I need more time...

Não é a primeira vez que faço uma Cowl com esta lã (fiz outra em tons de cinzento no Verão passado, também para oferecer), mas não tive a oportunidade de tirar fotografias....
I just wanted to show you what I've been doing with my (little) free time...I try to keep in contact with the world outside our house but, when I'm inside it there's little time to do anything (besides taking care of James). I'm trying to adapt to this new situation (that's why my knitting bag is always on the couch, with one or two projects on the go) but things here are very slow, literally! A small project like this Cowl above took me nearly a month to finish!?! Anyway...despite my deadlines being stretched so many times, this little project is on time, ready to warm a dear neck very very soon :) The yarn I used was Malabrigo Chunky (bought in the fabulous shop Imagiknit in San Francisco when we went there at the end of 2008), wonderful to work with...and the colours? They're a dream!
This was not the first time that I knited a Cowl with this yarn (I made a beautiful one last summer in grey tones to give as a present as well), but I didn't get the chance to take pictures of it...

...that's it...I need more time! 24 hours are not enough in my day...they're not enough to knit, to take fotos, to read, to write, anyway...it has to be little by little :) The photo above was the only picture I took to the (little) pieces I knitted to give as present last Christmas :)

A giveaway...

This weekend I had an idea...what about giving a present to my blog readers to celebrate its 150th post? And what about giving a romantic, light book? After all, Valentine's Day is around the corner...It was decided! Whoever would like to have this book (plus a few surprises only has to write a comment on this post saying what is the food they love :) The winner will be announced here on the 14th February.

A new era



This weekend I was thinking of things that would make me happy this year...spend more time by the sea, read more books, learn new things and do more knitting :)

James' first holidays in Portugal

We arrived by plane, even if it seems that we went over by "flying dog"...that was "just" one more present,from the "mountains" that James received this Christmas,this time in Portugal :)


James also received lots of hugs, smiles and kisses from cousins, grandparents, great-grandparents, uncles & aunties, great-uncles & aunties, godparents and friends...oh so many people that loves our baby and he loved everything and everybody!! :)


Of course we had time to spend around good food with the family and friends...I couldn't resist and took a picture of the sheep-biscuit that my cousin Ana Luísa made especially for me :) isn't it cute?






I think I can speak for James when I say that he had a great time and loved meeting everybody :) Now imagine how is it going to be in the summer with the good weather, trips to the beach, more family (including little cousins), etc, etc...
