Happy, cozy woyww #437

October 18, 2017 By Marit 16 Comments

Hayhay lovely readers, followers, deskers and other people wandering around on the internet and landing on my blog… it’s yet another Wednesday and that’s the day I publish a photo of my desk for “What’s On Your Work desk Wednesday.”

You may not see much differences with photos of former weeks but to me it’s an extra happy desk – for what is on it. See that yellow page I’m working on? It’s the background for my Chronicles spread for week 41…

WOYWW #437

I started with painting the background in a bright, yellow colour as last week was a bright and happy week with lots of sunshine, love and happy moments: my son Nout came to visit us last weekend! I’ll show you that photo that you can see on the art journal page, but first here are two art journal spreads from former weeks.

The Chronicles of Marit 2017 – Week 38

Yep, cycling… we watched the World Championship cycling on tv and photos of the winners had to go on my page.

Week 39: lots to tell, combined with random pictures… it’s just fun to create pages like this!

And now for the happy moments: Me and Nout.

Can you tell we were happy to see each other? There was a ceremony in Amsterdam last Thursday (he graduated in September and he received his master-degree) but we couldn’t be there, so on Friday he took the day off of work and came to visit us. (Yes, Nout started a job right after his graduation as a trainee with the national government.)

Remember the present I made him last Summer?
As a graduation gift, I crocheted a blanket for him (small photo) to put on the couch in his new apartement. He is still very happy with it, and so is his girlfriend Guus! He showed us this photo of her, and isn’t that the sweetest picture? (published with her approval.)

This was a happy and cozy post of me today.
Thanks for visiting and I hope your week will be happy and cozy too.
Enjoy!

    Wat een happy picture van jou en je zoon. En de indianendeken is bij Nout en Guus duidelijk op zijn plek. Die goudgele spread…daar ben ik nu al benieuwd naar. Liefs and wishing you another happy week!

    I’m not sure when life got so busy that I stopped commenting but this is my new favorite post. Your workspace is so cheerful, and I loved seeing the picture with Nout. I’m glad he is doing so well. Hugs.
