Happy Easter

Weekend Going-Ons

Painting,  dying and cooking,puffing chestnuts. My husband couldn't hold himself from making this wonderfull paëlla.
I made a huge chocolate tart, but everything is gone now, I can't take anymore pictures.

We finally managed to paint the studio, it is almost finished.
I posted about this projest almost 2 years ago, I made an altered picture with photoshop of how I wanted it to be "here"
And the last picture is just some dirt on the terras, but it reminded me of a pretty bird.
I am not sure what it is, I think its a crushed acorn and threads

13 birds

pay it forward

While reading a few blogs, I saw this "Pay it forward"post on , I decided to participate and so can you!
Anyone can play, but the rules are:

I will send a handmade gift to the first three people who leave a comment here requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog

drawing by William

This painting is really a drawing that my youngest son made some years ago and I made it bigger and turned it into a painting, this is fun to do . you should try it, but leave the drawing exactly as it was.

new studio

I was painting very little lately, hardly new how to do it anymore, most off the time because I was too lazy to get all my stuff and my studio upstairs is to small. I have to draw and work there and don't want to paint there, Now I got the idea of just putting all my stuff on the windowsill in the living room and everything else, my brushes, water, pallets, paper, all in the room where I sit to relax, and really it helps, I always want to paint now, my appetite for it has come back. Also of course because I have more time now, I have worked on a big project for the last 2 years and that is finished now. I enjoy it!
