Hamburg

We had some free time in December over the New year so we decided to venture to Hamburg and it was a great decision. It is such a vibrant city and the Christmas Market was amazing.

There were so many beautiful buildings, parks, walks and the vibe would change as you walked around. We were staying in an Airbnb near the Aubenalster lake which was stunning, this is where we watched the fireworks which were breathtaking. The curving building following the water canals were great and we loved seeing the radio tower from lots of different angles.

We took so many photos as there was so much to see and do. It is a great place and I recommend a three day or longer trip to see everything properly. Also prepare to walk a lot it's a big place.

Bow Ties!

We actually made these for our wedding as gifts for the bridal party, then in the evening we made a little basket of them for everyone to wear it was super fun!

Little Glasses Lady

Sketch I was trying with my new HB pencil brush, I think this one was Size 4/5. Mixed it with a flat colour brush and then some shading. Was really happy with this style but just need to try and polish it a little more.

EIffel Tower/ Moulin Rouge

Paris!

To round off our trip and recovering from our epic day in Disney we had a walk to the Eiffel tower, it was a lovely day and a strange place because it was different to how I had imagined it.
If you don't go to the top it's worth the walk to Palais de Chaillot, it was a great view and less touristy.

We then had a little time left so walked up to see the Moulin Rouge, I am an avid fan of the film and had to see it for myself, there was a great buzz around it and cool energy, I really enjoyed it! Around the corner was also the cafe des Deux Moulins from Amelie which was really cool to see. Worth an adventure to this part of Paris I highly recommend.

Sketching day :D

Sketching time!

I had  a chance to try out the Adobe Sketchbook App it's really cool and still figuring out the buttons and getting used to using it. So far I really love the simple style, easy to use interface and variation of brushes. Tried these two tests and reasonably happy with them. Hoping to do some more experimenting soon so stay tuned for some more updates soon!

Thanks for reading! :D

Disneyland Paris

Disneyland! What is there to say bout it really, it is super fun and I highly recommend it. We stayed in Paris and went for the day which made for a great long weekend and we got to see some of Paris too which was fantastic.

- If you only have a day I would say plan your time wisely and definitely use your fast passes to guarantee entry to the rides your are most looking forward to.

- Take some food the lunch ques and prices are crazy.
- check out the castle, it is more than a gift shop, there is an amazing gallery upstairs and a dragon below :O
- The parades are worth waiting around for, but get there early enough to get a good spot.
- Leave some time to explore the shops they are pretty awesome!
- Enjoy yourself and get lost in the magic!

The Lourve - Paris

After a many years we finally had a the chance to go to Paris and where we had the opportunity to visit the Lourve, it's a place I have wanted to go to for many years and it was incredible to finally go there. So that's why I thought I would write a little about our experience and post a few photos.


Overall there was some beautiful artwork there, the Mona Lisa was a bit underwhelming overall as it was extremely overcrowded and impossible to truly appreciate it.

It is definitely worth a visit and you need quite a lot of time if you want to experience it all. The ques can get busy and long. I would recommend arriving early, pre-book tickets online and use the shopping mall entrance!

Write a comment if you would like any more information :D

Thanks!

Rosedew Farm - Our Wedding

Just wanted to write a little update I guess to get myself back into this blogging business and to explain the quiet spell. April Last year I married Ieuan, my best friend at Rosedew Farm in Llantwit Major, which is in South Wales. It was an incredible day and we had the most amazing time celebrating with our family and close friends. It's been a fantastic year so far full of lots of travelling and adventures. We recently returned from our honeymoon and are finally getting stuck into drawing and our shop we have started called I&M.

Anyhow enough from me, I may post a few more crafty things from the wedding as we did make almost everything (apart from the barn :O) ourselves and it was incredible how much money you can save. This venue was perfect for a peaceful location with only our crew on the property which made it very intimate. The staff were excellent and the family that own the farm are lovely people.

If your looking at it as a venue and would like some information or have questions just comment below :D

Thanks for reading! x
