Estando nas redondezas, é claro que não podia deixar de ir! O recinto contou com uma enorme exposição de quilts e inúmeros stands de vendas... Já se imagina a perdição! Contudo, devo dizer que, em nome da crise, me portei muito bem! No meio de tanta gente e excitação, fotografei muiiiitos quilts, mas mostro-vos apenas alguns de que mais gostei...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Our travel to England, just by coincidence, was on time to the Birmingham Festival of Quilts. Being in the neighborhood , of course I had to go and take a look! There was a huge quilt exhibition and countless selling stalls... You can imagine the temptations! But I must tell you that I was on my best behavior&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;! Amongst the crowd and all the excitement, I took maaaany pictures of the quilts, but will show you just a few that I loved...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646979221612955826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 390px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3cjYe6_FHPc/Tl4Zrt5AiLI/AAAAAAAABek/wOP-iN3eUYU/s400/IMG_2785.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646979491122271042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 211px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rIlmsErVb_g/Tl4Z7Z5CU0I/AAAAAAAABes/2WNk006jE3U/s400/IMG_2818.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646982342849953842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 270px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8pnPMYwT2ho/Tl4chZZ5gDI/AAAAAAAABfc/4rhws-gz6ow/s400/IMG_2821.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;O meu terceiro preferido...

Dividimos a estadia entre duas cidades, Chesterfield e Cheltenham, e, como habitualmente, demorámo-nos pouco a fazer turismo citadino, pois preferimos partir à aventura e visitar as zonas mais rurais e pequenas aldeias cheias de toques românticos e charmosos. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This year, the summer holidays took us, once again, to England, to the Midlands.

A intensa azáfama dos dias ditou as regras e definiu prioridades... Enfim, no final de cada dia, precisei de optar : dedicar pequenos momentos aos "meus crafts" ou passar mais tempo em frente do computador (além daquele que o trabalho exige)... Prevaleceu a 1ª opção e, devagar, devagarinho, fui fazendo alguma coisa... Agora, que finalmente chegaram as férias, tem imperado a preguiça!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Being absent from this little corner for so long was never intentional... The intense labour from every day dictated the rules and imposed priorities... Well, by the end of each day, I needed to opt: spent little moments with my crafts or spent additional time in front of the PC screen... The first option was the choice! So, slowly, I've working on some projects... Now, that vacation time is here, laziness is strong!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5638608589625684098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xreM4cv-nIg/TkBcozwa8II/AAAAAAAABa0/98Y74J7B7qc/s400/IMG_2545.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;O que hoje vos mostro tem sido cozinhado em lume brando desde Fevereiro! Adoro os tecidos Tilda e, por essa altura, quando vi a nova colecção, lancei mãos à obra... O modelo, com adaptações (claro!), encontrei-o num tutorial &lt;a href="http://stashmanicure.blogspot.com/"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt; e chama-se "Hugs and Kisses" .&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Today I want to show you something that has been on my worktable since February! I love Tilda's fabric and, by then, when I saw the new collection, I had to use it... The model came from a tutorial that I found &lt;a href="http://stashmanicure.blogspot.com/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, and it's called "Hugs and Kisses". I changed it a little (of course!).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5638606843706415762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4R2MvZXgmus/TkBbDLs1GpI/AAAAAAAABaU/s4IiFoFKpLo/s400/DSC06723.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Primeiro, a seleccão dos tecidos lisos para conjugar com os estampados e depois o corte. Como é visível nos quadrados cinzentos, marquei logo uma segunda linha de costura para aproveitar os cantos que sobrariam (já os usei noutro projecto, depois mostro...).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;First, it was the selection of solids to go with the prints... After, the cutting process... As you can see in the picture, I marked a second sewing line on the grey squares, in order to save the leftovers to another project (I will show it later...).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5638607752226944402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BhLaJtRWo84/TkBb4ENANZI/AAAAAAAABak/f0Luj6QQhUE/s400/IMG_2541.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Bloco a bloco, a coisa foi-se compondo... Como a minha costura de 1/4 de polegada ainda está longe da perfeição, quando ia juntar os blocos reparei que alguns não ficavam perfeitamente alinhados e resolvi o problema recorrendo ao "sashing", colocando tiras de tecido entre cada quadrado...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Block after block, I came to a good end... As my 1/4" seams are far from perfection, when I was joining the blocks, I noticed that some of them didn't match perfectly, so sashing was in order...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5638609161843023986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b4lqNBWKhl4/TkBdKHbqoHI/AAAAAAAABa8/EMMdLQJZcLU/s400/IMG_2578.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Na fase final, fui acolchoando ao sabor da maré e acabei por formar um desenho que se evidenciou na parte de trás... Os pontos ainda não são perfeitos, mas vai dando para o gasto!

Os motivos são aliciantes, mas a minúcia sempre me intimidou... Fui deixando para depois... Mais recentemente, adquiri o DVD e pronto! Não resisti! As autoras apresentam o seu método com tanto entusiasmo e de forma tão acessível que todo o processo se torna mais fácil... Tem os seus segredos, a conjugação dos tecidos é difícil e as  curvas e pontas requerem muita prática! Cá está o resultado da experiência, quatro blocos:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Long time ago, I bought this book about the apliqué O' Cake method... The patterns are beautiful, but I always felt intimidated... Recently, I also bought the DVD and that was it! The authors are so enthusiastic about they're work and put it so simple that I couldn't resist anymore! There are some secrets, fabric choices are dificult, and perfect curves and points need a lot of practice!

Já o disse, mas não me canso de o repetir: adoro Paris! É claro que a escolha da data para a viagem não foi feita ao acaso... A ideia foi voltar aqui, onde estive precisamente há um ano:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yes, we went there exactly a year ago and have now returned because, as I told you then, we love Paris! Of course the returning wasn't completely innocent... The idea was to go to the same place I'visited last year:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575069281961853442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 290px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XZ3JB6tWEC4/TV6f-VWHQgI/AAAAAAAABV8/2yuAv40f2so/s400/IMG_1711.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Visitei a feira / exposição faz hoje uma semana e, mais uma vez, não me desiludiu. Tanto para ver, tanto para aprender e tanto para comprar! Basta dizer que o dia inteiro que lá passei não foi o suficiente para ver tudo! Ainda por cima, a afluência era tão grande que a circulação, por vezes, não foi fácil... Infelizmente, não se podia tirar fotografias dos &lt;em&gt;stands&lt;/em&gt;, por isso não vos posso mostrar as magníficas criações que vi e as descobertas que fiz... Ao fim do dia, ainda eram muitas as resistentes!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I visited the market / exhibition exactly a week ago and, once again, I wasn't disappointed. So much to see, so many new things to learn and so much to buy! I spent there the all day and it wasn't enough to see everything! And because there were so many visitors, the traffic wasn't easy... Unfortunately, they didnt' allow pictures from the booths, so I can't show you the great designs I saw and all the novelties I found... By the end of the day, there were still so many resistents!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575069044080234130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WZn_qgH8NAc/TV6fwfKtzpI/AAAAAAAABV0/gqKyB1OXaW8/s400/DSC06702.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;No espaço da exposição, este ano dedicada às rendas, já se podia fotografar. Apesar de ser esse o tema central e de os trabalhos expostos serem magníficos, não foram as rendas que mais me impressionaram... O que mais atraiu a minha atenção foi o delicado patchwork de Reiko Kato:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;On the exhibition place, this year devoted to lace, we were allowed to take photos. Despite the central theme and the gorgeous works showed, it was the great Reiko Kato patchwork that caught my attention: &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575371289417080914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 342px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--Zm00LmFXvc/TV-ypeyd4FI/AAAAAAAABXE/-MH96I5_32w/s400/DSC06710.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575370822430241874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 161px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-28Tts12Zqro/TV-yOTIINFI/AAAAAAAABWk/kQUAhH-hfok/s400/Colagem%2Bdo%2BPicnik%2B1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575370936465584482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fFdiMcLkPsc/TV-yU78RcWI/AAAAAAAABWs/Jen9T2zhGlQ/s400/Colagem%2Bdo%2BPicnik2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575371182907332242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 262px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WFAxW2gHY4w/TV-yjSAkFpI/AAAAAAAABW8/eO2XkzhmChc/s400/DSC06709.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575371019297087282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9wJlKWgFH08/TV-yZwg13zI/AAAAAAAABW0/DT8MDaJuAkA/s400/Colagem%2Bdo%2BPicnik%2B3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575371460673695906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZvmckscQBag/TV-yzcxOcKI/AAAAAAAABXM/cg6vnc9lsmE/s400/DSC06712.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;No atrium, o tricot também teve destaque, ora vejam!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;In the atrium, the tricot was, once again, the centerpiece.

Chegaram de longe, de casa da simpática &lt;a href="http://deeroodesigns.blogspot.com/"&gt;deeroo&lt;/a&gt;, a quem agradeço a generosidade. Há muito que projectos com blocos &lt;em&gt;spiderweb&lt;/em&gt; ou &lt;em&gt;string&lt;/em&gt; fazem parte da longa lista de coisas que quero experimentar, mas, como tenho usado sobretudo pré-cortados, não tenho reunido muitas sobras... Enfim, agora já não tenho motivos para não começar um &lt;em&gt;scrapy&lt;/em&gt; project! Obrigada deeroo!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This was the nice surprise I found on my mail box a few days ago! A lot of scraps, a delight to fabric lovers! They came from far away, from nice &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://deeroodesigns.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;deeroo&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;, to whom I express my gratitude. I've been wanting to play with spiderweb or string scrapy blocks for some time, but because I've been using mainly pre cuts on my projects, there weren't many leftovers... So, now I have no excuse to delay it and can start a scrapy project!

