SUSHI&GIMBAP.

Our weekend was full of food and culture :)! We were at the cinema and theatre and at home we watched The Weeds serie (hate the addiction on series :D).. Yesterday we were making SUSHI (some vegetarian with cucumber and some with smoked fish) and GIMBAP - korean sushi (with cucumber, ham and egg omelette) - for the first time :)! It was quite fun and also tasty, but I'm not sure about the taste of nori because of its fishy odour..

And as a desert we had some korean fruit looks like half apple half pear (the right one on the pic).. I don't remember how it names, but i have to find out, because the taste of it was
a little bit weird, but cool :)) and I want to try it again..
So look and tell me, what do you think ... .)
And how was your weekend .)?

new things for my fler.cz shop.

I've created a new rubber stamps for my fler.cz shop (something like etsy, but for Czechs and Slovaks) - one with squared panda and one with the title "hand made by PANDY." (PANDY. is my nickname on this webside), so I had to use it also for some creating :)... I made some new paper things - stationery set with colour envelopes and a a set of envelopes with hand painted funny pandas.. and some textile things - a tote bag and a maxi t-shirt with a little panda.. here it is :)..

creative weekend!

Hi, guys :)!

How was your weekend? Mine was very productive! I'm so thankful for so much free time for creating things :) and for people who have a patience for me! I've learned how to work with sewing-mashine (thanks, mum!) and I've sewn 2 pillow sheets from a lovely fabric with origami pattern (on the photo, more photos of pillows soon).. so proud of it .))! Then my grandma and boyfriend's mum were trying to teach me to crochet.. so now I know how to make the basic pattern and I'm continuing with it .), maybe I'll do all long long scarf (haha)!

I've also discovered a talent for drawing people :D (I really hope I have it and also hope you haven't a different opinion :D).. I've tried to draw my boyfriend and some funny girl's faces (trying to find some "my style".. but I think it will take some time).. here it is.. just tell me, what you think .)!

first moleskine drawings.

I was drawing all evening and here it is, my first pics in my moleskine :)... I just love it!
I know I'm not the first one with the concept "What I was wearing today.." but still,
I wanted to try it too :) and I think I was doing quite well, some people told me, that she really looks like me, so I think I'll continue with this concept :)! (yeah, the right one is much much better, that black marker sucks, B pencils rocks! .))

Sweet dreams you all!
