Penduka

Penduka is a non-profit organisation for 20 years! All run by hard-working front woman Christien. The website with the products is finally there and Buro Reng did a wonderful job.
I do like the family-story-telling tableclothes the most!

By purchasing a Penduka product you do not just have a beautiful and unique product for yourself, but you also contribute towards a better life for women in Namibia.

Have a look! PENDUKA
(and funny to see parts of our house!)

Schooldays

My parents were born in 1948 and 1949.
At that time this young man went to school 6 days a week.
There are books - first print 1883.
I think he was a hard worker.
AND he took much care of his work.


also happy to see that the king of Sweden needed glasses too.

Stories

The new old house of Jet &co. Full of hidden treasures.
I was strong and only took some paper goods and a pink blanket.
Show you tomorrow...



Thank you Jet, for showing me around!
And look....
This is our bedroom long time ago...

Fascinating...

"What I’m looking for is a way to give material the qualities that I need. So what I want to do is say to a future [insect], ‘Spin me a thread. Align it in this direction. Make it hydrophobic. And while you’re at it, just form it around this 3D shape.’”
(Suzanne Lee)

You can watch a very insparational & instructive video HERE

Amazing...

Good start of the new year.

2012

Afgelopen jaar heb ik 26 berichten geplaatst. In 2009 waren het er 200 meer...
Heb ik weinig nieuws of was ik gewoon te druk? Beide denk ik...
Afgelopen dagen raakte ik weer geprikkeld door een groot fotografen koppel!
Dat ik ineens zin heb in een nieuwe camara en mijn mobiel weer ga gebruiken om te bellen...

Ik wens iedereen hele mooie laatste dagen van het jaar 2012
en voor 2013

Laat je bevangen door de schoonheid van licht!


Tot volgend jaar.

Breiwerk

Sinds 1955 heeft Loes Veenstra meer dan 500 truien gebreid!
Christien Meindertsma fotografeerde ze allemaal en maakte er een boek van!



To celebrate Christien organized a flashmob!
Klik hier voor de flashmob

Since 1955, Loes Veenstra knitted over 500 sweaters that she stored in cardboard boxes in her home.
The sweaters had never been worn.

Olifantenpaadjes

Olifantenpaadjes...i saw the book some time ago while i was in Paris and it was something...fascinating.
Never heard of before but so 'regular' it stayed in mind. Everytime i see this 'elephant-path' (desire-lines)
i wanted to know more about it.





So i found this video. You have to watch this. Sorry that it's in dutch.

Sam

Sam is in our life for more than 6 months now...he really is a member of our family so i was quite in shock when i heard he was in an accident. Hit by a car while playing and running like a youngster after a chestnut. On thursday i went to a specialist to have a look at his leg, but it couldn't be saved...so now we have a very special dog. From now he will live his life with 3 legs. We are all just very happy he's still with us! But it is a sad story.

Autumn

Great about autumn is the harvest. I started to sow again. I am studying again. I will be an art- teacher in two years time. Hope to have a great harvest then, i have to grow in this way of life...
