Last Sunday, we were invited by a couple of friends for a Christmas Brunch.
They recently buy their first home and I wanted to offer them something handmade.

So I thought a painting would be great. But then, the doubty-trolls came in my head: “and what if it’s not their style ?” “what if they don’t like it ?” and I let you complete all these sentences you probably already heard yourself…

"To love and be loved is to feel the Sun on both sides"

I wanted something blue with some touches of pink (because pink is Nathou’s favourite colour). And then, just let the ideas come…

I used the technique tought by my dear friend Isa for the green stretches. I love doing that 😀

Another technique I almost always do, is the bleedings of acrylic ink. Here, they are simply used as a base for the flowers.

I think I’ll do a kind of “serie” on the same theme, because I really enjoyed doing it, and finally, despite the Fear, I am quite pleased with the final result !

Yiiiiiha !

Thanks to my sweetheart, Pulsion Of Life is re-designed. It’s totally unique, and I absolutely LOVE it. Maybe it will change a little (because I’m like that, I change a little bit of this or a little bit of that), but not now.

Don’t be shy, and explore. The bilingual fonction is more obvious with the flag at the top of the right side column.

A bookshop (via aStore) will soon be added.

If you see something that does not work as it should, let me a comment to let me notice it.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do 🙂

Hello !

I must confess I didn’t have time this week to plan this note, so I’m a little late (but it’s only 8am here in Vancouver). I had a really busy week, and finally I think being busy can be really cool !

If you’re new to the concept of what is Gratitude Friday, you can read more about it here.

This week, I am grateful for:

❄ The three afternoons spent with Nathalie to cook some Christmas biscuits. We had a lot of fun in the kitchen 😉 And we’ll do it again two times next week.
❄ The email my husband sent me, even if he sent it because we “fought”.
❄ The family around my Mum, always there when she’s down. I’d prefer to be there with her. This first canadian Christmas for us may be tough.
❄ The every-morning-cuddling-in-bed my youngest daughter and I do.
❄ The beautiful weather, I like when it’s sunny and cold outside.
❄ My friends.
❄ The cooking I did (strawberry marmelade, apple & ginger chutney, lasagna…). I miss cooking, indeed (I didn’t really enjoy it lately).
❄ Our neighbour who kindly accepted to take a package we were waiting for, because i was not home.

Wow, a lot of things I am deeply thankful for, this week. I feel good, despite the fact that I was really sad and confused.

I wish you a wonderful week-end and week to come.

How was your week, Lovelies ?
Mine was so-so; I appreciate even more this little ritual to re-think of my week in order to fine these big or tiny things I am deeply thankful for, it makes me a lot more positive, and happy.

Can you believe we are already in December, the last month of 2009 year ? Finally, this year passed really fast for me, I don’t know where it went !

If you are new to Gratitude Friday, here is were you can know more about it.

This week, I am thankful for..:

❄ The 2 days off my husband had at the beginning of the week. We were able to do our Christmas gifts for our daughters, and we celebrated his birthday a few days in advance, together.
❄ The beautiful weather we have this week in Vancouver: cold but really sunny. My favourite winter weather (I prefer when it’s dry than when it rains or snow).
❄ My Soul-sister Isa is still my Friend.
❄ I have finally some more precise ideas about by what I want to create and share for/with the people of the World.
❄ My mum, the woman I love the most in the entire Universe. I miss her so badly 🙁
