today

fixed once again some holes in my favorite cashmere gloves, they're now three years old and worn, but they are my favorites so, can't throw them away and I like them patched up, a bit Oliver Twist look :)

love Man Ray, trees + flowers - insekts animals

Message.

Today, Saturday 6th, at the stroke of twelfe, Joe has
bumped with the speed of a Peregrine Falcon right
into Guusjes ball.




Hi Guusje, the beret is yours!

Meet Joe.

Tomorrow is the prize-ceremony; Joe - see image -

made a proposition to help me with the draw, so I can play it square.

This is what he suggested : I will do the preparations and make

little balls of paper from all the entries; then, Joe will jump at a depth

of 1 metre - that is extremely high converted to human standards!!

- so, he will jump at 1 metre, and the first ball he will hit is the winner.

I think that's fair, hope it will turn out well :-)

We'll see tomorrow.

Have a nice weekend everybody!

Oh, and the bottom image is polkadotted queen Beatrix of the Netherlands,

admiring Malevich's black square.

:-)

Be my friend.

Mushroom cookies, Ben and Eugène.

La vie en rose.

I took some pictures from my red formica kitchentable,
it always turns pink on photo, but who cares :),
and covered some kitchendrawers with old patterns,
got the idea from the lovely Galup card.
I will show more pics later from this beautiful book.

Mating worms.

Mating worms...

... and monsters who like to eat them!

I'm painting and clearing out my appartment.

Most of the walls will be white.

Found this design in one of my maps, hope i

will bump into more surprises!

October light.

Like to watch the moving light in the kitchen

and to be lazy a bit.

I'm easily satisfied sometimes :-)

Have a peep at Mieke Willems, they started their

webshop today.

Pretty girl.

This is the state of affairs at present:
Peace has somewhat returned.
The plushies ignore her and Arthur is following
her all the time. Poor little fellow.
But she is lovely, don't you think?
I made her a new dress from a croched potholder.
She had mixed feelings about the result :-(
She said she likes Victor&Rolf a lot.
Could be.
I'm thinking at Jane Fonda while looking at her.
I've considered to call her Barbarella.
What do you think?







I saw the insanely beautiful Victor&Rolf exhibition
last summer in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Please have a peep, 'The house of Victor&Rolf'

Our dreamhouses :-)

I got this little surprise in my letterbox the other
day. I'm so happy with it!
Read more about the book at Barbara's blog, we
are with seven participants and pop over to
Elisabeth and Anaïs to see more if you like.

Home.

This Barbie was found in the shop where i'm work -
king; that is now more than two years ago.
After some time my colleagues gave her to me
because there were no claims.
So, i took her home last week, but not after i
informed the other residents of my appartment.
Initially they were very exited an anxious to see
her, for they had never seen a 'real' girl in their
entire life!
But when i came home with her at the end, the
house was empty and quiet as a mouse .



Our heros were all hidden in the birdhouse :-)



And three hours later they were still there and
kept quiet.



Yep, it is true, even dolls have to cope with stress
sometimes.
Sleep well :-)
