Days fly by in the Zeeland. Warm sunny days alternate with rainy days, but that does not stop the tourists. Our “island” (which is actually a peninsula) is again flooded with camping guests, people staying in holiday homes and day trippers. However, when you rise really early and go for a walk in the wee hours like my friend Lena does, there’s no tourist in sight.
Friday haiku
| In de ochtendzon, eenzaam bankje op het duin wie gaat er zitten? |
In the morning sun a lonely bench on the dunes who’s gonna sit there? |

I submit this haiku to Haiku my Heart
My beloved and I sometimes mingle with the tourists when we go into town to shop for some necessities or drink coffee on a café terrace, but at home in my small atelier it’s quite and peaceful and I created several art journal spreads over the last weeks.
The Chronicles of Marit – Week 26
The Chronicles of Marit – Week 27
In week 27 something happened what, in 14 years of art journaling, never happened to me before: halfway creating a spread I noticed I had my journal laying upside down!
Djeezzzz…
I made the best of it and so I created an ‘upside down spread’
It wasn’t on purpose, but I kinda like it!
The Chronicles of Marit – Week 28
This week my days were filled with appointments (of course there’s my job but there were also nice, happy appointments like going out with a friend and having a ‘fan’ visiting me) but today is still completely empty and lays all open to me, so I put on my old work clothes and get to create with the new stuff I bought in the thrift store and the lovely embellishments that I received from workshop-student and creative friend Jeannet.
I hope you get to spend your day and weekend in a way YOU like, whatever you plan to do: enjoy!
