Lisbon Street Art

Everytime I return to Lisbon I see something new... 
The only thing that remains the same is the love I get from all my friends!
Thank you for making Lisbon even more beautiful! My heart is with you all!

Luxemburg, Sardines on Carvon and Minis!

It's good to drive only 2 hours and already be changing countries. 

With the main goal of rock climbing in Nature Reserve area of Berdorf, we made a small roadtrip from Germany to Luxembourg... and we could almost believe thet we were back in Portugal!
 
As a great coincidence, the day we went there it was the commemorative day of the cooperation between Portugal and Luxembourg.
Besides hearing portuguese all over the streets and local bussiness (like any other day in Luxembourg), we had the pleasure of finding a wonderfull portuguese get together with Sagres minis, sardines on carvon and pregos!
We could smell the St. António Fest in Lisbon!! =)


Luxembourg is a very small and lovely country, measuring around 82 km long and 57 km wide!
After driving through the countryside and walking in the city of Luxembourg we can understand why a lot of portuguese emmigrants stayed.


Even though it's a city with some hills we could see that a lot of people go around by bike, and we found this awesome custom made bike! They even have veló city bikes like in Paris but maybe due to geography, they were not being put to use remaining in almost brand new conditions...


Last but not least, the Berdorf Nature Reserve and the top of climbing routes showed us this beautifull landscape! 
Almost like a magical country (due to being so small and of course, a tax haven!) all surroundings are treated like our very special backyards... seems no area is forgotten or neglected... simply amazing!

Crochet Star

Made in Lisbon, on may subway rides to work
I though it was a strange color mix, due to some leftover yarns but if suits really well with this carpet from the new house!


 I had to leave the sewing machine and all the Atelier boxes behind since they did not fit inside the Van!
Now I'm on the look out for a new sewing machine, all I have left to craft is crochet yarns and a sketchbook I bought.
Not doing multiple crafts at once is good, I'm really improving my technics on what i have to use =)
