Elisabeth von Malinowski, PhD

It's Shrove Tuesday 
(dress-up day in our country)
and there's a scientist 
in our lab (emmm, kitchen) :) 





Please give a warm welcome to 
Elisabeth von Malinowski, PhD!

She chose the name herself. 
She's been reading Agatha Christie a lot lately ...

Meet Your Neighbours©

One of my many beautiful birthday presents this year, 
from my big brother & his family!




My big bro is an avid nature photographer, he contributes to many renowned nature photography magazines, including National Geographic Slovenija, and he participates in a very interesting project, Meet Your Neighbours©. He knows all about my love for Scotland, and the first pic was taken especially for me :) 

Thank you so much, I loved my present!

My Pianist

He attended a piano competition yesterday.


Fabulous performance. 


And I'm not the only one who thinks so ... :) 


My boy!

P.S.: Sorry I don't have his performance on video (yet) but this is what he played:

:: Rachmaninov Prelude in C-sharp minor ::
:: Grieg March of the Dwarfs ::
:: Gershwin An American in Paris ::
:: Rijavec Dancing at Zagorca ::

Sorry!

Right, so sorry about that. Last year apparently wasn't exactly my best blogging year. I stopped publishing sometime in October, even though there were many ideas at the back of my mind that I wanted to share with you. I kept taking pictures for a while but once I realized I couldn't find any time for posting them I stopped that as well. 

We're well into the new year already, my birthday has passed (I always associate my birthday with Christmas & New Year holidays, as I was born on January 6), and hopefully my blogging energy will restore. I did something a good blogger would never do, I guess, I posted the old photos with the approximate dates they were meant to be posted - once again, sorry about that. I can't promise to be a regular contributor in 2015 but I will do my best. I still very much enjoy following your blogs, though!


And if my blog is a sort of an unfinished project, here's another one! I've wanted to crochet a blanket for aaages, and I've had these granny squares made for at least two years, but I somehow can't bring myself to actually finish the darn thing. So here's to a challenge in 2015! Will keep you posted on the progress, I promise!

Surprise Cupcakes

My boy likes to surprise his classmates 
with yummy vanilla cupcakes 
he's rather famous for. 


And trust me, he really does make 
absolutely delicious little cakes! 


He always asks me to do the frosting, though, 
and I'm happy to oblige :)


                   Gone in a jiffy, I was told!