Já voltámos de férias há muitos dias, mas o calor e a preguiça só agora me deixaram dedicar algum tempo a este espaço... Este ano, a nossa escolha foi a Ilha de São Miguel, nos Açores. Há muito que queria conhecer este cantinho de Portugal onde encontrei um pequeno grande paraíso... É verdade, para quem gosta da natureza, como eu, a sensação é a de chegar a casa... Muito verde, muito azul, muita água, muitas flores, muito silêncio, muita simpatia, boa temperatura e óptima comida... E tudo isto é pouco para descrever o quanto gostei dos dias que lá passei! Foram tantas as fotografias, que o difícil é escolher para partilhar...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Oh Summer, Summer... It's been awhile since we returned home from holidays, but high temperatures and some laziness only now allowed me to didicate some time to this space... This year, we choosed to visit the portuguese São Miguel island, one of the nine from Azores archipelago. I've been wanting to go there for a long time and there I found a little big paradise... For someone like me, a nature lover, the feeling is like arriving home... A lot of green, a lot of blue, a lot of water, a lot of flowers, a lot of silence, many nice people, great weather and delicious food...And all of these words are not enough to describe how much I enjoyed the days we stayed there! I took so many pictures that it's hard to choose a few to share...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506809276401344066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/TGwd3E26XkI/AAAAAAAABL0/8F7_Xaz8E-0/s320/IMG_0375.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506808712194049714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/TGwdWPBaRrI/AAAAAAAABLs/i4VN7znxtKw/s320/IMG_0348.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Vista sobre a acolhedora localidade onde nos hospedámos, Vila Franca do Campo, com o seu ilhéu ao fundo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;View over the welcoming town where our hotel was, Vila Franca do Campo, with it's islander.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509675349053281234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/THZMidgME9I/AAAAAAAABOM/PKdOzGfVYz4/s320/IMG_0286.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506806983412248882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/TGwbxmztcTI/AAAAAAAABLM/7RX77ZOkftc/s320/IMG_0285.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nas Furnas, um local mágico, em nenhum momento nos abstraímos do poder telúrico, pois aqui cada fumarola ou fonte de água (férrea, gaseificada, quente...) evoca em nós a origem vulcânica da ilha.

Uma vez mais, uma pesquisa rápida na net sobre voos directos a partir de Faro, um preço interessante e pronto! Oslo, na Noruega! Lá fomos nós... Quatro dias excepcionais para desanuviar do trabalho... Encontrámos uma cidade a vibrar com o bom tempo excepcional que fazia... Temperaturas amenas de Primavera e céu azul, o que, para os nórdicos, é motivo mais do que suficiente para celebrar a vida após um longo e gelado Inverno. Por todo o lado havia gente estendida a apanhar sol nos muitos jardins relvados que a ampla cidade oferece. Sim , em plena cidade, fatos de banho e todo o equipamento para piquenique! Toda esta celebração e homenagem ao sol fez-me perceber que nós, uns afortunados do bom tempo, nunca usufruimos o suficiente desse privilégio... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Last week-end was a long one and, as usual, on the day before, we decided going away... Once again, a quick search on internet about direct flights from the near airport with a nice price and that's it! Oslo, in Norway! There we went... Four wonderful days to relax from work... We found a thrilled city with the exceptional good weather... Spring temperatures and beautiful blue sky... Those elements, for nordic people are more than enough to celebrate life after a long frozen winter. Everywhere there was people standing in the sun, laying in the many green gardens all over the city. Yes, they were wearing bathing-suits and having picnics in city center!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;No primeiro dia, deambulámos pela cidade a usufruir de todo esse espectáculo e a observar os hábitos noruegueses...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;On the first day we walked by the city admiring everything and observing Norwegian habits...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481105068537976498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/TBDMBQrMlrI/AAAAAAAABG8/yuhFAtP1H84/s320/DSC06077.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481105281115241090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/TBDMNolkOoI/AAAAAAAABHE/xxdhCdKUGmM/s320/DSC06090.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No segundo dia, pela manhã, visitámos o imponente parque Vigeland, que deve o seu nome ao escultor que concebeu as 212 magníficas esculturas que representam a humanidade sob todas as suas formas.

Até a nós nos apeteceu comprar um grelhador descartável e umas salsichas e abancar por ali... mas o tempo era pouco para ver tudo o que queríamos ver... A sorte é que à meia noite ainda havia luz natural... Não fora o cansaço...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In the afternoon we went for a boat trip by the Oslo Fjord, stopping in the little Hovedoya island, where the picnic scenes were in every corner by the water... We even felt like buying a barbecue set and some sausages to stay there awhile... but we hadn't much time to see all we wanted to see... The good thing was that by mid-night we still had natural light...

Este foi o cenário da demonstração, onde uma simpática senhora gentilmente me explicou as diferentes técnicas:&lt;/div&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;One of the best experiences while there was the opportunity to see how the ornaments from the traditional Norwegian clothes are made according to ancient techniques.

Apesar de não ter fotografado os quadros, não resisti à sua definição de arte: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;On the last day we went to the Munch Museum, that lodges the biggest collection from Eduard Munch work, the most knowned Norwegian visual artist . It's an impressing work, revealing the aritst personal experiences and  it's deep existential anguish. Although I didn't take  pictures from the  paintings, I couldn't resist to this art definition:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481105745663316162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/TBDMorKdUMI/AAAAAAAABHc/F9HoSLiRDq8/s320/DSC06305.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Por volta do almoço, apanhámos um autocarro em direcção a Drobak, uma encantadora aldeia a Sul de Oslo, que me fez lembrar os contos de fadas... Ruas estreitas, casas cheias de detalhes e pequenos jardins floridos...&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;By the lunch time, we took a bus to Drobak, a charming little town south from Oslo, which remind me of fairy tales...

Felizmente, hoje é feriado nacional e estamos a recarregar baterias... Ficou o desejo de regressar com mais tempo, para visitar outras partes da Noruega e percorrer paisagens repletas de verde... Talvez um dia...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;About "special" purchases, I visited a lovely patchwork shop but bought nothing, the prices were exorbitant for the portuguese wallet...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Returning home, we barely had time to rush in work madness...

Put it in a drawer and forgot it... A few days ago, while searching for something else (that I haven't found yet, as usual...), there it was! Immediately I decided what to make with him... A book pouch, as I usually carry one wherever I go! Quick measurements, fabric choise done and set my hands to work! Here is the final product!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477855935299570546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/TAVA80JLy3I/AAAAAAAABFs/HsF4eoQFKzA/s320/DSC06059.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Por graça, apliquei no interior umas iniciais do meu nome, que trouxe da &lt;a href="http://floresascores.blogspot.com/2010/02/paris-l-aiguille-en-fete.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Aiguille en Fête&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, em Fevereiro.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Just for fun, inside I stitched my name initials, using a ribbon bought last February at &lt;a href="http://floresascores.blogspot.com/2010/02/paris-l-aiguille-en-fete.html"&gt;Aiguille en Fête&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477867832290749602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/TAVLxT46rKI/AAAAAAAABGM/1l6ZM1eUyOA/s320/DSC06056.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Já está ao serviço!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I'm already using it!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3886519072498228824-6534405376364032931?l=floresascores.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://floresascores.blogspot.com/feeds/6534405376364032931/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3886519072498228824&amp;postID=6534405376364032931' title='2 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3886519072498228824/posts/default/6534405376364032931'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3886519072498228824/posts/default/6534405376364032931'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://floresascores.blogspot.com/2010/06/para-os-livros-for-books.html' title='Para os Livros... / For the Books...'/><author><name>SG</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02463139913177076002</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/TAVAubZv0KI/AAAAAAAABFk/YkLG5P0aQEM/s72-c/DSC06049.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886519072498228824.post-3975899321069670469</id><published>2010-05-11T18:48:00.009+01:00</published><updated>2010-06-10T17:19:12.501+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Patchwork; Quilting'/><title type='text'>Experimentando... / Experimenting...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/S-mYpDEKHbI/AAAAAAAABE8/jxJb8GUFMpc/s1600/DSC06033.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470071053382983090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/S-mYpDEKHbI/AAAAAAAABE8/jxJb8GUFMpc/s320/DSC06033.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Há muito que andava com vontade de experimentar duas técnicas, mas a falta de expriência tornava-as um pouco intimidantes... &lt;em&gt;Paper piecing&lt;/em&gt; à máquina e costuras em círculo...Um destes dias encontrei &lt;a href="http://www.bryerpatch.com/"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt; o modelo em que podia pôr ambas em prática e, rodeada de pequenos retalhos, pus mão à obra... O bloco, constituído por quatro unidades, lá se foi compondo e o resultado final, embora com muitas imperfeições, não me desagrada... Chama-se &lt;em&gt;Flying Geese in a Quarter Circle&lt;/em&gt;. Só não sei o que farei com ele... Que deu luta, lá isso deu! Gostei, especialmente do paper piecing e parece-me que esta não foi uma experiência isolada... Veremos...&lt;br /&gt;Antes de costurar as unidades, ainda brinquei um pouco, para ver as hipóteses que o bloco oferece...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I've been wanting to try a few techniques that seemed a little challenging... Machine paper piecing and circular seams... One of these days I found &lt;a href="http://www.bryerpatch.com/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; the ideal pattern to try them both and, surrounded by little scraps, I started working... Unit by unit, the final block was done and, despite the imperfections, I like it... It's the Flying Geese in a Quarter Circle. Just don't know what I will make with him... Some steps were not easy and, above all, I liked the paper piecing... I will certainly give it another try... We will see...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Before sewing the four units, I played a little, just to see the possibilities... &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470077881048473218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/S-me2eGdnoI/AAAAAAAABFU/E6F6rjDFPVo/s320/DSC06035.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470077712683089714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/S-mesq5BvzI/AAAAAAAABFM/_JEDNC3tdnY/s320/DSC06034.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470071367338778946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/S-mY7UpDYUI/AAAAAAAABFE/tJcVK3Zdl9Q/s320/DSC06043.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cá está ele!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Here it is!&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3886519072498228824-3975899321069670469?l=floresascores.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://floresascores.blogspot.com/feeds/3975899321069670469/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3886519072498228824&amp;postID=3975899321069670469' title='10 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3886519072498228824/posts/default/3975899321069670469'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3886519072498228824/posts/default/3975899321069670469'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://floresascores.blogspot.com/2010/05/experimentando-experimenting.html' title='Experimentando... / Experimenting...'/><author><name>SG</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02463139913177076002</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/S-mYpDEKHbI/AAAAAAAABE8/jxJb8GUFMpc/s72-c/DSC06033.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886519072498228824.post-6125533806835241992</id><published>2010-05-05T17:50:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-05-05T17:50:44.082+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bordados / Stitchery'/><title type='text'>A Gift...</title><content type='html'>&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467075841055126738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/S970gvo19NI/AAAAAAAABEs/OM8v4mVklPw/s320/DSC06015.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Para uma pessoa muito especial, a minha mãe...

