Make custom portraits can be a very delightful experience, recently I had this commission for a sweet couple. They eloped on a museum and wanted to send this card to their loved ones. I drew a lot of details that are meaningful for them, like the beavers of the museum, their dog (that couldn't assist), and the fact that they had to toast with juice because that was the only thing that they had at that moment. How sweet is that? This is one of that moments when I feel very lucky to have this that now I can call my job :)

Have a nice Monday!

My experience with Firmoo.com (not sponsored)

Hey! Some time ago I was really bored with my glasses and I needed a change, so I started thinking of buying a new ones, but you know, there's no so much money for those quirks, so I started looking some websites that they offered very cheap glasses and I found Firmoo.com. I started reading some blogger experiences with them and I found that they were giving for free the first pair of glasses (from one selection),  I only had to pay the shipping. So why not? 

But the experience at the beginning was a bit weird (but it not was their fault) because I've ordered a glasses but they never arrived to my home, so I started asking them what happened. Their customer service people was so kind (and quick!) and they started searching what happened with my lost glasses. Finally we discovered that someone in my building named "Peter" had them. Here in Germany is very common that when you're not at home and some package for you arrives, the neighbors take it and then they give it to you. So I started my journey to search Peter but... surprise! There's no Peters in my building. This is still a mystery.

So what happened next was that they were offering me a new pair of glasses for free (with free shipping) but the model that I ordered was not available anymore. And I could choose any glasses I wanted from the whole store! Very cool. 

The glasses that I've chosen are these ones and I love them so much! 

As I said, this post is not sponsored, I just wanted to share my experience with this company. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions! :)

Have a nice sunday!

24

I don't know why but I've always wanted to be 24, It's an age that sounds pretty good to me.

Yesterday I had a wonderful day with Fran and a dinner with friends, I'd loved to be with my family and some friends, but not everything is possible, so I'll celebrate it anyways when I'm back in Mallorca (in 1 month!)

I think that this will be the best year, I'll be back home from living one year in Berlin, I'll have some work published, and If everything continues as planned, I'll have in my hands (and in some bookstores too) my first illustrated children's book. YAY!

I'm putting lots of expectations on you 24, so don't disappoint me!

Collaboration with Lazzari

Hello! Some months ago I received an e-mail from Lazzari, a beautiful online store in Italy. They were asking me if they could use one of my designs for making a dress. And here is the result! I couldn't be happier with the result, I think that the back of the dress is very cute.

Hola! Hace un par de meses recibí un e-mail de Lazzari, una bonita tienda online en Italia. Me preguntaron si podían usar uno de mis diseños para hacer un vestido. Y aquí está el resultado! No podría estar más contenta con el resultado. Creo que la parte de detrás del vestido es muy mona.

And they also have made a skirt in two colors!
I think that their spring/summer collection is amazing, what I really love the most of this store is that all are handmade, you can see that everything is made with love.

Y también han hecho una falda en dos colores!
Creo que su colección primavera/verano es increíble, lo que más me gusta de esta tienda es que todo lo que tienen está hecho a mano, se puede ver que todo lo que hay está hecho con amor.



Have a great week!

Laura.

Que tengáis una buena semana!

Let it snow...

Hey! It's been a few weeks since I took these photos. Berlin is super sunny lately and the snow seems not coming back. But I hope that it's coming at least one more time!

Before the snow, there was ice everywhere and it was so dangerous! I was walking clinging to the wall and all the trees that I could and seeing a lot of people falling on the floor (not fun...) I even saw a dog falling (that was fun hehe).

For me it's so special to see the snow, can you believe that in my whole life I've only seen snowing a few times? This was the first time that I woke up in the morning and everything was covered in white!

Hey! Hace ya un par de semanas desde que tomé estas fotos. Berlin está super soleado últimamente y la nieve parece no querer volver. Pero espero que vuelva al menos una vez más!
Antes de la nieve, había hielo por todo y era súper peligroso! Iba caminando agarrándome a la pared y a todos los árboles que podia y viendo cómo un montón gente se caía al suelo (no era divertido...) incluso vi un perro caerse (eso si que fue gracioso jeje).
Para mi es muy especial ver la nieve, os podéis creer que en toda mi vida solo he visto nevar un par de veces? Esta fue la primera vez que me desperté por la mañana y todo estaba cubierto de blanco!

Spreading some love

Sincerely, I've never celebrated Valentine's day, and I don't think that I'm going to do it. But I don't think that there's something wrong about it, why don't celebrate love? :)

Today I wanted to make people smile a bit, I hope that I've succeed.

Hugs,

Laura

Sinceramente, nunca he celebrado el día de San Valentín, y no creo que vaya a hacerlo. Pero no por eso no creo que haya nada de malo en ello, por qué no celebrar el amor? :)

Hoy quería hacer sonreír un poco a la gente, espero haberlo conseguido.

Un abrazo,

Laura.
