BACK IN AUGUST...OR MAYBE LATER

When I started this blog I had two ideas in mind: blog about my wonderful sewing and become a world -famous blogger and earn my life being a professional blogger! None of these have become true, lol. 

As for the plan of only blogging about my creations, that one fell apart the very next week when reality hit me in the face and I realized it would be impossible to sew that much. I don´t really think that a designer could do that...But it was ok, I decided to blog about all the stuff I like - as described in my profile on the right -  and since then I have been able to do just that. My "Sewing Factory" became a cooking, baking, knitting, decorating, embroidering, travelling, books, magazine reviewing, accessories and clothes blog, but still I only post what I LIKE, yay! As for the fantasy of making a living out of blogging, I see no light at the end of the tunnel, but if anyone decides to sponsor me or give me money for no reason, I´m taking it :))))))))))))  

I have this shabby little blog because I like it. It is important to me, it is a big part of who and what I am. It is not my whole life, though. I have a house, a family and a full-time job. I make this blog full-heartedly, and enjoy working on it, but it does take a lot of time. And sometimes, time is just what we don´t have. For a year now I have been having some personnal issues that need some attention, hence I don´t have all the time I would love to have to work on the blog. I have taken some "time out" from blogging and I am doing it again. Not because I don´t love blogging, but because I do love it! 

The blog needs this time... I need this time!

I have plans for the blog: I want to make some changes, I want the blog to be more personnal, and so I decided to take a break while I work on it. Don´t expect huge design changes or anything like it (trust me, this "simple blogger design" is as far as my computer skills will allow me). 

I am changing the regularity of the posts - I don´t want to keep  this every-Monday-Wednesday-and-Friday thing, and I am aiming at at least one I-made-it a week, hopefuly more. I will still post what I like. The magazine reviews will continue.

I also have some series in mind, let´s see if those work out.

I just want to be more personnal. More of my life, my baking, my cooking, my sewing... 

     

Eu tinha duas ideias em mente quando comecei o blog: fazer um blog de costuras, as minhas, e ficar muito famosa, kkkkk. Bom, acho que na primeira semana caiu a ficha que blog só de coisas que eu costurei não iria rolar mesmo, porque acho que nem um estilista consegue costurar tanto assim, rsrsrs. Quanto a ficar famosa, xá prá lá, kkkkkk! 

Mas agora sério, eu amo fazer meu bloguezinho, é um lado meu muito, muito importante. Mas não é o único, e às vezes não tenho o tempo que gostaria para me dedicar a ele. De um ano para cá, as coisas estão meio fora de prumo e já tive de deixar o blog de molho duas vezes, não porque eu não goste de blogar, mas exatamente pelo contrário: eu AMO! 

Vou dar um tempinho de novo. Tenho planos para o blog! Não que eu vá mudar o visual ou nada assim tão grandioso, mas quero fazer um blog mais pessoal. Tenho umas ideias para algumas seriezinhas. Vou tirar esse tempo para me dedicar a essas "mudanças". Vou continuar postando as coisas de que gosto, as coisas que eu fiz, afinal o blog é disso mesmo, mas quero torná-lo mais pessoal.  O blog precisa desse tempinho. EU preciso desse tempinho. 
   

I love travelling. WANDERLUST is a word made to describe me, if you get my meaning. I have been blessed with the privilege of doing so from time to time (click here to take a look). . I am travelling for some days in July. Let me share this wonderful quote with you once more:

"... I always take the time to appreciate where I am for what it is. I seek out the excitement of the strange and not the comfort of the familiar. I´m not trying to lose myself, or even find myself, for that matter. My goal is just to enjoy myself, learn something, and gain an appreciation for the amazing complexity of this planet and the people who live on it.
     Wherever I go, I bring myself. And so far, it´s always been a roundtrip."
                               (Michael J. Fox, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future...)




Uma das minhas paixões é viajar, e graças aos deuses do universo, tenho tido muita sorte para poder viajar bastante (clique aqui para dar uma olhadinha)...Vou viajar alguns dias em julho. Amo essa frase acima do Michael J. Fox, que diz mais ou menos assim em tradução super livre: 
eu tento apreciar os lugares do jeito que eles são. Eu busco o diferente, e não o conhecido. Não quero me "perder" nos lugares. Nem me "encontrar". Só quero curtir, aprender e ter a oportunidade de admirar a  complexidade do nosso planeta e das pessoas que vivem nele. Não importa para onde vou, eu sempre volto.  

I thought at first that the blog would be back in the middle of July, but that will be in August. I hope you will come back to see the blog again! 

Of course I will be updating social media posts. If you want to follow me, I will be very happy and honoured! See you soon!

Meus planos iniciais eram de voltar ao blog no meio de julho, mas decidi que só volto em agosto. Espero que vocês voltem a acompanhar o blog. Claro que nesse tempinho, as postagens nas midia sociais serão atualizadas, Se quiserem me acompanhar, ficarei super feliz! Beijão e até mais!
