Autumn harvest allotment

Don't worry about a thing.....

Because everything will be all right

- Bob Marley-

Dear all,

It has been quit some time since i posted on this blog. Well, I needed all my energy for daily live- there was so much going on. Good things i must say! After all those years i'm pregnant..... i can not describe how i feel. Something like "Kicking and Alive, with this Little One (tomorrow 20 weeks!) in my belly". I am so thankful, and i lovelovelove being pregnant. Can not wait for this new adventure of motherhood!

Left side: you can see a bit of the ( 2 century old!) wooden sliding door behind our bed, where i keep my clothes.

The Dots in a little corner, combined with the Woods wallpaper from Cole and Son (has been years on my wish list!).

The old chimney with my beloved painting from Granny and the pregnancy chain, a gift from one from one of my best friends when she found out about Little One. 

So i hope this first post since means a new beginning at this blog. I hope i will be able to keep sharing my excitement and happy moments in upcoming life. For a start, here are some pics from our new bedroom, made by my love with recycled materials from our old little canal house. Because of the nausea in the first 16 weeks i spent a lot of time in my bed, but the delicate atmosphere made it a real nice place to be. Although it is not yet finished, it is already perfect to me.

Hope to be back here soon!

XOXO

Kingsday

We have a new King, Hurray!
The picture below is our King when he was a little boy. It is made by Studio Sjoe Sjoe (reblogged-is that a word?- from Jurianne).

We got up early to stroll at the freemarket with friends in our home town Dordrecht. Love the atmosphere on this special day, everybody is happy and making fun! 

 Afterwards we ate pie at my new (old) plates, love them!

Happy wall

Happy Wall in my new study, partly inspired by my favorite bloggers:

1. Hope poster from Anki from Zilverblauw

2. Wall pegg self made (from wood leftover from our old canal house) inspired by Ingrid from Wood Wool Stool

3. Birdy drawn by Geninne 

But most precious is the little framed flower, which is a gift from my Granny. She got it from her parents for her new room when she was a little girl. I think it is so lovely!

Snowpuppe in Spring

A while ago i posted about inspiration for our new bedroom. Well, our bedroom is not finished yet, but we do have now a new little sleeping room. It is like a tiny wooden cabin- made from recycled wood- on top floor of our old canal  house. It is going to be our guest room, nothing fancy just easy white with a nature touch. Untill our bedroom is ready on the first floor, this little cabin is our place to dream. And i am loving it! Who says you need a bedroom more than 5 square metre?!

My love made me a special light, just as i wished for. We bought a paper lampshade from Dutch designers Studio Snowpuppe and searched for a tree branch in the forrest. Now we have our own delicate moth light.

The Artist Place

A walk through sunny home- town Dordrecht brought us to the Artist Place of Frits Anton van der Horst (1946) and his little circus dog Tarzan. Frits is our neighbor down at the allotment. Love the colour Bomb!

Feeling like Spring!

It has been a while since i posted a blog. I am so focused on my goals these day and being really efficient- which means no much time for contemplation...And i must say- i like it! The couple of last years i invested in my spiritual live and body awareness, mindfulness and so on. I had no choice. Now, finally i can say it seems i am back on track again. I am feeling this life is my life and is a good one, no matter what. Maybe that seems weird, but i had times that it felt like i was lost, endlessly circling around the same questions and neverending grief. The last 6 month i am feeling better and better. We made choices and started with things we are really engaged to. Now it is spring and i feel like we our building on our save haven again. We are doings the rights things, it is time for contemplative Action! So being a way from this blog means at the moment " it is Good".

I love this (syn)energy and really enjoy it- oh i am feeling like Spring!
