1001 Coisas.: About the blog

1001 Coisas means 1001 things in Portuguese and in time I hope to get to that number of projects completed.

Most of the ideas and creations presented in this blog were born of my needs, because I couldn't find what I wanted already done, and what at first was just a way to solve a problem or a need turned into something more, and today when I need something instead of looking for it on stores I start thinking about how I can create it.

Maybe some of these projects will serve as inspiration for other people, so that they also try to do what they couldn't find.

Because I have varied interests, my projects range from jewelry and sewing pieces to woodwork, transformed objects and furniture, organizers and ideas for recycling, reuse and upcycling of materials.

Because I think it's important to make use of what you have instead of simply discarding and throwing away things, many of the projects presented here started from a material or object that I already had and were transformed to give life to another object, creating something new and avoiding waste.

Some of these projects were created with no recipient in mind, just because I had an idea and wanted to put it into practice, so these things are for sale, if you see something you like, get in touch to find out if it's available or if it's possible to do it by request. And because I like to make and create, especially if it's a challenge, if you have an idea that you don't know exactly how to put into practice, get in touch, who knows if I can help.

I hope to gradually add some ideas, and because I have varied interests and a restless mind, who knows what will come next. Here is a sample of some of my creations.
