Pattern 21/52

This week on a rainy May afternoon I was knitting away on my leftover blanket (a project that’s been already going on years!), when I realized how much I liked the random colour combination of green, purple and light pink. And the colours reminded me of something I have seen recently, what was it? Then… Read More

Train Station Yarn Graffiti

Back home from a 6-day-European-city-family-holiday. Before we went, I discovered this yarn graffiti in front of Oldenburg train station: More about this super-relaxed, inspirational and only mildly mind-blowing getaway after I have unpacked.

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

This week I had the big honour to do a dance & art This week I had the big honour to do a dance & art project at a school in Oldenburg, where I live in Germany. The overall theme was ‘Europe & Diversity’.

For the whole week the pupils (aged 10-14) and I danced to songs in the languages of Europe, in this school alone there are pupils from over 50 nationalities.

And then we painted the national flowers of European countries (like roses of England, irises of France, poppies of Poland and cornflowers of Germany) to put them together in a large colourful collage to be displayed at the end of the week on Open Day, and the pupils also choreographed their own dance performance. I am very proud of them 💃🏻🎨🌸🎉😊💪 And I feel I learned more from them then they from me.

Bye-bye, acrylics for the moment! We had such an impressive expressive time together. But I think tomorrow I will open a new chapter of art supplies for the last 15 cards of my project.

I still can’t really believe it’s summer now! I still can’t really believe it’s summer now! It’s like longing for it all year and now it came like a surprise, strange thing.

Still a month of work ahead for me, but then - let’s start dreaming, this photo by @malswim with my Aloha print puts me in the right tropical state of mind 🌴🌊👙
