que rola pela net, não quero ver imagens fora de contexto, prefiro ser surpreendida quando assitir ao filme e ver tudo pela 1ª vez, não estragar a mistica ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas quando se anda pela web às vezes encontramos coisas sem querer, eu encontrei duas.. a banda sonora e uma maneira de ganhar bilhetes para a ante-estreia :D Nem tudo é mau! ahahahah Ganhámos dois bilhetes, lá terá o Rui de me levar ao cinema no dia 16 à meia-noite :D hahahaha Não sei se teremos mais um bom filme mas a banda sonora já me conquistou o coração, especialmente com esta "A Thousand Years" da Christina Perry =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="460" height="285" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/rtOvBOTyX00" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Espero voltar no fim-de-semana com fotos muitas para vos mostrar!&lt;br /&gt;Bom fim-de-semana para todos!!! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yesterday was the  festival of lights, with lightning outside and no electric light inside :p Last night the weather was so bad that electricity was really unstable, falling - coming back - falling again. We decided to turn everything off and stay with the laptop battery, router off so no internet but we could watch movies :)&lt;br /&gt;Blessed technology! LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And bad weather also stands for... no photos! Gray days, it's hard to catch any sun beam, some opening between the clouds! I hope to have the opportunity to take photos during the weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the dark days of rain and the night lit by lightning... there are still a few good things to share :) heheheeh Who's doing the countdown to watch 'Breaking Dawn'? You know that I'm not a Twi-hard fan but I love the plot of the saga and I really enjoy the movies, like any self-respecting romantic girl =) ehehehhe The next movie is coming in less than two weeks and I avoid reading whatever is going on the web, don't want to see images out of context, I prefer to be surprised when watching the movie, seeing all for the 1st time so it won't spoil the mystic ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, sometimes we find things by accident, I found two... the soundtrack and a way to win tickets to the premiere :D It's not all bad! Ahahahaha We won two tickets, oh well, Rui will have to take me to the cinema on the 16th at midnight :D hahahaha I don't know if we'll have one more good movie but the soundtrack won the heart already, especially with this "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perry =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope to return on the weekend with lots of pictures to post!&lt;br /&gt;A great weekend to everyone!!! :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.armazemdodesign.com/private/smiles2/thunder1.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-6545493789328262794?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/6545493789328262794/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/11/light-festival.html#comment-form' title='18 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/6545493789328262794'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/6545493789328262794'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/11/light-festival.html' title='light festival!!'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/rtOvBOTyX00/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>18</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-2395865887024765878</id><published>2011-11-02T23:27:00.000Z</published><updated>2011-11-02T23:27:00.115Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tricotin'/><title type='text'>tricotin - FAQ</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gostei muito de ler todos os vossos comentários no meu &lt;a href="http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/10/tricotin.html"&gt;post sobre o tricotin&lt;/a&gt;, fico contente por vos trazer novidades e saber que acham interessante as coisas que aqui partilho :D Como foge à temática dos bordados, não imaginei que o meu tapete vos despertasse tanta curiosidade! É um prazer responder a todas as vossas questões mas, em vez de repetir o mesmo diversas vezes por email, fica mais fácil um post de resposta geral ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ZqZYNCS4Urg/TrHPUIhU2oI/AAAAAAAANEQ/0m2bSjDYadI/s500/tumblr_ltsacsZYVD1r5unp2o1_500.jpg" widht="360" height="270"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Onde comprei o tricotin?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Na loja habitual onde costumo comprar o material para ponto cruz. Acredito que encontrem em qualquer loja que venda artigos para tricot/crochet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Já costurei a parte que está feita?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nope! Ainda não. Acho que seria mais fácil se começasse já a unir o cordão mas ainda não tenho bem a certeza do formato que farei, estou a deixar crescer mais um pouco para fazer a escolha definitiva. A ideia inicial é fazer redondo mas também existe a hipótese do formato oval.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Como vou unir?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Com a mesma lã e costurando à mão. Pode-se unir pelo verso em cruz mas prefiro fazê-lo entre as camadas do cordão de forma a ficar um ponto invisível. Além de ficar um acabamento mais perfeito também fica uma peça que poderá ser usada de ambos os lados ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Que tamanho pretendo fazer?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok.. aqui vão chamar-me de doida :p Perto de 2m de diâmetro :) Já sabem porquê que é um projecto para todo inverno! hahahahah Na última foto a peça pode parecer grande mas acreditem que ainda não tem nem 50cm de diâmetro! Vai levar bastantes novelos e bastantes semanas para concluir mas com calma tudo se faz, não há pressa ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Detalhe:&lt;/b&gt; para quem se espantou com o avanço entre as duas fotos, lembrem-se que a primeira foto era do fim-de-semana anterior, não do dia em que a postei! Talvez vos tenha parecido que avancei muito rápido porque pensaram que foi em três dias, o intervalo entre os posts heheheh Nope, os quase 50cm de tapete foram de toda uma semana :p &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;É algo que se faz bem num furo durante a hora de almoço, à noite depois de um dia de trabalho, qualquer intervalo de tempo é um pedaço que se avança sem ser preciso estar a olhar um gráfico ou a exigir muita concentração ;) Mas como também não vou parar os bordados para me dedicar exclusivamente ao tapete, isto avançará aos poucos. Irei vos mostrando o avanço :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I really enjoyed reading all your comments on my &lt;a href=""http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/10/tricotin.html&gt;post about the tricotin&lt;/a&gt;, I'm happy to share new things with you and also happy to know that you find my posts interesting :D Because it's something that goes away from the cross stitching theme, I didn't imagine my rug would arouse so much curiosity! It's a pleasure to answer all your questions but, instead of repeating the same several times by email, it's easier to post an overall reply ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Where did I buy my tricotin?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the local store where I usually buy all cross stitch stuff. I believe you can easily find it in any store that sells items for knitting / crochet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Is it sewed what is already done?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nope! Not yet. I think it would be easier if I started to put the cord together but I'm not really sure which shape will I make, I'm letting it grow a little longer to make the final choice. The initial idea is to make it circular but I can also do it in oval shape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;How will I put it together?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using the same wool and sewing by hand. You can sew crosses by hand on the back but I prefer to do it between the layers of the cord, this way stitches won't be visible and we get a neater finish. Also, we get a rug that can be used on both sides ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;How big do I plan to make it?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok. here you'll call me crazy :p Close to 2m (78") in diameter :) Now you know why it's a project for the entire winter! hahahahah It may look big on my last wip picture but believe me it has not even 50cm (20") in diameter! It will take plenty of yarn balls and plenty of weeks to complete but it can be done, there's no rush ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Note:&lt;/b&gt; for those who where surprised with the progress between the two photos, remember that the first picture was from the weekend, not from the day I posted it! Some people thought I did that pretty fast but it's progress from an intire week, not only 3 days between the 2 posts heheheh &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's something we can easily make in a break during the time left of the lunch hour, in the evening after a long day of work, without having to look at a chart or stay very focused ;) any bit of free time is a little more forward on the piece. But I'm not stopping my cross stitch and dedicating my time exclusively to the rug, so it will grow slowly. I'll be showing you the progress :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.armazemdodesign.com/private/smiles2/tricot2.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-2395865887024765878?