if you stopped by to read my ‘Friday haiku”
I have to disappoint you…

I did not write a haiku today.
I will turn off the computer,
leave my atelier for what it is
and spend the day here…

I hope you spend your day in a similar, relaxing way.
Enjoy!

Warm hugs from sunny Zeeland!

I almost did not join in today too due to computer problems. My beloved saved the day (for now… I hope to be able to finish this blogpost before it breaks down again….) so here’s the photo of my afternoon-desk.

WOYWW 420

I am working on a spread for week 21 in my Chronicles art journal and you can see that I glued a pocket on the page. I send and received ATC’s for the woyww-anniversary-swap in week 20/21 and the pocket holds the ATC’s I received back… (thanks girls!)

And here’s the spread for week 20 (had not showed it to you yet)

We’re in week 25 right now so yes, you’re right when you see I’m a few weeks behind with this journal. I don’t spend much time in my atelier lately… Temperatures are tropical here in the Netherlands and it’s just too hot to play with paint or markers. When I go in there and sit down for a while, sweat starts to drip on the pages and my hand sticks to the paper when I try to write…

… so most of the time I can be found here:

balkon-21juni

I finished crocheting the granny square and it lights up the boring lawn chair now. The purple cloth hanging from the clothesline protects my little corner from too much sunshine.

Tomorrow will be another tropical day but the weather forecast predicts it to cool down in the weekend. I hope to visit some desks then!

Thanks for stopping by, have a lovely day,
stay cool!
