without noticing you were even climbing,
you reach a peak from which you have a view you never knew
it lay waiting there for you to see all along.

… in my life these days?

Well, for one: I am happy, HAPPY,

HAPPY

to say that the cover of FEATURING magazine is finished and looks

ABSOLUTELY fabulous

if I may say so myself.

(… and NO, I am not going to show it – yet.
Allow me to rub my hands together in satisfaction all by myself for
a while longer – a few weeks from now issue #1 will be out and you all
get the chance to see it then.)

That’s not the only secret I keep -  I have a sneak peek of a new art journal
page for you at the end of this post. But all the other events of last week are
public and readable on my weekly art journal page…

It is around 69  Fahrenheit/20,5 Celsius today.
No, I didn’t spend a day at the beach, but I imagined one!
I made a sunny page with a haiku for Haiku my Heart Friday.

The sun is shining in the Netherlands, my Mojo is back, issue #1
of FEATURING is almost ‘ready to be born’, I have some free time,
I mopped & polished the floors downstairs with wax, I just received
the sweetest letter from my best friend and crocuses exult in the
front yard. Now aren’t that reasons enough to celebrate life?

It’s ‘Haiku my Heart Friday’ and last week I tried something different…
It all had to do with the FEATURING store that went online.

Not only can people order the magazine, they also can buy a square inch space
on the back cover of the magazine – and this is where my idea came from.

The information says that you should send in ‘art inchies’  only
because it is almost impossible to read text on a square inch.
Yes, I know the info says that, I wrote that myself!

But…

… what about haiku?
Haiku doesn’t have much words.
Would that work?
So I experimented a bit.
See what I did.

I pulled and pulled… and *POP*… my Mojo slipped right back in!
Not that I have much time to play with him, but I put him in the corner
where the Muse was quietly weeping for the loss of her husband.
She stopped crying immediately and send a tentative smile my way.

I realize I have to take better care of this couple.
I  nurse them lovingly now.
I water them, I caress them, I blow kisses to them from the place where I sit.
‘Sorry guys, I have to finish some work and then you can come out to play.’

On Sunday, I asked them politely to come out of their corner to play with me.
They did! We had fun!

Oohh, happy playful joyful Sunday!
