Goodmorning lovely ones, here’s a Friday note from foggy Netherlands… yes, the city is covered in a blanket and all is quiet outside. My friend Lena, who lives in a nearby village, cycled through the misty fields this morning to go to her work in the city. Halfway, she got off her bike to take this picture.<\/p>\n

Friday haiku<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Photo made by my friend Lena Schreijenberg<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mistig akkerland
\neen mus in de boom, kunnen
\nvogels verdwalen?<\/td>\n		<\/td>\nFog over the fields
\na Sparrow in the tree, do
\nbirds get lost at times?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

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

Above photo and haiku are rather quiet but the next thing I’d like to show is the opposite… FUN & LOUD! As you know, I am an art journal artist but a couple of weeks ago I got stuck in my work and decided to create something else, just for a change and to find back the ‘fun’ of creating. I thought about coloring-books, but there’s not much fun in coloring the images others made for you.. so I turned to an old hobby of mine: scrapbooking! I found a Dutch challenge Facebook group that provides themes and sketches to get you started and I took this sketch to work with.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next, I got out the box filled with all kinds of photos (nothing organised there…) and found these pictures, taken in 2016 by Anda van Riet<\/a> in the Community Center nearby my former apartment. I lived in a big apartment-building for four years and although I was over-the-moon happy to move out, there’s one man I miss… neighbor Hansie! (Well of course we can visit each other – we still live in the same, small town – we just don’t live a couple of doors away from each other anymore…)<\/p>\n

… anyway, Hans and I always had great fun and giggles when we got together. We both visited the Community Center on a regular base where they called us “Frick & Frack” and labelled Hans to be “Marit’s second husband” (and since Hans is super-duper gay, I didn’t mind to have him as a bonus-spouse \ud83d\ude09 )<\/p>\n

As I said, I wanted to re-discover the fun of creating and nothing better than to use these photos to do that. I took out all the ‘happy paper ‘n stuff’ I could find in my stash and created this layout.<\/p>\n

A good neighbour is worth more than a distant friend<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

On the bigger photo, there’s a curtain hanging in front of Hans’ head so I gave him a crown to cover the curtain… “King Hans” – can you tell I felt like a playful child while making this?<\/p>\n

I’m all back into the flow now, and hope to get back to art journaling this weekend.
\nI wish you a beautiful weekend too.
\nHug your loved ones.
\nGive your neighbor a crown.
\nHave a giggle.
\nEnjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
