Book Haul - Book Fair

Olá,

decidi voltar a escrever também em português, percebi que escrever só em inglês estava a bloquear-me, e eu, que já de mim não sou muito dada a grandes conversas, estava a escrever cada vez menos.

Ultimamente tenho sido muito pouco produtiva, a quantidade de coisas para fazer é cada vez maior e a vontade de as fazer é inversamente proporcional. Mas quanto menos faço mais triste me sinto, por isso estou numa espiral.
Partilhei isso com uma pessoa que me disse que podia tentar começar por fazer alguma coisa de que gostasse, que não parecesse uma obrigação e talvez assim conseguisse voltar a produzir.
Sobre esta última parte não sei, mas a verdade é que no passado sábado olhei para a pilha de livros que comprei este ano na Feira do Livro e que ainda não tinha arrumado e decidi fazer um vídeo para mostrar os novos tesouros que fazem agora parte da minha - ainda pequena colecção.

E foi divertido.


Hello,

I decided to restart writting in portuguese and translating it later because writting originally in english as it's not my main language and it's rusty so I always ended up writting a lot less than I wanted.

Lately I haven't been that productive. I have so many things to do that my will to them is close to none. But the less I do the sadder I feel, so it's a spiral, really.
I shared this with someone how told me that I could start by doing something that didn't feel like an obligation and that maybe that way I could restart being productive.
About that last part I still don't know yet but the truth is that last saturday I looked at this pile of books I bought at this years Book Fairand decided to make a video showing the new treasures that are now part od my little collection.
And it was fun to make.

June Calendar

Hello there!

I really shouldn't blog only when the month begins and there's another calendar to share. In the last month I had little internet access, so there's that. Hopefully june will be better post wise.

Anyway, about this months calendar I totally forgot about it till may 30th, but here it is!
So it's june and half of the calendar illustrations are done. It actually feels great to realize that I was able to do it for six months, only six more to go. 
What is also great is the feedback I've been getting, there is a lot more people using my calendar than I ever expected, so that makes me happy...
Hopefully you'll find this calendar funny and it will make you happy too.
Enjoy!
