His blue eyes...

 

Va, you have passed away

and all of us are here to stay...

In the abscence of Moe and you,

today, that seems too hard to do...

I have said many goodbye's

and looked in your bright blue eyes...

In my heart I will always see,

those eyes and that last smile between you and me...

 

 

 

Va, this is how I will remember you...

Delicious Istanbul

Istanbul

was full

of delicious and tasty food

and when you are in the mood

a cup of tea

or two or three.

The yummy Mezze will fill you up

and why not, some more appeltea in your cup!

Ending with some Baklava or Turkisch delight...

and you are ready for the night!

Religious Istanbul

Istanbul

was full

of prayers

and mosques in layers.

The beautiful voice through the microphone

made me stop what I was doing and call home...
Va, I prayed for you and me
to be as calm and strong as can be...

Gorgeous Istanbul

Istanbul

was full

of gorgeous ladies and men...

I am deffinitely a fan!

Although it will always have a sad place in my heart

because it was the place I had to part

from another beautiful soul

I now do not feel so whole..

These are some images I saw

that left me in awe...

 

 

Older lady with red roses

Turkey had Tulips all over

 

 

 



 

 

 

The blue kept strong

A lot of blue going on



Some of the things we saw...

Hard and soft

More wonderful T's



Laundry in the sky

Ready for the season!

 


Spring is here,

and I am ready my dear

for some joy in the sun

and maybe some craftmarket fun?

I have some delicious rings

and am ready to sell my things!

First one up is the 4th of May,

will you join me that day?


 

The dark days...

 

I am ready for spring

and getting away from the dark and blue days I am in...

 

I refuse to see

that 2013

is a bad year

to whom to me is dear

All that goes wrong

is just a (messed up) way to make you strong!

 

 

The brooch on the picture above,

 was one of the thingies a lovely friend gave me...

The fun part is,

that it came with a little manual on how to make these yourselve...

I love it!

 

 

 



Six little books!

Yippie! They are here!

 

A couple of days ago

I said ''no''

to every form of distraction

and I got into action.

My favorite pics from India in 6 little books

check out how the first one looks...

The ear wants something too...

So I've been making these rings,

out of buttons and things...

My button collection is starting to grow

and so is my excitement for this whole show...

I am now making earings as well...

don't they look swell?

 

 

My plans for an onlineshop are getting more clear

stay tuned, an announcement might appear!
