Before I forget, I have a little poll going on over there on the right side ----------> somewhere in the bar, where you can vote and let me know what kind of content you would like see more of on Dance the Drizzle. So go ahead and tick some boxes :) Now to business: this is what I've been up to during the weekend: Basically I pulled out a little box of beads and other components that I had put aside more than a year ago with the noble intention of making myself some earrings in green and blue, as my collection had been missing something decent in those particular colours. Well anyway, as the weather finally remembered that it's supposed to be freezing cold in January, I've spent the weekend tucked up at home, safe and warm, watching endless hours of British crime tv series and making these lovely sparkly bad boys. It proved to be a little more time consuming than I had expected. Turns out that the first one of the pair is just really difficult as you

Early on in a new year it is always time of reminiscing about the year gone by. Well, no, usually one does that towards the end of December.

If you're anything like me, it really is too easy to look at your life and see only the un-a

Five days into the new year and already I feel like I'm lagging behind with loads of things. Mainly with my beloved bloggie. But fear not readers, I'm on a mission to fix things asap. Here is your complimentary edition of Music Monthly to wrap up 2013. Starting off with a bit of a dark waltz by a Czech band Mandrage . I'm not particularly interested in them, but from time to time they come up with something fresh and new that catches my ears. Moreover, as I have been indulging in Dancing With The Stars again (American season and the concurring Czech one), when I first heard this, my head immediately translated it onto the dance floor. I wish somebody could dance to this on the show. Happy. I think this doesn't need any explaining. That was me in the first half of December. All busy with singing, blogging and other life thingies... I was intentionally trying to keep myself busy so that I wouldn't have time to be sad. You know what? It works :) It works, but
