WOYWW #515

This is something else isn’t it?
This is not my atelier-desk but the coffee table in our living room (and NO, I am not drinking wine this early in the morning!! I took this photo yesterday late afternoon.) As you can see, I started a new crochet project. No blanket this time, I have crocheted four of those already and my beloved thinks that’s enough ‘grannies’ to have in the house. He’s right, of course.
So what is this?

Last week my mum and I went into town, ‘girls day out’ shopping, and I was looking for a nice Summer ‘bohemian dress or skirt’. I tried some dresses on but those didn’t fit right or weren’t to my liking… the next day this idea came to me: why not crochet a skirt?

Eureka!

I found a pattern to create this skirt, bought me cotton and started crocheting right away! I am slightly bigger *ahem* than the woman on the photo (the times I looked like that are long gone…) so I will probably definitely wear this skirt with a long blouse over it and I plan to add a lining to this skirt too, but I do like the pattern.

I work on the skirt at the end of the day, but the hours in the morning and early afternoon are still spend in my atelier… so here’s another Chronicles spread.

The Chronicles of Marit 2019 – Week 14

There’s some text blurred on this page because today is the birthday of my best friend Lena **happy birthday sweetie!** and the text refers to the present I got for her… I will visit her later today and give her the present but she might read this blog post before that.

I have visits and ‘things’ planned for the rest of the week and the days are pretty full, but I will try to visit my fellow deskers somewhere in or after the weekend. You all have a lovely week (sunshine and Spring temperatures here!) and a beautiful Easter weekend!

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:

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!
