drawing | a pair of

·
in my mind, they are inseperable, to the point i like to devour them both in one go. yes, greedy me. 
·
in your childhood, did you drape these around your ear, i wonder? 
·
soon, soon. it will be cherry season over here. what a relief. do go check out helen's who has many more pairs up her sleeve this weekend!☻

corner view ≈ typical family dinner

·
typical? oi, belgian fries i'd say, but i'm lacking the images (since notebook came back from manufacturer in the nude - meaning i've lost many images). 
·
as a child i was very fond of apple sauce and sausages, but i don't seem to be making those these days. 

·
i think i will have to show you an outtake from last monday. being invited to dinner always feels like a bit of a treat, especially after doing away with ghastly green all morning. 
·
the food was delicious, and that is a typical feature of the performing cook. please forgive me for not submitting the recipe. i did simply indulge in this plate of food, no questions asked.☻

·
theme chosen by theresa, on jane's corner view, via francesca. 
·
smakelijk to all.

on crochet, in general

·
crocheteers out there? do you start a project all over, if the work under your hands does not satisfy? this is one feature i simply love having inherited of mum. 

·
if a result bugs me, i end it. then i tear it out (to reuse yarn, yeah?). sometimes that is hell... but i'm thinking. crochet to me is meditation. when i start over and i contemplate this belligerent task, i think it is okay to resurface. 

·

here i have actually stopped myself from crocheting further the single crochets, and started over again, ... 

·

... with this. 
·
so far, the prognosis is good. 

·

i'm picturing myself on a damp autumn evening, making myself a cup of tea, having just a tad too little clothes on for the season, and draping an all reds scalloped-kind-of-blanket 'round my shivering shoulders. yeah? 
·
if i'm lucky, i'll make it happen this autumn too. 

drawing | i am aquarius

·
for 2150 years aquarius will rule our age. in retrogade following the recent age of pisces, we've landed ourselves at the very beginning of an interesting era. 
·
executing a tad of research on the subject, we may actually not be in the clear about its exact kick-off.

·
let's stick to the sign. a friend of mine drew my horoscope a few years ago and calculated my aquarian liabilities, which in turn appear on no less then three levels, which is rich, in a calamitous way. 
·
when my aquarian nature surfaces, i often find merry murphy in my vicinity though.

·
interestingly, in asian countries i hop about a happy bunny {read: rabbit / cat}, but in western europe i am carrying the water home. 
·
i've tried bringing a few aforementioned elements together in one drawing. 
·
however, shall we come close to a celestial troupe? 
·
thanks, all, for playing, and here are some signs you may wanna be looking into: patrice, helen, renilde, julia, rosemary, victoria, tanïa, carole, lise b, leena, ariane, kristen.

hard-waring green {renov # 24}

{previously}

·
the hallway usually is the artery to a house. it is by most means, the spot where one enters one's humble adobe. 
·
for the past two years already, we've been living this, our very own green, green grass of home. actually. that would be lying. it was only last year, i did steam off the last remnants of the multi layered wall paper, 

·
so this unpleasing green was revealed to us just some twelve months ago. this {cadmium, forest, hunter, army, pakistan, moss, bottle, pool} green has been biting our ankles like it is nobody's business. 
·
not just that. it comes all glossed over shiny. once upon a time a slap on dado, it now sits saddeningly stickety-stick on the lower part of our much worn hallway walls.

·
this is something i have contemplated while plastering and sanding. 
·
as i've recently been spending the better part of two days in the downstairs hallway, i've had good intention after clever plan after sad rejection on how to efficiently do away with that ghastly green. 

·
as i've also been planning the garden these spring days, the meaning of the colour green has been seeping in through all pores, no doubt about that. 
·
green can be drunk in, especially after a gruesome grey winter. green is a fresh colour to cheer anyone up, on those budding trees and shrubs, and in the promise of flower leafs 
·
{and freshly sewn, invisible grass, for that matter - and thank you once again, renilde, for fruits of your labour from your luscious garden!}

·
just no poker green on a hallway wall please, and not of the fiery kind. 
·
be sure the dado green will pop back: it only sits on all three floors of the hallway.
