Decorating my room with butterflies

Monday, I felt very inspired and creative so I got the idea to print out some silhouettes of butterflies and use them as templates to cut them out of a magazine so they would be more fun.

Things I used:

Some of wich you can see on the photo;
Some butterflies silhouettes from the web
A scalpel to cut out the holes in the silhouettes
A magazine
A surface to cut on with the scalpel
Scissors
A pencil
Glue
Carton




Then I cut out the butterflies, which was a difficult process when I should use the scalpel.

The I glued them onto some carton so make them stronger templates.

When the templates were done, I places them onto the pages of the magazines. Drew around them and cut the new butterfly out. I took some markers and drew on the templates when I was done with them, so they would look nicer and be able to put in my room.


It took a while but I think they made my room a little bit more interesting.

Zentangled L

A couple of days ago I came across something called "Zentangle art" on Google. 

I'm not much of a drawer because everything i draw looks dumb, but this way to draw didn't look too difficult. The principals is just to draw what you feel like drawing. It's kinda like a therapy or meditation.

So I decided to draw what I just felt like and I was quite surprised of the result:

















Another thing I realized about Zentangle is that it's very fun to color it. Mostly suitable for grown-ups because of the tendency of very small details.
You are welcome to go and copy my drawing for some coloring fun!

Fancy te

Hejsa

I onsdags var jeg på restaurant Cool & Green med min far. Jeg havde givet ham et gavekort til en julefrokost buffet derinde, i hans fødselsdags gave. Der var rigtig meget lækkert mad og jeg fik helt sikkert spist for meget, men det var hyggeligt.
Jeg bestilte en fersken te og den måde jeg fik den serveret på var ret interessant og jeg synes lige at jeg vil poste et billede af det.

Den var såå god, selvom jeg tror jeg lod den trække for længe... Ups

Quick Christmas Confections

Hi, today I made Christmas confections with a friend. It was soo much fun.
I will post all the recipes I made, and I'll start with this date and apricot yum yum:
All you need is:
Dates
Dried apricots
Marzipan.

You half the dates and apricots with a knife and stuff some marzipan in them.
I used some nougat and Daim chocolate bar too, but you can mix and match with whatever you like to stuff in them :)

BONUS: They are a little helthier than just nougat and marzipan confections because you also fill your stomach with fruit vitamins ;)
