3 things

..or maybe 4!
Hello guys, hope you're week is off to a great start ☺
Since I proved to be so bad at keeping this blog updated as it should, I decided to make some changes; the first one being changing the "3 things Tuesday" to the "4 monthly things", which is going to be a sort of whishlist for what I plan to do over the current month.
This way I'll be sure to actually show you something, and also have fun with a bit of graphic ☺

Here's the one for June!

1.  I'll be booking my second and third tattoo, and I'm so excited about it! I'm all over again in that ink craving phase, and I can wait to get more of it on me. (Not that I'm actually getting the tattoo I drew up there tho, Ed.)
2. Sushi date with le boyfriend! We're both on a get-healthier "diet" so we haven't been to pubs or anything lately, but we're gonna break the rules and have some sushi.. it can't hurt right?!
3. Go to the movies to watch the Great Gatsby; I'm a fan of classics and I'm curious to see Leonardo Di Caprio in it, as he's one of my fave actors.
4. Last one, but probably the most important: I will reply to all the letters I accumulated last months and I'll force myself out of this writer's block I've experienced lately.

What are 4 things you wish to do this month?
Have a great day!

Hello guys, how's your week? Mine's okay so far, it's finally getting warmer and it seems like the rain won't show up for a while now. It's been a month probably, since I last posted about my "three things", so here's what I've been doing lately:

1. I uploaded my second video (my first being a very cr**py one about my WTJ) on YouTube, and I had so much fun doing it, that I'm fantasising about making a few more in the future, maybe about smashing/crafting/DIY, penpal things and more drawings. Therefore, it would really mean a lot to me if you could check out the video and let me know what you think? You know I really value your opinion! {On a side note, I uploaded with a very nice background song, but YT made me change it :c}

2. We adopted an itty bitty kitty ♥ He's a crossbreed of a Chartreux and a Burmese so we don't know how he's gonna look like, but he's already the cutest thing ever, so who cares! Oh and we've named him Duster ☺

3. Make sure you're not busy on May 3rd because a big announcement is coming your way, I'm so very excited about this project and I hope you guys will appreciate it too as it was a big investment of time and money, but you know.. the thing we do for (what we) love!

What have you been doing lately? You know I'm nosy :D
Have a lovely day,
ƒ.

Hey guys, how did your week start? I've been so busy putting the swap together that I can't remember doing anything else D: Also, as it wasn't enough, I caught a flu and I'm forced to stay home for a while.
Anyway, here's three thing I've been doing lately:

1. I've started a series of drawings inspired to the "whimsical woodland" theme. I don't know where I'm going with it yet, but I just enjoy drawing cute animals.. so :c Maybe a letter set? Let me know if you'd like it.

Hello guys! Have you had a nice week so far?
I've been really busy studying, I don't talk about anything else lately because I'm literally buried under piles of textbooks to study.. I'm not even halfway through them and and I'm already so bored!
Anyway, besides that, here's the three things I've done last week:

1. I raked up my acrylics and give painting a go after a long time, and that's what came out of it. It's obviously still a WIP, but I hope to finish it soon.

3 things

Hi guys! How's your Tuesday? I'm about to start an intense evening of study because exams are getting closer and closer.
Anyway, here's the three things I've been doing lately:

 1. Cleaning up my room I found an old sketchbook with this little drawing inside and I thought it was really cute so I made it into an illustration :)

Hi guys, I hope you're having a nice Tuesday ☺ I am, sort of.. but anyway, here's the three things I've been doing lately:

 1. I went with my boyfriend to a lovely flea market. Everything was so nice an cute, but I could barely afford anything :/ However I didn't leave empty handed..

Hello guys, it wasn't very polite of me to disappear from the internet right before Christmas and New Years Day, but some of you knows what happened, and if you don't, please just accept my most humble apologies. I really hope you all had a great Christmas and that 2013 has been good to you so far :)

As for me, after this hiatus I'm ready to catch up on my own blog and on those I love reading, but first, since I received a few requests, I wanted to show you what I got for Christmas.

(Obviously, it's not my intention at all to brag about what I got, I purely what to show my presents to those who are interested.)

My boyfriend got me some awesome presents, starting from this wooden letter rack (pictured with a postcard I got from Andie) with a gorgeous flower decoration ♥

Hi guys! Are you having a nice week? I hope so! Mine started with heavy rain, but today it was sunny and warm, so I went shopping for the last Christmas presents I still needed.
Anyway, these are three things I've done lately:

1. My boyfriend and I went to our favourite Japanese restaurant and had a lovely dinner of ramen, yakisoba and sushi <3

Hi guys! How are you? How's December so far? Here it's been freezing cold and we had a storm every other day, which led to flooding that caused roads collapses - crazy stuff. On the other hand, the Christmas spirit is beginning to be felt as all the shops decorated their windows, the streets have been embellished with themed lighting etc and I'm already racking my brain to sort out the Christmas presents for my family but I'm sure I'll end up buying most of them on the 24th as usual :(

Anyway here's what I've been doing lately:

1. I've been giving another go to digital painting, trying to reproduce that sketch I did last night. This is what I've done so far, but there's still a looot more to do. (I don't know if you can tell but the first frame of the gif is just so so bad, lol).

