Building a kitchen.

This isKatleen's kitchen; I love the shelf she made,
with those nice plexi sliding doors.

Today she started building me a kitchen;
we are halfway now but the result is Wow :-)
Photos later.




Heart-shaped supermarket love potato :-)

Happy weekend everbody!

More.

Found this one in my archive this morning;
More needlelaces to come!




Cormorant fishing press cutting.

I started decorating parts of my appartment last week;

the mobile fits perfectly in this room because of the low

ceilings, actually these are two, but I hung them

so closely they sometimes overlap eachother's orbit;

love to watch them and it is very hard to maintain

any discipline here and pick up the thread again,

also because of the sunny terrace :-)

The cute animal comes from a needle lace book and

is a detail of a reticella piece; forgot which book, sorry.

I will show more needle lace later!

Made the smyrna cushion last year, still not yet finished,

as usual.

Bye, bye :-)

Some squares.

A colour study.

A piece of linen cloth I got from a friend.

Some trash I can't trow away.

A spot of evening sunlight in my room.

Good Night :-)

My garden.

Wood pigeon love affair next to my kitchen table :-)

... while I did some gardening.
I got different varieties of tomato plants from a friend,
such as
Green Sausage, Coeur de Boeuf, Santalina and
Brandywine.


I got a marjoram and an edible-leaf beet too.

Summer at last! 25°C today :-)

Pleasant chaos, but...

Thanks a lot everybody for your nice words about
my new appartment :-)
Hope to be back soon here, but for the moment
I need to make some order into this house; this
mess is not really beneficial to my creativity!




I'll be back as quickly as possible!!

Pleasant chaos.

I desperately need more shelves and there's so

much to be done yet but I had a 'dolce far niente' day;

sunshine makes every chaos bearable :-)

The middle pic is an improvised supply closed in the

landing, my own little shop :-)

Lily-of-the-valley present; did some gardening too,

more photos later.

The morninglight...

... in my new appartment!

Happy Sunday everybody

I'm leaving.

I'm leaving tomorrow at noon and I will take with
me: my sweetheart Arthur, Barbarella, Jean Valjean,
Marcel, the Elk, Ben & Eugène, Little Joe, Popo & Benny
and all the animals of the forest, even the Big Red one;
I'm taking too the animals of the dark room,
both the extincted and those who have existed
for a long time, everybody is coming with me, they
all meet at the birdhouse, except Little Joe, he's in my
pocket for he's too teeny-weeny:-)
( but brave! )






It's gonna be a tough day tomorrow, but at the end
a sunny and cosy house will welcome us :-)
Have a nice weekend everybody!

Bye, bye Garden :-)

About children.

Utopia Children's House; children set up a Christmas
scene with their own arts and crafts. NY 1930




Me as a horse, I'm the one with
those ridiculous white shoes, probably from my
first Communion;
I can remember the fight with my mom very well,
I've had countless discusions with her about clothing
ever since I was a young girl;
this one was about the colour of my shoes; our teacher
had charged us to wear white socks, black shoes, black
leggings and a white shirt for the school party;
this was mom's logic: If black is the standard,
than white is good enough;
you can see the result here, what a flop :-)
