FELT OWL PLUSHIES

I guess is Baby Boom around here or... Am I in the age for babies? Well the fact is that all my closest college friends are pregnant or have babies, also my australian cousin and other people I know. Just my girl friends don't even think about it and I'm so glad because I feel I'm not the only one.

Instead of buying baby gifts for my college friends and cousin I decided to make something handmade myself, because I put all the efford and love on them and is something unique, they deserve all the time spent on this.

I never worked with felt before so this project was challeging and slow. But I'm so into felt right now, I started a new addiction and can't wait to make cats, butterflies and other lovely animals.

BUNDI FESTIVAL IN INDIA

SHANTI FAVORITES #1

This is a new feature in the blog (I know, I know, another one... I have many interests, too much to share!) about my favorite Images, Do It Yourself Projects, Bands, Blog Posts, Cool Events, Movies, etc. etc. etc. 

I'd love to start doing this every week but cannot promise anything... when you compromise yourself in your blog you have to do it and I don't want to feel that preasure right now. 

This is a pretty awesome organic carpet, sounds like a great plan when you want to lay down in the park and don't have a carpet on you. But then you need palm trees around you :) [does anyone know the source of this?]

VINTAGE SHELVES MAKEOVER DIY

I always dreamed about a small before/after DIY project so I'm super happy to share my latest craft project! It includes a small bookshelf I found in the trash for 2 years and a delicious vintage fabric I found in a flea market for more then 5 years, finally I had the guts to cut it off (auuuchhh).

VOLUNTEERING IN TIPI ALGARVE

 During the month of June I was a bit lost, didn't want to find a 9-5 job, didn't want to travel so why not do some volunteer work? I told you here before, my life dream is to own a youth hostel so I thought I could look for volunteer work in a hostel, so I can understand how does it work and if it's exactly what I want for my life.

All the hostels I contacted in Amsterdam were full already so I started looking in Portugal and mostly didn't reply so I started looking for a place I'd feel connected with nature. That's when I found Tipi Algarve! This is a completly new concept of tourist accomodation for me. The spot is in the middle of nature but you have both Portimão and Silves cities about 10 kms away, which makes you feel you're not isolated. The tipis outside are gorgeous and inside are glamourous! Sam knows how to decorate and mix colors, it's so cozy inside them. Hopefully I will show you more pictures of tipi's indoors.

WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO [JUNE 1ST]

Happy Children's Day everyone! Yes, everyone because every single person has an inner child right? I hope so. Look at my lil' pet brothers, the (adorable) children of the family. Love youuu!
