Husbands really can be such a mixed blessing. Oh yes they can, but mine is coming in rather handy at the moment. It is his Spanish side (Mother) that is proving useful, as he is able to decipher my growing number of Spanish speaking contacts. He can also work out a little Portuguese, or at least tell me when it is this.
It seems that much of the craft/arts of these countries is so vibrant, colourful and fun. Since I don't really know much more than this I plan to research this area in the New Year. Even if I can only get as far as my computer!
My husband is also half-Irish. I'm sure this heritage will come in handing somewhere down the track??

Hi Asheyzita it's great to hear from you. If it is O.K I'll contact you in the New Year to find out more about your work and that of other Portuguese crafters.
Those translation tools seem to be getting better.
Mr Plastic is handy for emailing back a response.
Hi! I've just discovered your work and I think it's amazing! I just loove your brooches! I'm a crafter from Portugal too... :)
