Flowers

 

It has been pouring for days now. So no picking flowers in the sun, but still enough flowers to enjoy inside.

1. I forgot what seed I planted, surprise surprise..
2. Tile wisdom best translated with ´there is no place like home´ I replaced the dark brown frame with this bright pink, really happy with how it turned out.
3. Portrait of my little sister making big descisions

perfect weather

for drawing outside

Sunday Bubble

a 100 years could have passed by without me noticing it. It's the best.

Cure for Spinning Thougts

Write it down, Walk it off.

Light

Suddenly everything is bathing in Light outside. Reflected through the white snow. Absorbed by my skin ánd my heart. A Panacea for free.

Hey there!

Remember me ;)? I wish you all a very blessed & inspriring and creative 2012!

The storm that is raging outside at the moment is very suiting for the storms I have been experiencing in my own life the last couple of weeks. But I won't let rain and wind discourage me. A blank page lies in front of me, ready to be filled with good things. Welcome 2012!

I wonder

..where that Star will take me.

Status Update

After a week of liters of tea and lemon juice and a mountain of paper tissues the flue finally seems on its return. Slowly getting back to work. Can't wait to go for a walk in the park and absorb all the beautiful yellows and oranges.

Exotic

I love hanging out with my nephew, through his eyes the world is an exotic place again.

(He's my big inspiration for kids illustrations at the moment)

A Flower A Day

This week I made an habit of picking one or two wild flowers before entering the house again. Such a sweet reminder of enjoying the little things!

Yesterday

Sometimes my head feels a bit like a pressure cooker. Than I need to go to the park to let the pressure of. This cute acorn seems to have found his own way of letting the thoughts go freely :)

Droodeling

Creatively stuck? Time for some droodeling! (I love ikea drawing paper on a roll for that)

Page Two

I went on a walk this morning to find the right background for the print I'm making out of page two of my new sketchbook. I love any excuse for a walk, espacially since I refound these boots (stored in my brothers garage) which I bought seven years ago.

Homeplace

is a feeling of belonging.

Refreshed

It was only a weekend but the sun, the water and the change of environment make me feel refreshed.

(pic 2 is my sister, I took a huge risk taking a swim with my camera, but I couldn't resist :), I love how the light is reflected on the water)

A good summer day..

is spend in the park & closed with good friends.

(1: what to bring to the park 2. I love my new sandals)

Trios

(Trios is this weeks theme of 'corner view', a weekly theme with participants all over the world)

Notes to Myself

& to anyone else who needs to be reminded. Sponsored by left over papers, Indian ink, pen and a big cup of green tea.

(ps. It's so grey here, but they say the sun is on it's way..)

Pj's & Pizza

Outside it's pooring. Inside it's phone off, pj's on & pizza. I forgot how great pj-days were.

(ps. for the dutchies: en vanavond Zomergasten.. :)

Through the eyes of a child

When I was a kid I wanted to be an inventor. One of my 'inventions' was a flying machine out of a cardboard box and balloons. I was convinced that I could take my sisters and friends on a flying trip if only I had enough balloons. Now I'm older and wiser and 'know' that it is not possible. To some extend it is a good thing to learn that there are limits, it keeps us safe. But I do wonder sometimes if we don't learn this there-are-limits-lesson to well. That we put limits where they don't need to be. I want to see the world again through the eyes of a child.
