Another week gone, and GOOD MORNING – it’s again Wednesday… ‘desk day’. My desk didn’t see much activity last week… I was mostly working on the computer. I also visited a fellow artist that I met in a gallery last year. She lives in my town and we made an appointment to get to know each other a bit more and talk about a ‘project’ we might work on together (still in the ‘brainstorm phase’ so I cannot tell you more.) Her name is Tini van Bebber and she’s into ‘textile and words’. I love how we have things in common and yet create in a totally different way.
I think especially you fabric/textile orientated deskers (LLJ, Annie-Wipso, Shoshi, Lynn, Jo-Twiglet) might want to hop over to her website to see her Japanese-inspired art pieces (look under “Projecten.”)
Doing all kind of different things last week you might think my desk is empty than… well, no. I layed my Chronicles art journal on the desk and whenever I have a spare minute, I add something to the pages. Most weeks, the Chronicles spread comes together in one or two atelier-sessions but not this time… it will probably turn out to be a chaotic spread – we’ll see.
And here’s the spread that was on my desk last week. I just added some journaling to the page and called it finished.
The Chronicles of Marit 2019 – Week 12
It’s another grey and windy day on my peninsula… it’s nowhere near Spring outside so I put a little flower pot (Narcissus ‘Tête-a-Tête’) on the table to bring Spring into the house. My beloved bought me a present last week: “Journal d’Irlande” – the latest book, published posthumously, by my favourite writer Benoîte Groult and I plan to spend some time curled up in the chair reading. It’s just a day for that! Hope your day will be nice and cozy too, enjoy!
Have a lovely curled up kind of day. What a lovely way to spend your time when the weather outside is not being kind. It is cold here in the UK too.
Have been on a journey in your new-found friends blog. What wonderful work she does which appeals to me as it is a lot like journalling although it is textiles and not paper. I just wish I had the talent to do things like that as well as what I do.
Love your desk and your chronicle.
Enjoy your day and your week.

Hi Marit, the weather here has actually been quite good for the last couple of weeks, much pleasanter than normal in March! Loving the journal page. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #1 X
I hope you enjoy your cosy curled up day. It’s really cold here today so I’ve just turned the heating up so my hands are warm enough to create…the play mat is coming along well…so far I’ve ‘planted’ 6 rows of carrots, 4 cabbages and a row of lettuce on it and have just attached some ‘bales of straw to it. can you tell I’m having fun?
Hugs,
Annie x #8
Hi Marit ! Your desk is certainly as busy and orderly as ever. I like that piece by Tini very much. The start of an intriguing friendship. I really like your Week 12 very much.
Happy WOYWW

Love Tini’s komobukuro…
Enjoy your reading and hope that it’s a little more spring like soon Marit. Love your latest chronicles and I’m sure the next spread will come together eventually. I look forward to hearing more about your collaberative project. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2
Ah the dreaded computer work. Me too. And I like the way your chronicle page turned out..perhaps visiting it a little every day and now then is an even better reflection of your day and week? I bet it felt strange though….probably not quite as satisfying in the feeling of getting things done! Thrilled that you’re brainstorming with another artist, I shall be browsingher Projecten very soon!
It’s turned chilly again here too after a fabulous weekend! I love the tete-a-tete narcissus and can imagine them on your desk. your chronicles are fab today. Helen #3

Great journal pages and lovely organised desk too .Have a great woyww, Angela x15x
Autumn is arriving here but we are still nice and sunny and warm today, I sit in the lounge room in my chair to enjoy the sunshine when I can and with a dud leg and hand I’ve more of an excuse than usual!
Love your journal so bright and cheery and think your atelier is grand too!
Happy belated WOYWW, Shaz in Oz.x #13

I like your little row of houses on the bottom of your chronicle page. Was it a free hand? I always love seeing textile art, comes from growing up 4-H projects and that’s all we used was fabric. Dark and Dreary here today, makes me in a slow non motivated day. Enjoy a great weekend #21
Week 12 turned out to be simply stunning. I love it. Thanks for sharing, sorry I’m late. Have a lovely week. Caro x(#10)
Thanks for showing us the results from last week. Looking good. I hope this week works out as well. xxx Maggie (Silvercrafter) #11
I love your chronicles pages, I can see how you can just come and add things one at a time. I should try this with my junk journal! Have a great week, Lindart #29
