Vitral

 Today David finished putting the wood edges around the vitral.

Finished! Right before the rain coming. 

The entrance of the Tiny House, when the sun light goes through the vitral is quite magical! We are so blessed for our friend Sara and her present of glass art made with so much love. Definitely brought so much not only to the house but to our lives here!



Deixa a magia entrar janela dentro.
Que mostre a magia que já existe.
Que deixe ver a verdade de uma vida colorida.
De pássaro em pássaro.
De asa em asa.
De liberdade pura.
De liberdade.
Do ser livre.
Do ser infinito.
Da iluminação de uma realidade que não é paralela.
Que só se vê através de plantas, de magia de seres que vivem noutras terras.
A magia é magia, se tu te entregares a ela, sete deixares penetrar por ela.
Só assim a podes expressar.
Quando perceberes que não és mais do que essa magia.
A magia não mora fora de ti.
Olha-te bem e vê estas cores em ti, nessas assaque te movem e nos voos que fazes.
Sentes a liberdade?
Vives a liberdade?

“Ode aos pássaros luminosos que moram na janela da nossa Tiny House, nas escadas da entrada para o quarto em loft”

It looks so beautiful and the light that comes through is unbelievably magical!

New bathroom?

We started the work of preparation for a worming compost toilet for the bathroom in the tiny house!

So happy about this!

With the help of Shiv, we could transport the big tank into place, make a base and cover it properly.

First steps done! The rest will follow!

What? A new window?

 This window vision started so long ago that we don’t recall all the details,  but from what we remember, David asked Sara (a very good friend of ours and a very talented artist) to turn a small window into something beautiful that could look like a stain glass. David imagined something like a mandala and I thought at the time of a rose or something related to that.

At the end, we just said to Sara that we trusted her and that she could create something that she felt it would be the right thing for the Tiny House.

She called it “Afecto” - affection in Portuguese.

How beautiful is it?

One of the windows that I love the most here has been transformed into something even more alive and it is going to give so much to this beautiful, warm and homey place.

A bit of today and some pictures of other days

It has been a pleasure to live and to work in the house.

It is so big, at least for me, as we have been living in very tiny places together. So, just the fact that I can lay the yoga mat on the floor and have space to do all the poses it's quite something! And of of these days, I even had the company of litle I., in her small mat.



Curtains on the making today. These were taken few weeks before: measurements for the curtains and the first picture I sent it to David so he could brainstorm with me - long or short curtain?



 Lunch time was like this before, small table for me and friends:




 But now, the game changed! AH! We can actually eat at the table! Amazing Glen, the carpenter, a friend of ours made it. 




 Did I say already that Lara and Missanga have been enjoying the Tiny House so much? right at this moment, they are here, on the sofa with me, fighting some flys, but enjoyinh the sun.



 And I continue to watch our natural TV:



Do you remember the wine boxes that I showed you yesterday? Well, with one of them I made something to surprise David, since he is in India and coming back next week. Because he loves coffee, we talked about creating a small coffee "altar" or special place. And I did it! With some mistakes in the midle, like putting the box up instead of lying down! I got completely disctracted I guess! I was taking care of I. on that day, maybe that's why :-). But, no problem at all, as I could put it the other way around. The thing is that I have to small holes on the wall. What to do with them? Is there something that we can cover them with, like a paste?







These pots were giving to me by a couple of dear friends, Lotte and Floris. The pots are made in Portugal and I am planning on doing some macramé hanger to put them in the living room area, next to the green lamps. Stay tuned!




I went to Tábua, to Supermaco, to buy some metal pieces so I can put the curtains in place. As you can see, the original color was golden, but, with the paint that I used in the bedroom mandala, I painted them, so everything matches! It looks perfect and they are on the walls already. 

 

 I started the day today by painting whit white spray the old steps from the BUS:




That's it for today. Hope today I can finish the curtains and I'll show you then what I used for the curtain rails.

Wish you all a lovelly day.
