Hi there lovely ones, it’s Wednesday, time to show what’s on my desk this morning… and yessss, there IS some action going on in my little atelier. There’s even something you rarely see on my desk: my sewing machine and the start of a scrapbook lay-out!<\/p>\n

Yup, I’m “back in the game” after my short blogpost and empty page last week… Julia, you must have a sixth sense (“I\u2019m not sure that short is good Marit, your usual enthusiasm seems missing, I hope you\u2019re feeling alright?…”)<\/em> I was indeed a little ’empty’ myself…<\/p>\n

The week before last, my ex-father-in- law and “opa” (grandfather) of my son passed away quite suddenly, after a short illness. I always stayed in contact with my former parents-in-law and his death came as a shock. In the weekend, on a day filled with rain and sleet, we drove to the province of Brabant (the drive alone was exhausting already!) where I went to the funeral. In addition to meeting my ex-family-in-law, I also saw and spoke a lot of old acquaintances ‘from a former life.’ All in all, it was a strange and quite emotional day and after I got home, I kinda crashed… On top of that, the weather was cold, rainy and grey all week which wasn’t very uplifting to my mood.<\/p>\n

I did show up in my atelier every day, and managed to create a weekly spread on that empty page… I added a plastic pocket to the pages to preserve the funeral- and memory card (the blurred part)<\/p>\n

Last weekend, I watched the video-tutorial my fellow-teacher Tangie Baxter<\/a> posted in the workshop “Book of Days” and lo and behold ~ grey clouds seem to disappear and I spend all day drawing faces and tearing & pasting pieces of paper. This is what came out of my hand… not my normal style but it was fun and I felt a lot better!<\/p>\n

This week, I finished the spread<\/p>\n

And yes, now I am working on a scrapbooking lay-out… I saw an old scrapbook challenge blog “Dutch Dares” return after a break of 2 years. They provide new challenges, not on the blog but in a Facebook Group this time. Although I find the challenge “Love” (’cause it’s almost Valentine’s day) rather clich\u00e9, I thought I’d give it a try.<\/p>\n

The sun is shining and Spring is in the air. The weather forecast prodicts this kind of weather for the next days too and my beloved and I plan a long hike (forest-dunes-beach) tomorrow… that will be our “Valentine’s day” together.\u00a0 I hope you have a lovely week, hug your loved ones (not only on Valentine’s day!) and here’s a big, warm, digital {{{HUG}}} from me to you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