Desta vez, também sem grandes planos, metemo-nos no carro, atravessámos a Espanha e rumámos ao sul de França... A única coisa previamente decidida foi que não queríamos nada do rebuliço das grandes cidades... Passeámos pelos campos provençais e procurámos pequenas aldeias e vilas repletas de charme e sossego...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;As usual, whenever work gives us a few days off, our thoughts fly to one word: "travelling". This time, again without previous planning, we took the car, crossed Spain and went to the south of France... The unique agreement was "no noisy big cities"... We walked around the provençal fields and looked for little charming and quiet villages and towns...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Na Provence, encontrámos &lt;strong&gt;La Roque sur Cèze&lt;/strong&gt;, onde o tempo parece ter parado, os carros não circulam, as ruas, em pedra, são todas a subir e a descer e o silêncio se faz ouvir...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In Provence, we found &lt;strong&gt;La Roque sur Cèze&lt;/strong&gt;, where time seems to have stoped, cars aren't allowed and we can hear the silence...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458632499652844754" style="DISPLAY: block;

O trabalho tem sido intenso e só agora, finalmente, se avizinham uns dias de descanso! Neste período, aconteceu uma troca especial com a &lt;a href="http://www.kathyssitandstitch.blogspot.com/"&gt;Kathy&lt;/a&gt;, que não conheço pessoalmente mas  que, graças ao mundo dos blogs, se tornou uma amiga também ela especial. Além de ser uma pessoa muito generosa, é uma crafter talentosa, que se dedica aos bordados e ao patchwork. A minha casa chegaram, das suas mãos, muitos miminhos:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;It's been almost a month since my last post.... Work has been crazy and only now, finally, a few rest days are arriving! Meanwhile, a special exchange has happened whith &lt;a href="http://www.kathyssitandstitch.blogspot.com/"&gt;Kathy&lt;/a&gt;. She is someone I never met in person but, thanks to blogland became a dear and special friend. Besides being a very generous person, she is also a talented stitcher and quilter. To my house arrived, from her hands, lots of goodies:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454760126565170130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/S7Mzbz7hu9I/AAAAAAAAA8s/4PLDWkbsyyk/s320/DSC05533.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Quatro magníficos individuais bordados, tecido, linhas e esquemas do mesmo tipo de bordado, uma bolsinha feita com um tecido muito bonito, uma caixinha para guardar fios em viagem, uma tesoura com um "fob" de contas e um amoroso fio com um coração azul de vidro fundido. Adorei cada pequeno detalhe! Embra já lhe tenha agradecido, impõe-se um novo "Obrigada!".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Four gorgeous embroidered placemats, stitching fabric, thread and patterns, a zippered bag made with lovely fabric, a thread catcher, a beautiful scissors with beaded fob and an adorable blue heart necklace. Loved every detail! Although I already thanked her, a new "Thank you!" is in order!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454760579885164338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/S7Mz2Mrb5zI/AAAAAAAAA88/Ry-CFhchp-Q/s320/DSC05541.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/S7MzLQ0aoJI/AAAAAAAAA8c/6ebIojUQoYs/s1600/DSC05510.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mostro-vos um pequeno detalhe de cada individual, delicadamente bordado em ponto sueco, que eu não conhecia. Agora tenho que arranjar um tempinho para usar os materiais que a Kathy me enviou e experimentar esta técnica!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Here is a little detail from each placemat, skilfully embroidered in swedish weaving (or huck embroidery), which I didn't knew.

Depois de muito ter lido sobre as edições anteriores, a curiosidade era grande e devo dizer que as expectativas criadas foram largamente ultrapassadas! Tanta novidade! Pelo menos para mim! Bordados, patchwork, crochet, tricot... Uma loucura!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;One of the days in Paris was spent in the big festival L'Aiguille en Fête! After reading a lot about previous editions, I was very curious and I must say it exceeded largely the expectations! So many novelties, at least to me! Embroidery, patchwork, crochet, kniting... Craziness!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;A lã ganhou protagonismo no Atrium... Peças concretizadas com agulhas gigantescas...&lt;/div&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Wool was the Atrium protagonist...

E quando refiro que foi inesperado é porque foi mesmo! Ocasionalmente visito o seu blog, mas não mantivemos um contacto regular, por isso me surpreendeu tanto...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Além de um postal espectacular, que reproduz um quilt com relevo, enviou-me um conjunto dos belíssimos tecidos da colecção Rouenneries by French General, da Moda. Já os tinha apreciado em alguns blogs, mas ao vivo acho-os ainda mais bonitos! Terei, alguma vez, coragem para cortá-los?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Nem sei descrever a emoção que senti ao ver que alguém que nunca conheci pessoalmente se lembrou de me desejar um bom ano de forma tão generosa... Este mundo dos blogs é muito especial! Apesar de já lhe ter enviado um mail a agradecer, tenho que fazê-lo aqui: OBRIGADA Carole! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This week I received, unexpectedly, a wonderful surprise from &lt;a href="http://carole-quiltingadventures.blogspot.com/"&gt;Carole&lt;/a&gt;, one of my partners in 2008 SSCS! And when I say it was unexpected it's because it really was! Occasionally I visit her blog, but we haven't kept a regular contact, that's why I was so surprised...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In addition to a lovely post-card with a quilt reproduction, she sent a bundle of gorgeous fabrics from Rouenneries by Frensh General, from Moda. I had seen them in some blogs, but they are even prettier alive!

Enfim, não tenho sido uma boa "&lt;em&gt;blogueira&lt;/em&gt;" nem uma &lt;em&gt;crafter&lt;/em&gt; assídua... O pouco que tenho feito destinou-se à minha segunda participação no Intercâmbio &lt;a href="http://chookyblue.blogspot.com/"&gt;SSCS  09&lt;/a&gt;. Desta vez, além do presente para abrir na noite de Natal, as participantes deviam confeccionar um enfeite para colocar na árvore de Natal, por isso é a única coisa que podemos mostar antes do dia de Natal... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Time flies, I've been busily engaged in work and that turns me in a bad blogger and absent crafter... The only things made were destined to my second round at &lt;a href="http://chookyblue.blogspot.com/"&gt;SSCS 09&lt;/a&gt;. This time, besides the main gift for Christmas day, we were asked to make an ornament for the Christmas tree, so that's the only thing we can show for now...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Assim, para a &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.willowberrydesigns.typepad.com"&gt;Austrália&lt;/a&gt; enviei esta árvore, que confeccionei em feltro e decorei com missangas e lantejoulas prateadas:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;So, to &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.willowberrydesigns.typepad.com"&gt;Australia&lt;/a&gt; I sent this felt tree, decorated with some silver beads:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414794249127511714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SyU2rkcSxqI/AAAAAAAAAy0/PXdrQQSS3H0/s320/DSC05051.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Da Austrália recebi estes delicados anjos, que irão parar à minha árvore de Natal quando arranjar tempo para montá-la... Sim, é verdade, ainda não fiz as decorações de Natal... Em breve... Obrigada &lt;a href="http://tagalongteddies.blogspot.com/"&gt;Kris&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;From Australia arrived two gorgeous angels, and they will be in my Christmas tree as soon as can find time to put the Christmas decorations around the house... It's true, I haven't done that yet... Soon... Thanks &lt;a href="http://tagalongteddies.blogspot.com/"&gt;Kris&lt;/a&gt;, I love them!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414793944076034146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SyU2Z0CWoGI/AAAAAAAAAys/-6_sVAbCKvQ/s320/DSC05067.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;E também da Austrália recebi este prémio, "The Splash award", o qual passo a todos os que me visitam (como pedido de desculpa pelo meu absentismo)!

