WIP - Beret

Finally it stopped raining, but it is too cold to us. The temperature is about 13° C and the sun came out! It is so cold that I have to wear mittens and a hat to keep warm outside.
My hands are tough to knit, maily after wash the dishes. So, I have to warm them before knitting, but the weather is perfect for this activity. While knitting I'm watching "Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch on tv. I'm a big fan of hers! She is definitely great!!
I haven't taken pictures because my mobile is so bad and the quality is very poor. However,  I have some old pictures to post.
Wishing you a lovely weekend!

The baby was born and we gave the presents. He is so cute!

Wishing you a lovely weekend!

Almost finished! 

The man is working outdoor on the 4th floor. Although it is very dangerous,  he is always smiling. God bless him!

I love to take picturs of trams!

New Project

I decided to post on Saturdays and this way I will not be so absent to post and visit bloggers friends.

Here it's the cake I've made on my daughter's birthday. It's a sponge cake with pinapple and coconut fillings, or your preference filling. On the top there are chocolate truffle or the Brazilian Brigadeiro.

My daughter asked me to make a hat for a trip she is going to take. So, after weeks looking for a pattern i finally found one that I liked and it is not difficult to knit.

Meanwhile I have made my first panettone,  but the yeast isn't good and it didn't double as expected. This is the first time Imake this recipe, so if i like it i am going to post the recipe. Unfortunately I have to remake it with a good yeast.

This is the hotel my gramma worked in the 1920's. Atlântico Hotel in Santos.

I took this photo when there was an exbition of old cars in Santos. This car is beautiful!

Baby Sweater and Booties

I've been working lately to finish my present and the orders. Things are hard and besides teaching, I make crafts as well. But the baby sweater and the booties are for a present.
But tomorrow is a special day. It's my daughter'so birthday andinner I have been buying the ingredients for a cake. Well, I'm not a good at making cakes and a friend of mine gave me tips for it. I hope it will be good tomorrow.  Wishing you a once week!

Happy Mother's day

A New Challenge

Hello Everyone, I would like to share with you a new challenge with you. Many of you are or were a teacher, so maybe you can share your opinion about my concern. As you know I'm a teacher, a tutor who works at home. I have a student who is hyperactive or simply this is an excuse to say I don't care about studying English.  I think this is an excuse to hide a 13-year-old spoiled girl. I wish I could have this chance when I was young. A person who pays a teacher to help in her difficult subject. If I were her I certainly would want to face this trouble to feel a winner, but this didn't happen. I made everything to be a good teacher: games, songs, power point aids, speaking but this student refuses to be helped. I made a board game to help speaking and she loved it, but I cannot only play in class.

This week she started being standing and said she is hyperactive. What else can I do? This is a challenge that I want to win. 

Well, my knitting is going slow, but I didn't give up. I had to redo twice. 

Thanks in advance. Your opinion is welcomed. Wishing you a great time, Sandra xxx
