Uh, ah, another gourgeous find :D

hey again!

tonight im o fire! I started surfing some very nice blogs lately (since im too lazy to get mine back on track :P) which lead me to some very nice handmade artists.
You people make me jealous! You have time to do exactly what you like, when you like to, how you like to and and where you like to. Envious, yes :P
Here I present Dot Girl and her beautiful watch and cuff links. Enjoy! I know I did :D




Journals

Ok, I usually don't do free advertising, but these ones are just extra nice.



Julie Boyles makes some very nice and dare I say intimate journals. Just take a look and u'll get convinced.
These are just gorgeous! I'd love to have a journal like this.
I have a collection of journals (most of them still clean :D), boxes, bead jewels, dyi patterns... etc .
Yes, I know, I have a lot of obsession (and you don't know half of it :P), but hey! I'm a woman, I'm allowed to :D

I need to move to a decent city...

I don't think I've mentioned this before, but I am living in a capital city that is just as dangerous as New York, just not as interesting.
I grew up in a nice, quiet, small city up in the mountains and I always swear that I'll never ever more here. I just knew I would hate it here... YES, HATE! I don't agree with the usage of this word (aka "hate") because its a word with high load of negative feelings, but this is one of the very few things that I really do hate and I cant deny it... just cant!
I moved here by necessity a few years ago (and i'm not liking it ever since)because my love was here and because I was presented with a nice work opportunity here... but even if my love is worth every single moment of struggle, the work isn't (it turned out after some time that the work is not that terrific then I imagined, but hey! thats life...).
So... I need to move... first in a better neighborhood (although this one should be a nice one also... but "should" is the keyword here) and then (as soon as I decide where next) to a smaller and quieter city.

Cant wait :)

Cooking... and maybe a new blog?

Hey there,

I was thinking this morning about the blog and about not having enough time to do everything I want and need to do... but then, this is the curse of modern world. Im not such a modern girl in this way.



I would like to go to work and still have some time and energy to do stuff that have no connection with the usual job I do. Like our parents did when we were growing up. They started word at 6 or 7 and finished at 3-4 PM. From 3-4 PM you still get to do a lot of other things, the day is still young at that hour :)

But no, today we start work at 8/9/10 max and we get out in the evening, when all you get to do is go home, eat something (most of the time you don't even get to eat something all day long), shower and go to sleep so that in the morning you can start all over again. God, this is just pathetic! Really! This wasn't the life I was dreaming about when I was little :(

I'm guessing your all saying now that if I don't like it then I need to change my job... well, gladly, but I actually like the job I'm doing (most parts of it, there are always some parts you just need to do, but don't like it) and most part of the people I'm working with, but the operational part of most bigger companies is just disappointing. A lot of unnecessary tasks that do nothing to help the job, just slows it down. That part is just frustrating! mrrr...

Well and so, the only hobby of mine that actually do practice regularly is cooking. I'm not a great cook, I just like to eat and Mom made me practice a lot when I was younger, so it kind of grow on me. The saddest part is that I am cooking only because I have to because I lack time. If I want to eat something good then I need to cook it, so...
But it is a process that I love doing, whenever I have time and I'm hungry :) as I cook better when I'm hungry :)
My cooking is not based on recipes, I never get to do it exactly as in the recipe, I always "need" to modify it at least a bit :) It is also mostly based on what is in the fridge at that moment or what can I buy from the market close to me quickly.

The conclusion is that I do this a lot (a girls got to eat, doesn't she) and since everyone seems to be very please with my cooking (by bf is an absolute fan) and since I did gather a LOT of recipes along the years, I am thinking of possibly sharing some recipes with you also by making a separate blog for this.
This is still in project faze, so don't expect it tomorrow, but what do you think? Is this a good idea or the blog word is already over saturated with cooking related blogs?



hmm....

two true singers...

Jewel and Faye Wong are two of my very short list of favorite singers. Why? They actually feel the song when they are singing them.

U cant be unimpressed by some of their songs if u have at least a bit of sensitivity in u!






enjoy ;)

I must admit that I wasn't very creative in the last period... yes, I'm uninspired... and maybe too stressed, but I promise I'll get back on the track soon :)

Origami

I recently rediscovered Origami. Loved it while I was younger, but I kind off forgot it along the way.
Inspiration was provided my miss Mila and her blog Loveology which I read and follow with a lot of pleasure :) I saw some very nice origami birds in some of her posts that caught my attention and I would try to do some myself. Said and done :D
Google searched "Origami bird" and found a few patterns.
The first one was a bird (that was what I was looking for in the first place of course) and the following video was rather helpfull:

Origami Flapping Bird - Funny bloopers R us

Then I thought I should move on to something else... like flowers... more specifically a Lilly :)

Origami Lilly - Click here for funny video clips

Both of my projects turned out to be succesfull (so I haven't lost my touch :D)
I also found a blog fuuuuuuul of Origami patterns.
The blog is called Origami Instructions , check it out if Ur interested in making more of these everlasting decorations. Ok, maybe not everlasting, but long lasting :) I still have a rose that I made when I was 12-13 or so :)

I was thinking of making a bouquet of paper flowers... wouldnt that be nice? and U dont even need to put water on them or change them :D aint than convenient!