Há muito que o trabalho não me deixa vir aqui... E se o tempo para o blog não é muito, o mesmo será dizer que ele também não tem sobrado para me dedicar àquilo que gosto de fazer... Há mais de um mês que os pequenos momentos livres têm sido aproveitados para este projecto... Duas almofadas em que conjugo crochet com bordado (ponto grilhão)... Ainda vêm a tempo de ser usadas, pois este invulgar Outono tem-nos oferecido temperaturas de Verão... Já estão num dos meus cantos preferidos, a alegrar o espaço... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Where does time go? It's been a long time without blogging, but, unfortunately, work comes first... So, not much crafting going on... The few spare minutes from last month have been devoted to this project... Two cushions for the porch chairs, where I used crochet and embroidery ("grilhão" stitch)... They were finished just on time to be used, thanks to the warm Autumn we've been having... They're already in my favorite corner... &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399546614085902210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/Su8LCZjA34I/AAAAAAAAAyk/pGQjgNA2AEo/s320/DSC04330.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399544591699783778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/Su8JMrklsGI/AAAAAAAAAyM/Im2uuKJIyIY/s320/DSC04325.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399545006805509362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/Su8Jk19gZPI/AAAAAAAAAyU/8YPnFEY4n-8/s320/DSC04323.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Flores para o meu jardim...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt; &lt;em&gt;Flowers for my garden...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3886519072498228824-1064109221891853550?l=floresascores.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://floresascores.blogspot.com/feeds/1064109221891853550/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3886519072498228824&amp;postID=1064109221891853550' title='7 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3886519072498228824/posts/default/1064109221891853550'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3886519072498228824/posts/default/1064109221891853550'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://floresascores.blogspot.com/2009/11/flores-para-o-meu-jardim-flowers-for-my.html' title='Flores para o meu jardim! / Flowers for my garden!'/><author><name>SG</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02463139913177076002</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/Su8KUfV4mJI/AAAAAAAAAyc/0y_aK-We7EU/s72-c/DSC04340.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886519072498228824.post-5572874264922956468</id><published>2009-09-28T15:57:00.007+01:00</published><updated>2009-09-28T16:37:13.703+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Patchwork; Quilting'/><title type='text'>Coin Quilt</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SsDRWEfqzQI/AAAAAAAAAx8/Ty6UUUSs0DY/s1600-h/DSC03278.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386535331429010690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SsDRWEfqzQI/AAAAAAAAAx8/Ty6UUUSs0DY/s320/DSC03278.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;O.K. Eu confesso! Sou viciada em "Charms"! É verdade... Adoro estes quadradinhos por várias razões: permitem-nos usar todos os tecidos de uma colecção; são óptimos para quem não tem um grande "stash" e gosta de diversificar; por último, são muito versáteis e já estão cortados, o que facilita o trabalho! &lt;div align="justify"&gt;Desta vez, usei três pacotinhos da coleccção"Pack Your Bags", da Moda, para fazer um Coin Quilt. Quanto ao tecido branco, usei um algodão de fabrico nacional. Uma vez mais, recorri aos óptimos tutoriais que encontramos por aí! Obrigada a todas as professoras virtuais!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;O.K. I confess! I'm "Charm" addicted! It's true... I love these little squares for several reasons: they allow us to use the complete fabric collection; they are great for someone that doesn't have a big stash and like to diversify; lastly, they are very versatile and are precuts, and that makes it easy to work!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This time, I used three packs from "Pack Your Bags", by Moda, to make a Coin Quilt. The white fabric is a national cotton. Once again, the great tutorials from blogland were a big help!

"Disappearing nine patch" é uma técnica fácil e rápida de executar, óptima para quem não tem muita experiência, como é o meu caso. Desta feita usei três pacotinhos &lt;em&gt;Moda&lt;/em&gt;, da colecção &lt;em&gt;Sorbet&lt;/em&gt;. O tecido branco é &lt;em&gt;Kona Cotton&lt;/em&gt; e para o viés usei um tecido de algodão comprado localmente. Acolchoei as molduras brancas com linhas direitas e fiz quadrados dentro dos blocos coloridos. Gostei do resultado final e tive que levá-lo a um jardim público para a sessão fotográfica. Como sempre, tirei muiiiitas fotos e, como não consigo escolher só uma, mostro-vos algumas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Once again, with charms and following the great tutorials I found on several blogs. Disappearing nine patch is an easy and fast technique for someone who, like me, doesn't have much experience. This time I used three packs from Sorbet, by Moda, and the withe fabric is Kona Cotton. For the binding I used a cotton fabric bought locally. I quilted it with straight lines on the white sashing and squares inside the squared blocks. I love the final result and had to take it to a public garden to make the photo session. As usual, I took toooo many photos and can't choose one, so I have to show you some of them.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369840055109828498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SoWBFFl8P5I/AAAAAAAAAuY/dzkTlO49cFk/s320/DSC04257.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369842056592643650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SoWC5lsoVkI/AAAAAAAAAuo/rjsYSuSlngs/s320/DSC04280.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369841158214311250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SoWCFS-i3VI/AAAAAAAAAug/w0if00GhqNg/s320/DSC04275.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como me sobrariam apenas três quadradinhos, guardei os meus preferidos para lhes dar destaque na parte de trás.

Morando no Sul de Portugal, onde as temperaturas de Agosto são elevadas e todos os cantos estão repletos de turistas, apeteceu-nos fugir para Norte, para temperaturas mais amenas e sítios mais calmos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Como noutros países do Norte da Europa, na Dinamarca encontrámos muita organização e simpatia. Adorei a harmonia arquitectónica, que ainda não se deixou corromper por tendências modernistas, e conhecer pessoas que ostentam um grande orgulho por morarem em pequenas casas de campo centenárias. Como não podia deixar de ser, as bicicletas estão por todo o lado!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Den&lt;em&gt;mark was the chosen place to visit this Summer. We live in the south of Portugal, where August is very hot and all corners are filled with tourists, so we run away to North, where we can find softer temperatures and quiet places.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;As in other northern european countries, Denmark is very organized. I loved the architectonic harmony and the fact that they are very proud of maintaining old features and living in ancient little country houses. As usual, bycicles are everywhere!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Definimos previamente as cidades onde dormimos e, a partir daí, visitámos vilas, aldeias, parques e jardins nas proximidades. Iniciámos o nosso percurso em Copenhaga, onde percorremos ruas e ruas, fizemos um agradável passeio de barco, um excelente piquenique no parque do imponente castelo Rosenborg e jantámos no Tivoli, um parque de diversões, com jardim e restaurantes temáticos no centro da cidade.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Previously, we decided the cities where we would sleep and, from there, we visited small towns, parks and gardens in the surrounding area. We began hour journey in Copenhagen, where we walked streets and streets, made a pleasant cruise, an excellent picnic at the Rosenborg castle park and had dinner at the Tivoli, a diversion park with gardens and thematic restaurants.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375342228532549730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SpkNRu3W2GI/AAAAAAAAAvw/FL-FZ8E3r_w/s320/DSC04424.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375342742082474482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SpkNvn_M0fI/AAAAAAAAAv4/x04pngFGD-k/s320/DSC04403.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375343758024076882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SpkOqwqjblI/AAAAAAAAAwA/6BIF2MwSRyw/s320/DSC04490.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Seguimos para Viborg, uma pequena e acolhedora cidade.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;We headed to Viborg, a little and pleasant town.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375347526476573490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SpkSGHPpKzI/AAAAAAAAAwY/eA5KZ27BGzs/s320/DSC04615.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Birkegardens Haver, um jardim para ver com tempo....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Birkegardens Haver, a garden to visit with time...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375346362303121602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SpkRCWXECMI/AAAAAAAAAwQ/jQcGiYkCXBA/s320/DSC04543.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Passámos um dia excelente a visitar o impressionante castelo de Egescov, onde inesperadamente encontrei dois belos exemplares de quilts antigos a decorar os espaços.

Aqui estão eles... Porque os considero tesouros? Além de praticamente já não se encontrarem no mercado, são rendas, fitas, gregas, linhas, botões, todos &lt;em&gt;made in Portugal&lt;/em&gt; e quase todos nas suas embalagens originais... Com a veia de coleccionadora que tenho e com o respeito que consagro às coisas antigas que antes por cá se produziam, dificilmente vou utilizar alguma destas peças, penso que permanecerão na caixa dos tesouros de outrora...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I promised &lt;a href="http://floresascores.blogspot.com/2009/05/arrumacao-storage.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; to show you some pictures of the treasures I brought home from the old haberdashery that closed in a town near by... Here they are... Why are they treasures to me? Adding to the fact that we almost can't find them for sale, they are laces, thread, buttons, all made in Portugal many years ago and almost all of them in the original package... With my collector's vein and the big respect I have for everything we used to produce in my country, hardly I will use them, instead I think they will be safely kept in my formerly stuff box...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361685235739304546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SmiIUIGyomI/AAAAAAAAAtM/2vO46z5c3ZM/s320/DSC03833.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361687536398175906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SmiKaCunDqI/AAAAAAAAAtc/QjTJ8LkqWjM/s320/DSC03823.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361686894253882498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SmiJ0qjevII/AAAAAAAAAtU/MgVpFwZZXDE/s320/DSC03840.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361687956436902818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SmiKyffpY6I/AAAAAAAAAtk/COmm18-_Yvk/s320/DSC03822.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estas rendas são as minhas preferidas.

