Welcome to my new followers

I have to welcome my new followers, I am very happy and I invite all my readers to click in their little photo and visit their blogs, and why not join them as followers too.
I have been very busy at work, as some of you know I am a scientific senior researcher with a PhD in Biotechnology and I work, full time job, in a public research laboratory. Until the 16th of December I am preparing 3 project proposals to a national call, so until then, no time for minis.
I am working even during the week-ends.
A mini hug to everybody

ceramic tiny figures

A few weeks ago I bought these two ceramic figures, in a street market in Lisbon, in the part of antiques (and old stuff). I don´t believe they are really antique, but I like them and they costed me half an euro each.

A mirror was missing....

Last week, when I posted some pictures about the wall papers and fabric for my bedroom furniture set , I remembered that is was nice to have a mirror, and here it is!!!

Wall papers and fabric coordinated

I am creating "a collection" of wall papers and fabrics, matching my own furniture. All were printed in my printer, the fabric is linen, and the paper is a special thin card with a very nice texture, which did work very well.

Do you like it?

a new bed! my furniture for selling

I finally finished a bed that have been making for a while. I just "dress it up" for the picture, for getting a better idea how it looks. I hope you like it.
