Vive la France II: Capucine
Não a modelo e actriz dos anos 60, mas sim uma adorável menina francesa a quem os Americanos já chamam Amélie Jr.
Encontrado pelo Papá na Jezebel, de que saliento um dos comentários:
«Note to self: reproduce with a francophone. Have adorable babies.»

Só para dizer que a nossa Ervilha Cor-de-Rosa participou no livrinho Softies (infra), e participa noutros de que nos conta no seu blogue.
E descobri esta maravilha, graças a quem me ofereceu o Coelhinho para o Lucas e o símbolo da nossa união umbilical (infra, pois):

Viva o Feltro / an heartfelt ode to Felt
Softies -- Stirred by the Japanese craze for plush toys called "softies," veteran crafter Therese Laskey commissioned acclaimed artists from around the world to create projects to share. From Japan to Israel to Chile to Texas, each artist brings a wicked sense of fun to the 25 cute, weird, edgy, or artful creations offered here: a cupcake pincushion; delicate snow bunnies; a peculiar robot; and many more quirky creatures. Cheeky photos, easy instructions, and ready-to-use pattern sheets make it a cinch to whip up these irresistible gifts. Best of all, a folder at back holds the patterns while spiral binding makes for craft-friendly use.
The Softies Kit -- A follow-up to our book, Softies, this kit features patterns and instructions for creating 15 outrageously cute plush toys, including 10 brand-new projects and all the ingredients for making a delicious felt Party Cake!

Trava-línguas / Tongue Twister, Jawbreaker
TRAVA-LÍNGUAS, de Dulce de Souza Gonçalves (Recolha) e Madalena Matoso (Ilustração)Manter o carácter universal e além-fronteiras dos trava-línguas, abrindo as portas à troca de experiências sonoras, é uma das grandes intenções deste livro.
Nele se apresentam um conjunto de trava-línguas nas suas línguas originais — português, espanhol, italiano, francês e inglês — dando-nos a conhecer personagens tão divertidas como a “cabra traga trapos”, o “papa papão” ou os talvez menos soletrados “pauvre petit pêcheur” ou “Paquito que empaca copitas”.
O nível de dificuldade não é homogéneo e, para o final, são deixados os exemplares mais difíceis, especialmente dedicados aos linguarudos (ou seja, aos leitores que já dominam bem estas artes). Veja-se este: “Trentatré trentini entrarono a Trento tutti trentratré troterellando”...
Não se julgue, porém, que este é um livro cheio de desafios impossíveis. Muito pelo contrário...
Para abordar, atacar e dominar todos estes trava-línguas não é preciso ter um sotaque perfeito, nem é sequer obrigatório compreender o que está a ser dito (se assim for, melhor). O que interessa aqui é saborear os sons, sentir os SSS’s, os P’s e os XXXX’s e dar aos leitores a possibilidade de caminhar por paisagens sonoras que não são habitualmente as suas.
Para além da particularidade de ser um livro multilingue, para meninos e crescidos de todas as idades e nações, este é um livro diferente por outra razão: por ser todo ele, de uma ponta à outra, construído com letras.
Através de um alfabeto criado em carimbos especialmente para este livro, as letras unem-se ou separam-se para formar linhas, manchas e figuras, procurando destacar o mundo sonoro trazido pelos trava-línguas aqui apresentados.
«10 Things I Should Have Done When I Brought My Baby Home»
[my thoughts exactly, apart from the changing table - my back thanks me for it - and the baby-sitting dog - because we have a cat... nuff said - and the pacifier - either that already or relinquishing my pinky]
1) When people came to my door I should have accepted the food. I should have pretended my stitches hurt really bad so I could have got cupcakes.
2) When people offered to clean my house, I should have accepted. I never liked cleaning the bathroom anyways.
3) When people offered to babysit so I could sleep, I should have accepted. There’s nothing like sleeping the afternoon away.
4) When my husband offered to feed the baby during the night, I should have accepted. Then he could hear me snoring while he’s up with the baby.
5) When people offered to change the baby for me, I should have accepted. Why not, that will be one less poopy diaper on my grand total of the million I would have changed in the years ahead.
6) I should have never used the change table. They are useless. You can’t keep them unsupervised for one second. That’s what they made floors for…and they are free.
7) I should have let my baby use the pacifier. There is nothing like waiting in a Boxing Day line only to have to leave it because your baby will only nurse.
8 ) I should have bought more than one bouncy chair. Those chairs are multi-purpose. If the baby is fussy you can throw him in it. If he’s hungry, throw him in there and feed him. If you want to watch Ellen, throw him in there and let him watch too.
9) I should have taught my dog to babysit. There’s nothing like making your dog watch the baby. Teach him to bark when he thinks something wrong. That way you will be able to get in that time to email your friend.
10) The thing that I should have listened to is…”Sleep when your baby sleeps.” They say this for a reason. Mom’s aren’t supposed to be awake for 24 hours. We are not doctors. We need sleep. I need sleep. I should have relaxed more and did that. The housework will be there tomorrow, but will your sanity be?
