Busy Week

This week I worked six days in a row. I didn't have much time for anything else.

The week flew by.

On my last day off I made a few necklaces with my drawings. It's nice to do something different. It changes from sewing. :)

 Lucienne aux Papillons

 The Botanist

Serenity (Sold)

These are the ones that turned out best. I messed up the resin part to glue the picture on most of them. Originaly I made six cabochons but only four were usable. I'm making more right now with a new drawing and some I couldn't get right the first time.

This is one of the new drawings I did at work. I think it's my favorite one so far.

I did this one yesterday. The days at work are pretty slow. Not many costumers. It's nice to go home and not feel like the day has been wasted because I have made drawings.

The summer sales started last week and I scored a few notebooks from Paperchase. I was looking for one to write my recipes down. The one with food on it will do just fine.

During the sales I also scored this little guy which is a pouch. I'll bring my sewing to work in it. I need to get some work done.

On my last day off a week ago I made souffles from the Julia Child cooking book I got for my birthday. I had no idea how a soufflé is supposed to be like texture wise. I think I did ok. Even if it doesn't show in the picture that they were 'souffléed', they actually were right out of the oven.

This is the birthday card from my Grand Pa. So sweet.

To hang in there during this very busy and restless week a lot of wine was consumed. :) 

My Favorite Moment of the Week - Pure Bliss

My favorite day of the week is the day I wash my hair. :) The part I like best is actually blow drying my hair.

I guess it sounds silly and completely random as a blog post but what a blissful moment, all warm and comfy! I finally can take the time to read in this flow of hot air and Earl Grey tea vapors.

Cup: Paperchase

My hair dryer must be the oldest thing I own!  I had it when I took my 'BAC', highschool diploma in France. I used to turn it on, place it between my knees as I was sitting on the floor and I would study for the exams this way. I guess the sound of it helps me focus and soothes me.

Right now I'm reading Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert and it's such a nice book! I wasn't expecting I would like it that much! Actually I wasn't expecting I would like it at all! But I do, it's very inspiring and uplifting. It's a feel-good book and I love those!

Tea: Lov Organic

Last week I went shopping, and bought this delicious tea! I'm an Earl Grey freak!! Here's another thing that really soothes me! Just the scent when I open the box, it feels just like home.

This particular brand is particularly good! It's made of green tea though, I usually like black better but this one rocks anyways!

Writing this post I realize that I'm really struggling with my English. I'm lost for words, I have to think about what I want to say and how to say it. It wasn't like that only a few months ago. I used to think in English just like I do in French, my mother tongue, and that was it!
I guess and hope this blog is good exercise.

Saturday Drawings, New Goal

Spent the afternoon drawing while watching (listening would be more exact) to the Simpsons...

Here are a bunch of pastel drawings I sprayed so they won't run. My hands are still all sticky.

I started this brand new sketchbook by Paperchase today. I love this brand, it's really fun and pretty.

Here is the first drawing I did...

And the second one, step by step.

What a mess!

Meanwhile, my cat was napping in his travel cage :p

Well, the purpose of this blog was at first to document my life in a new house. But the plan I had thought of didn't work out. We're staying where we are in a tiny apartment.

 So instead, I'll try to keep this blog as a journal, hopefully every single day, with each creative thing I've done during the day.

It would be great if I could make something with my hands every single day!
