Happy New Year

All I can wish you is a happy, happy, happy new year, full of joy and accomplishments. May it be the prettiest year, in a good way :)

'Dear friends'

Today I plan on reading the ‘Dear friends’ manga. I’ve already read one chapter and it seems pretty interesting.

I’ll come with a short review for sure, so be sure not to miss :>

I am f i f t e e n

Holy, cow!

Today I turned f i f t e e n years old.

Believe me, it seems like a dream for me - i mean, i can't believe this is really happening. I am so excited, but also so nervous. The whole day I laughed and smiled - i couldn't stop myself. Just once in life you turn f i f t e e n. Really, i am this big? I disagree. Point.

I plan to share some photos soon [read: take them, 'cause the whole day i was at school, so...]. Tomorrow is a big day, so i have to catch up some sleep. I'm drunk of excitement :)

This was just a quick post in order to let you know that i am alive and, also, that i am a year bigger. Tomorrow, most probably, i'll have a real birthday post.

Love you for being there,

Larisa

Little apologize & little somethings [newsletter project]

Hello, there :)

Guys, today it's been a week since I haven't posted literally anything. I do apologize for this from the bottom of my heart. Please forgive my absence - it wasn't meant, I promise. It was just the cruel result of my classes + some tehnical problems with my blog - saying that it's not safe to log in [even now I am at risk, but I have taken it for the blogging sake!].

Okay, so, about school - all I have to say it's that it's not for me. Seriously, if privat lessons were for everyone, I would definitely take them at home. I swear some days I'm counting the seconds - I, myself, expect a more creative life. I want an interesting one, doing all the things I love how I want. Not that I don't like learning - that's not true. I like learning new things, but not this way :)

Also, today I've discovered a gorgeous site that offers you the posibility of sending newsletters [without paying one cent]. In other words, I invite you to check out the right side bar, right above my Blogroll [the blogs I love]. So, if you'd like to find out little secrets and receive special surprises, don't hesitate to subscribe :) Ohhh, I'm so, so excited about this :'>

Sleep

[by northengirl.deviantart.com]

Just letting you know my eyes don't listen to me. I haven't been this exhausted for some time. All I see in front of me is sleep.

[I just opened my computer to let you all know why I can't write an actual post here - you see, I promised to post at least once a day, and I always try to keep my promises]

Have a great night-sleep,

Larisa

Today...

Hello there.

Today was one of those days when all you do is drink tea, read and paint. Soo magic.

Also, today I've started painting my second canvas ever. I can't wait to finish it.

Yay.

yay!

Omg, I think I'm going mad, haha xD

So, as I told you, my computer crashed and -until some hours ago- we had just one computer, which one had to be shared. Anyways, in my room I still had an old computer (actually my first one) and today, hoping and praying, I tried to turn it on and connect it to the network.

Lucky me, after looking for data cables and stuff like that in old boxes, I made it happen. It works!! Oh-my-gosh, I couldn't be more excited.

Well, of course, it works pretty slow and I can't download or install programs and stuff, but at least I can check my daily reads, document myself and basicaly everything that does not involve downloading. Isnt't it awsome?

Dear old pc, you saved my life. I love you.

My actual biggest inspiration...

...are my books.

They made me see that I can either write what can not be drawn and draw what can't be wrote. This is my vocation - I feel it with all my soul and this past months I've focused on it - little by little.

I know this obssesion of mine is something that I want to pursue my entire life. I just can't express how satisfied I am to have found this little, but oh-so-big thing for me.

P.S. Working on some projects right now, so stay tuned (shhht!). And always remember to stay focused on everyday's little magic.

Today and a little 'welcome back'

Hello, guys.

How was your day? Mine was so f u l l - in a good and enchanting way. In the morning I went shopping with my mother and found almost everything we need; painted; read about my most fav ourite painter (I'll told you later, promise) ; painted some more; made future plans (shhh!) ; had our little cousins with us all the evening. Puuure magic.

These days, as I'll find some time to scan a little sneak peek, I'll show you the project I've been working one for...hmmm, let's say - seven months. I'll talk more about it in this particular post that will come very soon - I want to make sure everything's perfect, you know.

Anyways, in other words, I want to welcome back my bestie. She recentlly opened a new and updated blog, so go and leave her a cute 'hello'.

See you very soon ,

Larisa

Fashion illustrations

These days I'm amazingly obssesed by all the means of fashion. It seems like I just can't wait to be older enough to become a fashion designer, an illustrator, etsy seller, freelance photographer and all the things that include those kind of ideas.Just in care you are AS obssesed as I am, I thought I should show you some of my favourite Etsy fashion illustrations. Believe me, these guys are amazing !

