Summertime…

July 22, 2017 By Marit 1 Comment

… and the living is easy.

Yes, I am living the easy live this Summer. My idea of vacation: sit on the couch and crochet while watching the “Tour de France.” (***edited on July 28: I received a link to a pretty interesting article about the Tour de France – it’s worth while reading!) The bicycle race approaches the end – tomorrow is the last stage with finish in Paris – but I reached my finish a bit earlier than the riders ’cause look what came out of my hands during the past three weeks

This blanket will brighten the bed in the guest room. It’s a bunk bed and the other mattress will also be covered with a cheerful blanket. I’m all in the crocheting mood!

However, you don’t have to worry that I will loose my love for paper. I do spend time in the atelier too, although a bit less than usual. To prove I still work in my art journals, here’s four spreads from the Chronicles.

There are more finished spreads in the Chronicles art journal (after all, we live in week 29 now) but I won’t show all the spreads at once and save some for the next time. So this is all you get to see for now. Hope your Summer is as colorful and happy as my crocheted blanket. Enjoy your days!

    Ik zag die deken al voorbij komen op Facebook, maar nogmaals: wat is hij mooi mooi mooi! Ik, die uren boven een patroontje kan hangen om te tekenen en kleuren en priegelen, heb hier dus geen enkel geduld voor. Lekker om je in te wikkelen als het weer kouder wordt.
