As promised… here I am!!!<\/p>\n

And yes, I got a lot done yesterday.
\nCan’t show you all (some things are for a customer, and some pages
\naren’t finished yet) but I do have some list-pages and a big collage to show.<\/p>\n

First I want to show you the lovely gift Rosie<\/a> send me!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I saw these fingerless gloves (Rosie calls them ‘wristies’) on her blog
\nearly March, and I said to her that I should make myself a pair to wear at
\nthe computer \u2013 ’cause really – I\u2019m such a \u2018koukleum\u2019 (which is Dutch and it
\ncan be translated as ‘chilly person’ – it has the words ‘cold’ and ‘shiver’ in one.)<\/p>\n

Awesome Rosie didn’t tell me a thing, but made a pair for me and put it in
\na big envelope together with a beautiful handmade card!
\nCan you imagine how happily surprised I was when the package arrived?
\nShe wrote “I felt so sad for you when you said how you’re always cold and
\nI still had some “waistcoat” left, so I made them up!”<\/em> How sweet is that?
\nThey now lay next to the computer so I can look at them and use them
\nevery time I get cold! Thank you so much Rosie – I’m over the moon happy!<\/p>\n

I made a few ‘list pages’ last week.
\nSome took a lot of work, and some were done in no time.
\nI like how my ’28 lists’ book is growing with whimsical pages of all sorts…<\/p>\n

List #12 – Weekly rituals<\/strong><\/p>\n

(I cut the image from a magazine once, because I found it hilarious…
\nthis was the perfect page for it!)
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>..<\/p>\n

List #14 – Thinks I love about ———————–<\/strong><\/p>\n

(You had to fill it in yourself, and I thought it would be nice
\nto add a zentangling page to my list album!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

List #16 – Places to see in your hometown<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Middelburg is not the city I live in, but since my heart is still in Zeeland
\nI found it more fun to take that town for this prompt.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have more list-pages, but I save a few for next week.
\nI don’t want to overfeed you with lists…<\/p>\n

The next collage is made in my ‘big’ Art Journal (9,8 x 13,8 inch)
\nI started this page on Thursday, and finished it yesterday (that’s why my
\n‘Friday post’ was delayed, I wanted to work on this before the light would fade –
\nwe’re still in ‘Wintertime’ overhere you see…)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today, I did some laundry and cut my beloved’s hair (yep, I do that!)
\nThe sun is shining brightly and it feels like Spring. The tree in the front yard
\nturned green overnight! Yesterday you could only see little leave-buds,
\nbut they all woke up this morning and and raised their heads from under the
\nblankets. When I opened the curtains, they waved cheerfully at me.
\nIt was a very nice ‘welcome’ to start the weekend!<\/p>\n

I have hope that in a few weeks, I will be able to sit in the evening sun after
\ndiner, having coffee and read the book that’s been waiting patiently to be read…
\nI might shiver a bit in the evening sun, but I have a blanket \u00e1nd the ‘wristies’….
\nI’m looking forward to it already!<\/p>\n

I hope you too think about all the small but wonderful things you have in your
\nlives right now, unlike other people that have to deal with disasters (Japan)
\nand war (Libia). Look up at the trees, be grateful and enjoy your weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
