Voltei!

Tanto tempo se passou, que tinha até esquecido meu login do blog...
Acabei de recuperá-lo!
Veremos se desta vez consigo trazer uns updates no blog.
Minha última paixão é o Ravelry.
Quem é tricoteira precisa conhecer - é show de bola!
Beijos pra quem passar por aqui =D

Se constrangimento matasse...

My dear SP...

Estou te devendo meu endereço desde o dia 12...
Agora que consegui acessar meus e-mails... (desleixo puro!!!)
Percebi que o e-mail que me mandaste foi limpo da minha caixa postal... :O

Se ainda estiver com vontade de mandar aquele pacotinho, podes fazer duas coisas: manda pro endereço que já tens... (pode ser Sedex) ou me manda um e-mail, de novo, para que eu possa te responder...

Thanks .... :'$

P.S.: Espero que seu Natal tenha sido maravilhoso.
E que o Ano Novo seja ótimo, e que sua próxima SP seja mais atenciosa do que eu.... *Ü*

Faz um tempinho....

Pois é, faz um bom tempo que não posto por aqui.
Como toda arteira (porque ainda não cheguei ao nível "artesã"), fico no dilema de Tostines: "Se eu blogo, não tricoto. Se eu tricoto, não blogo."

Andei fazendo umas experiências:


É muuuito gostoso tingir!!!! Pena que a gama de cores é pequena....


E andei experimentando umas novas técnicas:


Não tenho fotos, mas transformar a meada (enoooorme) em novelo, foi uma tarefa muuuuito difícil, acho que vou precisar de algo assim:

Olha só: Que lindo !!!

Minha SP é demais!!!

O maridão pegou a encomenda na 6ª feira, mas eu queria abrir com carinho e poder documentar o momento, então aí vai:



Olha só o que ela me mandou:


Os marcadores de pontos são lindos!!! Eu fiquei morrendo de vontade de fazer uns também...

Ainda estou babando no meu livrinho!!
E o carinho que você me passou!! Tudo com dedicatória... :')
O pacote verdinho, com Garfields pra todos os lados!!

Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! My SP!!

P.S.: Só não te mandei o endereço de casa, porque estava de mudança. Assim que conseguir acessar (ainda... sad...) meu e-mail eu te mando.

Eu me ODEIO!!!!!

Sorry !!!!!

Mil, mil, milhões de desculpas...
Eu estou com PC problems, e faz uns dez dias que não consigo ler meus e-mails...
Shame on me... Nem pra ir numa lan-house...
Estou me sentido muuuito envergonhada ='(
por favor, não se preocupe, o pacote será resgatado antes do dia 09.
Não sei porque isso aconteceu, mas deveriam ter entregue um aviso para retirar o pacote na agência - o que não aconteceu...
Mas adorei você ser daqui do nosso Brasil, quem sabe depois dessa confusão a gente se encontra pra tricotar um pouco ?
Não chateie porque não chegou o pacote no endereço, depois eu pergunto porque não mandaram o aviso, tá?
Fiquei muito mal quando vi seus posts...
Você fez e enviou meu pacotinho com tanto carinho e eu nem aí...
Nem me dignei a ler meus e-mails...
Meu coração tá apertadinho, apertadinho...

Mil desculpas novamente...
Bejos, Noemy.

pra você:

Oh, my! It's already October!!!!

Hi!
My SP wrote me and I just realized that it's alredy October and I haven't update my blog...

This picture was teaken in August !!!
Me and hubby went with some friends from work to Gramado - doesn't it looks like europe?
I have lots of projects in my mind - not on my needles ... =(
But they'll get there !!
These days I'm fighting with DH for his digital camera, because I have loads of pictures taken In it, and he don't let me download them to my PC...
I bought some variegated blue cotton to make a spring shawl for me, but haven't decide on the pattern yet. =)
And I saw a very beautiful sweater, with lots of cables - I love cables - and bought some yarn too, but have to adapt for the yarn gauge I bought, so, it will tame some more time... It's the Interlocking Cables, from Interwave Press.
And I dyed some wool and some raw cotton, and I'm trying modular knitting...
Hope to be posting some pictures very, very soon!!!
Like knitters use to say "So many things to knit, so little time..."

I will get spoiled !!!

Hi,

As an apologize for being so late answering my pal - I'm posting this for YOU!

My Pal wrote me lots this weekend and I've been out 2 days...

Thanks to writing me, thanks for your patience...

I'll get spoiled !!!! Yu Huuuu!!!!

Kisses and kisses!

I received my Secret Pal !!!

I loved to receive my Pal - just visited the blog - much more better than mine...

As I'm also a new blogger, and very addicted to knitting, I forget to stop by and post on my blog - always reading everybody else's blogs - and forever forgetting mine.

Very anxious to hear new from the Pal who got me!

Welcome to my blog!

And I'm finishing my FMB - soon more pictures to post!
