Do you knit?

I do. It's to compensate the sad cold days that pop up through my window.

So, knitting is one of my hobbies. And it's refreshing too. At least I spend the gray hours doing something creative, so I don't feel so useless staying at home.
I sell most of my handmade works, but this one it's a gift.

José and Pilar

Once I am portuguese I might say that I had been touched by this movie ... It's not because the only portuguese that was a Nobel prize, but also because of the human being that Saramago was. If you didn't see it, and if you don't know much about his life, this is a documentary that I trully recomend.

Improving

Being bored of the convencional, I have decided to change my bedroom a little bit, therefore the transformations begun with the bedside table. I have a "normal" one, but once I have 2 bedrooms, I have decided to let the other one be in the guest bedroom. So, I have made up this new concept of bedside tables :) I love the zebra boxes, and the red one was a birthday present, and once I love pretty boxes I decided to keep this one, just because ...

Simulate the dream

To simulate the dream, emotion, sadness, joy, love, passion, hunger, cry, friendship above all … To gather life that tears apart into pieces and get them back together in this world. We wake up by dawn, we say goodbye at sunset, to come back home, send messages, and remembering that at the end of the day our friendship will go stronger and stronger each day … Always together, in any space full of color, in any lost window, at the beginning of a street, at the door, in a far away terrace … what does it matter, if in any place with any form, will be there together …

New look ;)

After a while me and my friend decided to bring back to life our blog :))

Escape

E se eu me enganar no tempo é porque fugi de ti.
É porque escapei aos teus braços e neguei o teu amor.
Atirei-me de uma enseada de ondas pulsantes,
E abracei-me às vagas que lambiam o chão de pedras.

Se te recusei é porque não pensei em ti,
É porque recolhi o sentimento no meu intimo,
E isolei-o do resto de um mundo que não me entende,
Que me encurrala de cada vez que o sol passa.

Se te ofendi não foi por querer,
Entende que não estou apta para o sentimento,
Não o sei compreender, não o idolatro, nem o renego,
Apenas não o sei apreciar, porque nunca o vivi.

E se me empurrarem de um balão em movimento,
Deixo-me ir ...
Agarro-me às nuvens que passam,
Aos ramos que bamboleam na minha subida,
E sigo o caminho que me indicam,
Só para te poder arrancar desta minha vida.

Sonho

Ao rebuscar o sonho entorpecido
Encontro-te prostrado esperando por mim.
Recolho as tuas dores,
Os teus alentos
Almejo as tuas gotas de suor que escorrem
E tendem a guiar-me as curvas do corpo quente

Elevo a voz para que me ouças no meio de um campo,
Sinto-te fortemente a comandar-me a alma,
A usufruir vezes sem conta do meu desejo,
A pedir sem explicações o que vai dentro de mim,
A evadires-te pelas névoas quando falo

Anseio pelas longas horas de choro pulsante,
Para te arrancar cá de dentro,
Num ápice,
Poder consumir-te aos poucos soprando-me no leito,
Erguendo as mãos másculas como hastes de árvore,
De raízes maduras que não largam o corpo

Usufruo uma vez mais do teu calor,
Do beijo sôfrego que me acalenta os lábios,
Dos dedos que me contornam as mágoas num cheiro,
Das palavras silenciadas por entre os lençóis de cetim,
Enrolados no chão como promessas vãs,
Sem sentido ...

Rebusco nesse sonho o teu coração,
Mas não o encontro ...
Seguiu outros caminhos,
Noutras margens,
Noutros destinos tão longínquos e tão profundos
Que a minha alma não o consegue alcançar...

Flowers in peace

I agree that the flowers must be left in peace,

That the winds must blow only from time to time,

To let them grow and be generous with life,

Even when the soft breeze penetrates their soul.

I agree that the rains must travel daily,

Open their tears to the world and soak the petals,

Embrace the fields open wide when they are coloured

And ready to bloom among the other nature.

I agree that the thunders must roar every day,

Scream loudly at the top of the endless sky,

Fill in the lungs with air and little pieces of pólen,

So it can inhale peacefuly the soft life bellow.

I agree that the sun must shine proudly,

Spread the rays of light through the branches,

Twisting the heat in delicate flowers that pop around,

Switching their colours into a bright tone,

A very peculiar one that will keep on shinning,

Even when the sun is gone.

Cat moments

I am a cat in the world,
One more among the others - you think,
I jump and I walk around the corners,
Lay in a warm day at the top of a counter,
Try to fly and spread my invisible wings
To reach the outside



I am cat in the world,
The one who feels free even inside,
I crawl and beg for hugs,
Lick your fingertips when you give me food,
Capt your attention like a camera
When you are far away in your thoughts.



I am cat in the world,
Feeling love and holding you,
Just treat me well and I'll be your loyal friend,
Embrace me in cold days and
Leave me alone when it's sunny,
I am free but with benefits




I am a cat in the world,
Always by your side no matter what,
I run through the house when I'm happy,
I will guard your shrine when you are not there
And at the end of the day
I wait for your arrival at home
Behind the entrance door





I am cat in the world,
But I am above all
Your cat
In your own world
That you became mine as well ...
