Fada Moranga loves Little Princess!



The Little Princess is just like any other four year old.
She's shy, exuberant and boisterous in turns.
However, when she is cranky or distracted, she is uniquely herself !

Blog Action Day: Pingu teaches about Climate Change!



Planet Earth is getting hotter!
How does this affect you and your friends?
How does this affect penguins?

Pingu, the 5 year old penguin, shows you how.





In the episode we see Pingu’s environment deteriorate and Pingu is washed out to sea.

”Save Pingu” is a campaign aimed at children (5-9 y/0). It educates children about the issues of climate change in an entertaining, interactive and engaging way, and encourages them to help. With the children’s help, Pingu will be saved!

Unfortunately the link http://www.savepingu.com is not working.

The children would have had to complete 7 tasks, each with an environmentally friendly twist, to save Pingu. Each task completed improved Pingu’s environment. When all tasks had been completed they would have saved Pingu and unlocked a special episode where he was back to his normal, mischievous self.



Saving Pingu would have been a wonderful thing but you can still go to his official site and have loooots of fun:

Fada Moranga loves treehouses!



Choosing a Tree for a Tree House

The first step to having your own tree house is choosing a tree or trees (some tree houses span two or three trees).

Take a walk around your garden and consider wether you prefer your tree house hidden or visible. How close are your neighbours? Think about who will use the tree house -- adults or kids.

Tree houses for kids should be kept close to the ground. The perfect tree for a tree house is not too young, not too old and must be healthy. Apple, oak, ash, fir and beech are some good choices.

Fada Moranga loves FarmVille!


My loyal friend, the tractor!


Watermelon... Yummy!!!


Drop by for a nice cup of tea. And cookies!





Farmville is a game you play 'inside' your Facebook account.
You are given a small plot of green land to grow vegetables and raise farm animals. Each plant has it's own growth rate from 2 hrs to several days, then you harvest the crops, sell them for cash and buy more goodies like fruit trees, animals, buildings, decorations...

Try it! And add me as your neighbour!


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Yes, I sell fresh produce!

Cabbage, one of my favourite crops

Doodle Birdie!


Doodle Bird Designs

“My name is Patricia Buzo, and I am owned by my perfect little feathered baby Nani - a Black Headed Caique parrot."


"I have loved to create things for as long as I can remember. However, others have not always appreciated my "creations". For example, as a child I just loved to decorate my walls with elaborate crayon drawings. For some reason my parents didn't find them as beautiful as I did. Or there was my sewing phase, when one my mom's dresses had the perfect fabric for that doll blanket I was making. I couldn't understand why she was so upset, I mean the hole wasn't THAT big.

As I got older, though, my artistic abilities were encouraged and I attended a local art school through much of my high school years. I'm sort of a jack of all trades. I do murals, small scale paintings, assemblages, collages, cards, wood carving, and so on.

I have owned my own mural painting business for 8 years, but now I am taking my art back to my "roots", doing smaller scale paintings of subject matter that inspire me.

I took Nani home in July of 2008. Nani has brought with her the gifts of song, love, and laughter brightening every day. She has been an inspiration for me to keep on doing what I love: creating something that will bring a little joy to someone else.”

Boopsie Daisy!



Boopsie Daisy

“My name is Missy: Cheeky monkey, scribbler, screwball, clutterbug, night owl, nerd and crybaby.

I love belly laughter, books, light cast by birthday candles, and when I die I'd like to come back as a corset. I have 2 beautiful babies, Ashton and Sadie, the little candy apples of my eye. My husband is my oxygen, my children are my vitamins, and friendship is the fuel of my existence.


I live in pigtails, go to work in my pajamas, and swear that chocolate milk runs through my veins. In short, you could sum me up by saying I have a cluttered heart, my head in the clouds, and a crush on every god damn thing that moves. :)


I'm a small town girl who'll probably always be happy staying close to home, but if I were still single and not already blissfully tied down to the husband of my wildest dreams and the disgustingly perfect kids we produced, I'd pack my bags and live like a gypsy.

I really feel conscious every moment of how fast life moves and quick it can end so from the second I get out of bed every morning to the minute I lay my head on the pillow at night I try to do as much living and loving as I can, right down to each sentence I write or way I wear my hair.


I like to consider myself Buddhist, but I believe in God and just about everything else. The simple Buddhist lifestyle and mind frame is my ultimate goal, though as someone with such a scattered mind who acquires new mental and material junk each day, I've a long way to go for that.

I rarely ever buy clothes new and collect everything from vintage squeak toys to bizarre or striking images from magazines for my journals, collages, and insatiable greed for beauty. Besides my family, food and friends are my LIFE.

