Goodbye 2010

Oh, well, tomorrow is the last day of 2010 and I thought I should do like a recount of the great things that happened this year. So, here goes some pictures and photos that will tell the story.

My family at the beach :)

This was on March, when my Book-sisters stayed at home for my Birthday!! :)

Our 'Dandelion Book Club' at the Book Fair on May :3

The Halloween Party that my friends from Uni and I did... Sooo cool! :)

At my Ma Soleil's Birthday Party last month :)

Dinner and ice-cream last Tuesday with my Primary School friends :)

My very first dress in a Runway Show!!! :D

There are many other ocassions that I enjoyed, of course, but this are the most great of all! This are the ones that make me happy right now, in this moment, remembering when they happened betweet all the things that went wrong... this ocassions are the ones that put a smile on me. And, obviously, here in this photos are the people that became the strawberries on my desert, the stars on my sky, the friends on my heart.

So, thanks to all this people, to my friends, my family, the new people I met, and to you... that takes the time to come by this Sugar Blog.

HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Merlin

Oh, and I wanted to introduce to you my beloved cat: MERLIN.
He's very very big, he's the king of our house, he loves sleeping under a tree and likes to sleep on one of our beds during the cold seasons.

Love him!

XMas and the heat

It was a real mess to decorate the cookies but really fun also!

Sooooo hot!!! It's so bloody hot today!!! Swimming pool is not ready yet (maybe tomorrow) and there's nowehere fresh to sit or lay.
Back to our business.
Christmas was great, really really fun... even when a firework exploded almost on my face, was cute not to burn and see those pink lights so near ^^
My cousins and I bake ginger and honey cookies and everybody ate them! And we also ate ice-cream and nuts and a lot other Christmas stuff.
Oh, and I got a tiger t-shirt, a mannequin (that I called Lizzie after Elizabeth I), a pair of flip flops, the last book of my favourite cartoonist, a perfum, a book with fifty Ex-libris and the book of Percy Jackson and the Olympians... really good stuff.

I'm remaking a dress after another dress I got in a Flea-market... I think is gonna be really pretty after some changes. I'll post a picture later.


Bye for now.
Today I've learn: reading classics make you travel.

Christmas Lights

Oh, well. Among all of the Christmas songs that were created since... well, since singing, I've choose this one from Coldplay because it's just ADORABLE! And I'm not just saying this because I absolutely adore them but because it's a really good song. I like it, at least.

Christmas Lights... with my sister and brother we play to count the houses that have christmas lights on there fronts, or some red bow or something Christmas-y. And though every year people seem to put less and less decorations, it makes me very happy to still count a few of them.



Nothing else for now.
I think I'm gonna go out to my backyard now and draw a bit or read "A Christmas Carol" (which I read every year before Christmas Eve) or A series of Unfortunate events... or something.

Bye for now.
Today I've learn: 7 days until Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

December is AWESOME!

I always had a thing for December, for me it has always been the best month of the year because classes finished and in came Christmas and New Year. But this year, I think, it has been the best December of my life. Why?
Well, I just had my very first Fashion Show, not a whole collection but a dress in the collection we made with my partners at the Fashion Designing Course I attend. The theme was CIRCUS and I came with the idea of a Fortune Teller, the ones from the old Circus, the ones from the 1930s and, well, this was the result:

(Modeled by Guada Moyano)

I'm very very very happy with the dress, very! It was kind of difficult at first because the design I made was complicated, but everything turned out great!!
More news, well, just yesterday my teacher from the course sent me an email asking me if I wanted to be part of a group he created for Independent Designers... OMG!!! You can't imagine how loud I shout!!! I mean, I just started this year with the course and with sewing... I've always liked drawing clothes and stuff like that in my illustrations and now, and now, and now. I inmediately said yes, even though next year is gonna be busier than this, it is an oportunity I can not let pass, right??
Well, I'm so happy.

What else?? I made this video about Espon-Illustration, which is an idea I've been working on lately about drawing anywhere with anything you have on hand.
(Here's the link)

And, what else?? I'm doing amigurumis right now, I'll keep doing them 'cause it's a lot of fun and very relaxing ^^ Then I'll post something... oh, about all the sweet food I'm gonna cook for this Christmas.

Goodbye for now.
Today I've learn: I really really really love Mori girls' style.

XOXO
