Sad times

I don't know what's happening... Everyone is sad and melancholy... And the worst is that I'm starting feeling the same! That's one of the reasons why I didn't post these last days, I was sad, upset, angry and depressed.
In the blogs I usually read I know about the death of Beth's husband, of Céline's sister, I read about Helena and Sandra's anguish...
I don't know these people personnally, even so I feel a little of their pain and anguish and I feel helpless because I can't do nothing unless being solidary.

Fimo key-rings

The black one was an order from Z. and the red one was made for a swap. I enjoyed how they turned out, one of these days I'll do some more!

Flowers

More soap flowers. Hum, what a scent...

Swap with Joana

After she won my contest and after I got her as my swap buddy in a key-ring swap, Joana offered for a personnal swap! I accepted the challenge and here's the result... This was the book cover that I made specially for her (and some other stuff) which you can see here. And this is the package she sent me! :)

Good luck Beth and Ivan.

More birthday cards...

...that went to the girls at Vamos Trocar! I've tried to pay attention to their tastes and I'm a little sad because few of them give some feed-back :(
I don't even know if the postcards got there...



and some little gifts.

Nanucha's postcard is missing, I forgot to take a picture. But you can go to her Flickr's page. It's the one with the cat!

Jewellery Swap at Swapmeet

This was what I've done to send to Michelle. I thought the neclace wasn't enough, so I did a pair of earrings. And, of course, the small postcard...


And this was what I got from Amanda. Two pairs of earrings, when thr agreement was just one! Looks like she guessed that my favourite item of jewellery it's earrings! I loved the special shine in the green stones. Thanks, Amanda! Here's the pics:

A week later

Here I am to reveal the secret!
I'm learning to do flowers! These I showed you are made from soap, meanwhile I've learned to do them in tin and next week it will be fabric, paper and onion peel. It's so funny to do it. I'm loving it, it's a pitty the materials are so expensive :( and so hard to find.
Later I'll show you the other photos. I'm not going to say when so I won't let you down!

Guess what...

...I am learning to do!

Tomorrow, maybe, I'll tell you everything about it.
Ah, and they are different, believe me...

Nostalgia...

In the Portuguese version I was talking about the Portuguese Music of the Eighties... Far better than that from abroad...

Magazine

Another post about magazines...
As I said before I'm not translating what I wrote in the portuguese version because you probably don't even have these magazines in your country...
But if you do happen to want any information about them, be free to ask in the comments or by e-mail. I'll be glad to tell you more about my craft magazines!
