Swirl.

 As promised, the swirl cushion.
Remember my miserable staghorn fern last summer? 
He's doing great now :^)

Good night & Sweet dreams!

New planters.

I've found quite a few nice pottery last couple of weeks, all from the thrift of course; do you remember the string of hearts and the beautiful hanger I got from Alessandra about two years ago?

Well, the plant has grown tremendously last summer en needed a new, larger pot; I think this black clay pot fits in well :)

The kalanchoe has got a new pot too, but needs more care I think and less water; looks quite shabby to me; the prickly pear has grown two more disks.

My cactus one year ago :^)

Another Horn tree.

More plants and planters in another post!

That colored swirl in the back is my latest smyrna cushion, more photos later.

Happy weekend all :^)

new smyrna cushion

I'm totally in the mood for smyrna lately; the cushion above is entirely made of yarn scraps and is designed for a small stool at Atelier Solarshop ( I will show you later), anyway, it was fun to do, so there are more to come.
I took these photographs on the terrace yesterday morning, but I hope to make some pictures over there later this week.

Small Tortoiseshell, I haven't seen this species for years, yet one of the most common butterflies back to the 70s and 80s, but recently there was one in the bedroom; remember the fly? :^)

I was featured at  remodelista today, the article is written by Justine from Desigskool.http://designskool.net/
Thank you Justine.

The sedums are doing well.
Goodnight :)

This is the last one of the three astrakhan cushions that will be for sale at Alessandra's pop-up; the two previous are here and here.
The peacock cushion and crocheted landscape cushion will be for sale too, as well as some mobiles and potholders.
The pink ceramic dish comes from the thrift and
the Trumpet creeper in mom's garden.
Cushion reverse on my flickr pages.

Sweet Dreams!

Bird festival.

Found these gorgeous watercolors in a catalog from the Europalia Brasil expo; you might recognize the plantain, cashew nut, papaya and passion fruit. What a feast!

Pop over to finurlig, thank you Inger Marie :^)
Happy weekend all!

Cushion for the KNOTS pop-up.

So many similarities between the cushion designs and the view from the terrace! I was probably subconsciously inspired :^)

read my interview at sfgirlbybay; thank you so much Victoria!
The cushion is for Alessandra's pop-up; do not forget huh! In September.

A mixed lot, 15

The moon at dawn.

The moon at dawn this morning while drinking coffee in the garden with my brother.
Pop over at La Casita; there's an interview of me in response to the KNOTS pop-up in September; including my potholders will be for sale, more photo's later.
Thank you Alessandra!
and
Happy weekend all :^)

Home.

Hunting chanterelles.

September is my favorite month of the year; it is still warm outside and the light is so beautiful by the low sun. We were looking for chanterelles and enjoyed the blooming heather.
Love the dry&sandy Campine soil and vegetation and the wood smells great!

Hope you had a nice weekend too :^)
