home + a film

why hello there!  i made a little film, which you should definitely watch in HD. ;) thoughts?

Happy Monday!

eat, sleep, create, v.4

Just like v.2, this project was a last-minute scramble to get a present in for a special-someone's birthday.  Rather than bunting for an anniversary gift, I needed a card for my little sister who was turning five.  I had a few words in my head that described the way I wanted the card to look like:  colourful, creative, quirky, and fun.  After working away for 20 minutes, a big coral balloon, a little girl with pigtails and a dress, and a very large and colourful T (the birthday girl's initials) was the finished result.

Do you like it?

good friends

honeysuckles and a bee

a shard of light

grass falling

moonlight and breezes and delicate flowers

it's winter now:  snow and a snow man.

tea (pour, sip, steam).

I've discovered the world of filming (and fallen in love with it).

psst... I'd love your opinion - what did you think of this film? (Never-mind its imperfections, because there are so many.)

lately

During this past week, I've been living life fully and intentionally. Rather than blogging, photographing, and writing about life, I lived more of it -- and just that little bit more passionately. My short hiatus and escape of the screen resulted in a replenished, refreshed and renewed soul. For the record, you (and I) should do this on a more regular basis.

      reading | through my IGCSE English books for this school year

                 listening | 'falling stars'; my blog music

                 drinking | lemon + ginger tea

                 eating | la prune ('plum' in French)

                anticipating | visiting Wales, which = friends + good times

                loving | heart aches (mostly good ones) when thinking about the dimming of summer and unfurling of fall; hot tea, good reads, learning how to say words in French and getting the pronunciation right, playing piano, and black + white photography.  // post as inspired by abbey //

and just to top it all -- here's a little video for you. it's not great; the filming is choppy and you tube blurred some of the scenes. but it's okay because it's like life: imperfect.

before playing the video, scroll down to the 
bottom of the page and pause the blog music. :)