Russian doll

©http://lifeiscolourl.blogspot.com

My first russian doll, actually. I like it pretty much.

OMG

"Gosh, there's so much going on"

Today was an exhausting day - even if I haven't done that much. I mean, I've painted, I've cooked (yummy) and I've daydreamt. Yep. Three in one - that's me.
Tomorrow I'll be attemting a good friend's birthday and here's what I've just painted for her. It 's a russian doll ( I love them so, so much). Tomorrow you'll probably find me downtown, looking for the perfect frame (for the painting, I mean). I really hope she will find it sweet. *cross my fingers*

Love you,

Larisa

Night-night

Hello, everyone.

It was a busy-busy day, with a lot going on . At the moment, my computer's not working [I'm writing from my brother's], so I can't be as active as I want to.

I'll show you all I've been doodlleing and dreaming this period sometime soon . Promise, promise.

Miss you already,

Larisa xxxx

Welcome, Fall

Welcome, Fall

Honestly, I'm pretty sad the summer ended. No, I'm extremely sad. It was the best summer ever. I loved every second of it. Summer, thank you so much for bringing such special people in my life. Thank you for all the adventures. Thank you for all the falling stars. Thank you so much for all the love. Thank you for all the memories. Thank you from the bottom of the heart (please come back sometime soon).

In other words, I really hope this Autumn will be as warm as the Summer's heart was. I wish it will be the most unique Fall, in a good way, of course. I wish it will bring happiness, good friends, warm feelings, kind colors, inspiration and so, so, so much love. I would love you so much. Let's be best friends, Fall. Um?

Love you, Summer. You're my very favourite.

Preparing to love you, Fall...

Keep cool

[source: we heart it]

Time for a real post here. As I told you some weekes ago, I'm curently in the countryside, so all those posts are schedueled. Getting all those posts done it's really a hard work to do, as I am not a very patient person with such things , but the satisfaction of knowing my blog awake is greater *blush*

This summer, besides a LOT of plans and ambitions, I wanna read some certain books - books that have been waiting for a long time to be read and there's finally the right time for them all.

1. Madame Bovary - Flaubert
2. Emma – Jane Austin
3. Red and black - Stendhal
4. Breakfast at Tiffany's - Truman Capote
5. The Life and Opinions of Tomcat Murr - E.T.A. Hoffman
6. Matilda - Roald Dahl [actually, read again. It's SO funny]
7. La jeunesse de Jan et Torrents - Marie-Anne Desmarest
8. Papillon - Henri Charrriere
9. The Rosary - Florence L. Barclay
10. Bel-Ami - Guy De Maupassant
11. The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown
12. Lisey's story - Stephen King

I can't wait to share with you my impressions on those books [i wanna read more than i actually listed. i'll let you know what else when i'll return]. Many more to come on August, hehe!

Happy reading!

Take your time

Now and then

Hey, you

This is my last day in town for a little while. Today was also a full day.

• this morning, my aunt, my uncle and my baby cousin left. I even cried a little. They mean a lot to me and I can't wait to see them again. David stole my heart.
• i scheduled a bunch of posts for some weeks now. Gosh, it wasn't an easy job!
• i took a one hour nap - I was SO tired
• i drew some things
• i took lots of books for my journey
• i got almost everything done for tomorrow morning
• i had a shower

Also, those following weeks I have with me:

• my laptop [it's actually the first time I take it with me somewhere]
• Paint Tool SAI [to draw]
• my beloved Bamboo tablet
• FIMO
• all my favourite materials

I'm off to watch one more Inuyasha episode - then I'll probably pack some more things and after that I'll definitely go to bed.

I wish you the best summer and always, always remember to stay focused - just to make sure you don't miss the essence of life.

THE idea

[source: we heart it]

Only a fun idea I've just had moments ago...

Only because I'm going to my grandparents soon, where I'll have no internet doesn't mean my blog will remain abandoned for the rest of the summer. No way something like that could happend again ;]

So, the rest of the summer I'll post ALMOST-daily a short, quick, but funny thing named 'Looking forward to...', where I'll share things I can't wait to happen, reasons for that, certain dates, impressions and some other little things that I'll let you notice yourselves.

Also, I'll keep you updated with a series of post where I'll share my latest fashion crushes, how to wear them and also a little bonus.

