happy weekend!!

have lots and lots of fun!

very true

Yes, I do agree… sometimes you’ve got to get your hands dirty. And at the moment my hands are very dirty!

monday again (time flies!)

Today I am full of colours; red and blue and orange and green fill up my mind (and because of that I have had to wear a black dress today – to create a weird kind of balance that probably only makes sense to me)…

and dreams – mondays are all about new beginnings!

monday painting

monday: painting, peace and pancakes…

love street

today I am listening to ‘She lives on love street’ over and over again – while I’m working like mad on getting my presentations done…

i love

my new vintage dress (that I paid almost nothing for!)… it is perfect for this wonderful late summer weather.

sunday

beautiful friday poem

MORNING

When the morning’s sun steals through the window-pane,
happy and cautious,
like a child who wants to surprise
early, early on a festive day -
then I stretch full of growing exultation
my open arms to the coming day -
for the day is you,
and the light is you,
the sun is you,
and the spring is you,
and all of the beautiful, beautiful
waiting life is you!

by Swedish author Karin Boye that I came across whilst reading this amazing novel by Linda Olsson (originally written in English) – that I soooo recommend.

paintings

Finding time to pair up some of my paintings around the flat, but I still have a pile leaning up against the wall in the bedroom; I need a workshop! I am starting to paint new paintings next week (ordered lots of new canvases; can’t wait…)