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/2395865887024765878/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/11/tricotin-faq.html#comment-form' title='16 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/2395865887024765878'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/2395865887024765878'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/11/tricotin-faq.html' title='tricotin - FAQ'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ZqZYNCS4Urg/TrHPUIhU2oI/AAAAAAAANEQ/0m2bSjDYadI/s72-c/tumblr_ltsacsZYVD1r5unp2o1_500.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-4226169161079621863</id><published>2011-11-01T22:56:00.008Z</published><updated>2011-11-02T09:52:13.680Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='halloween'/><title type='text'>doçura ou travessura * trick or treat</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toda a gente recuperada dos sustos da noite de ontem? E da dor de barriga por conta dos doces? :p hehehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em Portugal, o Dia das Bruxas ainda é um fenómeno muito recente, nos últimos anos começou a surgir nas escolas e julgo que aos poucos terá tendência para crescer. Embora os festejos ainda sejam muito pequenos por aqui, é sempre uma boa oportunidade para reunir os amigos e decorar a casa num ambiente diferente. Afinal, toda a desculpa para uma festa é sempre uma boa desculpa ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZsinmojqXh4/TrB9CkL4BuI/AAAAAAAANDs/zu2WWbobByY/s500/witch%252520feet%252520%2525281%252529.gif" widht="360" height="258"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ontem o Rui disse-me que passou por um barulhão no centro da cidade, que com certeza, eu teria adorado! Pensei no barulho das obras que estão a fazer na cidade e logo respondi ironicamente 'Sim, porque eu &lt;em&gt;adoro&lt;/em&gt; barulho' :p E o Rui continua a contar 'Centenas de crianças pequeninas e mascaradas a berrar Doçura ou Travessura!!' ahahahha Isso é verdade, eu teria adorado assistir a essa cena :D Parece que berravam tanto que já era uma travessura da parte dos pequeninos =) hihihi O suficiente para o Rui ficar assustado de tal modo que nem se lembrou de tirar uma foto com o telemóvel para me mostrar, falha gravíssima! hahahah Sem dúvida que eu ía achar a maior graça a esta cena ao vivo e a cores :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-u1ym76B4iLU/TrB9CnOE6CI/AAAAAAAANDo/8OvNG3LTT-c/s500/witch%252520feet%252520%2525282%252529.jpg" widht="360" height="240"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sei que a Carol, a minha afilhada, se mascarou de bruxa pela manhã e de aranha à noite. Sim, duas máscaras para um só dia, a Carol também sabe o que é festa ;) hahahahaha Ainda não vi as fatiotas (estou a aguardar que me mandem fotos) mas já me contou um pouco por telefone hoje :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Passado o Halloween e já se começa a ver o Natal mais pertinho, principalmente para quem gosta de coisas handmade como nós, não é verdade? :) É preciso começar cedo para dar tempo de fazer os presentinhos, eu comecei este fim-de-semana. Vou dar duas semaninhas de intervalo na Bluebell para adiantar as prendas e depois volto à fadinha com mais calma ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este post já está a ficar muito extenso.. deixo para vos contar amanhã sobre os meus crafts e também para responder a todas as questões sobre o tricotin. Ninguém ficou esquecido não, estou seriamente atrasada nos meus emails *vergonha* =) mas eu chego lá ;) hehehe Até amanhã!! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Has everyone recovered from last night's scares? And the stomach pain from the candies? :p hehehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of you asked me about Halloween in Portugal, we call it 'The Witches Day' and it's still very recent. A few years ago, it started to emerge on schools and I think that it will gradually grow. Although the celebrations are still very small here, it's always a good opportunity to gather friends and decorate the house in a different way. After all, any excuse for a party is always a good excuse ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, Rui told me he went through a lot of noise in the city center, for sure, I would have loved it! I thought about the noise of the construction works they are doing in the city and then ironically answered 'Yes, because I love noise' :p And Rui continues telling 'Hundreds of small children in costumes and screaming Trick or Treat!' ahahahha Yes, it's true, I would have loved to watch the scene :D It seems that they were screaming so loud that it was already a trick from the little ones =) hihihi Rui was scared enough, he even forgot to take a picture with his cell phone to show me later, serious flaw! hahahah Oohhh I wish I had seen it :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know Carol, my niece/goddaughter, was a witch in the morning and a spider in the evening. Yes, two costumes for a single day, Carol also knows what a party is ;) hahahahaha I haven't seen the 'outfits' yet (I'm waiting for photos) but she told me a bit on the phone today :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, Halloween is gone and we are getting closer to Christmas! Especially for those who love handmade things like us, right? :) We need to start early to make all gift in time! I started this last weekend, in a couple of weeks I'll get back to Bluebell ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This post is getting too long... tomorrow I'll tell you more about my crafts and I'll also answer to all questions about the tricotin.

Alguém levou a chuva embora, obrigada!! :D&lt;br /&gt;Ontem melhorou e hoje está mesmo um dia lindo de sol :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E como o prometido é devido, sai um post sobre o tricotin! Isto é a coisinha mais fácil de usar, sério, até para uma criança de 5 anos :) É só passar o fio à volta dos pinos e com a agulha de plástico passar as laçadas sobre casa pino. Mais nada, de inicio ao fim, fazemos apenas isto e criamos um cordão.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-R4XoHahcw9A/TrBFshDt92I/AAAAAAAANCE/2cZ-NQOUXus/s360/mosaico%252520diy%252520tricotin.jpg&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As finalidades são imensas! Até onde a imaginação nos levar pois isto dá para fazer as mais diversas coisas, desde flores a bonecos para as crianças, giros colares e pulseiras, alças para bolsas, enfeites, tanta coisa!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-sfk1qheyltA/TrBFsgcb8TI/AAAAAAAANB8/0EUk4lWkYFk/s720/mosaico%252520tricotin.jpg" width="360" height="240"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O que eu estou a fazer, a Annie acertou, um tapete :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-rxMjrHvMx2A/TrBFs0cEwZI/AAAAAAAANCA/J1tIMl24GsY/s360/wip%252520tapete%252520%2525282%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para o meu craft room, não encontrava um tapete colorido como eu queria, decidi fazer! Handmade era a opção perfeita para o espaço que é ;) Pesquisei algumas ideias e resolvi fazer com um tricotin :) Fica fofo e macio, bastante agradável para quando me quiser sentar no chão, como sempre gosto de fazer hehehe E vai dar um ambiente engraçado ao espaço, acho que vai resultar bem. Quanto mais largas as voltas mais demora para crescer, só fiz dois novelos e serão precisos muitos até chegar ao tamanho necessário!!! &lt;br /&gt;É o meu projecto para este Inverno :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;It actually worked!!! Someone took the rain away, thanks! :D Yesterday we had better weather and today a beautiful sunny day :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And as promised, a post about the tricotin and what I'm making! This is the easiest thing to use, really, even for a 5 year old :) Just pass the thread around the pins and with the plastic needle we make loops above the pins. Nothing more, from start to finish, we just do that and it creates a cord.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many ways to use it! As far as our imagination takes us, we can make flowers, toys for children, cute necklaces and bracelets, straps for bags, ornaments, so much! What I'm doing, Annie got it right, a rug :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I couldn't find a colorful rug as I wanted for my craft room, so, I decided to make one! Handmade was the perfect choice for this room ;) I searched some ideas and decided to make it using a tricotin :) It's fluffy and soft, very nice for when I want to sit on the floor, as I always do hehehe I think this will look fun and work really well. The wider the turns become, the longer it takes to grow, so it's a slow progress! It's my project for this winter :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.armazemdodesign.com/private/smiles2/gatinho3.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-2273807844654797095?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/2273807844654797095/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/10/tricotin.html#comment-form' title='30 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/2273807844654797095'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/2273807844654797095'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/10/tricotin.html' title='tricotin'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-R4XoHahcw9A/TrBFshDt92I/AAAAAAAANCE/2cZ-NQOUXus/s72-c/mosaico%252520diy%252520tricotin.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>30</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-321469271554375209</id><published>2011-10-26T22:34:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-10-26T22:36:17.001+01:00</updated><title type='text'>rain.. rain.. go away!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alguém, por favor, leve esta chuva embora?

