If I would have known that putting pineapple in the oven would have made a beautiful edible flower, I would have tried it years ago!

Handmade gifts - Presentes feitos à mão

Today, as I stepped into my office my heart was filled with joy: I got not one but two wonderful handmade gifts:

The blue cardigan was made by the mother of a colleague from the office, and it’s absolutely adorable; the gorgeous looking yellow sun was made by a very talented blogging friend, Monica Martinho (click here for the original pattern link provided by Monica, the instructions are in English).

Thank you both for these lovely thoughtful gifts!

(BTW I added a pregnancy ticker just bellow the blog header; all is well but I haven't been sewing and I really don't feel like blogging much these days,... Hope you all forgive me for the long absence)

                                         --------------------//-----------------------

Hoje no escritório fiquei com o coração cheio de alegria por receber não um mas dois presentes feitos à mão:

O casaquinho azul foi feito pela mãe de uma colega de trabalho e é absolutamente adorável; o fantástico Sol de tricô foi feito por uma amiga blogueira muito talentosa, a Mónica Martinho. No artigo dela podem encontrar uma ligação para o modelo original (em Inglês), se estiverem interessadas.

Obrigada a ambas por tudo, hoje fizeram-me muito feliz!

(A propósito, adicionei um calendáro de gravidez mesmo por baixo do cabeçalho do blogue; está tudo bem, mas não tenho costurado nada e não tenho tido grande vontade de publicar nos blogues,... Espero que me perdoem pela ausência prolongada)
