painting day

Inspired by this blog, decided to do some painting today.
relaxing and calming process of painting, it releases those negative energy which clouded my mind for a bit too long to bear.
I tend to forget that how crafty process can take you for a special place where your soul feels exhilarating.
Happy crafting everyone! for your soul and happiness!! xxx

Origami coaster

Hi C, I promised I will post this a while back. How to make an origami coaster.
Uploaded photos a bit bigger this time so that you can see it better. xxx

I want a puppy...

It's been a while I had a walk in a park.
It's right around a corner from where I live but I have been too lazy to go out and enjoy fresh air and trees.
Never thought that trees can calm you so much.
I never liked woods when I was little and I am from rather large city so never thought I would miss trees or feel like I did.
I saw lots of people walking with their dogs.
(I didn't get a chance to take photo of any of them as I was too busy adoring those cute dogs..)
Now, I want a puppy so much!! xxx

Beautiful colour

Sometime forget where you are.
Sometime forget all colour around you are so beautiful.
It will never be the same colour again.

I cannot wait...

I have been watching the trailer so many times already...

C.

Screenprinting.

In less than 12 days I'll be 30 and I am starting to realize that my fear of showing my work is becaming my biggest enemy.
Not only it keeps me from believing in what I do but keeps me from being happy too.
Here is my first screenprint I worked on a while ago.
Hope you'll like it and you'll give me some feedback !

Chiara

half marathon

No, it wasn't me. I have to make it clear that I did not run a half marathon.
It was my hubby who done it.
I must mention though, supporting those who does a half marathon is not that easy either.
It takes about 2 hours and we, supporters, have to walk around the park to see people running.
OK, I get it, I was just walking and not running so it could not be that hard, you would say..
but, in order to see as much of the half marathon as possibly could, you must short cut to catch those people running.
It's not easy. Please, have a cafe area for supporters!

Baking

with our audiences, baking process had began or the first thing first, a lovely lunch with beer.
(you can bake with empty stomach)

melting butter mix with chocolate, mixing, whipping and mixing again.
why baking looks so easy when Chiara does it but it always seem so complicated whenever I attempted by myself.
had some this morning with coffee, it's so goooooood!


P.S. Happy Birthday, Kev!!!

It's like treasures...

Walking around town, and with a pure luck, we found the market full of little thing, it's like a treasure hunt.

a sunny day

Decided to take a walk in a sunny park.
precious moment of warmth...
Pretty post box. make me want to write some letters.

Lovely lunch

It is always lovely to have a long lunch with a friend.
Talk till so thirsty and have a more excuse to drink...
The last day in Edinburgh for a friend.
Lucky her she is going to Spain, Italy, Austria and Holland for the next 23 days!!
Good luck!!

Trip to Amsterdam

I have been the airport (in Holland) countless times.
Finally, I got to see one of their city.
Beautiful place.

Cap of tea with antique cup.

I finally went to the tea room, where I wanted to go for a while, with a friend. (who is headless in this photo, sorry!)
The cups were so light and elegant. We had a long talk about many different things.
It was a lovely afternoon.