No fim-de-semana chegou o frio, drástica descida de temperatura, chuva torrencial, ventos muito fortes, trovoada... chegou o Inverno!! Há aqui uma estação que fugiu ao calendário este ano, saltámos o Outono :p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Com o frio também chega a constipação, é um pacote especial '2 em 1' ;) Ontem acabei a noite aos espirros. Mas isto de ver um arco-íris lindo logo pela manhã, dá uma inspiração extra, até com espirros a chatear-nos heheheheh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comecei o meu novo &lt;a href="http://niaphotoblog.tumblr.com/"&gt;Photo Blog&lt;/a&gt; :) algo que já tinha na ideia de fazer há muito tempo, faltava arrancar! É um espaço onde pretendo colocar fotos minhas, coisas esporádicas e do dia-a-dia, nada com história particular para contar como faço aqui neste blog. O &lt;a href="http://niaphotoblog.tumblr.com/"&gt;Photo Blog&lt;/a&gt; será um projecto mais pessoal para alimentar o meu gosto pela fotografia, claro que as visitas são sempre bem-vindas, podem espreitar quando quiserem :) Vou colocar o link para o Tumblr nos corações da barra lateral ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E voltando a falar do meu fim-de-semana, do que andei a fazer com as minhas agulhas enquanto a chuva caía lá fora :) Preparadas??? Eis as fotos: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Gjdq64CzJSY/TqaB_Nj02aI/AAAAAAAAM60/w7NQM1WQ564/s360/Bluebell%252520wip%2525204.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bluebell com o seu vestido pronto, perninhas e penteado novo :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pLomUM9Viv4/TqaB_GiQzoI/AAAAAAAAM64/bL7L0KYm46M/s360/tricotin.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lã e tricotin, alguém adivinha o que vai sair daqui??? :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Until last week, we had warm and dry weather, it didn't look like Autumn, more like a second Spring (or even Summer! It's true, we had very hot days).  Since the weekend we have cold, drastic drop in temperature, torrential rain, strong winds, thunderstorm... Winter has arrived! There's a season that ran off the calendar this year,  we skipped Autumn :p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the cold also comes sneezing , it's a special package '2 in 1' ;)  But this thing of having a beautiful rainbow waiting for us in the morning, gives an extra inspiration even with the sneezing bothering us hehehehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I started my new &lt;a href="http://niaphotoblog.tumblr.com/"&gt;Photo Blog&lt;/a&gt; :) something that I had in mind for a long time! It's a space where I'll post my photos, random images on a daily basis, with no particular story to tell. My &lt;a href="http://niaphotoblog.tumblr.com/"&gt;Photo Blog&lt;/a&gt; is more of a personal project to feed my love for photography, of course, visits are always welcome, you may peek as you want :) I'll put a heart icon with the link to Tumblr in the sidebar ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And back to my weekend, what did I do with my needles while the rain was falling outside? Well, to scroll down and read this, you've seen the pictures above :) I got Bluebell a whole dress, also legs and a new hairdo :D On the second pic, wool and my tricotin, can you guess what will come out of this?? :D&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://dl3.glitter-graphics.net/pub/1259/1259523nvy6v12ccw.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-4097281674850271862?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/4097281674850271862/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/10/weekend-pics-and-new-photo-blog.html#comment-form' title='20 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/4097281674850271862'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/4097281674850271862'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/10/weekend-pics-and-new-photo-blog.html' title='weekend pics and new photo blog :)'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Gjdq64CzJSY/TqaB_Nj02aI/AAAAAAAAM60/w7NQM1WQ564/s72-c/Bluebell%252520wip%2525204.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>20</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-8823106495156770269</id><published>2011-10-24T10:46:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-10-25T10:31:09.658+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='momentos'/><title type='text'>best week start ever :D</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As segundas-feiras são sempre chatas, é o começo de uma semana de trabalho que ainda vem pela frente... ainda mais depois de ter chovido tanto ontem e do frio ter oficialmente chegado!

E se partilho com uma... porque não partilhar com todas? :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;A couple of weeks ago a friend asked me about how I make my round ornaments, so, I took some pictures when I finished my last snowman.&lt;br /&gt;Sharing with one, why not share it with all? :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-AY9XAoQcU9A/Tp8rhH4Mo5I/AAAAAAAAM2k/IkbWOoca84g/s360/DIY%252520round%252520ornament%252520%2525281%252529.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Materiais:&lt;/b&gt; bordado, tecido para o verso, cartão, enchimento, cola branca, pincel, meada e molinhas para auxiliar :) O cartão e o enchimento já estão recortados na medida, o tecido e o bordado também recortei com a mesma forma redonda para facilitar a colagem e com margem ;) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;b&gt;Supplies:&lt;/b&gt; stitched piece, fabric for the back, card, batting, white glue, paintbrush, thread and little cloth spins to help :) The card and batting are already cut, the fabric and stitched piece I cut out with the same round shape but with a bit of margin ;)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-KoALDj2I6C4/Tp8rhXjb3gI/AAAAAAAAM2g/6mDQof9y1Mg/s360/DIY%252520round%252520ornament%252520%2525283%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saem duas sanduíches!! :p heheheh&lt;br /&gt;Tecido + enchimento + cartão para as duas partes &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Two sandwiches coming out!! :p heheheh&lt;br /&gt;Fabric + batting + card for both parts&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-x3ujrfpGke0/Tp8rh22JauI/AAAAAAAAM2w/yHcN3uMwb9Y/s360/DIY%252520round%252520ornament%252520%2525284%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Utilizo as molas para posicionar o tecido e não correr o risco que fique tudo descentrado ;) Pincelo cola branca no cartão e nas margens do tecido para que as pontinhas fiquem bem coladas. Depois de seco, volto a usar as molas para unir as duas partes uma à outra, com cola branca no meio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I use the cloth spins to position the fabric and not to risk everything to be uncentered ;) Brush white glue on the card and the edges of the fabric so that the tips will bond really well. Once it's dry, I use the cloth spins to hold both parts, with white glue in the middle.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-etLa-x-3mXA/Tp8riuPTrzI/AAAAAAAAM28/h7E_BMp9Bjo/s360/DIY%252520round%252520ornament%252520%2525287%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-xro8YJYPoqk/Tp8riDx-F5I/AAAAAAAAM20/Frw8hajfRZs/s360/DIY%252520round%252520ornament%252520%2525286%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As partes unidas, falta apenas colocar o cordão para finalizar :) Mas não coloquei nenhum cordão na primeira foto, apenas uma meada, não foi?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Both parts together and it's time to finish with the cord :) But I didn't put any cord in the first picture, only one thread, right?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-5sIVWhJG9aU/Tp8riyZ__uI/AAAAAAAAM3E/05rapQZVLHU/s360/DIY%252520round%252520ornament%252520%2525288%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Preparem-se para ver magia!! :D hahaha&lt;br /&gt;Sabiam que torcendo uma meada podemos fazer um cordãozinho assim: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Get ready to see some magic! :D hahaha&lt;br /&gt;Did you know that by twisting a thread you can make a cord like this:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-W-B9L6B78Vs/Tp8rjKiTOII/AAAAAAAAM3M/m32H9btlYX4/s360/DIY%252520round%252520ornament%252520%2525289%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De certo que eu não inventei a roda, nem descobri a pólvora! hehehe &lt;br /&gt;Aprendi isto com a Ruby, foi a técnica para fazer a corda do baloiço ;) Basta torcer as pontas até que a dada altura a meada torce-se sobre ela própria:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;For sure I didn't invent the wheel or find out the gunpowder! hehehe I learned this with Ruby, this was the technique to make the rope for the swing ;) Just twist the ends until the thread coil by itself:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-sMyTHNREkEQ/Tp8uDyAadrI/AAAAAAAAM3s/aeumGEh1GTo/s360/DIY%252520cord.