Hello guys!
Even though a week has passed, I'm still thrilled about last Tuesday concert, when I got to see Florence + the Machine live in Milan.
I honestly cannot express how many emotions I felt that night, as Florence's music touches me in a very unique way.
Moreover, I don't think to exaggerate when I say she's incredible on stage, not only because of her powerful voice and the notes she's able to reach, but also because her presence can light up a stadium filled with 10k people, which is quite an hard task.
For the whole duration of the concert she jumped from side to side of the stage, greeted us and thanked us many many times, and she was just so flawless whenever she danced and pirouetted on tiptoes.
I still can't get over it, it has been definitely the best concert I've attended so far (sorry Placebo, it wasn't easy for me to admit you've been overcame).

So today's 3 things are all about the concert, I hope you don't mind!

1. I shot this video during the last song they played, Dog Days Are Over, and I'm watching it over and over again because I'm obsessed with it.

Hi guys! While you're reading this, I'm hopefully standing in line to get into the venue of Florence + The Machine concert that I've been waiting to attend since this June! How are you doing?
This week I've been doing pretty random things, such as:

1. Watching Donnie Darko because both my boyfriend and I, love it. It's an awesome movie, if you haven't watched it yet, you're missing something, trust me!

Hello guys, how are you doing?
The weather here is super crazy, one day is freezing cold, the other is almost as hot as it was back in august :/  Why can't we just have a snowy, normal winter here?!
Speaking of that, the first thing I've been doing lately is:

1. I've been spending the time between classes getting warm under the sun in the garden of my University - which is a really nice place, even tho students are not supposed to stop there, but only passing by to get to their classes.

Hi guys! How's November started for you?
Mine OK, since here we have a holiday on the 1st, which this year fell on a Thursday becoming a looong holiday for the whole weekend :)

Anyway, that's what I've done lately:

1. I finally watched Dark Shadows, hence the awesome sketch above. Let me say that I'm a huge fan of Tim Burton works, but this movie.. meh. It wasn't exactly what I thought, and the plot was a bit too obvious and dragged, in my opinion. If you've watched it too, did you liked it?
Anyway I can forgive him, as I'm sure Frankenweenie is going to be awesome, but I still have to watch it, so I'll let you know another day!

Hello guys! How are you today?
Here where I live is getting really cold and I'm constantly sneezing, but apart from that I'm doing OK.
Last week I found a small sketching moleskine on my shelf, that I didn't even remember buying (because I always stock up on notebooks but never actually get the chance to use them..). Anyways, I got pretty excited and literally used it everyday since, trying to A) drawing people/stuff from memory (because I'm completely unable to draw without a reference, what a pro!) B) trying to improve with portraits. The 3 things for today are three sketches I made, which aren't complete rubbish :)

1. I tried to draw Florence from memory, and failed as you can see. However if you don't consider that I was trying to draw her, I think it's not too bad for a 2 mins sketch.

Hello guys :) for the three things of today's post, I thought about.. stamps!
I'm going to show you my top 3 favourite US stamps I own:

Hello guys, hope you're having a great week.
Mine started with a storm and cold wind, which are making me feel sick, but still, last week was reeeally nice instead.
On Thursday, I got to spend a lovely afternoon with my penpal Kelly and her friends, all the way from Chicago!
It was honestly one of the best experiences ever! It was my first time meeting someone from America and I was really worried at the beginning; I was afraid that my English wouldn't have been enough to sustain a conversation and things like that, but already after two minutes with her I felt so much better and everything went smoothly :)
Another thing I was worried about were awkward silences, but contrarily to my expectation, we had so many things to tell each other that there was no space for them!

Anyway, moving on to the three things, these are the things I enjoyed the most that day :)

1. We got some really good gelato.

3 things tuesday

Hello guys, today it finally feels like Autumn is behind the corner: the air is chilly, the sky is cloudy,  it isn't rainy weather yet but you can smell it in the air ahem, it just started raining.
Anyway, I'm not going to post 3 things I've done lately because, ugh, besides being in bed and going to the gym I haven't done anything interesting.
This post will be more likely about 3 things I like about Fall :)

source (x)

1.  The cosy feel of everything. (I know it's a weird thing to say, but Autumn just inspires me a sense of warmth and cosiness..)

3 thing tuesday

Hi guys :) How did your week begin?
Mine's okay so far and I spent the past days mostly drawing, focusing on an illustration I titled Demon Girl. (I'm sooo good at titles, woah).

1. It all started one night while I was listening to Bat For Lashes and sketched this.

3 things tuesday

Good afternoon guys! Once again I've been a little bit absent lately, I wish I could say I've been doing something productive, but that's quite not the case. Anyway, it's Tuesday, which in blog terms means share the stuff I've been doing lately:

1.  I've bought some pretty postcards that I'll be sending later these days :)
Fun fact: the middle one is shaped like a typical dessert of my town (I know it looks like a cork, but it's delicious!).

3 things tuesday

Hello guys, how is your week begun?
Here in my town has been raining a lot lately, and I haven't gone out much. Anyway, here's the three things I've been doing:

1. Painting random stuff. Proportion, you say? I don't know what you're talking about! No but, seriously, I will try to fix this mess one day.