After using the charms back card to make a template, it was time to cut, cut, and sew, to end up with a lot of this...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361678289480782546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SmiB_zRtEtI/AAAAAAAAAs0/hbXObfYxl4Q/s320/DSC03817.JPG" border="0" /&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt; Este foi o resultado final... &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is the final result...&lt;/em&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361679317190563074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SmiC7nyz1QI/AAAAAAAAAs8/aTPiHj6s-wc/s320/DSC04246.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Não estou plenamente satisfeita com o esquema cromático, mas já o coloquei no meu canto de leitura preferido...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I'm not crazy about the colours, but it's already on my favourite reading corner...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361679741568280786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SmiDUUuV6NI/AAAAAAAAAtE/8LfTdEyenJ0/s320/DSC04232.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3886519072498228824-3786350902897770904?l=floresascores.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://floresascores.blogspot.com/feeds/3786350902897770904/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3886519072498228824&amp;postID=3786350902897770904' title='4 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3886519072498228824/posts/default/3786350902897770904'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3886519072498228824/posts/default/3786350902897770904'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://floresascores.blogspot.com/2009/08/whirlygiggle-quilt.html' title='Whirlygiggle Quilt'/><author><name>SG</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02463139913177076002</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SmiBODHTtRI/AAAAAAAAAss/xf1k4IziUao/s72-c/DSC03766.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886519072498228824.post-7708718585400921575</id><published>2009-07-23T15:52:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2009-07-23T16:19:49.264+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Patchwork; Quilting'/><title type='text'>Workshop</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/Smh50l0UOlI/AAAAAAAAAsc/ZGfdS1k7g3w/s1600-h/DSC04239.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361669300796275282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/Smh50l0UOlI/AAAAAAAAAsc/ZGfdS1k7g3w/s320/DSC04239.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Para celebrar o início das férias, inscrevi-me num workshop de patchwork e este foi o resultado do dia: um caminho de mesa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;To celebrate Summer break, I signed up for a patchwork workshop and this is my finished project for the day: a tablerunner.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;A minha mãe, que ultimamente me vê às voltas e entusiasmada com os trapitos, também já anda muito interessada na matéria, por isso não foi nada difícil convencê-la a acompanhar-me.

E descanso, para nós, é sinónimo de passeio! Desta vez, também sem grande planificação prévia, rumámos ao Norte... até ao Porto... Como sempre, fomos bem recebidos, comemos bem e divertimo-nos a fazer turismo cá dentro. O que estranho, sempre que vou ao Norte de Portugal, é a pronúncia e algum vocabulário que vou ouvindo pela rua... É que, apesar de sermos um país pequenino, a diversidade liguística é rica! E tenho a certeza que o estranhamento é mútuo, já que a pronúncia do Sul também tem a sua graça!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Last weekend was a long one and, after several stressing work weeks, that didn't even allow me to take care of this blog, we took a much needed pause. And for us, that means travelling! This time, and once again without previous planning, we went North... to visit the O' Porto city... As usual, we were well received, the food was great and we had a lot of fun. The thing I found odd is the pronunciation way and some vocabulary north people use... Despite being a little country, Portugal has a big and rich linguistic variety! And I'm certain that when north folks visit the south, they feel the same!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;O Porto tem um encanto especial, com as inúmeras pontes que atravessam o Douro e a sua zona ribeirinha é única! Além de deambularmos pela cidade, desta vez visitámos Serralves, a moderna Casa da Música e, como bons turistas, fomos de barco, Douro acima, até à Régua, num passeio repleto de verde.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;O' Porto has a special charm, with it's several bridges crossing Douro river and a unic riverine area. Besides walking through the city, this time we visited Serralves, the modern Music House and, has good tourists, we went on a river cruise by the Douro.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348339842365860290" style="DISPLAY: block;

Arrumação; Colecções/Collections'/><title type='text'>Arrumação / Storage</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Há uns tempos, infelizmente, mais uma antiga retrosaria aqui da zona fechou as suas portas... Numa das últimas visitas, lembrei-me de perguntar se, além do recheio, também vendiam os móveis. Com alguma tristeza por parte de quem me respondeu, ouvi "Claro, vende-se tudo..." Então entrei em negociações com o dono e trouxe para casa dois daqueles móveis de linhas de bordar e, como bónus, um antigo metro em madeira. O estado geral dos móveis acusava muito uso, mas, sempre de olho na reciclagem e inspirada por algo semelhante feito &lt;a href="http://mercedesinspain.blogspot.com/"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt;, meti mãos à obra! Com um mínimo de material extra (um rolo de papel de parede - para o exterior, cola específica, uma lata de tinta branca - para o interior, fita cola com dupla face e quatro rodinhas) andei entretida durante algum tempo... O marido também deu uma ajudinha!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Some time ago, unfortunately, one more old haberdasher's from the neighbourhood closed doors... In one of my last visits to the shop, I asked if they were also selling the furniture. They certainly did... So, I negociated the purchase of two threads storage cupboards, and as an extra, an old wood metter. The general condition of the furniture was the reflex of much use, but, with an eye on re-cycling and inspired by something I saw &lt;a href="http://mercedesinspain.blogspot.com/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, I started working. I bought some extra material (wall-paper and proper glue for the exterior, white paint for the interior, double face self-adhesive tape and four little wheels) and have ben playing for a while... Husbund also gave me a little hand!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339352735179362386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/ShkxBgbgUFI/AAAAAAAAApw/131qjJMKmkg/s320/DSC02364.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339353668204934114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/Shkx30OIs-I/AAAAAAAAAp4/7ATdBvD8BQU/s320/DSC03811.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Finalmente acabei... Agora já se encontram num cantinho cá de casa, onde faço as minhas experiências com linhas e agulhas. Estão sobrepostos, constituem um único móvel, e as rodinhas facilitam muito sempre que preciso de movê-lo. Acabaram-se as inúmeras caixas e caixinhas onde tinha as coisas guardadas e, sempre que precisava delas, não sabia onde estavam. Cada gaveta contém a respectiva legenda e tenho tudo sempre à mão. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Finally, it's finished... and it's in one corner from my home, where I do my experiences with needles and thread. They form one unit and the wheels make it easy to move from one place to another. The several little boxes where I kept the stuff are now out of the way, and everything is labeled drawers. Finding something takes only seconds!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339357027023428162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/Shk07Uy3mkI/AAAAAAAAAqY/ouWNoM2ojhs/s320/DSC03783.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339355653803237890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/ShkzrZJqYgI/AAAAAAAAAqI/qQaczCUlY7c/s320/DSC03791.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339355100722265826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/ShkzLMw4fuI/AAAAAAAAAqA/tu9yBhB7ff4/s320/DSC03807.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Até a minha pequena colecção de rendas, fitas e galões encontrou um lugar próprio.

É que ela organizou um intercâmbio de Natal, em Dezembro do ano passado, no qual participei. Como não cheguei a receber o que me enviou a minha parceira, a Sandra, com muito profissionalismo e dedicação, não quis que eu ficasse sem nada e enviou-se um magnífico pequeno quadro com a inicial do meu nome e um perfumado coração. Adorei as lembranças e o carinho que ela colocou em cada uma das peças! Obrigada Sandra! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;From Argentina arrived these goodies, sent by &lt;a href="http://elatelierdesandra.blogspot.com/"&gt;Sandra&lt;/a&gt;. She organized a Christmas swap last December, and I joined it. Unfortunately, I didn't received what my partner sent me, so Sandra, very professionally and with affection, sent me a wonderful painting with my initial and a beautiful scented heart. I loved everything and I can tell that it was made with love. Thank you Sandra!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334633362060229698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/Sghsx1iMPEI/AAAAAAAAApo/fF9WKdpQIy0/s320/DSC02714.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Felizmente, o que enviei à minha parceira &lt;a href="http://www.tejeamira.blogspot.com/"&gt;Amira&lt;/a&gt; não se perdeu e isto foi o que ela recebeu nesse intercâmbio.

A &lt;a href="http://mousechirpy-polkadotpineapple.blogspot.com/"&gt;Arlette&lt;/a&gt; colocou recentemente um giveaway no seu blog e eu fui uma das cinco felizes premiadas... Nem queria acreditar, pois visito-a frequentemente e fico sempre impressionada com a sua criaividade e talento. Ao abrir o envelope esperava encontrar uma das bolsas sorteadas, mas, para minha surpresa, ela vinha cheia de outros mimos! Chocolates, uma bonita bolsinha para jóias e dois dos seus originais chupa-chupas! Nem imaginam a minha reacção! Fiquei deliciada! Obrigada Arlette!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;From Hawaii, I also received something especial! &lt;a href="http://mousechirpy-polkadotpineapple.blogspot.com/"&gt;Arlette&lt;/a&gt; had recently a giveaway on her blog and I was one of the five lucky winners... I couldn't believe it! I usually visit her blog and I'm always impressed with her talent. When I opened the envelope, I was expecting one of the bags she was giving away, but, unexpectedly, the gorgeous bag was filled with other goodies! Chocolates, a little jewellery bag and two of her delicious lollipops! You can't even imagine my reaction! I was thrilled! Thank you Arlette!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Foi, ou não, Natal em Maio?

Que aproveitámos uns dias de férias e fomos dar uma volta... Como sempre, nada de grandes planos, tudo em cima da hora... Uma pesquisa rápida na net sobre voos e pronto! Decidimos revisitar a Holanda e, a partir de lá, dar um salto até à Bélgica. No aeroporto de Amsterdão, alugámos um carrito e lá fomos nós...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;After two weeks of no bloging, what do I have to tell? Well, we took a few days off and went to Holand and Belgium. As usual, we didn't make big plans... Everything was decided in a moment... A quick search for flights in the net and done!

