Entdeckungsreise ins Selbst
Yesterday my son and I went out to collect some stones on the river. Our plan was to wash them, apply Gesso, and then paint them with joy. Well, we didn’t even succeed washing them, so I postponed this project until today. After applying Gesso for two times, we finally got to paint the base of…
My CASIO watch wristband broke this morning. I immediately thought, it could be my day project to make a new wristband in macrame style. It took me until the night to even start anything about it. First I attempted to cut the connection of the wristband to the watch itself, in order to make the…
Today I made it my goal to use the template I created on yesterday to fill with colors on my Adobe Photoshop program. It wasn’t all that easy in the end because I struggled at the beginning to even find the bucket tool, not to mention the color palette, in order to fill the empty spaces…
I feel like a movie while my boys are visiting friends. I love the peace, the silence, and the possibility to do something I haven’t done for many months. Good that my hubby has Amazon Prime for this month, so I could enjoy a funny, yet deep romantic Finish in German language. Actually, I thought…
I had a lot of liquified paint left from a prior project. I had this idea to simply splash these colors on an acrylic painted frame, and so we did. I invited my son to participate, as this covers the usual playtime, for which I hadn’t have much time nor energy today. He was very happy, and…
This morning I was sitting at the breakfast table, thinking what my project for today could be. Then I caught sight of the design of my kitchen chair, and knew, what I am going to do. Lots of lines, lots of colors, maybe even shadows. Then I began searching a lineal, which I thought I…
This morning my husband send my son with 3 toilet paper rolls to the trash bag. When I saw him I asked, “Please, don’t throw them, let’s save these toilet paper rolls.” “What for, mom?”, my son was asking skeptically. I explained that at times they are really good for creating toys, or other useful things….
About half a year ago I purchased some clay, which was laying untouched in my shelf. Today I felt I am going to create something of it. On the packaging of this clay was demonstrated a sun made of this particular clay. When my son discovered the sun he decided that I was going to create a…
I really yearned for finishing a necklace made of macrame I had started the other day. Looking back, it took me about double the time I had planned, approximately 2 hours. I always reminded me, “Keep it simple! Time is running! Embrace imperfection!” It wasn’t always that easy to keep in that mode, yet it…
This morning I really took an easy approach. The night had been really draining of energy, with my son waking a couple of times, screaming, shouting, the usual when he goes to bed overtired. In first place I decided to have a different breakfast this morning. I made a cake, something my son often wishes…
