Maslenitsa, matrioskas y modelos
Salida de domingo a Trafalgar Square a ver el festival ruso. Interesante, con mucha gente y puestos , La modelo Natalia Vodianova promocionando las camisetas del festival. Encantadora ella posando con los crios de sus compatriotas y no tan crios que la pedian fotos, "model behaviour" que dirian los ingleses.
Going out on Sunday to see the Maslenitsa Russian Festival in Trafalgar Square. We enjoyed some music, food and even got to see a supermodel at work.
Tropece con ellos - I found them on my way

Descubrimientos ganchilleros - Crochet discoveries
Ojeando un libro de decoration encontre estos marcos de cortinas a ganchillo. Me encanta la forma tan delicada como enmarcan la cortina. La idea de una red con motivos encima inspira multitud de aplicaciones. Creo son victorianos a juzgar por estas revistas, y el nombre es portieres.
I found this crocheted curtains pelmets while leafing through a decoration book and I was attracted to them. I do not even know what they are called but they look old, I wonder if they are victorian. I did a quick search and found some curtain patterns called portieres which look similar. They idea of a net base with some applique motives is great and it can be applied to so many things.

Admire el arte mecanografico de Keira Rathbone, los accesorios de Tatty Devine, recogi mi palabra del Word-a-Coaster, jugue con la sopa de letras y vi la pared de libros en la sala Ultralounge. Volvi el viernes pasado para la sesion de bordado que dio la artista Sally Nencini usando diseños de su marido el tambien artista Peter Nencini.

Cuidados labiales - Lip care
Llevaba unos dias con los labios resecos y buscando remedios naturales di con este balsamo hidratante para labios secos y agrietados. Facil y rapido de preparar, listo para user en cinco minutos.
Mezclamos agua de rosas (yo use una para cocinar) y miel a partes iguales, calentando los ingredientes hasta que esten tibios. Dejamos enfriar y guardamos en un frasco. Usar con la frecuencia necesaria. Lo prepare en el mismo frasco en el que lo guarde, calentandolo al baño Maria, ya que era tan poca cantidad. El resultado une las propiedades antisepticas de la miel con la hidratacion y suavidad que dan las rosas.My lips were a bit dry recently, so I made a moisturizing balm with a bit of honey and rose water. I warmed up equal amounts of each ingredient . Let it cool, put it in a container. Use as often as needed. I used cooking rose water and prepared it on the same container I kept it.

Corazones dulces - Sweet hearts
Inspirada por los tutoriales de Momo y Morgana decidi probar a hacerme unos azucarillos acorazonados, para festejar el dia V. El color es natural nada de colorante artificial pues utilize jugo de remolacha hervida. No salieron perfectos, pero para ser la primera vez no me quejo.
Inspired by the tutorials of Wedding Chicks and Lalaloveblog I tried my hand at preparing some heart sugar lumps. Some are a bit wonky, others spent too long in the oven but overall they are OK for a first timer like me. I avoided artificial food colorants by using boiled beetroot juice.