Um grande mercado de rua inteiramente dedicado aos tecidos. Sim, tecidos! Já se imagina... uma perdição... Ainda por cima encontrei lá muitos dos tecidos tradicionais que me deliciam em alguns dos blogs holandeses que visito... Bem, lá ficaram uns "euritos", que uma pessoa não é de ferro... E dos mercados de flores? Sem palavras...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In Utrecht, in addition to a lovely city, I found something that I never saw before... A big street market entirely devoted to fabrics. Yes, fabrics! You can imagine... a temptation... They even had the lovely traditional fabrics that I've been admiring in some dutch blogs that I usually visit... Well, I couldn't resist and left there some euros... And about the flower markets? No words to describe them...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323730868544943714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SeGxBMNnNmI/AAAAAAAAAmo/0WhaBtFY52U/s320/DSC03309.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323731579261613522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SeGxqj1q9dI/AAAAAAAAAmw/GERPkShe-4E/s320/DSC03301.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323732556435501058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SeGyjcGFMAI/AAAAAAAAAm4/pN5XX7LhV-o/s320/DSC03302.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323733516959753410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SeGzbWU6JMI/AAAAAAAAAnA/f2W3ue9Jq70/s320/DSC03325.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em Muiden encontrámos o centenário e imponente castelo Muiderslot. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;In Muiden, we found the centenary and imponent castle Muiderslot.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323734532896682402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SeG0We_JcaI/AAAAAAAAAnI/E4TYtIWRymY/s320/DSC03333.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Demorámo-nos em Marken, uma pequena ilha que foi, durante séculos, uma comunidade piscatória e hoje encontra-se tão bem preservada que parece cenário de um conto de fadas...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;We spent some time in Marken, an little island that, for centuries, was a piscatory village and today is so well preserved that looks a scenery from a fairy tale...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323735631502407026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SeG1WbnKdXI/AAAAAAAAAnQ/XkbI6JaD28Y/s320/DSC03359.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em Volendam demos um agradável passeio pelo belo porto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;In Volendam we had a nice walk through the beautiful harbour.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323736745941969314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SeG2XTOQqaI/AAAAAAAAAnY/LujciHQiTl0/s320/DSC03375.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;No incontornável Keukenhof passámos uma óptima tarde.

My mother! I already delivered it and she loved it!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315761088953417794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/ScVgi9npgEI/AAAAAAAAAjw/3IikkaqF3qM/s320/DSC03179.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315759543521942882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/ScVfJAcEnWI/AAAAAAAAAjg/SAZYpPR9TlI/s320/DSC03168.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Tecidos 100% Moda! Como utilizei dois pacotes de charms e sobravam os quadradinhos suficientes, aproveitei para fazer da parte de trás uma segunda face... Gosto de ambas... Para acolchoar, utilizei &lt;a href="http://floresascores.blogspot.com/2009/02/walking-foot.html"&gt;um dos brinquedos que a Kathy me enviou&lt;/a&gt;, o que facilitou muito esse processo... Adoro o resultado final e, sobretudo, as cores desta colecção de tecidos, identifico-as com a Primavera, a quem dou as  boas vindas!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;100% Moda fabrics! As I used two packs of charms and there were enough remaining squares, I did a second face at the back... I like them both... For the quilting, I used &lt;a href="http://floresascores.blogspot.com/2009/02/walking-foot.html"&gt;one of the toys that Kathy sent me&lt;/a&gt; and this was a much easier process... I love the final result and, above all, the colours of this fabric collection, they remind me of Spring, who I welcome!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315761639177111506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/ScVhC_XMx9I/AAAAAAAAAj4/MT-Btda2K9M/s320/DSC03177.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315765983689050370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/ScVk_37kCQI/AAAAAAAAAkI/W3tpDMnQl9E/s320/DSC03183.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;E ela já chegou...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;And she arrived...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315763189787413938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/ScVidP1gTbI/AAAAAAAAAkA/kArgOEWWhCw/s320/DSC03203.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Ao jardim da minha mãe!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; At&lt;em&gt; my mother's garden!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3886519072498228824-2454930784682491741?l=floresascores.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://floresascores.blogspot.com/feeds/2454930784682491741/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3886519072498228824&amp;postID=2454930784682491741' title='9 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3886519072498228824/posts/default/2454930784682491741'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3886519072498228824/posts/default/2454930784682491741'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://floresascores.blogspot.com/2009/03/acabado-done.html' title='Acabado! / Done!'/><author><name>SG</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02463139913177076002</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/ScVefl98K2I/AAAAAAAAAjY/WZNFZs_sdIw/s72-c/DSC03181.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886519072498228824.post-514042266569179464</id><published>2009-03-13T17:33:00.008Z</published><updated>2009-03-13T18:04:46.728Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reciclagem / Re-cycling'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Patchwork'/><title type='text'>Mais flores! / More flowers!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SbqaKXsjd3I/AAAAAAAAAjA/7LeQ1yGV0bI/s1600-h/DSC02650.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312728213387179890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SbqaKXsjd3I/AAAAAAAAAjA/7LeQ1yGV0bI/s320/DSC02650.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Pouco a pouco...

A &lt;a href="http://carole-quiltingadventures.blogspot.com/"&gt;Carole&lt;/a&gt;, uma das minhas parceiras na &lt;a href="http://floresascores.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html"&gt;Secret Santa Christmas Swap&lt;/a&gt; enviou-me uns miminhos para me agradecer o que lhe mandei. Abstraí-me de imediato das chatices de um dia difícil de trabalho (sim, nem tudo são alegrias no trabalho... apesar de eu ainda gostar daquilo que faço...) e adorei tudo! Dentro do envelope descobri as instruções para fazer uma bolsinha "Abby's Treasure Box", um conjunto de agulhas "Easy Threading" (cuja existência eu desconhecia... Santa ignorância!) e um divertido íman, com o qual me identifiquei muito! Vejam se não é divertido:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yesterday, the postman delivered me something absolutely unexpected! &lt;a href="http://carole-quiltingadventures.blogspot.com/"&gt;Carole&lt;/a&gt;, one of my partners at &lt;a href="http://floresascores.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html"&gt;Secret Santa Christmas Swap&lt;/a&gt;, sent me some goodies to, once again, thank me for what I've sent her then. Immediately, I forgot a difficult work day and enjoyed every detail! Inside the envelope, I found a pattern for "Abby's Treasure Box", a packet of Easy Threading needles (new to me!) and a fun magnet! I totally identified myself with it's message! Isn't it fun?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301512763711523314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SZLBxR05ifI/AAAAAAAAAhc/phr2w_nWjX4/s320/DSC03126.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Obrigada Carole!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;THANK YOU CAROLE!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Quanto aos desafios, eles foram feitos (há muito tempo!!!) pela &lt;a href="http://aartedostrapinhos.blogspot.com/"&gt;Noémia&lt;/a&gt;. Primeiro fui desafiada a escolher três livros ... Bem, para mim, este é um desafio dificílimo, pois adoro ler e são muitos os livros que me ficam na memória e que às vezes revisito... Assim sendo, seleccionei três livros de autores que, para mim, são óptimos observadores do real e, a partir daí, constroem magníficos universos ficcionais. Com estilos muito diferentes, considero-os, acima de tudo, excelentes contadores de histórias...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;About the challenges, they were made some time ago by &lt;a href="http://aartedostrapinhos.blogspot.com/"&gt;Noémia&lt;/a&gt;. First I was invited to choose three books that I like... Well, this was a difficult task to me, because I love reading and there are many, many books that I don't forget... So, I decided to select three books from authors that I consider great observers of reality, and, from there, they built wonderful fiction. Three different styles, with something in common: they are great story tellers...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301511821710371458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SZLA6cmUqoI/AAAAAAAAAhU/lvCzao6NVUc/s320/DSC03127.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Para responder ao segundo desafio, devo contar seis coisas sobre mim... Além do que já &lt;a href="http://floresascores.blogspot.com/2008/05/sacos-s-flores.html"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt; escrevi, que mais posso referir para satisfazer a curiosidade da Noémia? Vamos lá:&lt;/div&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;1- A minha casa é o meu mundo! É verdade, adoro estar em casa e consigo sempre arranjar forma de me divertir.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2- O dia da semana de que menos gosto é o Domingo... Já se percebe porquê... Segunda-feira é dia de trabalho...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3- Sou uma perfeccionista e nunca me considero plenamente satisfeita com o resultado daquilo que faço. Ando a ver se mudo de atitude...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;4- Apesar de todas as estações do ano terem o seu encanto, aquela que espero com mais ansiedade é a Primavera. Adoro a explosão de vida e cor que ela nos proporciona! Os dias cinzentos deprimem-me...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;5- Ao volante, não tenho uma ponta de paciência para os "empatas", embora me ande a esforçar para ser mais tolerante. Não é que me considere um ás do volante! Ando é sempre à pressa, o tempo nunca me sobra...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;6- Da longa lista de coisas que não sei fazer (mas gostaria de aprender), uma das que me entristece mais é não saber nadar... É verdade! Trauma de infância! E não é desculpa...  Eu bem tento, mas nem na praia nem na piscina... e é muito frustrante, pois tenho facilmente acesso a ambas e em certos dias de Verão dava muito jeito... Em vez de ficar a chapinhar ... Podem rir-se da desgraça! Eu própria o faço, já que saber rir de nós próprios ajuda-nos a viver melhor.&lt;/div&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;The second challenge is to tell you six things about me... Besides what I've told &lt;a href="http://floresascores.blogspot.com/2008/05/sacos-s-flores.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, what else can I say?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;1- My house is my world! I love being home and I always find something to do, I'm never bored when I'm home.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;2- Sunday is the day of the week that I don't like.. You can see why... Monday is work day!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;3- I'm a perfectionist... I'm never satisfied with the final result of what I do.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;4- Although I can see beauty in every season of the year, the one I anxiously expect is Spring, because of the explosion of colour and life it brings... Grey days depress me...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;5- When I'm driving, slow drivers make me nuts... I don't consider myself a road ace, it's just that I'm always in a hurry... Time runs from me...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;6- Ok, you can smile, and even laugh... I can't swim... &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301510796505973634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SZK_-xajA4I/AAAAAAAAAhM/6UuWdaEwan4/s320/una_flor_parar_ti+RA.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Finalmente, um prémio, que me foi atribuído há muito tempo pela simpática &lt;a href="http://misrecuerdosylosdelosotros.blogspot.com/"&gt;Griselda&lt;/a&gt;. Obrigada!Atribuo-o a todos os que conseguiram ler este longo post até ao fim!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lastly, an award, given to me by charming &lt;a href="http://misrecuerdosylosdelosotros.blogspot.com/"&gt;Griselda&lt;/a&gt;.