So, in spite of the fact I'll not be home, my blog will be awake, energic and full of summer joy.

I'm off to watch some Inuyasha, haha :">

Welcome, July

[source: glitterscene]

_{There I was on a July morning
Looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun}

Welcome, July!

I'm seeking some sleep

Guys, I'm SO tired. It was such a full day, that I really can't wait to sleep.

I've finished the painting mentioned yesterday, but still don't wanna let you see it. Shhh! I want you to see it in the printed version ;]

Also, tomorrow I'll have a busy, busy program, because it's my last day home. Saturday I'm leaving for the countryside, so I have lots to do. I'd better go to bed right NOW.



Night-night,

xx

Today

Guys, I apologize for posting so late in the night. I am SO sleepy that I can barely keep my eyes opened.

Today I've:
-cleaned my room a little bit
-went outside with some friends
-opened my mother's pack [she let my do it, 'cuz I love to unpack, haha] and admired all her new beads
-finished prompt no. #6 [I know I have tons to catch up with]
-watched Inuyasha [like crazy as always]
-worked on something for my mom [I'll show you all tomorrow]
-thought at everything

It wasn't such a productive day, but it was fine. Tomorrow my baby cousin, my aunt and my uncle are showing up, so I'll be a little busy.Night-night,

miss

Finally

Heya, guys.

Aw, today was SO relaxing. It's actually been a long time since I last had a day when all I've done was to play around with colors, paint, create, think about everything, watch things I enjoy and stuff like this. I'm glad to anouncce that today was the day, haha .

This page is dedicated to my all time heros - the ones who gave me a notebook called LIFE, just for the days when I want to doodle something on the creation idea. Love you for everything, but everything you did, you're doing and will ever do. I know it will be the right thing. Now and forever, you will always have a special place in my heart, because you are you, no matter how this world may be changing.Here, I was just answering an existetial problem. What my heart looks like? Well, my heart represent who I am. My heart represents my true self. My heart represents a whole Universe. I am an Universe, just every and each of us is.
I was just playing around with the idea of a comic book page. Here there are my most beloved blogs, playing an important role in my life, just as a character can change the whole comic book. I really had a great time doing it.

Also, today I've been working with FIMO, drawing with my beloved BAMBOO and thinking BIG. These days I'll show you more, so stay focused.

All the love,

miss l

Back in the game

Aww, 17 June seems so far in the past - the last time I post due to the fact I wasn't home-, but so many things happened. Well, 11 days are always full of things, BUT those 11 days where the longest days I have ever lived - in the best way.

Just imagine that on 22 June, the longest day of the whole year, I was awake 24/24hours. That was the day when I left for Belgium. Oh, and about Brussels...I truly [madly deeply] have no words. I mean, it was like a fairytale to me. A dream city. A breath. A fried potato. A chinese. A sight of Grand Place. A place where magic happens.

I swear. I truly swear that one day I'll go there again. I'll breath that fresh air. I'll smile. I'll have a sit on the Grand Place's warm floor. I'll laugh. I'll live with all my heart.

Also, David, my little cousin is a sweet pie. I love him dearly. I think it's unfair of me to wish him to grow up fast, just to have the chance to have long converssations. I want him to be as is. He's unique in his very own way and that's why I feel so much affection for him.

In other words, I have three promts to photo, so that I can share them all with you. Due to the fact I wasn't home, I have 10 prompts to catch up, but it's okay for me. I don't have a reason to hurry, because that's why I accepted this challenge- in order to take my time, reflect and meet my true self.

I'll share soon my trip in pictures.

Ow, Brussels, I miss you so.

My baby cousin

Today was one of those full-speed days, when you are all in a rush. I've been to that school meeting - were I enjoyed seeing everyone, some shopping and then package [which I haven't finished yet] and get myself ready for the next three days. I'm really nervous to finally see my little cousin! How will he be like [I only know him from photos, since he lives in the United Kingdom] ?Just wanted to let you know why I will not be posting the next days. I feel very sorry for that, but, honestly, I will have no internet where I'm going [or so I think] and even if I will be connected to the Internet, I won't have any time to write something.

Ah, if you've been wondering where's my no. #3 prompt, well...It's on its way! I just have to work a little bit more on it and it will be finished, but as I just told you, I will have no chance to post it - so I think Monday it will go live...
I'm really hoping I will enjoy our trip and we'll have a great time there :d Now I'll just share a little piece of Heaven with you, before I'm saying 'goodbye'.

Already miss you,

Larisa
