Those are two of my favorite things to do. I haven’t been doing both of those this past couple of weeks. We’ve been eating Panda Express, KFC, and frozen dinners (my poor hubby!), because I’ve been really busy preparing for our first show (which is this coming weekend!).

That’s why looking at these charming recipe illustrations from they draw and cook makes me want to go through this week quickly so I can go back to cooking and eating home-made meal again. And of course drawing as well :)

I was helping a friend the other day styling a food photography session, but what we did is just so different with what Evelina Bratell did with the food photography for IKEA’s baking book “Hembakat är Bäst” (Homemade is Best)! When I saw these I was blown away. She is a genius. These are phenomenal! I think I’d love to own the book even though I wouldn’t understand a word! All of the recipes are Swedish desserts.

The first day of February! Valentine’s day is just around the corner, and today I had the honor of guest-blogging a Valentine themed DIY project over at Mint. I’m so excited to share it with you!

Thank you SO MUCH Ellie and Mint readers for having me!
