Although it’s summertime, the sun has been a bit shy so far. For the last couple of weeks, the days seem to alternate between glorious sunshine (and hot weather to match) and cloudy skies (with the matching showers). Needless to say, I needed to make a detour from my original summer sewing plans. So, this… Continue reading Picnic class for summer and a (unexpected) gift
This giveaway is now closed. I was so impressed and love all your comments! (to be honest, I wasn’t really expecting so many comments and was really touched by your sweet words. It does feel amazing to know a bit more about you. Thank you for the sharing!) The winner, selected by random.org, is #31, Runciblespoon who… Continue reading Giveaway winner
Happy New Year!!! No time to look back on any sewing achivements (which were more than I care to admit), yet so looking forward for a whole New Year year of sewing, crafting and sharing 🙂 Inspiration, happiness and love to you all! Thank you for been there! Love, Ana Sofia
December is almost gone! Only a few days before the New Year … The last few weeks have been kind of rollercoaster (try to imagine working a full-time job with 3 children on their holiday break). It has been challenging and most days, my patience would be gone before the morning was over. Answering phone calls… Continue reading Blessed
The last month (ok, the last 6 weeks) have been quite unusual around here. I’ve been travelling a lot (business-related) and family time was needed. I love my work (and I feel very blessed and grateful for it. Believe me, I never take it for granted. Especially in these tough moments) but I know I’m… Continue reading Home (sweet home)
Often, I’m asked why I sew. It’s such a simple, yet not so obvious question to answer. Why would a (busy) mother of three, handling a full-time job would want to sew clothes for her children (considering that I’m not really forced to do it and there are so many other options available) ? After all, sewing handmade clothes… Continue reading Why I sew
Summer holidays ended a couple of weeks ago, but it did took me a while to select a few pictures to share. As usual, it was a great family time for all of us (we enjoyed it even more this year as the kids are getting older) yet we all know it’s time to get back… Continue reading On summer holiday
It’s been really hot around here! Yet, my kid’s love affair with baking is far from ending! Especially in those days when it’s almost impossible to be in the kitchen – or near the oven, for that matter, and baking can’t become a “painful” activity – yet, my “little chefs” still manage to keep their… Continue reading Baking (!) and a plaid dress
In-between assignments, formal events and some sewing … I’ll be back soon with further details on the sweet dress above (probably the last “baby dress” I’ve sewn to my girl. She’s growing up so fast…) Finally, I’m also on Pinterest (as if I needed yet another addiction, I know!). I’m loving my inspiration boards… xo Ana Sofia
Time really does fly! Between work assignments (including a 3-day trip to Sheffield, with lots of rain involved), school work with T (final exams coming soon) and a quick trip to the beach with Miss M and G, the week went pretty fast 😉 Yet, I still managed to squeeze in a quick photo session with my… Continue reading Show me your stash
