hospital

At least now I know my bloodtype ....

in bed

While my partner is groaning and sighing on renovating our bedbox - its floor was full with woodworm  and it was mostly cold in the bedbox because the cellar's underneath and no insulation- I lie down on the couch making the same sounds being sick from stomachache and backpains ... It was supposed to be a job for two, but my work will come with the painting and decorating the new lovely wallpaper.

textielfestival

With colleque Marjolein Perin to the 'textielfestival' in Leiden and afterwards in a tiny house in Noord-Holland, near the dunes and sea. Marjolein stayed for one night, I did 5 ...

Never imaged I could sit down for so many hours and even enjoy it, and make long long walks ... all alone...lovely!

friends

I missed them during the winter. There are always three or four of them in my garden, but this one was too severe so they left as well. Today I heard them, my little pals....

paper

'How to be an explorer of the world, portable art life museum'
by Keri Smith. Exploration #43 by Marjolein and me. I definitely want this book for my birthday (end of April) but I don't think I can wait that long.

Keri's shop here and blog here.

Sorry

Although Van San sales are going great, I need to take some time off from work. So I won't be sewing new stuff anymore, for now, just a little while. I need to rest, to plan and think about my business and maybe take some actions.

I still love to sow! But I take so much care in designing, detailing, strenght and sturdyness in my products, I spent too many hours on each, so my business is not that profitable.

So what's next....?

I want to have some time to experiment on and using other new materials in order to play a bit and create silly meaningless objects rather than producing purposefull bags and skirts and purses and trying to behave like a businesswoman.

Homo ludens...

I'll keep you posted of course!

vintage game

I was thrilled to retrieve 2 games I used to have as a child, because I love the colours and collage style. A vintage memorie play and a game called jumbo lotto. I have some framed for my wall.
