shop update

A (small) shop update just before Christmas...

Available here / disponíveis aqui



My favorites, featuring fairytale japanese fabrics (hansel & gretel, this time)



... and hedgehogs :)

shop update

A little break from the Iceland travel posts to let you know that new bookcovers and small notebook sleeves are available in the shop now.

I also added quite a few wrap around bookcovers, and these will probably be the last available in this model. In the future I'll be offering jacket bookcovers only, since in my opinion they're more practical anyway. In the meantime, I'm thinking about new projects and ideas, so I'm hoping to show you new stuff soon.

almost ready

Can you believe I didn't have enough bookcovers for myself ? I make so many, but rarely keep them. So I hastily made this one during last weekend, along with a matching pouch for my sunglasses. Arthur and George will be keeping me company during tonight's flight.

shop update

Finally, a shop update !
Sorry it didn't happen last week, and it's a small one, but I forgot we were going to have a long weekend and we'd be out of town. Anyway, I hope I can have updates more regularly from now on, so let's see how that goes. Despite the bad weather we had a great long weekend in Marvão and I'll post some photos later. And later tonight, I'm in for a treat (Cat Power in concert, it should be good ...)

Para a feira

Algumas capas e sleeves que irão estar disponíveis na feira de Artesanato Urbano do Parque da Cidade, no Porto, já neste sábado dia 17 de Maio (não vou estar lá, mas procurem na banca da minha amiga Winkiemoon)

#390-#399 (quase a chegar às 400)



Almost reaching my 400th bookcover :) I will make a update to the shop soon with new bookcovers, just a couple more of wholesale orders I have to finish first. The rafting experience was great, we were incredibly lucky with the weather - unlike today, it was actually sunny and warm - and we managed not to overturn the boat once. For obvious reasons I couldn't take my camera with me so I don't have any photos, but if I can get any decent ones from one of my colleagues I'll show you later.

(Billy, foi no rio Paiva sim, e fiz o tal salto da rocha - foi fantástico :)

holiday crafts

Still on the crafts that were made lately, here's some of the things that were either custom orders or gifts I made for friends.

A few bookcovers... I'm really liking this new model a lot, and the suede / japanese fabrics combo looks so good I'll probably stick with this for my next batch.

This was one was for a secret santa exchange. I love the kitty fabric, and the buttons were the perfect touch.





This one was for a friend, who loves red as much as I do. And it contained this book which I recommend every time I have a chance.



A more masculine and sober version, for another friend.



And a custom order, to match a bag I made sometime ago



A couple of bags were also made. Here's a pocket bag with cream wool fabric as the background, instead of my usual corduroy or linen. I wasn't sure if the combination would work out, but it did so I'm sure I'll be using it again in the future



A reversible hello kitty bag





And a custom order bag for someone else who loves cats.



Finally, a new version of the pencil sleeves. Larger and with the button pocket on the side. I made one to go with my new red moleskine (it seems that eve ry one is having one of these for 2008) and a couple for some dear friends.
