Summer: the heat makes me sleepy. I feel like taking naps, but I actually don't take them. The little bugs in this home have energy for all day long. I woke up this morning with my oldest son scratching my back. How great is that? Lots of hugs and kisses and all the birds singing outside make me think and be sure that life is so good. I smile, jump off the bed and see the time. Oh my, it was 10 am. We all woke up at 10 am! Luxuries of a stay at home mum and kids. I am still sleepy. I've been having gorgeous dreams lately. Usually I dream with the beach, crystal water, beautiful waves and butterflies. What makes me really happy about them it's that they all have some sparkles, like fairy dust or something alike...so funny! I had a dream with my grandpa (he died in 1994) another night. He had zillions of tiny and yellow butterflies covering his mouth and when I approached to him, to look closer they started to fly away with all that sparkling fairy star dust!! It wasn't sad or whatsoever. I really dream with my grandpa often. I miss him a lot! He was the best friend I ever had...

I can't wait to see the ocean next month. Hotel is booked, air tickets were bought. I am more than ready to put my toes in that water! I love the beach. I wish to live in California one day. So expensive... I must convince hubby about that, maybe one day, when the economy is good again.

I've been making bags and pouches. Slowly...I am never in a rush. I often like the results, but at the same time lots of projects get ruined, because I am still learning a lot of new things. I don't throw anything out. Last night I spent sometime sorting scraps of fabric. I cut some squares for a possible patchwork...started a cat matrioshka...yep...a cat, a russian cat! Look at me, a brazilian girl making russian cats. That's right. I have brazilian kites to make as decoration for kids' room but I don't know if they will work well or not with fabric, so...let me make them first and if they turn out good looking, I show you.

My succulents are blooming. My cats are fatter than ever and we had lady bugs just for the fun of watching them going crazy to the nature! We bought them at Home Depot. They also sell praying mantis, but in the cocoon.

I've been learning to heart these family moments rather than (outside family) friendships. Not that I consider friendships none important, but the family friendship and bonding between us are the most important for me. Making friends are not as easy anymore like when I was a tween, I feel like that after having kids. My heart is filled with my children, my husband, cats, our home and a craft once in a while. I keep my mind busy all the time.

I heart friendships, but I am really lazy person to make them happen. Speacially online friendships...and, there is nothing wrong with people or with us. Sometimes people just don't fit to our life style, we are so busy and time just goes fast. It's funny how we change after years. Once I would worry very much if people would like me or not. No worries anymore. Take me or leave me, it goes like that!

What a good week. I sent a package full of craft supplies for her. She had a very cool idea and as I had so many things that were in my drawers for so long and no use...so, it was a great and late spring cleaning. I am not sure that she will like what I am sending (style), but I sent it with all my good intentions.

We go hiking, we find lizards, we stop to see the mountains and enjoy the sun! On the photo above you see my husband and my oldest son wearing a brown t-shirt and helmet. We watch Gilmore Girls (that I never watched before) before going to bed and I like it. Ha! I thought I would never like to watch american soap operas, I guess because the language...I would not understand the jokes, slangs...now I get it. Sometimes not. Nothing better than a soap opera to learn a foreign language. Hehe!

I've listed two items to my little shop this week. Go see them!

Have a great Sunday everyone!
