Suzani Skirt

Here it is, my first pattern design on a piece of clothing. My go-to-sewing-pattern-for-a-simple-skirt is Caprice by Mamu Design. I can wear it in summer, and with leggings for the rest of the year, I even wear it in yoga classes. I sewed a similar skirt last January (and wrote a similar-looking post about it)… Read More

Pink Moment of the Week

… getting myself a mouse. From all the computer work since summer I got a hurting right upper arm. And all the yoga doesn’t help. I think, it comes from the motions I make with my hand on the touchpad. And I hope, that different montions with a mouse might relieve the pain. Plus it… Read More

Two Euros

Besides my two 365-day-projects I blogged about last year – 365declutter and Carolina’s naps – I had another little year-long-project going on. I collected all the two-Euro-coins that landed in my purse. And now was the big day to count the cash. Especially my 8-year-old-Clara was very interested in this as she is in all… Read More

Hello January!

Now that I had turned the last page of Clara’s calendar of 2014, I was so delighted by Clara’s christmas present for Hubby and myself – a calendar of 2015! This time the calendar was her year-long project in art class at school, every month of last year the children would make a calendar page.… Read More

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‚Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?‘ Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” 
― Marianne Williamson

Would you have guessed that I painted these flowers digitally, solely on the iPad? While most digital artists prefer Procreate, I love Adobe Fresco for its unpredictable watercolour brushes which bring much of the beauty and magic of real watercolours 🎨💫

For those of you who are interested in trying digital watercolour painting on the iPad I have a whole beginner class on @skillshare on this topic where we will paint crocuses in the snow, a little harbinger of spring. You can find the link to the class in my bio linktree ⬆️ It also gives you a month on Skillshare for free, with access to all my classes and thousands more.