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Usei verde e vermelho para verem melhor o efeito na foto, para o meu enfeite fiz apenas com uma cor. Isto é uma solução excelente para quando queremos um cordão com duas cores ou com uma cor especifica que não conseguimos encontrar na loja! :) Mais uma vez, cola branca em uso, aplica-se o cordão à volta do enfeite e voilá :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I used green and red so you can see better on the pictures, for my ornament I made ​it ​with just one color. This is a great solution when we want a cord with 2 colors or when we can't find the exact color that we are looking for! :) Brush a bit of white glue, apply the cord around the ornament and voilá :D&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xNy4Zq7qcCw/TqB7JZFNAiI/AAAAAAAAM4Q/uM1_TLEWNgo/s360/DIY%252520round%252520ornament%252520%25252810%252529.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-EDfE6k03JEc/TqB7JZjGZjI/AAAAAAAAM4U/Or-i2E_-VHQ/s360/DIY%252520round%252520ornament%252520%25252811%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Volto amanhã para vos desejar um óptimo fim-de-semana! ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I'll be back tomorrow to wish you all a great weekend! ;)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://armazemdodesign.com/private/smiles2/neve5.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-5818629971148912528?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/5818629971148912528/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/10/diy-round-ornament.html#comment-form' title='29 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/5818629971148912528'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/5818629971148912528'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/10/diy-round-ornament.html' title='DIY °•●  round ornament'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-AY9XAoQcU9A/Tp8rhH4Mo5I/AAAAAAAAM2k/IkbWOoca84g/s72-c/DIY%252520round%252520ornament%252520%2525281%252529.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>29</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-570513137609529838</id><published>2011-10-19T10:37:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2011-10-19T10:38:48.617+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crochet school'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='natal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='enfeite'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='snowman'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ponto cruz'/><title type='text'>crochet school</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muito obrigada por todas as palavras simpáticas no progresso da Bluebell :) &lt;br /&gt;Não vou começar nada novo por agora, pretendo aproveitar os furinhos de tempo durante a semana para preencher os furinhos no vestido azul ;) hehehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como sabem neste fim-de-semana voltei a bordar a minha fada, no outro fim-de-semana anterior finalizei o saco com a bruxinha... huummm... o que será que fiz neste intervalo? :p Estou numa disposição de terminar as coisas já começadas, por isso, saiu mais ufo da gaveta!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HcPfl7-foeA/Tp6YghrOInI/AAAAAAAAM08/AbgNIyzp_ow/s360/DSC05954.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eeeeeeee palminhas para mim que finalizei um boneco de neve que já estava bordado desde o inicio do ano!!! hahahahah :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E porque aprender nunca é demais, estou de volta à escola! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.craftyminx.com/crochet-school/"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ZC84hRxIW9o/Tp4GcRLa-yI/AAAAAAAAMzo/v4i_FduO46A/s360/Crochet%252520School.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estou a seguir um curso online de crochet, dado pela simpática Dana, do blog &lt;a href="http://www.craftyminx.com/crochet-school/"&gt;Craftyminx&lt;/a&gt; :) Já sabia umas coisinhas básicas mas afinal.. estou a reaprender!

It's been really fun :)&lt;br /&gt;Still have a lot to practice but, who knows, maybe in a few weeks from now I'll be able to actually  'build' something! :D I'm looking forward to it!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://armazemdodesign.com/private/smiles2/crochet.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-570513137609529838?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/570513137609529838/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/10/crochet-school.html#comment-form' title='20 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/570513137609529838'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/570513137609529838'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/10/crochet-school.html' title='crochet school'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HcPfl7-foeA/Tp6YghrOInI/AAAAAAAAM08/AbgNIyzp_ow/s72-c/DSC05954.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>20</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-5583183931121982853</id><published>2011-10-17T16:44:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-11T20:11:10.816Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='IHSW'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bluebell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='w.i.p.'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nora Corbett'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ponto cruz'/><title type='text'>IHSW with Bluebell</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ora bem, o meu fim-de-semana não foi passado numa onda eremita mas sem dúvida que participar no &lt;a href="http://joysze.blogspot.com/p/international-hermit-and-stitch-weekend.html"&gt;International Hermit and Stitch Weekend&lt;/a&gt; deu uma impulsionada extra para bordar! Aproveitei ao máximo o tempo que passei em casa para ter um bom progresso para postar aqui hoje :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voltei à Bluebell :) Podem ver o 'antes' &lt;a href="http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/09/bluebell.html"&gt;neste post&lt;/a&gt; e agora:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kP63_lLnHOQ/TpxK8hg4MtI/AAAAAAAAMyU/lLv_PyPKRsQ/s360/DSC05938%252520copy.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Falta completar alguns espacinhos e estou quase a terminar o vestido! Quer dizer, refiro-me à parte com linhas DMC, ainda há espaços para preencher com linhas Kreinik (meadas metalizadas de uma outra marca) e as missangas. Planeei bordar a minha fadinha por etapas: DMC » Kreinik » Caron Waterlilies » Contorno » Missangas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pode-se dizer que, até estar terminada, ainda tenho 'alguns fins-de-semana' pela frente :p hehehehe Agora tenho muitos bloguinhos para visitar e toneladas de emails para responder!! Oh céus... :p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Well, my weekend wasn't really a hermit time but being part of the &lt;a href="http://joysze.blogspot.com/p/international-hermit-and-stitch-weekend.html"&gt;IHSW&lt;/a&gt; gave me an extra push to stitch! I took the most of my time at home to stitch and have a good progress to post here today :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm back to Bluebell :)&lt;br /&gt;You can see the 'before' &lt;a href="http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/09/bluebell.html"&gt;in this post&lt;/a&gt; and 'now' on the picture above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only missing to fill a few blanks to complete her dress! I mean, the part with DMC threads, there are still spaces to fill with Kreinik and beads. I planned to stitch my fairy in steps: DMC » Kreinik » Caron Waterlilies » backstitch » beads&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until Bluebell is all done, you can say that I still have a 'few weekends' ahead to stitch :p hehehehe Now I have lots of blogs to read and tons of emails to reply!!

