Starting with L

 

Lists are a life saver for brains wired like mine and visual lists, as  I am discovering lately, are even better! What about you?

Plan de Campagne..

 

Using some of the big stack of illustration ideas that are piling up in my studiospace before I sketch new ones, repairing old clothes before buying new once (I have already been keeping that rule for a whole year! gifts and giftcards excluded) Rereading my books about creativity and non conformitive lifestyles before getting myself new ones. Improving ´old´ skills instead of learning new ones. Adding a little more policy to my vison, thats my way to go for the next two months!

(Reply on my previous post: I´m progressing slowly through the book, but I already love how it challenges ideas about economy -normally not really my interest- related tot creative talent and the artist)

Small Pleasures

 Black coffee on cold mornings (and every other morning :))/ The room suddenly bathing in sunlight/Books that make you look differently at life

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.

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!
