away & back (II)



dear friends, i have a confession to make:
the same roll of film has been inside my camera for over two months now.

quite a few things kept me away
film & lab costs where getting higher and higher;
flickr got a redesign that made me cry every time i logged in;
wasted a considerable amount of time on pinterest;
bought a new dslr;
spent a lot of time embroidering;
had a lot of work to do &
i started a new blog

i generally don't talk much of my work here, but i've been so away that i thought you should know.
i work as a children illustrator and, for many, many years, i had a blog that was just a portofolio
but lately, after much doubting and debating, i decided that it was time to redesign the gallery and add a little blog.
it will never ever replace what aprons and birds is to me, thou. i just love this little blog so much.

cocinando colores will be updated with handmade projects, illustrations and digital everyday photos
and aprons and birds will be what it was always meant to be, a film diary of sorts


i have a few rolls of film from april/may that i haven't shared yet
a morning at the botanical garden & a few days out in the country
so maybe i'll start with that.
meanwhile, pixel has been getting even more adorable and cuddable
and he's soon approaching his second birthday


hope these two past months were good to you
i do miss you all so dearly 

love,
toi.- 

ps. thank you all so much for your lovely comments and birthday wishes!

a day in may (II)

and i am not alone while my love is near me
i know it will be so until it's time to go 
so come the storms of winter and then the birds in spring again
i have no fear of time



today i'll meet up with my mom for breakfast
and later m. & i will go for autumn stroll to the botanical garden,
i'll take a nap, read a book, play with pixel, put on a pretty dress 
and go out to dinner with family and friends.

i will be a year older, once again
time passes by so fast
