Too late to wish a happy new year?

Olá, olá! Quem é vivo sempre aparece. O meu último post neste blog foi há quase um ano, nunca fiquei tanto tempo sem publicar nada. Já devem ter pensado que das duas uma: ou desisti dele, ou desisti de costurar, certo? Pois bem, nem uma nem outra. Sou apenas um ser humano comum que com o tempo encontra outros interesses, quer alcançar outras coisas, ou simplesmente anda tão cansada que falta energia até para as coisas que tem como mais queridas para si. E sejamos sinceros, isto dos blogues leva o seu tempo.

Hello there! Guess who's back? My latest post was nearly a year ago, and this has been as much longer as it's ever been before. You probably thought one out of two: I either gave it up, or I gave up on sewing, right? Well, neither. I'm just a common human being, who hardly finds time for other interests, who wants to make things work, or is just too tired to even care for the things one loves the most. And let's face it, blogging takes time. 

Foi também, faltando cada vez mais, motivação, força de vontade para principalmente documentar as coisas que ia fazendo. Não deixei de costurar por completo. Isso sim, costurei muito menos em 2019 que em todos os anos anteriores. Mas a máquina continua montada e pronta a usar sempre que necessário.

My motivations was also facing some of its worst days, especially when it came to document the things I was sewing. I haven't put sewing aside, not at all, but I did sew much less in 2019 than I did in all those previous years. Though my machine is still set and ready for me to use any time I feel like. 

Para além das poucas peças que costurei no último ano, basicamente dediquei-me a um desafio que já tinha acompanhado em 2018. O ano passado, decidi então participar também quando o voltei a ver em 2019. Chama-se #365 Block Project e consistia em costurar um bloco em patchwork por cada dia do ano, usando apenas pequenos retalhos. Eu escolhi usar todos os retalhos (sobras) que tinha, em vez dos sólidos, como a autora se desafio. Vejam mais imagens deste desafio AQUI. Na foto alguns dos meus blocos. 

Besides the few little thing I made last year, I basicly focused on a challenge that I had been following back in 2018. I decided to play along too, as I saw it back in 2019. It's the #365blockproject and it was about sewing a patchwork block every single day of the year, using only small scraps from our stash. I chose to use all of my scraps, instead of the solid ones only, as the author from the challenge. You can follow this HERE. In the picture, some of my blocks. 


Ando com muita vontade de costurar ultimamente, mas tem-me sido ultra difícil decidir o que costurar. Ideias não faltam, mas na hora de começar, acho sempre que deveria fazer outra coisa qualquer. Desde que me mudei para esta casa, as ganas para a costura têm sido postas à prova. Deixei de ter o meu espaço próprio para o efeito. Quando antes tinha todo um quarto para a costura, agora tenho tudo arrumado por vários cantos da casa, e fora da vista. Isso desmotiva na hora de criar. Sou daquelas pessoas que criativamente falando, funciona melhor no caos. 

I've been itching a lot to get back into sewing, but it has been a hard come back. I'm not really shorts on ideas, but everytime time I tried to start something, right away I find myself thinking I should be sewing something else instead. Ever since I moved to this house, my sewing mood has been declining. I no longer have a sewing room. I used to have an entire room for myself, but now I have my stash away in several different places of the hose, and out of sight. That ends all my motivation when I think about creating. I am one of those people who creates better in caos. 

Hoje não tenho muito para mostrar, é mais blá blá blá que outra coisa, mas queria publicar isto antes de começar a partilhar as peças que costuro com o mundo outra vez. Este post estava em rascunho desde o início do ano, não queria que se perdesse. 

Today there isn't much to show, it's more blah blah blah than anything else, but I still wanted to post this sort of disclusure before I start sharing my me mades again. This one has been on draft since the new year started, and I didn't want to lose it.
