About Me

Hello! See the girl on the left? It’s me! My friend illustrated me upon my very fervent request and I love it! She has huge eyes, which has always been my dream and is now a reality in an alternate universe.  And look at her perfectly sculpted just blow-waved hair! It certainly is a very flattering image. However, my friend has reassured me that in illustrations, you can be anyone and anything. How great is that?

I see you mustered up enough interest in this blog to learn more about me. I realise that is a very big deal (let’s face it, looking for buttons and clicking is hard work!) so thanks for that!

I’m Evelyn, and in early 2012 I had 100 days of – nothing. No job. No boy. No income.

God, I made that sound depressing. But wait – it’s actually not that bad!

What I did have was a whole list of things I wanted to do. And time. And a modest amount of cash to tide me over until my next job started.

So I did all the things I always wanted to do.

Ikebana classes. Papercraft.

Dining out. You know when you go out on a weekday and there are people having a long lazy lunches and you think, ‘Who-are-these-people-don’t-they-have-jobs-why-are-they-enjoying-life-I’m-so-jealous??‘ I was one of those people. Darn, that sentence is unfortunately in the past tense.

Baking. Photography. And blogging. And that is how 100 Days of Evelyn was born.

Fast forward to the present.

I am now a dentist 5 days a week. The rest of the time, I look for the next new thing to bake or photograph and blog about it. Sometimes, I even try to blow giant soap bubbles. Subscribe for new posts every Sunday and Thursday.
