Patience

according to numerology 

2013 should be my year of patience...

 but now 

patience is absolutely not my 

forte.

while in the Maldives, 

inspired by artist Lisa Congdon

i made my first accordion 

book

and filled it with 

little shapes and drawings

 loved it very addictive indeed. 

and that's how i'll be working

on my patience issues

;) 

Mission accomplished

from this:

to this: 

a steep learning curve, 

loads of ups and downs, 

great satisfaction. 

we did it!

Around here

 a little too busy for my liking this side

but 

still so much beauty to be noticed  via instagram

Silence

“See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...we need silence to be able to touch souls.”

Mother Teresa

Feminine inspiration

while working with my first mini attempt at fabric printing i looked for inspiration all over and i fell in love with Sanna Annukka's designs. imagine screen printing this way...

a story

at first there was just a table in a corner...

 then there was panic... not enough space, 

a soaking wet ground and time pressure...

thankfully there were some wonderful friends who 

came to the rescue...

and turned one muddy table corner into 

a funky little "shop"! 

then there were more friends 

who came and turned the "funky little shop" 

into a buzzing, happy place

and then there were no more panic, no more doubts...

just a really chuffed little me ;)
