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 🙁

Heya !

I hope all the US people out there had a blissful Thanksgiving yesterday. It’s the time of the year when most people introspect and look for what they are thankful for. And what if it becomes a more regular practice, done more often than once a year ?

For a small reminder on the Gratitude Friday principle: it’s here.

This week, I am thankful for..:

✧ We found a total of 39 cents on the street. Yes, we always look on the sidewalk because people here tend to let some coins on the ground. My girls are always delighted to find a nickel or more. Last Sunday, we found 16 cents in total, while we were walking.

✧ I am reading an awsomely useful book while I’m alone on the bus (when I come back from dropping the Trollettes at preschool and later when I go to pick them up): Developping Intuition, by Shakti Gawain. I love her and I am thankful she exists and share with the World. I am so glad that her book about Creative Visualization was on my way ten years ago or so. It changed my life and I still use it.

✧ I am hold in my project by my Loved Ones and other people I talk about it helps me to go for it.

✧ I am thankful for the women who commented and supported my wish last Wednesday.

✧ For the “pizza lunch” organized at my daughters’ preschool. It was really good to see other parents again and to be more relaxed.

✧ For the confession I made to my friend Alienor. Such a relief for my heart.

✧ Hana Pestle and her songs. It makes me be aware of the long road I went on since my “Black-out” year. I now can be moved by songs without being drowned in my Spleen, as I used to be.