Eu bem vos avisei, no inicio da semana, que tinha muita coisa para partilhar convosco :) e ainda falta a receita dos cupcakes! Pensaram que eu tinha esquecido? heheheh :p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4jQck-BVa_k/TpNRYPDL9tI/AAAAAAAAMjM/hzkhqMBLE_k/s360/cupcakes%252520copy.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;massa&lt;/b&gt;: 6 ovos, 250 gr açúcar, 250 gr farinha c/fermento, 200 gr tablete chocolate, 150 gr manteiga&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;decoração&lt;/b&gt;: 4 dl de natas, 4 c. (sopa) de açúcar&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pré-aquecer o forno a 200ºC e colocar 24 forminhas de papel nas formas para o forno. Bater as gemas com o açúcar. Derreter o chocolate com a manteiga e juntar ao preparado das gemas. Bater as claras em castelo e envolver na massa, alternando com a farinha. Vai ao forno por 15 minutos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-6Jkw6tr1CBE/TpmGXX27DeI/AAAAAAAAMx0/vIpl0yRg46o/s360/cupcakes2.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para a decoração, bater as natas com o açúcar para fazer o chantilly... coisa que eu não falhei miseravelmente!!! :p Depois de duas tentativas, resignei-me ao chantilly em lata! LOL Lá terei que fazer cupcakes mais vezes para treinar a cobertura ;) heheheh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O resultado...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-R6usED5Hsr4/TpmGXQ80rqI/AAAAAAAAMx4/BgLBEGzWNEg/s360/cupcakes3.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...um sabor delicioso em forma de calóricas bombas de chocolate :D hahaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This week was full of new posts here on my blog! Well, in the beginning of the week, I warned you that I had a lot to share :) and I haven't posted my cupcakes recipe yet! You thought I had forgotten, didn't you? heheheh :p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;dough:&lt;/b&gt; 6 eggs, 250 gr sugar, 250 gr flour with baking powder, 200 gr chocolate tablet, 150 gr butter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;decoration:&lt;/b&gt; 4 dl heavy whipping cream, 4 tablespoons of sugar&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Preheat the oven to 200ºC and line 24 cupcake pans with paper liners.&lt;br /&gt;Mix the yolks with the sugar. Melt the chocolate with the butter and add it to the yolks. Place the egg whites in a large mixing bowl and beat at high speed until egg whites are frothy. Add to the rest, folding gently between each addition and alternating with the flour. Bake for 15 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For decoration, chantilly, mix whipping cream with sugar... something I completely failed!! :p After 2 attempts, I resigned myself to chantilly in a can! LOL Looks like I need to bake cupcakes more often to pratice the frosting ;) heheheh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the end, a delicious flavor in the form of caloric chocolate bombs :D hahahah&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://armazemdodesign.com/private/gifs/chocolate.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-1934680639660384856?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/1934680639660384856/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/10/cupcakes-de-chocolate.html#comment-form' title='21 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/1934680639660384856'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/1934680639660384856'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/10/cupcakes-de-chocolate.html' title='cupcakes de chocolate'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4jQck-BVa_k/TpNRYPDL9tI/AAAAAAAAMjM/hzkhqMBLE_k/s72-c/cupcakes%252520copy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>21</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-3823385691923707875</id><published>2011-10-14T10:27:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-10-14T10:28:04.357+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='IHSW'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gorjuss'/><title type='text'>my journal :)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fiquei muito contente com os vossos comentários no tutorial do último post, tinha receio que a minha explicação não fosse muito clara :p Fico contente que tenham compreendido bem! De qualquer modo, estejam à vontade para colocar questões/dúvidas, disponham! =) E não tenham receio de tentar fazer, é assim mesmo que se aprende, também comecei a errar e a desfazer (mais do que uma vez) até conseguir fazer direitinho. Faz parte ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ainda tenho a minha primeira receita de cupcakes para postar mas antes não consegui resistir a vos mostrar uma outra coisinha :) Pela primeira vez, encontrei uma loja a vender artigos de papelaria da Gorjuss! Quer dizer, artigo, só tinha um tipo de bloquinho mas já me deixou contente :D hehehehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-LDc5gwTZywI/TpdbDjZHwUI/AAAAAAAAMxU/i__0ZFHromM/s360/my%252520journal.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Já lhe dei destino, é o meu novo diário de bordado :) hehehe Não vou anotar horas nem cronometrar tempos! Básicamente, é um bloquinho onde irei anotar os dias e as coisinhas que bordo.  Isto vai me ajudar, por exemplo, com a Bluebell, para ter uma noção de quantas semanas/meses leva a bordar este projecto maior ;) Será também para anotar ideias de coisas novas para fazer ou dicas para finalizar as peças.. um diário para os crafts :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Planos para este fim-de-semana? Bordar, bordar muito :)&lt;br /&gt;Pela primeira vez, vou participar no &lt;a href="http://joysze.blogspot.com/p/international-hermit-and-stitch-weekend.html"&gt;International Hermit and Stitch Weekend&lt;/a&gt;! :) Para quem ainda não conhece, é uma actividade que ocorre a cada 3º fim-de-semana do mês, um grupo assume o compromisso de bordar durante os 2 dias e na 2ª feira seguinte cada qual posta o seu progresso e visita os restantes blogs do grupo. Já tinha intenção de passar o fim-de-semana a bordar, estou a aproveitar a oportunidade para experimentar algo novo e ainda conhecer algumas amigas pelo caminho! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://joysze.blogspot.com/p/international-hermit-and-stitch-weekend.html"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GRBrujkNvaA/TpdbE0ScnmI/AAAAAAAAMxc/UNZ8vDiiE6U/s190/IHSW.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E os vossos planos para o fim-de-semana? Faço o que fizerem, não se esqueçam de se divertir :D Só faz bem à saúde! ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I was so pleased with your comments on my tutorial from the last post =) I was afraid my explanation wasn't very clear, special in english :p I'm glad you all understood me well! Anyway, if you have questions / doubts, feel free to ask! And don't be afraid to try, that's exactly how we learn, I started making many mistakes until I got it right. It's part of the job ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still have my first cupcake recipe to post but I couldn't resist showing you something else first :) I bought my first stitching journal :) For the first time, I found a store with Gorjuss stationery! Well, they had only one kind of notebook but that was enought to make me happy :D hehehehe I'll use it to write down what I stitch and the days, I won't be counting the hours, not that. With SALs and other things, I lose the notion of the time it takes to make something. This will help me with Bluebell, for example, with my stitching journal I will be able to know how many weeks/months took to stitch her ;) Also to write ideas for new things to do or tips to finish the pieces.. a craft journal :D&lt;br /&gt;Who else has a journal? :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plans for this weekend? Stitch, stitch a lot!!&lt;br /&gt;I'm joining the &lt;a href="http://joysze.blogspot.com/p/international-hermit-and-stitch-weekend.html"&gt;International Hermit and Stitch Weekend&lt;/a&gt; for the first time! :)&lt;br /&gt;My plan was to stitch a lot during the weekend anyway so I'm taking the opportunity to try something new and meet some friends on the way! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What about your plans for the weekend? Whatever you'll do, don't forget to have fun :D It's only good for your health! ;)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://armazemdodesign.com/private/yoyocici/dance.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-3823385691923707875?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/3823385691923707875/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/10/my-journal.html#comment-form' title='14 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/3823385691923707875'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/3823385691923707875'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/10/my-journal.html' title='my journal :)'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-LDc5gwTZywI/TpdbDjZHwUI/AAAAAAAAMxU/i__0ZFHromM/s72-c/my%252520journal.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-8611256445984180734</id><published>2011-10-12T23:37:00.011+01:00</published><updated>2011-10-13T00:14:10.984+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tutorial'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diy'/><title type='text'>DIY °•● string bag</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não se esqueçam que sou amadora na arte das costuras :p Com a ajuda das fotos, vou tentar explicar como faço os meus saquinhos, qualquer dúvida perguntem! Terei todo o prazer em tentar explicar melhor :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Don't forget that I'm an amateur in the art of sewing :p With pictures to help, I'll try to explain how I make my string bags. Any doubt, feel free to ask, I'll try to explain better :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notas sobre os tecidos a usar:&lt;br /&gt;- tecido branco: com a mesma altura do bordado e 2cm a mais de largura. Não ficará visível, serve apenas de camada de fundo para não se ver a estampa/cor do tecido que ficará do outro lado&lt;br /&gt;- tecido estampado, com mais 2cm de largura em relação ao bordado e o comprimento.. dependerá do tamanho do saquinho que querem fazer! Eu faço os saquinhos com forro por isso utilizo uma peça comprida para evitar muitas costuras. Mas vejam o tutorial até ao fim e irão perceber como funciona ;) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Notes about the fabric to use:&lt;br /&gt;- White fabric, with the same height as the cross stitched piece and more 2cm wide. This won't be visible, it's only a layer so we won't see the print/color of the fabric that will be on the other side&lt;br /&gt;- Printed fabric, also with more 2 cm in width and length.. depends on the size of the bag you want to make! I make my bags with the same fabric for liner so I use a long piece to avoid many seams. But follow the tutorial and you'll see how it works ;)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=center&gt;Marcar as margens do tecido branco, ficará com a mesma largura do bordado&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Make the hems on the white fabric, this will have the same width as the cross stitched piece&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-AcwZxxdubmI/TpYTtTKkCpI/AAAAAAAAMoM/M-9lIUlTLUk/s640/01.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-GmuIVpVDEco/TpYcvqdd3PI/AAAAAAAAMq8/3WJhZIx6jkI/s800/diy%252520string%252520bag%252520%25252801%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Igual com o tecido estampado &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The same with the printed fabric&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-FYedHKWqeGI/TpYTssUYN6I/AAAAAAAAMn4/YpD0kKSpgbU/s640/02.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-M-Zp9qkRnLE/TpYcwBDEfzI/AAAAAAAAMrE/4aSLykITeV4/s800/diy%252520string%252520bag%252520%25252802%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Temos ambas as partes com a sua bainha e medida certa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;We have both parts with the same measure&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-pvxEdUefrwM/TpYTssXQP3I/AAAAAAAAMn8/af5hbmliKX0/s640/03.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-WE5FuhqnqQA/TpYcv_bnQwI/AAAAAAAAMrA/KFUzUJsPflA/s800/diy%252520string%252520bag%252520%25252803%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agora a primeira costura, para unir o bordado a uma das pontas do tecido.

