Whew, so many photos to sort through in this real summer heat we’re having here! I’ll be giving y’all a full account of where we went, what we did and how we liked (loved!) it, but ...
I’m back home after spending a week in Scotland on vacation. So many impressions from this beautiful wild country…I’ll need a few days to get them all sorted in my head (and in the ...
So much for my high-flying plans to try out new things in sewing this spring! I always fall back on old favourites it seems…Wiksten patterns just fit me great and the tulip skirt is such a clas...
A first approach, a quick cut of one perfect day at our beautiful barn. Please be kind…I know it’s too choppy and shaky and short and all sorts of things, but it literally took me days to...
The first local strawberries of the year, bought at today’s farmer’s market. I had a craving for chocolate covered strawberries, so we made chocolate fondue and enjoyed every bite. I̵...
These two get me every time. Be still my heart. Do click on the image to view it bigger! So loving imperfect black and white lately.
Though I haven’t talked about it in detail yet, I have started quite a few seeds indoors again for the coming balcony gardening season. Seeing as I started a bit late last year, I made sure to ...
I’m finally through with sorting about 2000 photos from our wonderful easter weekend trip to the dutch island Ameland in the North Sea. We (three girlfriends and I) spent three days there. We g...
That’s what I’ve been doing this weekend. And it felt so, so good. Give me a few days to settle back into the life of offices, internet and appointments and to sort my photos before comin...
These moments. I don’t know if anyone can see in these pictures what I see in them. Maybe all everyone will see is some badly lit, grainy everyday pictures. To me they are utterly beautiful. Fo...
It’s slow coming this year, but every day there are more blossoms on the trees. We’ve had temperatures up until 19°C for a few days, but now they’ve dropped again to barely above 0....
Just a quick note today to say that my new photography blog is online! I will be sharing current photoshoots and some earlier work there in the coming weeks, so keep an eye one it. I will be blogging...
It’s about time I posted some random horse shots again, right? There’s a new boy at the barn and he’s gorgeous. Sometimes the sunday I spend at the barn, in the arena or going for a...
Last week was the bi-annual big shoe trade fair. My dad has been attending for thirty years or so with whatever brand of shoes he has been selling over the years. I worked there for almost ten years ...
That’s where I am and where I’ll be for months to come guessing by my stack of ideas and fabric. I’m busy drafting a couple nice basic blouses, using the Sorbetto pattern as a slope...
I’ve hinted at this so many times and now I am finally ready to tell: I just founded my own photography business. I offer portrait, family and animal sessions for now and you can find me on Fac...
I’m still in the planning stages for most of my spring wardrobe. I don’t think I’ll ever get as organized as some sewers, I have too many ideas flitting in and out of my head and I ...
A quick sorbetto top with a twist (or two, or three). Inspired by this top and this Sorbetto Top variation, I modified the original Sorbetto pattern: Extended the shoulder by a couple of inches (and ...
Yes, still sewing here. So many ideas dancing around in my head that it makes me dizzy. And some of it is actually being made these winter stay-at-home weekends. I joined Jen‘s “Handmade ...
Except the boyfriend and I don’t do carnival and chose to hunker down at home for the long weekend instead. Fine with the cats too. The boyfriend got a new stereo system this week and I’v...
No text, just photos from last weekend today.
Apparently once you start sewing clothing again you can’t stop…my next project was the Scout Woven Tee by Grainline Studio. A nice, basic tee that sewed up pretty quickly. I finally manag...
It’s no secret that I adore Jenny Gordy‘s patterns and I’ve wanted to get my hands on the Tulip skirt pattern for ages. I always thought it was sold out, but it’s actually ava...
We’ve been having temperatures below -10°C for a week now and I’m a bit worried about the mints and strawberries and other plants on my balcony. On the other hand, the weather has provide...
We spent the weekend quietly here, with some visits and some napping in between. I don’t go shopping much any more these days (trying to live minimally and also the city centre with its noise a...
Already the really dark days of winter are behind us and soon it will be light again going into work in the morning. It’s amazing how important that is, even this blue instead of pitch black is...
With a two-day break in weeks of grey and rain, the weekend called for some outside time. I knew I needed to get out into the woods for a spell. We drove out to a famous bridge that I hadn’t vi...
Well, it has been quite a start into 2012. A close family member of mine has been in hospital for a week after a breakdown and is now being treated for depression. It has been a very emotional week a...
I’ve been meaning to share these photos since november. I was asked to take some photos of the guys at our barn who like to run around in full-flegded cowboy outfit at the weekends. The aim of ...
Another year gone and I know I’m repeating myself, but how fast it’s come and gone! This time last year I was looking forward to slowing down a little. My dad’s health problems only...
