Friday already – time flies and the days are already shortening again…
This morning there even was a hint of Autumn in the air – oh how I love
those Months when the leaves turn yellow and spiders weave their webs.
Months in which everything turns back to normal. People go to work.
Children go to school. Days when in the morning you have to put on a jacket
but in the afternoon you can do without – nice temperatures and a low sun.
September, October… (*teehee* my birthday month!)

Why was I thinking of that?
Well – in September the online workshop “Let it Loose” will start!
With the vacation ending and children going back to school, momma’s will
have time to “let it loose” – so I thought.
I went through the lessons again this week and got enthusiastic all over,
so today I will show you sneaks of what to expect in that workshop.

But first, as promised, “skinny skinnies!”

The bright days kept on being bright last week!
But with the sun shining through our blinds I noticed something…

… how dirty my windows and blinds were!

You can’t see it on this photo but believe me – two smokers in the house
leave you with a thick layer of nicotine on the windows and blinds…

… and since the bicycle racers in the Tour de France had their day off -
no telecasting on Wednesday – I spend that day cleaning the windows
and the blinds.

Why do I post this, you ask?
Well, for starters – I’m not the “housekeeping kind of woman”.
And second: It took me all day and left me with muscle pain in my arms so yes,
I want the world to know I CLEANED THE BLINDS!! YEAY!

My beloved got infected by this cleaning virus and he decided to go polish
our dining room table on Wednesday evening… I gotta say: he asked first
’cause – as you know – that’s the place where I create.
I had no deadlines waiting and the table really needed a polish so I said
go ahead but ooohhh, it always takes over a day (polish – oil – wait for the
wood to absorb the oil -  rub – oil  – you get the picture) before we can sit
at the table again so I found myself at a loose end yesterday…
I just didn’t know what to do with myself! I have no problem with having
diner on the couch in front of the TV but did you notice that the BEST
scrapping ideas come when you’re not able to scrap??!!!

..

But of course I wouldn’t leave you on a Friday without showing a layout…

Can I take a deep sigh…?

A REALY DEEP SIGH….???

OK, done. I needed that!

You all know my new workshop “A Creative Art Journey” starts Friday, don’t
you? And of course I started working on it in time… but after I wrote a number
of lessons for it, it somehow didn’t feel right… don’t know why… I just didn’t
“like them” a lot. So I thought about it, talked about it with my beloved but
kept on going anyway… and suddenly last week I knew “what was wrong”
and I decided to go back to the beginning and change it… oooohhhh..
so little time left and right at that moment I decide to go back and start over.

is it Friday again already?
Yes… Oh. Ehm…
Do I have something to show you?

Well of course I do!!!

“Uprising” – do you know that song?
My son is a huge fan of the band “Muse” and he’s going to see them live
in Nijmegen this summer…

When I went with my son to a school event recently  (there was music,
plays and speeches – the theme was “seven sins”) the evening started with
a “big opening” in which this song was played.
The way the “actors” played on this song gave me shivers down my spine.

It’s a grey day over in the Netherlands and the rain comes pouring down…
but it doesn’t bother me much. I feel fine!
After four weeks of “Letting it Loose in my Workshop” the ladies in the
group are still very enthusiastic and it warms my heart and makes me happy!

Because of the shout outs on all their blogs, I got several others asking for this
workshop and so I’m glad to inform you that

the online workshop “Let it Loose” will start again on May 3 and a
new online workshop “A Creative Art Journey” will start on May 7.

Registration is now open and you can find all info in the shop on my website.

I finally finished the art journal page for “A Year in the Life of an Art Journal”
last week. Remember the gel medium transfer of the ultrasound photo of
my son which I transferred onto cloth? I used it!
