I’ve started over with blogging. Follow my posts at Karin-Elizabeth.com from now on
“Do not go where the path may lead Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail” - Ralph Waldo Emerson (I attributed the quote to someone else earlier, oops)
A little bit of celebration to be done yesterday as I’m about to be re-employed, so naturally as soon as I heard my good news, I put this bottle of delicious Martini Rosé sparkling wine in the ...
This list is all over the web, it seems. But there’s a reason for it: it’s cute, and it helps motivate me somewhat, which is why I’m sharing it on my blog. 01. Make lists —...
Farewell, - Warm sun on my face, sunglasses please! - Freckles decorating my skin like constellations - Rose wine - Reading in the backyard, Bob Dylan and The Smiths - at my happiest - Flowers, my la...
Quick snap of dinner. Vegetarian lasagna: eggplant, onion, red bell pepper and spinach. I usually add spinach to my pasta sauce because it tastes good and I could always use the extra iron being a ve...
Meet my new one! Grey color most accurate in left photo! I’ve been looking for a nice big bag for a while now, with an over the shoulder strap option. Thing is, I’m terribly picky: I don&...
It has definitely been a while since I’ve revealed the elusive *cough cough* contents of my bag. I don’t usually drag a lot with me – keys, wallet, lipbalm are my basics – but...
Research for a new project, but I do like them and decided to share
“To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour.” Auguries of innocence by William Blake Beautiful inspiri...
Those of you who know me are well aware of my love for ice cream, especially Ben & Jerry‘s (their Cookie Dough flavor is a classic, but ever so brilliant). But unfortunately B&J’s...
- Mix of different lettuces (rocket alone will do, too) - Cucumber - Red onion - Feta cheese - Parmesan cheese (also in “powder form” which you usually put on pasta; I also add it to a sa...
Getting soaked in the rain. Loving it. & Reading ELLE while watching reruns of Criminal Minds. & Lightning, so bright my eyelid begins to tremble. & Pasta for dinner. & In the sun thi...
One’s personal blog is about one’s life, which could include one’s daily life and the things / events that make one happy. So I’m going to be blogging about that too from here...
Usually when it’s warm and sunny out, I can be found outdoors. I love being outside, it relaxes me. Yes, I’ve whined about this before – but this summer hasn’t been much of a ...
The backyard. Having already posted a bunch of photos from inside the home, I picked up the camera again this afternoon to snap some pictures in the garden. Fortunately, we’ve had some sunny we...
About six weeks ago, during a Skype session with my American twin Kari, I discovered and became instantly hooked to Pinterest, a huge visual moodboard. I use it mostly for style and home inspiration ...
Forget about acquiring clients right now, because right now NOT getting them is bringing you down. Focus on art and creating, focus on enjoying, and clients may come. Or they may not. But don’t...
“I’ve been busy with a summer job.” It’s what I’ve been telling myself the past 6 weeks. But that’s an easy excuse. Truth is, I’ve been feeling incredibly do...
I love, love, love grapefruit, especially the red Florida ones. A grapefruit’s got vitamin C aplenty, and I savor spooning it out It forces me to sit down and relax while I enjoy my food for a ...
The sun, that is. It’s 9PM, yet I’m still here, outside, laptop in front of me, camera – Ferdinand has done his job well again today – resting on the table. I am here: This pa...
I didn’t get the chance to blog for the past two days, but all for good reasons: family. Mother’s Day matters, of course: this year, we spent it with Wil’s parents. We drank coffee,...
That was me today. Sunshine cleaning. While it was summer here in The Netherlands, I had a house to clean, mostly because I’m expecting some guests Monday (my parents and grandparents are comin...
I easily tend to feel my life is not interesting enough to warrant a personal blog, much less a daily post on said personal blog. This is something I need to get over; being interesting is not what t...
Oh, my darling Ferdinand. How well you’re treating me in the few hours that we’ve teamed up together. This shot was taken about 45 minutes ago, in our backyard. I adore Forget Me Nots, th...
Ferdinand = my brand spankin’ new Canon 7D!! Told you in my previous post that I might have some news to share, and this is it. I picked him up today, and luckily so, because it was the last on...
Mmmm… I adore this book. Really do. I’ve read this at least 5 times – that I’ve kept track of – and am reading it for the 6th time now. Ah, I’ve read many books wh...
That’s my word of the day. Resolve. I feel more resolved now than I have in a long time. Things are coming together, and I feel so good, so motivated, so unlike and yet ultimately like myself. ...
Delightful. That’s the word I’d use for the weather we’ve been having the past week. Sun, sun, sun. Not a drop of rain, not even a threat of it. It’s freckles, Prosecco (!), t...
