It´s here!

Yay, January issue of "We´re in Panama!" is now out. As usual, you can download it free here. Please leave a comment telling me what you liked - or didn´t!

Have a great weekend! We´re heading to the beach for the weekend with a group of friends. Have fun!

Almost!

This week I´ve been frantically working on the January issue of "We´re in Panama!"

I had a late start, with Christmas vacation in Portugal, but now it´s almost, almost ready. This issue is made with freehand embroidery on paper, and it will be available... hopefully before January is over!

"We´re in Panama!" #7, the moisture issue, is here!

The December issue, dealing with those (bad) mouldy surprises we´ve been having, is here! Download it here, it´s free!

Please leave a comment or send me an e-mail with your stories and photos reading it. It´s always a pleasure to know how you enjoy and explore it! Thank you.

Links to previous issues are right there on the sidebar. Enjoy!

All work and play

I think that the best part of my work is that so many times it feels just like play. I´m now working on the December issue of my e-zine but stamping all these words just make them look and feel so much better.

Issue #6 of "We´re in Panama!"

November issue of "We´re in Panama!" is now online! As usual, it´s free to download, and you can find it here. Print it out and enjoy it!

I love receiving all your comments and e-mails, so this month I´ll be raising the feedback bar: I´m preparing a presentation about my e-zine and want to include photos of readers - of you. Please send me your images of you, your kids, your friends reading this e-zine, or this e-zine travelling to different parts of the globe. The best images will be included in the presentation!

Oh, I can´t wait!

Enjoy reading it!

Buenos Aires revisited

Going back to Buenos Aires felt a bit like going home. I needed to get a haircut, to visit my osteopath, buy some buttons (as if there were no buttons in Panama) and go to my favourite restaurants.





I didn´t visit one single museum - but I walked and walked, sat under the blooming jacarandas and took my sketchbook out to draw.



I had tea with friends, making up for a social life I still don´t have in Panama. I realized, those ties and friendships I created there were thicker and deeper than I had thought.

I saw Christmas decorations (this is end of November, already?) and felt cold, after six months of hot, humid weather. There was cold wind and sleeping with a blanket, hot sun and lots of blooming roses at the Rosedal de Palermo.



There was the girl in Osaka who recognized us and helped us with an off the menu request - she made me happier than she knows. As if it weren´t enough, I bought myself a good, solid portion of choc-salt cookies. And for once the lack of coins served my purpose: change was given in cookies. Oh, yum!



After five days of walking, feeling, experiencing a return to a city where I lived, where I was happy (and unhappy too), where I met so many new friends and met a new me, I came back to my new home in Panama. We´ll see where this ride takes us.



(Guess who came along?



Oh yeah.)

An issue with clouds

An issue of "We´re in Panama!", that is! This time around it´s all about the clouds in the sky during this (very) rainy season. Check it out here!

You know how it works: download it, print it, fold it and comment! Or better still: send me a picture of your copy of the zine in the wild!

Clouds, clouds, clouds

Among other projects - in the middle of them, in the little spaces between them - I´ve been working on the October´s issue of my e-zine "We´re in Panama!" (links to previous issue on your right).

It´s amazing how much one project can bring fun and joy to a work´s day!

Happy sight

Poor lightning, crappy photo, happy sight.

You can catch them all here.

Yay! "We´re in Panama"´s issue four is now out!

As usual, it´s free to download. Print it and fold it and you´re ready to go!

You can send me an email, comment below, or use the tiny facebook button below to share it there; bottom line is: just spread the word!


P.S.: If you´ve missed any of the previous issues, you can find them here: August, July, June.

E-zine´s August issue is out!

To make your monday a sweeter, here´s a link to this month´s issue of the e-zine "We´re in Panama!"

I´m enjoying working on my zine so much, that sometimes find myself thinking about new themes for upcoming issues, about what new materials I want to try or just connecting new and inspiring information I find in everyday and making into a possible zine format. This is fun - a lot of work too, of course, but basically, fun.

What is best about the zine is to receive your comments, so please write to me and tell me what you liked - or didn´t!

To check out previous issues, click here: July, June.
Have fun!
