Bloem

i love those flowers in my window! today is going to be a fabulous warm & lovely day, but i only see grey now. guess have to wait a few hours.

today Sanne has her second violin lesson and she's uber excited. she got her violin last week and looks & plays with it every day. can't wait to see her reading music and playing songs. she's already making up songs herself. good thing.

Ruben finished his sessions with his speech therapist yesterday. he was so excited he's a real big boy now, ready to go to Kindergarten. sigh. speedy time!

making progress!

Hertje_hartje

i told you a while ago about my plans for 2011. my goals. my word GO. i promised you to keep you up to date so here we go!

* my blog makeove is almost finished. the very talented Kirsty is helping me out and man she's rad. wicked. turns all my ideas & plans in reality and it feels so good. so better watch my blog soon for a change and of course that'll come with a nice, very nice, give away! stay tuned!

* i'll have a date next week with a very very lovely talented lady. and we are going to work out some plans, ideas and directions. such dates feel so good and energizing! already can't wait!

* planning on new mini albums & kits (i promise to make more next time!). trying to plan ahead.

* making a list of tutorials i want and need to write. for crochet, sew & scrapbooking.

so i'm keeping my hands busy in between managing my company Artifex Support and chasing after those little buggers. but i'm doing fine. finally feeling, really feeling, that i'm getting somewhere. taking baby steps though, but i know it's working already.

tomorrow is a very important day. Arjan turns 40! man. that sounds like a dinosaur! ha. anyway. i've just received the huge canvasses today, thanks to my sweet friend Corinne i did not loose my mind while thinking the courier couldn't make it… and they look amazing! i can't wait to see his face! the muppets already saw them and they were uberly excited. now that's not really fair, cause my little muppets get overly excited over a fart….

life is good. make plans.

it’s official now…

 IMG_1266-2 colorful kick

when i see pics like this: I MISS MY OLD HAIR! it's crazy isn't it? but always when i have it long, i want it short. when i have it light, i want it dark. when i have curly waves (natural :) , i want to straighten them out. and every freaking single time i see a pic of me with my old hairdo (any year!) i WANT THAT BACK.

don't get me wrong: my hairdresser is a pearl, but still. i'm always wondering what if?

so. do you also have those weird hairdo problems? or am i the only nutcase here? probably not! tell me!

o, and look at Ruben, only 2 years old in this pic! Mister cutiepie. only 4 more weeks and he's off to Kindergarten. sigh. BIG FAT SIGH.

life is good. gimme my hair back!

Mosaic_go2011_revlie

i'm writing the Dutch & English tutorials and hope to finish them this week (if i say 70+ pictures, do you jump like your feet are on fire?). and this time: THERE ARE KITS!!! but note: in a very limited amount, and there are a few reservations already. so if you want to grab one, hurry and let me know (in this post, by email, twitter, facebook or airplane). i don't care. just let me know you want one. and maybe i'll play nice you're in time.

this one you do not want to miss girl!

*** edited: only 1 more kit available and than it's sold out already! so if you are thinking about it… better hurry up your proces YOU can still be on the waitinglist. maybe i can manage to create some extra kits! just let me know! ***

life is good. fabric, felt & paper, do i need more?

here she goes!

Sanne_viool_maart2011

she took her first lesson to try if this fits and dang what a perfect fit it is! she immediately held her hands right and tried on a few notes. proud glowing mommy. ruben was overly thrilled cause he saw real pair of drums and he cannot wait to grow bigger! (he needs to be at least 8 to try!). she'll have a private lesson every week and her teacher is the cutest from Belgium! ha. we'll have fun!

at lunch when Ruben & Sanne were at the office today, Ruben was sitting alone on the table and i was finishing an email. Jacqueline, one of my new girls, was there also. arjan was picking up sanne from school. ruben already jumped at his lunch and all of a sudden he said "hey, what's happening to me??". so Jacqueline and i looked at eachother, already laughing. "well Ruub, what's happening?". and he looked at his arms & hands like he saw them for the very first time and yelled "I AM GROWING!!". hahaha. he really really cracks me up. "hey what's happening to me?". the dude is from another planet. but i love that planet!

life is good. and we are on a roll!
