Good morning lovelies… I’m typing this with a nice glass of home-made ice tea right next to me because we ‘suffer’ from a real heatwave over here in the Netherlands. I guess when you live in certain parts of the world, these temperatures are peanuts, but for Europe over 30°C (86 Fahrenheit) is unusual. I rose early, when it was still nice to drink coffee on the balcony, and did the grocery shopping right after that so that I can stay inside for the rest of the day. My atelier is the coolest place to be, ain’t that great?
Here’s how my work desk looks
See how bright the light is outside? However, this is the shadow side of the building (facing North-West) and the sun only shines on the windows when it sets.
I’m working on week 33 in my Chronicles art journal… as you can see, it will be a colorful spread.
Here are the finished spreads from the weeks before.

The Chronicles of Marit 2016 – Week 32
Thanks for stopping by.
Enjoy your day,
stay cool,
sip ice tea.
Happy WOYWW. We have been having a heatwave in the UK, but not so extreme over here in West Wales. I think we had about 25 yesterday and today only about 21, which is still very pleasant. I am going to do a bit more tidying up in the garden later. I can only do about 20 minutes, so I try to do a bit each day. Loving your journal pages. How fantastic to do one each week. Ali x #12
Glorious desk, loving your “chronicles” pages
Happy WOYWW

Desk looks so tidy. We had heat 100 a few days while the grands visited so we went to the pool. Heavy rains lately 5 inches and lots of thunder & lightening the other night. So is very humid, and that slows me down. Enjoyed your journal pages also. Stay cool and enjoy the week
Hello Marit 🙂
Sorry its been a while since I last visited… hope all well at your end of the world.
Was just over 32c. here today, and just had wine with our lunch – which isn’t a good idea when its so hot – can hardly stand now 🙂 if you have any spare ice-tea left could you send it my way please 🙂
Love your desk – it looks sooooo tidy!
Love your journal pages too – love your style!
One of the books I’m reading at present is by Danny Gregory so I hope to get more into this soon.

That’s what I do on hot day too if I can help it! That’s the only way I can bear the heat. Cool pages – I love your pen work! Enjoy the rest of the summer! zsuzsa #21

Yes, we’ve had it horribly hot in the UK too the last few days I don’t “do” heat well! Love your desk though, and your pages are fabulous. Bet you see some great sunsets through that window! Helen #1
Marit… what a lovely post… and I GET IT! 30+ Celsius temperatures here in Canada are just too hot for us too! Your Art Journal spreads are making me drool… I love the richness of your color choices and how your journaling becomes part of the design…. I have such a hard time with my journalling.. I ususally end up just painting overtop of it… I find your work Inspiring! Keep Cool Sweetie and Happy Belated WOYWW, Scrapbook Lynne #37
I really loved seeing the way you labeled everything on your desk. I love that you have a window to look out while you are creating. My window is on the other side of the room behind my loom. Maybe I need to move things around a bit. Hum… You’ve got me thinking.
Dit is er weer eentje van je die me enorm aanspreekt.
Het verbaasde me dat er alweer ganzen in prachtige V-vorm overtrokken. Alleen jammer dat ze dat deden met veel gegak toen ik nog sliep………………
