Pulling it back in

March 13, 2012 By Marit 14 Comments

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.
Iย  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!

My page ended up fun and colourful.

The Chronicles of Marit 2012 – Week 10

(Size: 24,5 x 49 cm โ€“ 9.65 x 14.86 inch)

Mr. Mojo and Mrs. Muse did tease me a bit by making me think it was week 8.
I noticed only later that I was two weeks wrong, so I had to remove
the number, put new paint on that spot and find me the matching number 10.
I do not begrudge the couple the pleasure of teasing me a bit though and they
helped me out, ’cause the mistake is hardly visible.

The days lengthen.
The temperature rises.
We experienced some nice Spring days
in the Netherlands.
Mr. & Mrs. Mojo-Muse are smiling and look
quite cosy and happy in their little corner.
The big work I faced is nearly done.
Life is beautiful.
Enjoy the week dear ones!

P.S. I just got an email from my mum.
She discovered this inspiring website and send me the link.
Just looking at those mandala’s makes me smile!
Smile with me! Go!

    Spring is appearing here too! It is going to be 75 here today! And, we have had no snow! This is hard to believe. I am afraid my spring/summer will be all rain because of this!
    Your couple seems happy now! And yes, don’t forget to water them!!!
    Lovely page!
    xxD

    Tja, ik had al zo’n idee dat je mojo niet echt de kans had gekregen om er echt vandoor te gaan…
    Je weekjournaal is superleuk, heel vrolijk met die kleurtjes en vogeltjes (van servetjes ofzo?)
