Let's bake cakes!

 Chocolate, with strawberries, apple pie... doesn't matter. Cake is a masterpiece in it's simplicity! Mysterious combination of ingredients that gives impressive results. The smell of dough in the oven... It's a memory of Saturdays and Sundays at home. Sweet Muffin? It's my kind of figure by Gok Wan. Apple pie? Always! My favourite? Cheesecake. Mhmmm... I'm drooling! ;) 

Wake me up when September begins

There are three months in the year that mean "new beginning" for me: January, May and September. Why? Well, January is obvious- New Year! May and September, Spring and Autumn... New season collections in the shops- oh, what a feast for my eyes :) New colours, patterns, textiles, cuttings! And magazines... They seem to have new energy, new ideas, new layouts... 

I adore the Spetember's vibration. Still warm, still sunny but chilly at the same time. One foot in Summer, one in Autumn. Kids at schools, students still free as birds. Perfect weather for wandering, wondering, for wonders.

Beginning obsession

 Oh yes, I have (at least) one obsession- I'm obsessed with beginning. I love New Year's Eves- month before I know my resolutions. I love books- each one promises something, at least one sentence, that will change my way of thinking. Life can't just pass in one piece, I'm finding almost sadistic pleasure in cutting it into pieces: here's beggining, here's the end of some stage, period, adventure, mood, of some version of me, now it's time for update. All the pieces of my life inserted carefully in proper boxes, each one tagged- Ordnung muss sein! 

  All this work with cutting, tagging, segregating...is useless. My life it's still in one piece. What was before brought me to the point I'm standing now. It's better to leave it as a huge braid made of coincidences- maybe a little tangled, but the effect is amazing!

Taurus

I like to read horoscopes in magazines, even newspapers, on the internet- well, actually, I can't stop myself to read them no matter where they are :) I don't believe in them, but... When they say about something negative- I forget them instantly. When they promise me tons of luck, true love or money and succes, then I'm even more sure that I was born under a lucky star ;)  I also like the pictograms for Zodiac signs. Sometimes they can be really nice and artistic! I have some for Taurus, cut out from different journals. And, well, I think I'm a typical Taurus :)

Stormy weather

Dark day. Heavy grey clouds covered the sky, strong wind made summer day very cold. Rain reminded about upcoming Autumn. But maybe morning will wake me up with rays of sun?
Weather can be similiar to emotional state: heavy grey thoughts are tangling in your head, you can't see any hope, doubts make you feel insecure, soon you'll start to cry. But maybe next morning will wake you up with rays of sun?

Back to childhood

As kids we're usually 100% sure, what we're going to do in the future. Dreams have no limits becouse our imagination has no limits then. Yesterday in the evening, after badminton match and cold beer, I felt tired, happy, satisfied, almost as a child after all summer day spent outside. Intuitively I grabbed new sketchbook, pencil and started to draw- for pure relax, joy. I felt like in the sweet times when I didn't have plans to study art, when I was fascinated with SailorMoon and simply wanted to draw- witches, elfs, dresses. 

Maybe there's some sense in all those psychological stories about our inner child? :)
