I took a photo of Katrina’s favorite shoes on her Uncle’s vintage kitchen tiles. We’re starting another regular post on color palette inspiration from photos we take weekly. Hope you find these colors inspiring.
I can relate to this wall art. Made me laugh when I saw it. I love art books and the bigger the better.

I just love the work of artist and illustrator Jordan Grace Owen who makes these awesome custom paper dolls. It would be great to have a unique family portrait framed near my desk for inspiration. Can’t wait to place our order.
Cool Idea for a Family Portrait
We’re starting a new series on orders for custom wax seal. This particular seal is a surprise gift from Mrs. E to Mr. E on their anniversary.
We went to Blu Kozina to try out Greek cuisine on our date night. I called ahead to make a reservation the week before since this place is usually packed on weekends.
We got a table at the first floor near the kitchen. Blu Kozina has 3 floors of restaurant space as well as an outdoors tent/section which is at the front of the shop. I was glad we got an indoor table because when it rained, the waiters quickly curtained off the outdoor tent with plastic sheets. I can just imagine how stuffy it is in there.
We ordered the Grilled Feta for our appetizer and as expected feta is always delicious. The oregano gave the cheese an extra punch of flavor.

For our main course, we got the Souvlaki me Pita which is beef kalamaki wrapped in pita bread served with chips

and Paidakia Stinsxara which is grilled lamb chops served with vegetables of the day.

Both main courses were delicious and cooked right. The beef and pita dish was well balanced and it had this creamy sauce which complemented it well. The fries were crispy and well salted. The lamb chops were tender and the vegetables of the day was this baked potato dish and this pureed vegetable.
For dessert, we had Baklava with honey which was a perfect dish to end the meal.

Overall, I would go back to this place for special occasions. The food is good, the staff are attentive and the place is charmingly decorated.
I was thrilled when I found out that the Art and Science Museum will be bring the Harry Potter Exhibit to Singapore on June. I’ve been a huge fan of the books and movies and it would be great to see the movie props from all 8 films. There are activities like pulling a Mandrake from its pot and tossing a quaffle.
See props from all 8 movies
I can’t wait til June.
I’ve always been fascinated with travel journals. Tokyo on Foot inspired me to learn watercolor so I can keep a travel sketchbook.
Cool illustrations by the author, Florent Chavouet
So last week, I decided I’m going to learn how to do watercolor. I know it will be challenging since I’m just learning this through reading books but I’m hoping to join a proper class sometime this year when I’m not so busy anymore.
I borrowed a few books on learning how to do watercolor from the library and I’am currently reading Trudy Friend’s Watercolour Problems and Solutions. This book shows what are the errors beginners usually do and how to fix them.
Lots of great tips and tricks to jump start my learning process
Here are a few of my watercolor projects:
