End of the year

And then you realize your beloved little agenda looks incredibly old and rubbish and the next days are on the very last pages with the heading “week 52”. Yes, 2017 has come to an end. I look back to a year full of great memories, trips, amazing people but also stress and changes. All in all you have been pretty good 2017 and I am extremely thankful for this year and for all those that cared for me, loved me and believed in me. I can’t imagine a better ending to this year than spending them with great people in beautiful Skandinavia. To finish this year, the year where I started this blog, I wanted to share some of the last months moments with you. The end of November as well as Christmas time were full of…

… days at home or other cozy closed spaces to escape the cold…

…facing the cold on other days and realize that it can be quite magical…

… having very late and opulent breakfasts as well as little treats in between…

… never to forget the festive events filled of music and friends…

…all the art and unique things I have seen…

…of course most of the places are in my beautiful hometown Hamburg.

I wish you a wonderful start into the new year, make it a good one and do me the favor not to go to the gym if you don’t want to, you look amazing even after Christmas food craziness.

XX AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

How I manage to be creative

Well, first post in December, month of busyness and calories. I’ve been a little ill these past few days, but hey, it’s winter and freaking cold, so an excuse more to stay home. People, who know me very well, know that I’m the worst being sick. I say to myself: Oh great, now you have time to do all those things you always want to do but you never have time for, such as reading and drawing or tidying my room. But then I notice that I’m too weak to do anything else than sleeping or maybe watching some Netflix (I’m totally obsessed with The Crown lately). And of course I wouldn’t stop complaining all the time how frustrating it is not being able to do all those things and how much I hate being sick. Being sick sucks and I guess me being sick sucks too, especially for my dearest surrounding me. Enough suffering for know, I noticed apart from art at school and homework coming from there, I really need to take more time to draw, as I used to do. The thing with drawing and me is once I’m inspired and started drawing I get in a kind of flow and won’t stop for quite a time. I usually draw women, sort of fashion figurines. Normally I get inspired by beautiful pictures I came across, a good example is the gorgeous Beatrice www.thefashioncuisine.com

Check out her beautiful blog and take your pencils and scribble as there was no tomorrow. I’ll be happy to share some of my latest results. I know my audience is not that big, but I would love to hear if you would like me to write about certain things or share more things as my art. Just let me know!
