Amazing Gorilla Encounter

Animal instincts never cease to amaze me.

I found this video early this week and I thought it would be great to share it. The story behind it is this one:

"In the African jungle, conservationist Damian Aspinall searches for Kwibi, a lowland gorilla he hasn't seen for 5 years. Kwibi grew up with Damian at his Howletts Wild Animal Park in England. When he was five, he was released into the forests of Gabon, West Africa as part of conservation programme to re-introduce gorillas back into the wild. Now Kwibi's 10 years old, much bigger and stronger. Will Damian find him? Will Kwibi attack him?"





I hope you´ve enjoyed the video and have a wonderful weekend!

Tomorrow Will Be A Better Day...

A friend sent me these funny thoughts and pictures and I would like to share them with you.
I hope they will cheer you up if you are having a not so good day :)

If your days starts...

-With problems to get out of the bed,


-You just woke up but your neck hurts,

-Your hair is messy and there is no way to fix it,

-Your diet is not going so well as you expected,

-You need some strechings to feel better,

-The hat you bought yesterday looked better in the shop,

-You can´t remembere where you put important things,

-You went out and started to rain,

-The food you ate wasn´t good at all,

-You find yourself stucked,

-Some last minute guest for dinners complicates your day,



-You feel a little sick,

-You go to bed and hear strange noises in the basement,

Think tomorrow can be a better day!

I hope you liked it :)

Have a wonderful weekend!

My Creative Space: Fabrics

Today on my creative space, I would like to share a peek of a new, kind of secret, project. Well, most of my friends already know what this is about but I´d like to keep it as a "mistery" until it is finished.

What you are seeing are fabrics and a pincushion I bought from the lovely Swiedebie.

Strange And Funny Hats: Part I

This week I would like to show you some funny, strange and also amazing hats I found.
A good hat is a great accessory and also could be a statement of style.

Many of the hats shown here are from the Lady´s Day in Royal Ascot Horserace, England. They are very original and garish.

And if here some ideas if you´d like your pet to look like a Royal Ascot attendant on Lady´s Day, aren´t these lovely? :)

I hope you liked these hats and don´t miss the second part next week! :)
