Putting my creative head on { Promarkers }

The evenings get longer now and I do find myself cuddled in the corner of my room thinking about creativity… Do you get the same feeling? 

Various things go through my mind... cooking, photography, blogging and drawings… 

I felt that I miss my good old hobby - to draw illustrations / animations... I used to dream of becoming an animator. This is why sometimes I feel the urge to create a new face...

I bought some Promarkers and decided to start drawing.

Well, usually when I start, I do not know where it will take me :) . I just begin the process and it usually builds up into a character...This what happened with my first pictures using the markers. I am still exploring the possibilities with these fun to draw pens, check out my first tries... 

Do you have hobbies you return to? x

Making Crêpes

This is my first post about cooking... and I hope you will like it. 

I adore cooking and crêpes is one of my favourite things to make and eat :) This is something I cook very often (mostly every weekend... :) ) . I love thin pancake dish because it can be so versatile with sweet and savoury fillings. Today I made a sweet ricotta filling version with fruit and Crême fraiche.

What is your favourite thing to cook on weekends?

The Night at the Opera { iPhoneography }

Autumn is definitely here in London. This means a start of a theatre season, cosy coats, cooking warming meals and more blogging :)

After several days of constant rain it was wonderful to have a day out with my friend. We went for a dinner to Covent Garden and to the Royal Opera House to see Puccini's Opera Turandot.

Turandot is a story set in ancient China and it involves the Unknown Prince who desperately falls in love with the Ice Princess Turandot. The staging was very colourful and the action full of drama, emotional music and fine singing made it a very special experience for us :) 

How have you started the new season? xx

One Day in June { Cannizaro House }

This post is a little look back in time...

Sometimes I need time to get used to the shots and fall in love with them, sit down and tidy them up :) 
It happened to this series of my birthday outing photos. It is September and its lovely to remember the first warm moments of June. I had a splendid dinner at Cannizaro House in Wimbledon, it is such a charming hotel with a restaurant set in the beautiful grounds.
