In Which songs from 2011 bring me some memories of days past... a post done out of nostalgia

Good morning my excellent friend, reader of this present post! How are you? How is the week going? It has begun, and I pray, in a good way. I am overall okay. Not much else to be said, really. Just awaken way too late in the night/early in the morning. I will likely be sleepy by 6 to 7AM, but I won't desire to sleep. It will be that annoying battle against the heavy eyes. At times I am with much anxiety to sleep. Maybe I should look for some other comfort beverage besides coffee. I did cut to 3 mugs a day, 4 if I am indulgent... I used to think it would just make me stay awake, but it just mitigates sleepy time, so the enchantment over caffeine has been dimmed...  This is just a series of impromptu thoughts I had when the social media algorithm recommended me a post with by now old songs, tunes that were mainstream a decade ago. Imagine, a whole decade! In fact, 16 years ago, give it or take... bitter, that it went away so completely. I was 14, then, I am 27 now. Almost 3 decades o...

In Which we have some Christmas decoration, real and in drawing!

Hello everyone! Happy Saturday to you, and I do wish you the best today! How are you today, and how are things going? It's a bit very hot here, but Christmas time is here, so that is amazing! I'm a bit hungry right at this moment... I can't believe we're on the last moments of 2018, it is something I'm not thinking about these hours, and I don't want to, for now it's still 2018, there's the unknown coming. The Unknown was 2018, which is now approaching its end. It was explored, discovered. The things I found were nice and not nice, I had nice and awful moments, but well, 2019 is coming, Christmas is about this as well! The coming of the new, the new is coming, 2019 is coming, and Christmas is every time of the year anyway, so well, I shouldn't be that scared, and anyway, going with no expectations may be a great thing after all! Well, we have another Christmas post today! I realized this is the last time on 2018 I have the opportunity to do a picture of the week and a sketch of the week, so I'll do both today! Some nice last pictures of 2018 Christmas, and a sketch I did in homage to my best friends!


I saw this Christmas tablecloth that is truly wonderful and comes each year without a fault, specially on the festivities of 24th and 25th of December, the height of the season! They are enchanting on both sides, and I decided to use it as the background to this wonderful christmas house that I love so much, the result was something that reminded me a bit of Wes Anderson, and I do love Wes Anderson a lot! I love the colors of Christmas, the snow, the beautiful pinetree, the small details on this beautiful sculpture of a lovely house, so perfect it is! I also took some pictures of the tablecloth itself, and I'm so excited to show that too to you guys!!


I did love the theme, extremely pleasant to see, fits so well with Christmas season!  And as we progress, let me wrap this post by showing a small teapot and a teacup I did to my wonderful online friend the Captain and Becky!! 


Here I just made a porcelain teacup with some kitten details and a small teacup with a cat in it!!! I love my friends so much, I just wanted to make that to them, but I also love teacups and porcelain and cats and stuff, so it was a theme I was really happy to work with! Making stuff for people is nice, not only because you show them how much you like them, but also a way to push yourself on doing better drawings without necessarily stressing so much, or at least bearing the stress better, because the joy of gifting someone something you did to them is a great one, and you just want to do the best to your friends! I do make nice drawings to myself as well, but making drawings to others helps me improve even more as well! So here we have, our small Christmas special post! One more!! Thank you so much for reading this and being here! You're the very best, and see you next time!
