Summery Creative Delights & Ventures Into The Unknown

-
You already know what I have been listening to recently, but I couldn't resist and had to share some more about what I've been doing. Among a lot of boring but necessary things that have kept me busy, I have been looking into improvements and things I could do for this blog. And the big news is: 

You can now follow Dance The Drizzle on Bloglovin' if you want to !!! If you are not aware of it, Bloglovin' is basically an online environment for you to read all of your favourite blogs, keep track of what you've already read, etc. That's all I know. I'm new. But I've heard only good things about it and many bloggers that I read swear by it and recommend it. So I thought, why not give it a try. If you are on Bloglovin', follow Dance The Drizzle here.

Anyway, now for some artsy stuff: There's nothing I love more than spending endless hours (I wish!) watching my current favourite TV series and making some crafty magic happen at the same time. Summer, traditionally, is the time when everybody else except for me, goes off on holidays, visiting foreign places and exciting events, and I am stuck at home feeling slightly jealous. However, the fact that I am not able to travel much at the moment doesn't mean that I don't get the travelling vibe. And I am very happy that this time I managed to turn it into something positive and creative. These are my latest, travel-y themed, card babies :) I made two very similar ones, differing only in the sentiment. I hope somebody will find good use for them and that they will put a smile on a weary traveller's face :)



Back to new bloggy tips and tricks! Oh this is turning out to be a very incoherent and erratic blogpost, sorry about that. I've discovered a blog called Bonjour Blogger, which is a super great place, especially for a blogging newbie like me. There's lots of useful and practical information there (among other things, which you can always skip if they don't apply to your particular blog situation), plus links to other useful websites and thingies. It has certainly encouraged me to go and try things! For example I decided to start learning some photo editing, because I want my blog to have nice pictures, so I went on and tried Picmonkey. The results of my first attempts can be seen in this post :)

I realize that baking might not technically fall into the "creative corner" category, at least not in the sense I originally intended, but consider these lovely raspberry yummies, muffins I mean, to be an artistic creation. I got a muffin recipe book last Christmas and I can't believe it took me so long to try some! Well here they are and haven't they turned out well, ladies and gentlemen? :)


I may need more raspberries next time.

I think that's all I wanted to say for now. Pictures are posted, so... yep. Bye for now, have a nice summer and I'll catch you next time. Either with some more music something completely different and unexpected. You never know what's going to happen. It's the internet.

Take care! xx

Hudson Taylor at Electric Ballroom

Well aren't you good at patiently waiting for me to get it together? I hope the following music-y ramblings will not disappoint you. In all honesty, the timing of this post could not be any better, because Hudson Taylor's debut album has only just been released in Ireland and for the rest of us the wait is almost over. Trust me, 23rd March will be here sooner than you think. Head over to hudsontaylormusic.com to find out about how and where you can pre-order it. (Or indeed, purchase if you have the proverbial luck of the Irish :) ) Now, let me once again take you back in time, to last summer, 5th June 2014, if you want me to be date specific. On that memorable day I strolled around Regent's Park and in the evening I went to my first (and hopefully not last) concert in London. I've already talked about the supporting musicians: Kimberly Ann and the oh so amazing Flyte (still not over them!), but now comes the time to talk about the music that I

Music Monthly: September 2013

I am not even going to try and come up with an apology for this article being 2 weeks late. It just is. Deal with it :) Why not take a little mid-October brake from digging in the back of our closets, searching for where the heck are all the gloves and scarves and warm wolly sweaters, make yourself and nice cuppa of something warm and listen to a couple of songs I assembled last month. As always, it's a little bit of everything: mainstream, indie, folky... I hope you find something you like. First up, yet again, Hudson Taylor . One more song and then I'll shut up about them. Haha, as if :D  First they would have to stop producing such lovely and heart warming music and that is unlikely. (New EP is out now, go get it on iTunes!) Anyway, this is about September and there was one song in particular that spoke to me more than the others. It's one of their oldies, from a couple of years back, and it's called "Concrete Walls" . Sadly, I must say that a lot of t

Milé divadlo, chybíš mi!

Dnes je Noc divadel. Měla jsem být.. hádejte kde. Nikdy dřív jsem se Noci divadel neúčastnila, nebyla odvaha/s kým jít, ale moje posedlost láska k divadlu je čím dál silnější, a letos to mělo vyjít. Měla jsem to všechno naplánované. Měla jsem dnes být v divadle. A nejsem. Všichni víme proč. Také všichni víme, že se pravidla, respektive možnosti toho, jak divadelní představení (ne)smějí fungovat, mění téměř před očima a záhadně, občas trochu proti zdravému rozumu. Nejnovější perlička: “Divadla smějí hrát, ale bez diváků.”… Ne, nebudu to tady komentovat, nemá to smysl. Je rok 2020. Nic nedává smysl. Místo toho raději napíšu o tom, proč divadlo miluju, co mi na něm chybí a proč je živý zážitek z představení nenahraditelný. Takový malý milostný dopis pro divadlo.