Combinámos que, caso, não se adaptasse, eu poderia devolvê-lo. Bem, ela enviou-me, não um, mas dois modelos bastante diferentes. Surpresa das surpresas, ambos se adaptam à máquina! É caso para se evocar o velho provérbio português: &lt;em&gt;Não há fome que não dê em fartura!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Estive a experimentá-los e realmente fazem toda a diferença... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Once I expressed here my disappointment because I couldn't find some accessories for my Singer sewing machine and my dear friend &lt;a href="http://www.kathyssitandstitch.blogspot.com/"&gt;Kathy&lt;/a&gt; gently volunteered to send me one Walking Foot. We agreed that I would send it back if it didn't fit. Well, she sent me not one but two different models. Surprinsingly, although very different, they both match my machine!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I've been trying them and they really make the difference...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297789704227046274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SYWHqscsw4I/AAAAAAAAAg0/jk49fVI2J2U/s320/DSC03033.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297790486771841218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SYWIYPp6uMI/AAAAAAAAAg8/Ajv_V0LFylk/s320/DSC03036.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Para realizar a minha experiência, segui uma ideia da &lt;a href="http://depontoemno.blogspot.com/"&gt;Belém&lt;/a&gt; e aproveitei um pano onde tinha experimentado, há muito tempo, alguns dos pontos de bordar da minha máquina. Escolhi uns tecidos, coloquei-lhe uma moldura, preparei o sanduíche e tracei as linhas de acolchoado. Depois foi só experimenter os brinquedos novos! Resultou num pequeno quilt que já pendurei no meu cantinho de costura. Além de enfeitar, funciona como uma espécie de catálogo...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;To make the experiment, I followed a &lt;a href="http://depontoemno.blogspot.com/"&gt;Belém&lt;/a&gt; idea and used a fabric where I long time ago did try some of my machine stitches. I choose some fabrics, made a border, prepared the sandwish and traced the quilting lines. Then, I had some fun with my new toys!

Quando podemos, fazemos umas mini-férias de Inverno. Este ano fomos até à Hungria e visitámos Budapeste. A expectativa era a de encontrarmos neve, mas tal só aconteceu no dia do regresso, que, marcado por um imprevisto familiar, teve que ser antecipado. A cidade é muito bonita, embora os dias invernais sejam curtos (anoitecia às quatro da tarde) e muito frios (cerca de -7º)...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;div&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;By the end of the year we like to do something different... Whenever we can, we travel and make some little winter holidays. This year, we went to Hungary, and visited Budapest. We were expecting to have some snow, but that only happened on the return day, which was antecipated due to a family incident. The city is very pretty, although winter days are short (the night falls at 4 in the afternoon) and very cold (around -7º)...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;A travessia entre Peste e Buda pode fazer-se pela famosa Ponte das Correntes e a vista de ambos os lados é magnífica!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Crossing between Pest and Buda can be done by the famous Chain Bridge and sight from both sides is magnificent!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290121859626578882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SWpJzZWSM8I/AAAAAAAAAew/0rU2tlx1fCk/s320/DSC02906.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Ponte das Correntes / &lt;em&gt;Chain Bridge&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290123169845537746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SWpK_qS069I/AAAAAAAAAe4/61oaEtTQPN8/s320/DSC02920.JPG" border="0" /&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Vista de Buda sobre Peste / &lt;em&gt;View of Pest from Buda&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290120697742759762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SWpIvw_mF1I/AAAAAAAAAeo/FnulVhBK2yM/s320/DSC02854.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Vista de Buda desde Peste / &lt;em&gt;View of Buda from Pest&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290111617848494578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SWpAfPwGyfI/AAAAAAAAAdg/-HSDTrT5CQM/s320/DSC02872.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;A bela Basílica, decorada a preceito para o Natal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The beautiful Basilica, with Christmas decorations.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290113875346095762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SWpCiplefpI/AAAAAAAAAdw/E69SIlYl3JQ/s320/DSC02929.JPG" border="0" /&gt; O Bastião dos Pescadores / &lt;em&gt;Fishermen's Bastion&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290115675715874450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 243px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SWpELcfFLpI/AAAAAAAAAeA/sH_y0MBRhYA/s320/DSC02858.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;O imponente Parlamento / &lt;em&gt;The sumptuous Parliament&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Por todo o lado se encontram belos bordados tradicionais, marcados por uma exuberância de cor que, em dias cinzentos, atraem a atenção de quem passa.

At meal-times we had the well-knowned Goulach and that helped us to get warmed. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;We had a good time and maybe we will return there some day.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3886519072498228824-1901867886923723351?l=floresascores.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://floresascores.blogspot.com/feeds/1901867886923723351/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3886519072498228824&amp;postID=1901867886923723351' title='6 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3886519072498228824/posts/default/1901867886923723351'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3886519072498228824/posts/default/1901867886923723351'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://floresascores.blogspot.com/2009/01/frias-de-inverno-winter-holidays.html' title='Férias de Inverno / Winter Holidays'/><author><name>SG</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02463139913177076002</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SWpJzZWSM8I/AAAAAAAAAew/0rU2tlx1fCk/s72-c/DSC02906.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886519072498228824.post-349782398981651204</id><published>2009-01-04T11:04:00.008Z</published><updated>2009-01-04T12:05:03.525Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Natal / Christmas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bordados / Stitchery'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Intercâmbios / Swaps'/><title type='text'>Secret Santa Christmas Swap</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SWCkoQ9ZDhI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/vvy542yYm8Y/s1600-h/sscswap+logo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287406974187146770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 166px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SWCkoQ9ZDhI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/vvy542yYm8Y/s320/sscswap+logo.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;div&gt;A &lt;a href="http://chookyblue.blogspot.com/"&gt;Chookyblue&lt;/a&gt; organizou um enorme intercâmbio natalício no qual adorei participar.

Novas formas em &lt;em&gt;papperpiecing&lt;/em&gt;, aplicação em tecido, acolchoado à máquina e colocação de fecho escondido atrás... O acolchoado foi uma aventura! Utilizei o calcador regular, pois já perguntei nas lojas Singer (a marca da minha máquina) se comercializam o acessório especial para acolchoado e fiquei desapontada com a resposta... Desconhecem! Já vi uns acessórios Singer em lojas on-line, mas não consigo descobrir se servem para a minha máquina... Um dia destes vou comprar e depois logo se vê se serve... Isto de trabalhar sem as ferramentas adequadas não ajuda! Ainda assim, o resultado foi agradável.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In these cushions I tried new (to me!) techniques... New papperpiecing shapes , hand applique, machine quilting and hidden zipper on the back... Quilting was an adventure! I used a regular foot... After asking in Singer local suppliers if there is a special foot for my sewing machine, the answer was very disappointing... They don't know! I saw some accessories on-line, but can't find if they fit my machine... One of this days I will buy one, just in case... Working without the right tools doesn't help...

This time with fabrics that I bought in Spain, the neighbour country, during a walk in Seville. The center of the flowers are from Moda Basics, my first big adventure in virtual shopping. They came from &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.fatquartershop.com"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265645286555598706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SRNUfVJbP3I/AAAAAAAAAZ8/3i7h85DXxpI/s320/DSC02616.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Ainda sobre compras, estas foram recentes e foram feitas &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.arcoirisametro.com"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt;. A única loja com materiais específicos para patchwork que conheço em Portugal... Infelizmente, situa-se a mais de 200 km da minha casa... Aproveitei uma ida a Lisboa para descobri-la. Não é grande, mas o atendimento foi simpático. Normalmente, costumo comprar tecidos quando viajo ou na net. Até gosto desta última opção, mas nada se compara ao entrar numa loja repleta de tecidos e perder tempo a admirá-los, tocá-los, combiná-los... Enfim, uma perdição...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;About shopping... These are the recent fabrics that I bought &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.arcoirisametro.com"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. The only portuguese shop that exists in Portugal... Unfortunately, its situate more than 200 km from where I live. I had to go to Lisbon, so I made a detour to go there. It's not big but the owner is a nice girl. Usually I add some fabric to my little stash when I travel or shopping in the Internet. I  like the last option, but there is nothing like going to a shop full of fabrics and lost some time admiring, touching and combining them... Well, a perdition...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Durante as semanas em que não tive tempo para dedicar ao blog, recebi estes prémios:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;During the weeks I didn't had time to dedicate to blogland, I received these awards:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265646036585605346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 149px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SRNVK_Og6OI/AAAAAAAAAaM/Kep576uZVck/s320/premio.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265645536904237010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SRNUt5xMT9I/AAAAAAAAAaE/IQAv13D5MkU/s320/iloveyourblogaward%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;O primeiro foi-me atribuído por &lt;a href="http://carretesdelhilo.com/"&gt;carretesdelhilo&lt;/a&gt; e o segundo pela &lt;a href="http://ourshabbycottage.blogspot.com/"&gt;minha parceira no Bag Swap &lt;/a&gt;em que participei. Obrigada às duas!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Não foi fácil, mas desta vez, consegui escolher alguns blogs para passar os prémios.