Posicionam como querem, dobram a meio e temos...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Now bend the piece, place the xxx-stitched part as you wish, fold in half and you have...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-p_uBBc8Ql4U/TpYTuCDJHaI/AAAAAAAAMoo/3xcr7ut0kKY/s640/07.JPG&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-vrpxbmC3EMs/TpYcxIqLReI/AAAAAAAAMr0/rm9QIyhzj_g/s800/diy%252520string%252520bag%252520%25252807%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... o bordado costurado na frente e o forro perfeitinho ;)&lt;br /&gt;Com o tecido bem dobrado a meio, marcamos os topos onde passará a fita &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;... the cross stitched piece placed on the front and a perfect liner ;)&lt;br /&gt;With the fabric well folded in half, mark the edges for the ribbon&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-uE7RUAlco2o/TpYTu-NjF0I/AAAAAAAAMow/R3wbb4gz-ho/s640/08.JPG&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bNhbMGIgm2k/TpYcxI_xFJI/AAAAAAAAMro/X-KWAEdidXc/s800/diy%252520string%252520bag%252520%25252808%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E costura-se em ambas a partes do saquinho&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sew both sides of the bag&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-s3Wi5TixCl4/TpYTu4ybd_I/AAAAAAAAMo0/qn9KMT0He-I/s640/09.jpg&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-F3ohk31UUpM/TpYcxbiSB0I/AAAAAAAAMr4/BG68kuU5idw/s800/diy%252520string%252520bag%252520%25252809%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para finalizar, é só fechar as laterais, aqui deve-se costurar o mais na margem possível e a partir da costura anterior para baixo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Finally,  just close the sides, sew as closer to edge as possible and down from the previous seam &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-_8LKAgdEdEA/TpYTvK393UI/AAAAAAAAMpA/HoRccSfxoY8/s640/10.JPG&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-C9lMX5e1Wnw/TpYcxjwuqII/AAAAAAAAMsA/YGo6HV7TqEw/s800/diy%252520string%252520bag%252520%25252810%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As margens de 1cm são apenas para uma finalização mais perfeitinha, podem ver na foto seguinte. Sem a margem estariamos a ver as extremidades do tecido e não ficava tão bonito. Não fiz o mesmo para o bordado porque o tecido é mais grosso e ía dificultar ao passar na maquina de costura, tenham cuidado com a grossura para não partir agulhas ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I make 1cm hems for a nicer finish as you can see in the picture below.  Without the hems we would be seeing the end of the fabric. I didn't do the same for the stitched fabric because the fabric is thicker and would be troubling for the sewing machine, be carefull, we don't want to break needles ;)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-r1ZyyG6GWrI/TpYTvj_r8WI/AAAAAAAAMpI/Wzu9UTcf-8M/s640/11.jpg&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-TTzy8iIiNiY/TpYcx0U6klI/AAAAAAAAMsE/3ZoFrBSGEOk/s800/diy%252520string%252520bag%252520%25252811%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para fazer o fundo basta costurar as pontas do saquinho assim:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;To make the bottom just sew the corners like this&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-tkJo8p6vfTY/TpYTv0p6ZwI/AAAAAAAAMpM/8mhmUAVnr7c/s640/12.JPG&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Udr4AhEcwfk/TpYcyL-shDI/AAAAAAAAMsk/UxbceS__nNY/s800/diy%252520string%252520bag%252520%25252812%252529.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por fora:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Outside:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-cS4WNiCN3gI/TpYTwCRa2WI/AAAAAAAAMpY/J5-dqkBhWgw/s640/13.JPG&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-yq50tsUMihk/TpYcyRgAMbI/AAAAAAAAMsY/BGnWDMlxhSE/s800/diy%252520string%252520bag%252520%25252813%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pessoalmente, gosto mais dos saquinhos com duas fitas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I prefer to use two ribbons&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UCuhXD3Ou-I/TpYTw9sdoQI/AAAAAAAAMpo/6jhRJShpJF0/s640/14.JPG&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-CiTxwAybn5c/TpYcyVP9ZJI/AAAAAAAAMsU/SH0UVKsQ_sM/s800/diy%252520string%252520bag%252520%25252814%252529.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voilá! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ivRCNifyzFk/TpYTwlCkcbI/AAAAAAAAMpg/eAyXsxAkF3I/s640/15.JPG&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-N2mnlpQnEU4/TpYcyy0emYI/AAAAAAAAMso/DvraXIux68k/s800/diy%252520string%252520bag%252520%25252815%252529.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-WntgkNexOUk/TpYTw6Ni13I/AAAAAAAAMps/ESpV8C0xZo8/s640/16.JPG&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-B7_JyuZf220/TpYczJNzAFI/AAAAAAAAMs0/YwL08Nzfo6k/s800/diy%252520string%252520bag%252520%25252816%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uffff :p Foi dose para explicar!

