Mail art / birthday cards

July 7, 2017 By Marit 3 Comments

Slowly, like white clouds against a blue sky, the days float by my window... warm, languid days that I fill with warm, dreamy thoughts and crocheting (yep, another blanket to put on the guest-bed), reading, going for walks with my beloved and watching 'Tour de France.'  Every now and then I saunter … [Read more...]

Hi there dear ones! Today I will start a blog series called "Tales from the Studio."

Last week, I was at the Kreadoe, a huge arts and crafts supply fair. (Caatje published photos of the Kreadoe fair on her blog if you want to take a look and drool over supplies... I'm glad to say that on the day I went it was not as crowded as on Caatje's photos!)  I had no plans to go at first … [Read more...]

Interlude

October 9, 2012 By Marit 5 Comments

This is a short blogpost. An 'interlude' so to speak. Time flies and I'm sort of fluttering behind it. I am glad I saved some 'oldies' to show you when the day would come that I have nothing new to show. Because I didn't even had time to finish my 'chronicles spread', that day is … [Read more...]

V-day

February 14, 2012 By Marit 17 Comments

Happy Valentine's Day dear ones! ... And happy it is, 'cause temperatures rose above zero, the ice melted and our drain pipe is open! There's not much damage (one small crack in the pipe) and we will replace it for a wider pipe in Spring. I already loaded the washing machine twice and a big … [Read more...]
