As a child I loved blowing bubbles and even today I can still get lost in the colours that bubbles show while drifting in the sunlight… ain’t it amazing, the little beauties that nature shows when you pay attention?!

I submit this haiku to Recuerda Mi Corazon where our lovely hostess Rebecca brings us all together to share a haiku on Friday: Haiku my Heart.

Since I have a job (see this post) I only have time to write a blogpost on Fridays so you will see more of my art coming in this haiku-posts. Today I have this Chronicles art journal page to show you.

The Chronicles of Marit 2019 – Week 35

See that little photo at the bottom left? That’s the building I work in. My work-room is just above the big front door – yes, the window with that little balcony where once the Dutch queen “Wilhelmina” stood to wave at the public.

The room therefor is called ‘Wilhelmina room’ and it’s a pleasure to work in such a beautiful building with heigh ceilings (and toe-breaking wooden stairs… that too..) so it’s no wonder I get into a bubbly mood is it?! I might open that window one day, put on a hat and wave at the public myself!

Thanks for visiting my blog today, have a great weekend.
Go do something fun.
Blow some bubbles!

“Being less active” doesn’t mean I do nothing at all… there’s a large stack of Christmas cards on my desk that I need to finish. There’s pieces of paper showing ‘aquarel clouds’ in the window sill, that I made after I came home from Mandy’s workshop last weekend. I want to work on those some more and write Tanka with the images (I may tell you more about it in a future blogpost.) I plan on binding a little journal to use for my Top 2000 art ánd I need to bind a new ‘Chronicles’ journal to use next year.

Oh, and there’s the last week-spreads that will fill up this year’s Chronicles… here’s the last spread I created

The Chronicles of Marit 2017 – Week 48

And here’s a spread I made in November in the “Grandes Chaleurs” journal.

Learning to Die

I’m also thinking about a word for 2018… are you choosing a word for each year? In 2010 I embraced this tradition that Eli Edwards started and choose a word for the year ever since. I like it so much more than resolutions (which I never made, by the way.)

Well, there are some Christmas cards waiting to be finished so I’m turning my back on the computer for now. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Friday & weekend. See you around someday next week!
