Goodmorning sweeties, I do trust this finds you well and coping and that the ones among you who have been ill are in the process of recovering! I’m still doing fine; I stay at home and enjoy the sunshine on our balcony. However, I do miss my work at the Zeeuws Archief and my collegues… it won’t be untill May though before I can get back to work and even that is uncertain. Until then, I’ll keep my spirit up by creating up a storm in my little atelier, and I show you what I did last week. But first there’s today’s haiku
Friday haiku
| Niemand op het strand. Alleen een verre vogel ziet hoe het zand stuift |
No-one on the beach. Only a distant seagull sees how the sand drifts |
The photo was taken by my friend Lena Schreijenberg
I submit this haiku to Recuerda Mi Corazon where our lovely hostess Rebecca brings us all together to share a haiku on Friday: Haiku my Heart
April is ‘birthday month’ amongst my friends and since I cannot visit any of them now, I created fun birthday cards.
Birthday cards
This one is for an old friend, Karin
and the next one is for my daughter-in-law Guus
As you can see I used my sewing machine on those cards, I am in love all over again with my sewing machine! I might even leave it on my desk and start sewing face masks this weekend… we don’t have to wear them in the Netherlands but I have the feeling, by something that was said on tv, that it won’t take long before our government will ask us to wear them outside just like they do in other countries. Better start making them now.
My latest Chronicles art journal spread (see this post) was to my liking so I copied the idea to make another spread in a similar way.
“Zeeuwse Ziel” art journal
A women in pyjamas, and a piece of an old dictionary-page to the right, where I scribbled over the words exept one…
… that says it all.
Thanks for visiting my blog today, stay safe!
Je t’embrasse
I am so cheered by the viewing of all your creativity. I feel frozen in time. I cook, read, and pray. God Bless you.
Wat heb je die kaarten weer leuk gemaakt, die naaimachine voegt echt wel iets toe.
The lady in pyjama kijkt nogal……eh…corona-achtig.
Love your custom heads on prefab bodies…
Beautiful haiku!! It is so quiet and reflective. The photos looks like a barren desert! Have a wonderful weekend!
I do see the drift of sand… like in an hourglass… beautiful photo from Lena that your words speak to perfectly Marit. And I love your card making and what you are doing with your sewing machine. Things are good here, with much saddness everywhere around us, so I am grateful for these moments of respite and getting to visit you my friend. Love and hugs to you and your beloved.
At least there is one creature there to witness the drifting sand. Beautiful!
I love the haiku. Your art is uplifting to see…such creativity.