Nothing beats a giant plate of something scrumptious or a friend to goof around, giggle and gab with - or better yet - both at the same time! I just wish the majority of mine weren't spread across the globe.

I find it impossible to be bored, even without a soul or book around for miles, for I can always climb inside my head and feel content there with the disarray inside. Whether it's dreaming up my next tattoo or just getting lost in how lovely the sun is hitting something, I never run out of things to ponder.


I love people. Watching them, studying them, memorizing their ways and their wonders, but still know how to appreciate being by myself. I've been a loner and a misfit as far back as my mind will take me and kinda love that quiet and the space. Could spend my life in a library, movie theater, darkroom, art store, or anywhere with an ocean view and have far too much of my time and heart tied-up in good TV and favorite celebs.


Still, my strongest addictions are laughing, thinking, growing, and in life, I draw my deepest inspiration from anyone who really understands how lucky they are to be here on this crazy planet. “

Fada Moranga loves Rui Paes!

Munkebakken House


THE AUTHOR
with his italian Whippet Zaffira

Rui Paes is a Portuguese artist, born in Mozambique. He studied at the Escola de Belas Artes in Oporto and completed an M.A. in painting at the Royal College of Art in London. He now lives in London and Suffolk.

His work, which includes murals and designs for the theatre, is represented in private collections throughout the world, including the historical
Munkebakken house in Oslo, Norway. Lotsa de Casha written by Madonna was his first illustrated book.

Rui was 7 when he was given a box of crayons and started to draw. He escaped to his secret little island, his hideaway, where he would draw and stay for hours. At home, Rui and his siblings could draw on the walls with a piece of chalk (his parents had painted the corridor walls in black).

Animals puzzled him and he had quite a few that lived close to his house. He used to carry a sweet little squirrel inside his shirt almost everywhere. Monkeys were the most intriguing to him – “their hands are so animated and expressive - and when you catch their eye you really expect to hear a little voice telling you something funny or, sometimes, quite profound.”

Fada Moranga loves Woodling Faeries!



“There is a special part in The Whisper Wood,
the vegetation in this part is very dense
and it is a bit misty and humid.

There are lots of beautiful ferns
and all kinds of green coloured mosses lie
as a warm carpet on the forest ground.

In this magical part humans are rarely seen,
but if you should ever find yourself in these parts,
and if you are very, very quiet,
you might just catch a glimpse
of a tiny Woodling Faerie Leaf Baby.

Often it lies all curled up
in an old bird’s nest
or sometimes hanging in its Woodling Faerie Cocoon.

And if you are very lucky
you can even see them playing with other Woodling Faeries. “

Alison Jay lives and works in London, England. A graduate in illustration from the London College of Printing, Alison has been illustrating children's books for more than ten years.

Organic Babies!


Hannah and Tim were parents to a baby daughter!

At that point they wanted to protect their vulnerable child, but didn't know what clothes they should buy. They were looking for alternatives to conventional cotton.

Why did they choose organic cotton clothes for their baby?

A baby’s skin is up to 5 times thinner than adult skin, they have higher metabolisms and lower weight making them extremely susceptible to absorbing toxins and more sensitive to chemicals (more information). Organic cotton has none of these harmful chemicles and is produced without the use of pesticides making it a much healthier option, especially for infants and those with skin conditions such as eczema.

And this is why Earthlings was born.

Hannah and Tim started a family run business and now specialize in truly organic baby clothes. Earthlings is an ethically conscious brand producing beautiful and environmentally responsible organic cotton clothing for babies, toddlers and kids. Their designs are made using completely chemical free fabrics and they are committed to trading fairly with all their suppliers throughout the supply chain.

A happy ending!

Becky, their baby daughter is happy, they are happy, kids are happy, Fairtrade is happy, the Earth is happy!

Fada Moranga loves SamSam!

Meet SamSam,
the smallest of the superheroes!

He lives in SamPlanet
and flies his own SamSaucer into space.
He also deals with dirty-rotten monsters!
Okay, he doesn't quite yet have super powers.
Sometimes he does need a little help from his cuddly SuperTeddy, his friends, SamMummy or SamDaddy.


www.samsam.fr



THE CREATOR
Serge Bloch

"What amuses me, is amuse everyone else.

I am an amuser.

I want to make people smile with pleasure more than roar with laughter.

Creating means preserving the child in yourself.

Children are born creators, and drawing is a natural means of expression for them.

When I was small, my brothers and sisters played music.

I drew. They said I drew well."
