A sweet award from Turtle

Turtle, my awesome, creative magickal friend, honored me with this award, I loved it! :o)

A place to grow
Lucas loved having even more space (as if we neede it...) to run:
We're starting to plant flowers and ornamental plants on the front area, that is so bare. Rodrigo will clean and level the place where I want my elemental garden to be, I-just-can't-wait! I work my patience, though, because I know how hard he's been working lately with the coffee harvest, waking up at 6am everyday. I'll take some photos of the coffee beans spread on my inlaw yard, put to dry. It's a long process until it is sold...

Our altars
Oh yes, I forgot telling you guys: Remember I said my camera was broken again? Guess what... I'm even ashamed to say... I simply forgot replacing batteries... How beautiful is this? LOL I'm REALLY getting old! Thank gods it was just this, though...
And here is the dreamboard he made when Misquim left. I wanted to submit it to Jamie, but with the camera incident, I couldn't. He wrote in Portuguese "Misquim, happy", saying he didn't want anything else this month to wish. O f course it almost killed me:
Oh, by the way, as Turtle asked some time ago: We will keep our bedrooms altars, and on sabbaths and esbats, we'll perform our rituals on the kitchen table, specially prepared when the time comes. I can't think of any other place to do it, kitchens are so magickal in my opinion, it's perfect. So we'll decorate the table for the special dates, and make more personal rituals on our little altars in the rooms. Many rituals will be performed outside, during the day, but in the evening, while it's this cold, no way! :o)
This is my old little altar that I arranged on my bedroom while I don't have a proper space (meaning while my inlaw doesn't built a nice shelf under the mirror!):
One thing upsets me here concerning my magical side: incenses, oils and candles are a rarity around here! There are only very sweet fruit incenses, that I hate (they let me sick), no good oils, and the richaud candles I love using, nowhere to find them! Luckly mom went to Sao Paulo last weekend, where my sister lives (it'1s the first time she visits her there after three years living in SP! Claudia would kill mom if she visited me first place! LOL), and I begged her to buy as much as she can - in Sao Paulo everthing is found, much cheaper even than in Rio - sandal, oak, lavender, musk, etc incenses, and small candles in all color. Claudia will be my trader from now on! :o) Of course I can use (and I am!) the stick candles (again, here there are only the white color), but gods know why I prefer the richaud type.

Photos at last! Part 1

We still don't have a proper place to store our food and stuff (everything was built-in in Rio's apartment), so our old iron shelves are very handy right now:


Our family room, empty for the lack of book shelves (I miss them around!), with only our sofa and TV so far. As soon we have money, I'll buy cloths to make curtains and cushions:

Kisses from the country gang!

No photos yet...
I'm slowly getting into this new routine of being entirely for my house, not needing to worry about being late for work and vice-versa. It's something completely new for me, since I work outside full-time since I was 17! It's a pleasure to take care of little details, to plan meals, keep things in good order and feel connected with Nature around me (although Baruck is trying my patience leaving "little presents" at Lucas' bed the other day, and also this morning at our sofa. Seems like he's confused about this new place, I don't know... It's just disgusting to find those... masses of "digested food" around twice the same week). Rodrigo leaves everyday early in the monrning for the coffee harvest in the chilli hours! I stay in bed just a little bit longer, then my day starts.
By the way!!! Thank you so much for all the great comments about our cold weather! Loved reading everyhint you friends said. 12ºCelsius is the average temperature sometimes reaching 10ºC, which IS REALLY COLD for our standards! We do want to install an inside roof next year before Autumn starts, because it would really be hard to deal with this every year (Holly, be sure we are really warm here and only one couple of seasons will be fine fo rus to stand! Thank you for your concern, girl!). So we'll start saving some money, gods know how! :o) IN the end everything finds the right way to happen, so I'm relaxed (or almost). Thanks you for the support and lovely words.
Oh, I plan to make a pagan garden somewhere at our place, and I found this at Patti Wigington's newsletter: http://paganwiccan.about.com/od/lithathesummersolstice/ss/ElementalGarden.htm . How cool! Exactly what I wanted. I'll start making this this weekend if everything goes well.
Well, gotta go now, and I hope next Monday I manage to post the photos I took during the weekend! *sigh* Another test for my anxiety, I guess... See you then! Have a beautiful week, thread your dreams gently in the meantime.

Six things that make me happy
Miss Yves, this intriguing, sweet and clever friend, tagged me for this fun. How could I resist?!
- Going to sleep in our brand-new beautiful bed, which finally arrived last Friday, after much "ggrrrrrr" at the phone with the seller... It has clean lines, a gorgeous tobacco color and big enough for me, my hubby and our witch boy.
- Arranging our clothes inside our brand-new beautiful wardrobe, which finally arrived, last Friday, etc, etc, etc... Everything is in place, well organized the way I like it! The bedroom looks so cute with it!
- Waking up with my little boy jumping over me, saying his sleepy "good morning, mom", followed by Baruck, Misqüin the kitty (he was supposed to be Zen, but Lucas had a better name for him...). It's being waken up by pure love...
- Start the day by making our breakfast at our new kitchen, under Hestia's protective look from her frame, and enjoying the first morning sounds from Nature - including Ringo's barks demanding to get in too!
- Working hard all day with hubby to put things in place in Da House, although we still have plenty to do! Bit by bit, this house is becoming more and more like a home.
- One of the best things: making our own meals again at our brand-new oven! It was great to have these months of "holidays", but I was missing it sooooo much! What's a witch without her kitchen, and her cooking tools? It has always been a pleasure to prepare meals, imagining what to do, and mixing spices. It's an act of love, and a magickal art too, of course!
Now, tagging six friends - you all know how hard this is to me! But here it goes - remember you don't HAVE to join, only if you want to! I tag Tori, Bohemian Mom, Miss B., Patty, Janet and Suzie. Have fun! :o)

A great page!
Still talking about natural recipes, I stumbled upon this cool page with tons of beauty natural recipes. I will collect them and try some, to see how good they are (or not). But it worths a look:
Homemade Beauty Recipes. If you try any of them, let me know your opinion!!