Por aqui as temperaturas estão entre os 27-30ºC e parece que o Verão tardio está espalhado pela Europa.  As estações do ano já não são o que eram antes! :p &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em Portugal foi feriado ontem, um dia de descanso do trabalho mas, como tivemos um aniversário na família, passei umas horitas na cozinha a fazer sobremesas. Com o calor que estava e ainda mais o calor do forno ligado.. foi dose enfrentar a cozinha :p Depois de fazer o meu bolo de chocolate desisti da ideia de fazer cupcakes, deixei esses para fazer no fim-de-semana ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ainda sobrou um tempinho para as agulhas, comecei um gráfico da &lt;a href=http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/09/just-cross-stitch.html&gt;JCS Halloween 2011&lt;/a&gt;.. será que adivinham qual? :p Para quem já viu a revista, dêem lá um palpite, qual será o enfeite que escolhi fazer primeiro? Foi tão instantâneo quando lhe bati os olhinhos.. acho mesmo que é fácil de adivinharem, bastante óbvio ;) ehehehhe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para fechar o meu post de hoje, uma foto das minhas últimas aquisições :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-0RMc4UVvr68/To1o_1-o4yI/AAAAAAAAMh0/yvrE51McrJ0/s800/prym%252520vs%252520milward.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um tricotin e um cogumelo para costura :) Este cogumelo é uma versão moderna do tradicional ovo de madeira, não faço a mínima ideia se alguma vez vou realmente utilizá-lo mas... que tiveram uma ideia gira de fazer isto num cogumelo fofo, isso tiveram! :D hehehhehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;We're having a summer bliss in October! Around here the temperatures are between 27-30º C and it seems that this late summer is spread throughout Europe. Seasons are no longer what it used to be! :p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday was a holiday in Portugal, one day to rest from work but, as we had a birthday in the family, I spent a couple of hours in the kitchen making desserts. Having such a hot day and adding the heat from the oven on... it wasn't easy to stay in the kitchen :p After baking my chocolate cake I gave up the idea of ​​baking cupcakes, I'm leaving those for the weekend ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a little time left for the needles, I started a chart from &lt;a href=http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/09/just-cross-stitch.html&gt;JCS Halloween 2011&lt;/a&gt;... can you guess which one? :p If you have seen the magazine, take a guess, which ornament have I chose to do first? It was such an instantaneous choice when I snapped my eyes on it... I really think that's easy to guess ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To close today's post, a picture of my latest acquisitions: a tricotin and a darning mushroom :) This mushroom is a modern version of the traditional wooden egg, I have no idea if I'll ever actually use it but ... I couldn't resist it! Such a fun idea to turn this into a cute mushroom :D hehehhehe&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://armazemdodesign.com/private/yoyocici/hot.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-141538650501685431?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/141538650501685431/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/10/summer-is-back.html#comment-form' title='20 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/141538650501685431'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/141538650501685431'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/10/summer-is-back.html' title='summer is back!'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-0RMc4UVvr68/To1o_1-o4yI/AAAAAAAAMh0/yvrE51McrJ0/s72-c/prym%252520vs%252520milward.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>20</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-4094950328013384863</id><published>2011-10-04T22:10:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-10-05T07:52:43.589+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='halloween'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='JCS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ponto cruz'/><title type='text'>by the full moon</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de terminar o bloquinho de Outubro no Christmas Rules a peça voltou para a gaveta dos wips, como já é habitual, para esperar um novo mês chegar.

At that moment,  an old ufo called out my name :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An halloween ornament that I stitched last year but was kept out of my 2010 finishes list because I didn't have a pinking sheers at the time :p So, before starting new things, I thought it was best to finish this one first ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Sunday I stitched the beads but I was missing the organza ribbon, now my ornament is finished just like I wanted :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also in the drawer is Photobooth snowmen (yes!!!! that one! LOL), and two other snowmen that I stitched in the beginning of this year. Soon you'll see them here :) I hope to get to the end of 2011 with an empty drawer, without any wip or ufo! :p&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://armazemdodesign.com/private/gifs/fullmoon.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-4094950328013384863?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/4094950328013384863/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/10/by-full-moon.html#comment-form' title='20 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/4094950328013384863'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/4094950328013384863'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/10/by-full-moon.html' title='by the full moon'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-CI4b3vk35yo/Tot2xYCRcTI/AAAAAAAAMhQ/4FJggUNvFP8/s72-c/by%252520the%252520full%252520moon.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>20</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-2806378891517361796</id><published>2011-10-02T23:52:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2011-10-03T00:09:21.499+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='w.i.p.'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cupcakes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lizzie kate'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ponto cruz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SAL'/><title type='text'>photo weekend :)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-9XIgBxLMhpk/TojuYmytumI/AAAAAAAAMeU/0q_i2MedLzc/s800/cupcake%252520tabuleiro.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;novo tabuleiro na minha cozinha :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;new tray on my kitchen :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rHRYhtbsX7g/TojugnHUwvI/AAAAAAAAMfA/r0K4ST6cjhE/s800/charms.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;encontrei novos pendentes &amp;hearts; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;found new charms &amp;hearts;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-A_LRyehuf1U/TojudHqdkBI/AAAAAAAAMeo/d_ckIGNpob4/s800/CRules%252520wip%252520Outubro%252520%2525281%252529.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;mais um bloquinho no Christmas Rules!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;one more block on Christmas Rules!&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-cLl2O2P1c1E/Tojuk2dV11I/AAAAAAAAMfU/IJT1p5Yy4Pk/s800/wip%252520halloween%252520ornament.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;bordado do ano passado que estava à espera de ser finalizado :p está quase!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;stitched this last year but it was waiting to be finished :p almost done!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E o vosso fim-de-semana, como foi?

Na verdade fiquei triste quando abri o pacote e reparei que não era a minha encomenda.. enviaram-me a revista em vez do livro, uma edição especial de Halloween.

Actually, I was sad at first, when I opened the package and noticed that it wasn't what I had order... I got the Annual Halloween Issue instead of the Halloween Collection Book. But, soon after, I was happy again because they will rectify the mistake by sending me the book today and I can keep the magazine that came by mistake :p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=http://123stitch.com/&gt;1-2-3 Stitch&lt;/a&gt; has a happy customer! :D hehehe&lt;br /&gt;I'm starting to prepare my needles for Halloween ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been stitching Bluebell but I haven't shown updates here because the progress was very slow :p I was stitching, stitching, stitching... and I couldn't see my fairy grow!!

