I wish I could say ‘Spring is in the air’, but it isn’t.
Yes, temperatures are above zero and yes, our drain pipe is free of ice –
but the days are grey and wet.
HOWEVER…
Spring is in my head
and ON my head… *teehee*
I have a new haircut!
I’m all ready for Spring, don’t you think?
So I looked up a colourful ‘Spring photo’ and wrote a haiku about it.
..
Kleurige tulpen
kondigen de lente aan ik ben er klaar voor! |
Colorful tulips
I’ve never been so ready for the new season |
Written for ‘Haiku My Heart Friday’.
For more haiku and photos, visit Rebecca at Recuaerda mi Corazon.
Next is a page that lay waiting for quite some time…
I showed the basic page before in this post and last week
I finally found the quote to put on and finished it.
Size: 29,7 x 21 cm - 16.9 x 8.3 inch.
I love the way the image transfer turned out!
Here’s a detail photo
Some of you may have seen the preview of FEATURING magazine already,
as I gave you the link last Tuesday, but for all my haiku friends who visit
me on Friday:
This is a preview of how my new magazine will look like.
Yes – it’s going to be a printed magazine and YES,
there will be poetry and photos in it too!
Although today is another rainy day, I have colours in my head and
I am planning to put some of those colours on paper this weekend.
Hooray brushes, hooray paint… here I come!

phinner says
I go back and forth on the weather thing. I love the gray wet rainy, but maybe I’d feel differently if there was a lot of cold. I am a California girl after all…
I love your bob! its so clean! I keep thinking about cutting my hair again. I like to hide behind it tho’…
that’s a great quote! yes. sometimes there are no perfect words. I gotta try that transfer biz. I gotta do ‘something’.
happy weekend, Marit!!! I’m so glad you stopped by my blog… : .)
priti.lisa says
What a fabulous make over!
It’s a perfect cut to frame your pretty face.
And the journal page is so good, a fantastic quote.
I love the idea of colors in your head ๐

I am so ready for Spring, just as you are. I tell myself to be patient, but it is difficult.
Lovely haiku, and lovely new do!
peggy gatto says
Love your spring “do”!
We all need a change now and then!
I love tulips. Bulbs are always a sure sign of spring!!
Lea says
Dearest Marit, your new spring cut is darling on you! The tulips and your haiku confirm this! And… that photo from your image transfer… hangs in my house! Wish you could come and sip some sunshine with me! XO

I love your hair!
Mama Zen says
Cute cut!
Kathy H says
Love your haircut. So far I’ve one blog posted a summer card, another posted winter cards and now you are posting about spring!! Love the seasons. Congrats on your magazine and love the layout!
Fran aka Redondowriter says
Your new haircut is yummy; I like it very much–and I’m a push-over for tulips. Though I was born in California, my whole family for a few generations were all from Holland/Zeeland, Michigan, where the annual tulip festival is a really big deal.
rebecca says
dear darling marit,

i am so excited for your magazine.

Chevrefeuille says

Dawn Elliott says
WoW! That’s an awesome spring picture if I ever did see one, and a fun haiku! I love your new “do” – you totally look ready for the upcoming season…if it ever gets here!
Lena says
Ben weer eens laaaaat met een reactie…. sorry hoor, ben tegenwoordig eigenlijk weinig achter de pc te vinden… Ben weer helemaal in de ban van mijn ‘eerste liefde’, het schilderen!!
Je nieuwe kapsel staat je echt fantastisch!! Frisser, vrolijker en past heel goed bij jouw gezicht vind ik!
Ik kan me deze bladzijde idd nog herinneren, je hebt hem heel mooi afgemaakt zo met die witte letters en quote! Die transfer is zoooo goed gelukt hรฉ!!
Je haiku is weer als altijd geweldig en ook ik heb het met de winter nu wel gehad… op naar de tulpen!!
anne g-i says
love your haircut!!! i love the idea of keeping colors in your head while waiting for spring! going to try that myself. beautiful photo and haiku – perfect! saw the mag preview – can’t wait!!!
Elvy says
Lekker voorjaarskapsel heb je jezelf aangemeten! Als de spring niet in ‘the air’ is moet je ‘m inderdaad maar in je ‘hair’ laten zijn. Blij dat de transfer zo’n mooie finish heeft gekregen ๐
Jeanet says
Wow, wat een mooi kapsel Marit! Staat je super! En ja, wat mij betreft mag de lente ook komen.NU!! ๐
Geweldig preview. Dat belooft wat moois!
Noelle Clearwater says
Love the photo! You look fabulous and tulips are my favorite flower! My father was Dutch, so I guess that makes me 1/4. ๐
