Girl Hat



I always wanted to make a hat and my daughter always wanted me to make her a hat!
Voila!
I'll tell you, even though it is spring, she still likes to wear it!


Sempre quis fazer um gorro e minha filha sempre quis que eu fizesse um gorro pra ela!
Voila!
E deixa eu contar, que mesmo na primavera, ela ainda quer usar!

Crayon Pencil Holder




Simple and fun! These will be my kid's teachers gifts this year!

Baby Shower Treat



This is a treat I made for a friend's baby shower.  Baby food containers filed with Brigadeiro!

Brigadeiro is a simple chocolate bonbon, created in the 1940's and named after Brigadier Eduardo Gomes, whose shape is reminiscent of that of some varieties of chocolate truffles.  It is a very popular candy in Brazil and it is usually serves at birthday parties, but can also be found at any kind of party.



A Little Pottery


I miss my tole painting, so to change a bit I tried a little pottery painting with a friend. A simple pattern, just to get the feel for it. It was fun, but for sure I'll try something more elaborated next time!

Cowl/Neck Warmer




Another fun and easy project.  Loved the result. My friend Lara shared a pattern which she modified  and I modified it once more.

If you are interested in purchasing one, check out My Etsy Shop.

Outro projeto divertido e gostoso de fazer.  Adorei o resultado. Minha amiga Lara me passou o molde que ela pegou e modificou, e que eu tambem modifiquei um pouco.

Crochet Basket



I love the idea of a crochet basket to carry my yarn!  It is a simple and fun project.

Amei a ideia de uma cesta de crochet para carregar minhas linhas e las!  Um projeto simples e divertido.
