My summer patterning continues, with yummy summer inspiration all around us. Recently, we went strawberry picking with the girls on a local farm nearby. Especially our little Carolina is very fond of strawberries and so I wanted to preserve some of this summer goodness in a pattern. And I had to draw my sketches quickly… Read More
Today I turned Clara’s calendar and her favourite monthly page of them all is now hanging in our living room. And her calendar is so right! Summer has arrived with its full glorious force this week, with the temperatures rising to new heights daily. Carolina asks for ice cream on a daily basis too –… Read More
It is my birthday today. And though it was on a regular working Monday, I just liked it that way. Waking up to table of presents, a cake and flowers, taking a cold shower, teaching yoga classes in the morning and in the evening, a little bit of painting, drawing and designing, my lovely family,… Read More

Our first LoveLights show is still hanging beautifully and for our new show at a fancy hairdresser’s we also want to some of our collaborative paintings. We had another painting session last weekend. It was a warm… Read More

I used to knit a lot. I even used to have a knitting blog. I started this dress 3,5 years ago when I was pregnant with my second daughter Carolina (blogged here). Then I stopped knitting this dress. Because of the belly. Then because of breastfeeding. And then painting came my way again. 3,5 years… Read More
February has arrived. And feels like another unspectacular winter month. But yes, there will be green, amongst the grey and the white – as Clara’s calendar promises. Maybe catkins (love that word). And definitely snowdrops, like always in February around here.
After the tropical palette of the last pattern 2/52, it is now time to face the reality of German winter again. Even though we have hardly had any snow yet … You might recognize the pattern again, I used Clara’s January calendar page for it. I took a photo of the cut-outs and it image-traced… Read More