Só preciso escolher os gráficos! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para o tema de Natal, pensei em algo do tipo presentes em azul com fita prata, como este que encontrei na Rico Designs:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eusY6A1Yfx0/TnMY1eLSxgI/AAAAAAAAMRU/mSlLgCtHMKQ/s800/ideias%252520natal%252520%2525281%252529.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas na mesma revista tem também este outro gráfico que achei muito bonito:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ICqT8Vvv9ik/TnMY1QCs70I/AAAAAAAAMRQ/sOqVgCCtE6Q/s800/ideias%252520natal%252520%2525282%252529.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gosto das árvores de risquinhas e dos flocos de neve soltos... conseguem imaginar isto em azul e prata? :) Mandem os vossos palpites, todas as sugestões são bem vindas ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I think 2011 has beaten the record of the year when I've stitched more blue!  :p&lt;br /&gt;I've told you that I was preparing some birthday gifts, one of them was for my sister-in-law, who asked me for a blue version of the table runner that I stitched last year for my mother. &lt;a href="http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/01/presentes-handmade.html"&gt;Do you remember&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;And thus was born a blue version of the same piece :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having a family that appreciates my handmade gifts it's great when it comes the time to make the Christmas list, no need to decide what to offer, just take requests ;) To my mother I will stitch a set for the kitchen and to my SIL another table runner in blue and silver, this time with the Christmas theme. &lt;br /&gt;I just need to choose the patterns! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the Christmas theme, first I thought of something like blue gift boxes with silver ribbons, as I found in Rico Designs magazine (picture above with the red patterns). But in the same issue there's another pattern that I found very pretty, look to the last pic above.. I like those stripe trees and snowflakes floating... can you imagine it in blue and silver? :) Let me know what you think, all suggestions are welcome ;)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.armazemdodesign.com/private/smiles2/blue.gif" width="60" height="60"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-204332399066848060?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/204332399066848060/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/09/something-blue-and-silver.html#comment-form' title='23 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/204332399066848060'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/204332399066848060'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/09/something-blue-and-silver.html' title='something blue... and silver :)'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-rAHX8uToHKg/TnHZ2RvX45I/AAAAAAAAMPI/3SwLFSq4zTU/s72-c/table%252520runner%252520blue%252520%2525281%252529.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>23</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-802997645365771180</id><published>2011-09-15T09:16:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-15T12:10:43.871+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Madeira'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gorjuss'/><title type='text'>❆  lana  ❆</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sem sombra de dúvida que as minhas meninas Gorjuss batem os recordes de comentários nos posts aqui do blog! :D Eu bem vos avisei que vinha por aí uma sobrecarga de fofura ;) ehehehe Vocês sabem que sempre respondo por email a todos os comentários que me deixam aqui no blog.. bom, excepto quando não há nenhum email associado ao perfil de utilizador, aí fica difícil :p Mas, em vez de responder às vossas palavras simpáticas com 37 agradecimentos corados, vou reunir tudo num único e gigante..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... obrigadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa &lt;img src="http://www.armazemdodesign.com/private/smiles2/corado2.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como já vos contei antes, estes kits trazem sempre algum detalhe, algo diferente e interessante. Neste foi o efeito para a neve :) Muitas foram as perguntas de como se faz, a resposta: linha Lana, da Madeira ;) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-NKTPWCAyPpU/TnGztCYkElI/AAAAAAAAMOQ/Ng2RkiZjvE8/s800/winter%252520friends%252520%2525284%252529.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;É uma linha de efeito especial, semelhante às linhas de algodão mas com um textura ligeiramente mais peluda. O efeito faz-se no fim de bordar, esfregando com um pedaço de velcro que vai 'puxar' aquele efeito algodão. &lt;br /&gt;Interessante, não é? :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4UBocWzYvuk/TnGzxPI1mdI/AAAAAAAAMOo/HhbYj6-Iw8M/s800/mandeira%252520lana.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este post já está a ficar um pouco longo (consequência de quem escreve em duas linguas :p) por isso deixo os updates dos meus bordados para amanhã. Novas fotos no próximo post ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;My Gorjuss girls always beat the record of comments on my blog posts! :D I warned you that there was a cuteness overload coming :) ehehehe You know I always reply by email to all the comments I get here on the blog... well, except when there is no email associated with the user profile, in that case it gets complicated to write back :p But instead of answering to your kind words with 37 blushed 'thank you', I'm wrapping all together in one single and giant ..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... thaaaaaaaaaaaank yoooooooooooouu&lt;img src="http://www.armazemdodesign.com/private/smiles2/corado2.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I've told you before, these kits always bring some detail, something different and interesting. This time was the snow effect :) I got many question about how I did that, simple answer: Lana thread, by Madeira ;) It's a special thread, very similar to the regular cotton threads but with a little more fluffy texture. First we stitch and then the effect is made rubbing with a piece of velcro that will 'pull' the cotton. Interesting, isn't it? :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This post is getting a bit long (the result of blogging in two languages​ ​:p) so I'm leaving my cross stitch updates for tomorrow.

I took the opportunity to buy a few things... fabric, colored Aida, one table runner, one baby burp cloth and a couple of threads (which are usually more expensive) already thinking about Christmas ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But you want to see stitching pictures, right? :D Come back tomorrow! ;)&lt;br /&gt;An excellent week for you... and for me too! :p heheheh&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.armazemdodesign.com/private/smiles2/paz2.gif"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-440752593232210997?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/440752593232210997/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/09/oh-yes-its-monday-p.html#comment-form' title='15 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/440752593232210997'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/440752593232210997'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/09/oh-yes-its-monday-p.html' title='oh yes.. it&apos;s Monday! :p'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JU8anajxtz4/Tm3WmPw9pPI/AAAAAAAAMMI/eXAvIdqqcDU/s72-c/compras%252520aniv%252520lavores.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-5608797775206528403</id><published>2011-09-09T22:24:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-09T23:42:09.014+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tutorial'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cupcakes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diy'/><title type='text'>DIY °•● cupcake #1</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No meu aniversário recebi da &lt;a href="http://themainhoose.blogspot.com/"&gt;Lainey&lt;/a&gt; um &lt;a href="http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/07/after-party-p.html"&gt;cupcake de tecido&lt;/a&gt; que achei a coisa mais fofa =) Já tinha visto uma ideia semelhante na Cross Stitcher mas feito com barras de quadrilé.

I decided to try it with lugana and felt to make a cream effect heheheh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ingredients: 1 FQ, 1 strip of felt, 1 thread, 2 pins and 1 cupcake cup&lt;br /&gt;Note: I used my new pinking shears on the felt :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fold the fabric several times to get a strip with the desired height for the cupcake. Use a strip of felt with the same height as the fabric, put one over the other and the thread on the end. That will be our cherry on the top :)&lt;br /&gt;Roll until the end, hold with two pins and trim the excess felt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An adorable idea to offer fabric to our friends! :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=http://www.armazemdodesign.com/private/smiles2/cupcake1.gif&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-5608797775206528403?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/5608797775206528403/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/09/diy-cupcake-1.html#comment-form' title='23 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/5608797775206528403'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/5608797775206528403'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/09/diy-cupcake-1.html' title='DIY °•● cupcake #1'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-VfbgBtvtGF4/TmqVcYKVCFI/AAAAAAAAMLA/VGJO90FAZ9I/s72-c/diy%252520cupcake%252520%252520%2525231%252520%2525281%252529.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>23</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-3669979280458565949</id><published>2011-09-08T18:29:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-08T18:29:53.833+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='me myself and I'/><title type='text'>época de festas chega ao fim :p</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não digam que não vos avisei.. o meu aniversário é mesmo festa cigana!

I even had the intention to stitch my Christmas Rules block for this month but "Gorjuss --- gorjuss --- gorjuss ---" was all that my heart was listening :)))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's only missing a polar bear to complete the party ;) heheheh&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://dl5.glitter-graphics.net/pub/1434/1434885w8p4eaeo05.gif" width=100 height=84&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347193842350589334-4322766044517710361?l=caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/feeds/4322766044517710361/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/09/quase-almost.html#comment-form' title='19 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/4322766044517710361'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347193842350589334/posts/default/4322766044517710361'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caixinhadepirlimpimpim.blogspot.com/2011/09/quase-almost.html' title='quase... almost... :)'/><author><name>♥ Nia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196154007481540449</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_stpbQVU9qWo/S4CSB0eRm2I/AAAAAAAAIdc/06ugMV5yOR4/menina3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-AQArDGtKBMI/TmTYWnsdh2I/AAAAAAAAMH4/GVuIzgHgQ14/s72-c/jardim%252520%2525281%252529.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>19</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347193842350589334.post-2113630899823020541</id><published>2011-09-01T22:51:00.008+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-01T23:29:03.131+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='w.i.p.'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='metas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gorjuss'/><title type='text'>without rain there would be no rainbow</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bem-vindo Setembro! E quase podemos dar as boas-vindas ao Outono também... Portugal está com uns dias de Inverno que ninguém queria tão depressa!
