Hiiiiiii

Today the dutch court came to the verdict that internet is just as much a basic need as having clothes and  a roof over your head. I hate to admit it -being a back to basic kind of girl- but after two moths of having almost no internet at all, I have to agree. Fortunately that is about to change soon.
How is 2013 starting for you? I know it´s popular to be sceptic about new years resolutions, but I like them, as long as they represent the vision you have for your life. It´s hard to keep resolutions you adopt from others or society, it doesn´t hurt taking time what you would like to change and why.

Pictures: 1. collage I am ´growing´ of my favorite designs 2. It´s soo cold (but I like it) 3.Thrifted kitchenwear 4. Back pencils these days, less messy than paint and the good ones give a great result.

Happy 2013!

Train Drawing

Smell of coffee, snow landscapes, pens & dummie; a sweet trip, with a sweet destination. It's been to long since I saw my friends. Happy Sunday!

Serendipity

Playing around doubles..no triples the chance to discover amazing new things!

Thankful

Counting your blessings is such an easy way to improve life. It doesn't always make challenges
 go away, but it helps me see how small they really are compared to the Blessings in my life. Lots to be Thankful for!

I made a plate (and lots of other stuff) to remind myself of that fact every meal :) Thanks to my brother-in-law & siss who bought me these glass and porcelain pens..the best gift ever!

That time of the year

I usually have two real creative peak times a year: one wandering in foreign places during summertime, one when it's getting colder, which means around this time. I wasn't feeling it yet this year, so today it was time to mentally & creatively prepare for good winter times!

Longing

I love trusting my longings to paper, its their first step into existence

Simplify

Simplify, get rid of the noise, focus on things that deserve your attention.

(Thank you all for your sweet words on my previous post!)
