A garden.

I did some 'table gardening' the other day, dreaming
about my future garden (about six square metre terrace:-)
I'm planning to grow herbs and ruccola and tomatos
and spinach etc... and flowers of course.
I also bought a nice book about gardening.

The carnivorous on the first photo is producing new traps,
they look pretty alien and remind me a bit on the cordiceps fungus,
infecting an ant.


That's me on the second pic, changing the water for my guppies.

A day in the country.

Planting tomatos.

Coeur de boeuf

Beefmaster

Santa

etc...

Rain today :-(

Some stripes.

Some more linen samples in plain weave; I sorted

out the striped ones for this post.

The crocheted detail is a cushion.

Traditional Stripes & Lattices, Kamon Yoshimoto;

from the same series as Traditional Japanese Small Motif.

I will show more photos in another post.

Have a nice weekend everybody :-)

Spring is in the air!

I'm waiting for the first insect that will pop in my room :-)

The first and bottom are fly-designs I once made

for a reason I can't remember; the other pattern comes

from the interior of an old cardboard suitcase.

It was warm today.

Sweet dreams :-)

( by the way, does anybody know that silly joke

'spring is in the air'? )

Happy.

Work that make me feel happy!

Morteza Zahedi.

Apartment.

I went to see an appartment this morning.

I'll take it!

Elliot Erwitt, summer patchwork, white wax flower.

I'm super happy for the appartment :-)

I worked on some cushions today, they all need
a lining, this one looks pretty art deco, I mean the
colours.
The little painting on the wall is made by
Ruth Van Haren Noman.
more photos here.




Have a nice weekend everybody!

Impatient.

Another cold & freezing week :-(

Yellow ranunculus.
Peonies silkpainting.

Hope it will be spring soon.

Sunday.

Felix the Cat of the Neighbours , sunbathing.

Dinner with I. on my workingtable, we liked to sit

near the stove :-)

Dishes is for tomorrow.

Goodnight!

Saturday

I made some changes in my room to create more space;

the table is now where the bed was and visa versa.

I would be very pleased if i could find a larger and more

convenient appartment before the end of the summer.

Until now i sleep and work in the same room, so if one

could live from dust alone, I probably don't have to eat

anymore for the rest of my life :-)

The Minä Perhonen exhibition from last week really

revived my love for textile design and weaving.

That's why I was reorganizing boxes and looking at textiles today.

The circle design was made by a friend, painted on silk

by me afterwards.

The bottom pic is a silk top in the making, hope I will

finally finish it this year :-)

what about the appartment, any tip is welcome :-)
