Not allowed, or is it?

 And today it happened!

Mateus got into the sofa while we were out and Lara and Missanga were there!

I have a dream, I think I said it here before, that the cats and Mateus are good together. They don’t seem totally relaxed, but, hey, they are together sleeping in one space! Amazing!

But, unfortunately, the sofa is a non area for Mateus.

Let’s see, maybe next time the cats go to his bed. That would be awesome!

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!

Blessed curtains

 Yes, I know I have been talking a lot about curtains, but in all extreme sunny days I can’t not be grateful for all the curtains in our house!

It makes such a difference!

Baby plants




 It’s so easy to grow and maintain these plants in the Tiny House! It’s the perfect environment!

I cut some leafs, put them in water and now it’s just waiting time until the roots grow (normally it takes only one day!). After I will put them in new pots with soil and more plants are going to beautify our amazing Tiny House!

Finished curtains

 There were only missing the white inside curtains in the bedroom, and here they are now!

Very easily done, with the fabric that once belonged to dancers in our wedding day, I just created a folded edge so I could put a string made of rubber and metal (esticador) and attached it to the edges of the windows with a small metal attachment (camarão).

With this full moon, no light is entering in the bedroom. Now the windows are complete!

Viva a Primavera e as chuvas mil de Abril.

Plants

 Ah, the beauty of plants multiplying!

These beauties are spreading more and more.

Beautiful plants and beautiful house with them here. 


Having all these plants in the house brings so much to it and to us.

It’s having nature inside that supports the balance of well being.

It’s a joy to take care of them and to be taken care by them.

David’s birthday

 For David’s birthday and and to respond to his coffee passion, I decided to stitch a coffee cup with a Portuguese popular word. You just ask for a cafézinho when in a coffee shop!

It’s another add in the kitchen area, but still not in the final place!

I loved making this surprise for him.

Plants growing

 It always amazes me when I look to the pots and suddenly there is a new something. I call them babies, as there are sprouts coming when one least expects it!

It’s quite amazing and showing me that life keeps moving, that when one cares for the plants they respond back.

I can’t wait to have cuttings from these plants so I can multiple them and have more pots!

Addicted? No, just fascinated by nature!

Plants outside

 So happy that we can have plants inside and outside of the house!

This one is “arruda” and it’s the perfect one to have at the entrance!

Happy Spring!
