I’ve really missed taking pictures and writing here. hopefully as soon as the holiday season will have flown by things are going to get back to normal.

today was the most perfect Christmas day ever. present-opening. hot chocolate-drinking. turkey-eating. movie-watching. iPod-touching. hope yours was lovely too.

as Christmas is getting closer, I’m having less and less time to post around here. in the meantime, you might want to stop by my tumblr, where I sort of bookmark my favourite images around the internet.

this beautiful picture was found on abby’s blog. her photography is magic.

having just spent the past thirteen hours making bûches de noël for the big upcoming Christmas rush, I can’t really offer anything special.
luckily, I still have my eyes to read and look at the many pretty things my friends do/make. here are some of my recent favourites. go say hi!

last night my sister and I decided to the heavy rain and fog to rent a couple of movies. je vais bien ne t’en fait pas was one of them.

beautiful and moving.

I might be the greatest broken record of all times, but damn, time has flown by really fast lately. not a second was spent on the computer – which means a lot about how busy I am at the moment.

hopefully I’ll finally be able to share a few of my recent favourites tomorrow (and finish my two thousand nine calendar!) since I have a day off. and while I’m talking about my day job, I must admit I’m pretty excited about how much work we have at the moment. Christmas defintely is one of the busiest periods for pâtisseries and I just loved making thousands of bûches, entremets and tarts.

anyway, here are some doodles I drew, scanned and illustrator-ed. hope they set you in the mood for snow-walking, knitting and pretzel-munching!

I simply couldn’t resist. here is a sneak peek of the two thousand nine calendar I’ve been working on lately. polaroids. clouds. handwritting. black lines. I like it.

hopefully you’ll lke it too.

a couple of blogs I’ve just added to google reader. hope you’ll like them as much as I do.