Como sempre, antes de iniciar qualquer coisa nova (pelo menos para mim!), consultei a "Bíblia" que, desde miúda, me habituei a ver a minha mãe seguir. E, claro, fiquei elucidada! Encontrei tudo muito bem explicadinho e segui as instruções: fiz o molde, reproduzi-o, escolhi e cortei os tecidos, alinhavei e cozi. Concluí que dá algum trabalho, mas é um projecto óptimo para ir fazendo...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;I found many projects in blogland using this technique, so I decided to give it a try. As always, before starting something new (at least to me!) I consulted my mother's "Bible" for crafts. And I followed the full directions: traced and reproduced the pattern, choosed and cuted the fabrics, basted and sewed. It gives some work, but it's a fun and portable project...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254050823968302354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SOojYyJ6pRI/AAAAAAAAAVg/3LuF37ZuC54/s320/DSC01486.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254052035029216594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SOokfRtVrVI/AAAAAAAAAVo/HosTZ6TU1LY/s320/DSC01489.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254054261766809810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SOomg4886NI/AAAAAAAAAV4/i9ZDqW2Fs70/s320/DSC01660.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254055438068520850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SOonlXBIl5I/AAAAAAAAAWA/tYVvhSgQ-qk/s320/DSC01663.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Estas foram as primeiras flores.

Os tecidos estampados destas foram comprados há algum tempo, em Dublin, numas férias em que visitámos a Irlanda. São especiais, pois foram os primeiros tecidos que comprei para patchwork e ficaram pacientemente guardados, à espera de um projecto especial... Vamos ver o que se segue...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I can see many more coming and all of them will be unique, because this will be a special quilt : each little peace of fabric will tell a story. The printed ones from the flowers above, for instance, were bought some time ago in Dublin, when we visited Ireland on holidays. They are the first fabrics I bought for patchwork and they patiently waited to be used in a special project... We will see what comes next...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3886519072498228824-1830550749528184723?l=floresascores.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://floresascores.blogspot.com/feeds/1830550749528184723/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3886519072498228824&amp;postID=1830550749528184723' title='4 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3886519072498228824/posts/default/1830550749528184723'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3886519072498228824/posts/default/1830550749528184723'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://floresascores.blogspot.com/2008/10/jardim-da-av-grandmothers-flower-garden.html' title='Jardim da Avó / Grandmother&apos;s Flower Garden'/><author><name>SG</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02463139913177076002</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SOojYyJ6pRI/AAAAAAAAAVg/3LuF37ZuC54/s72-c/DSC01486.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886519072498228824.post-1495553405894310916</id><published>2008-09-27T21:20:00.020+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-27T23:26:50.896+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Prémios/Awards'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bordados / Stitchery'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Patchwork'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Intercâmbios / Swaps'/><title type='text'>Bag Swap e Prémios / Awards</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Recebi ontem, com grande entusiasmo, o que me enviou a minha amiga secreta no intercâmbio organizado (uma vez mais com muito profissionalismo!) pela &lt;a href="http://all-stitched-up.blogspot.com/"&gt;Linda&lt;/a&gt;! Desta vez, foi minha parceira a &lt;a href="http://www.beadtex.blogspot.com/"&gt;Brigitte&lt;/a&gt;, uma simpática alemã que vive na Polónia.&lt;br /&gt;Enviou-me um magnífico saco inspirado num modelo japonês, feito a partir de um tecido construído por ela com pedacinhos de vários tecidos (alguns minúsculos!), a que chama "crazy fabric". Alguns bocados estão bordados de forma muito original. Um trabalho perfeito!Adorei!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yesterday I received, enthusiastically, what my secret friend from the Bag Swap organized (once again very professionally!) by &lt;a href="http://all-stitched-up.blogspot.com/"&gt;Linda&lt;/a&gt;! My partner was &lt;a href="http://www.beadtex.blogspot.com/"&gt;Brigitte&lt;/a&gt;, a nice german that lives in Poland.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;It was a gorgeous bag, inspired in a japanese pattern, built in what she calls "crazy fabric", a fabric that she has made with lots of other facbrics (some of them little, little scraps!).

A acompanhar tudo, uma carta muito simpática! Obrigada Brigitte!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;She also sent other goddies: chocolate, tea (both delicious!), a beautiful monogram produced in a local factory, an oldfashioned needlebook and other machine needles.

Enviei-lhe um saco em linho, com aplicações e bordado, ao qual juntei uns acessórios a condizer. A acompanhar, umas rendas portuguesas. Nas suas preferências, entraram as cores rosa, branco, verde e o estilo "Shabby Cottage". Aliás, este é o estilo dos trabalhos lindíssimos que partilha connosco no seu blog. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In this swap I was the secret friend of &lt;a href="http://ourshabbycottage.blogspot.com/"&gt;Kathryn&lt;/a&gt;, also a very nice girl. I sent her a bag with some stitchery and added some other matching stitching /sewing acessories and some portuguese laces. In her preferences: pinks, whites, greens, anything "Shabby Cottage". Thats the style of the beautiful projects that she shares with us on her blog.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250810154962170290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SN6gBBWIsbI/AAAAAAAAAUU/PvEJFFeinE4/s320/DSC02442.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250811399358783906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SN6hJdFaIaI/AAAAAAAAAUk/okebqmSKwxE/s320/DSC02440.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250813749539275586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SN6jSQMGg0I/AAAAAAAAAU0/BFFxenAJY90/s320/DSC02459.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250812750855337858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SN6iYHzS94I/AAAAAAAAAUs/R5o3-3c8Sj4/s320/DSC02451.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Também por estes dias recebi este prémio, que me foi gentilmente atribuído pela &lt;a href="http://canelacreaciones.blogspot.com/"&gt;Ximena&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Also by these days I received this award from &lt;a href="http://canelacreaciones.blogspot.com/"&gt;Ximena&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250813902965341506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SN6jbLvufUI/AAAAAAAAAU8/LBQ9-iW1oxU/s320/premio1%5B1%5D%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E este foi-me oferecido pela simpática &lt;a href="http://aartedostrapinhos.blogspot.com/"&gt;Noémia&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;And this one was given to me by &lt;a href="http://aartedostrapinhos.blogspot.com/"&gt;Noémia&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250829864134549986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SN6x8PvAoeI/AAAAAAAAAVM/R_uwcMalZac/s320/blog+de+ouro+2%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Obrigada a ambas!

E se produzem! A sensação de colher a fruta e poder comê-la na hora é maravilhosa... Claro, como é biológica, de vez em quando é preciso tomar atenção a um ou outro bicharoco que por lá ande... Agora é época da maçã e da pêra e a quantidade é tanta que é preciso armazenar...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yesterday we spent the day in my father-in-law little farm, where the fruit-trees were planted to provide biological fruit for the family. And they are productive! The feeling of catching the fruit and eat in place is wonderful... Of course, as it is biologic, now and then we need to pay attention to one or another bug... Now it's time of collect apples and pears and there are so many that we need to store them.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238559481152096914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SLMaF9DTSpI/AAAAAAAAAPY/rZBs3Sb9gQM/s320/DSC02262.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238560747029165570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SLMbPoz6dgI/AAAAAAAAAPg/9HenMFMYio4/s320/DSC02276.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238563444059885858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SLMdsoCJUSI/AAAAAAAAAPw/htxd8dB22V8/s320/DSC02272.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238562086014973970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SLMcdk7AeBI/AAAAAAAAAPo/ebteIfaoCec/s320/DSC02278.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Estas são algumas das que vieram connosco:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;These are some of the ones we brought home:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238566446215171218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3YwWY6efdKc/SLMgbX7vjJI/AAAAAAAAAQA/9UFpAN2YOQo/s320/DSC02285.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Num dos caminhos de acesso à quinta, além de magníficas paisagens, tivemos a agradável surpresa de encontrar amoras silvestres, e muitas...

Durante nove dias, trocámos, com muito agrado, o calor e a agitação do Algarve por uma temperatura primaveril, com alguma chuva incluída, que não atrapalhou qualquer das actividades planeadas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;A Cornualha revelou-se uma região repleta de verde, com paisagens amenas e pequenas vilas / cidades encantadoras, em que a tradição arquitectónica é profundamente respeitada. A gastronomia remete indiscutivelmente para as famosas cornish pasties e para pratos confeccionados com frutos do mar, como as deliciosas vieiras. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This year we decided to travel to England, to the Cornwall region. For nine days we exchanged, pleasantly, the hot temperature from the Algarve for a spring temperature, with some rain included.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Cornwall is a green region, with pleasant landscape and little charming towns, where the arquitectonic tradition is well respected. Gastronomicaly speaking, cornish pasties are all over and the food confection is deeply related to sea delights, as delicious scallops.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Visitámos o incontornável projecto Eden:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;We visited the Eden project:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235538223431042818" style="DISPLAY: block;
