From LisBon to Bonn

Bonn Life Style!

Farewell Dinner @ Quebra Costas

Germany here we go! Seems like Paris will have to wait.

Bonn is the next destination!

All my friends from work got together at Quebra Costas in Alfama and It was a blast!

Thank you my dears Etienne and Olivier, from Loja 14.18, Zé, and all my funny and crazy Team from Fujitsu!

I already miss you guys!

As a goodbye gift all my friends wrote lovely messages on a rock climbing helmet!
Here's me showing off the new gear! :P

Paris Honey Moon

After a few months on Skype, together at last! 
For our 3rd year anniversary, nothing like a Honeymoon in Paris!

Alfama's CleanUp

Soon we'll be leaving Alfama and this beautiful house. 

 

This is by far the most beautiful house ever! I wish we could take it just like it is and place it in Paris or Bonn, since for the time being we really don't know were the destination will be!

The objective is to take only what will fit in our Van. 

Now is the time to take away the old in order to give space for the new (probably upcycled)

Stuff to go:

Clothes and shoes - hers and his;

An infinity of creams and way too much bijouterie;

Climbing and Slackline Gear;

Cat;

Beloved kitchen pots and pans;

Oliva sewing machine and at least 5 boxes with craft/upcycle supplies;

Yoga Books and some other ones we cannot live without;

 

 

 ...

Oh god! All this won't fit the Van! 

Better get selective!

Crochet Mania

After a few autodidact lessons, help from youtube videos and random internet tutorials...

Here are some Crochet Projects:

Set of 2 Crochet Boxes, first test for me. I gave 2 just like that in yellow for my mum's B-Day!

 Set of Crochet Cup Bases for friends that looove whiskey.. only the good one, of course!

I don't remember how many sets of fingerless gloves I made! Pufff...

Made a bunch of roses, each with a pin on the back and I had all Christmas Presents done!

My Love is Going to Paris

It's the big day! My love is going to Paris! 

I made him a Saudade's Box, so he can open it when he misses me and be amused with the little things I've put together for him.  

Wrapping around an upcycled cassette case, a cleaning cloth with a "galo de Barcelos", a typical symbol of Portugal and a must have in any emigrant backpack! :D
     

Inside the box some photos: us, the cat and a picture of Alfama; 
A love letter; a Ganesh - the remover of Obstacles; some warm underware; nag-champa and one or to more things only he will know.

I will miss him but time will fly faster due to the enormous list of things I still have to do before it's my turn to move to France!

Best of luck my Love, you deserve the world! <3

HighLine In Sesimbra

Words can´t describe the feeling of a HighLine!

Thank you all, and thank you Cavalo d'Aço, 40mts of line placed in a magnificent location.

Prochaine destination: Paris!

On the wall, The Plan is set. A huge to-do list organizes mostly tasks but it's sprinkled full of ideas, dreams and expectations!
Soon we'll be moving to Paris!

Goodbye Lisbon and Portugal, farewell family and friends!

The world is our playground, and Paris sure looks like a good playground!

 

I will never wear a tie to work!

UnTie me Collection by Upcycle - old ties found at the flea market turned into a purse

M&M Wallet

Claudia and I ate too much M&M's just to have this made for her! =)
