Today it's 7 years ago my father died. I remember it as if it was today. His last breath. I am glad that the fog of this morning is slowly disappearing. Think I will go for a walk this afternoon and let my thoughts go to all the good memories I have of my father.


Vader en dochter/Herman De coninck
*
'Slaap maar,' zeg ik
tegen een dochter die allang slaapt
en daar wakker van wordt.

Het onweert. Misschien wil ik wel
dat zij bang is, dan kan ik vader zijn.
Maar ik kan niets anders dan samen met haar
niets kunnen.

Zoals woorden. De dingen gebeuren.
Zonder woorden zouden ze ook gebeuren.
Maar dan zonder woorden.

~Herman de Coninck

Happy customers

I am always superhappy when I get a lovely feedback from a customer.

Mustard, saffron and cinnamon...

Yesterday I went shopping in Gent, needed some felt supplies urgent!
(and as you see on the picture, I definitely need more sleep and a new haircut too! :-))
I found this leather rose brooch in Veritas, couldn't resist it! Love the
color! it matches my shoes!

I looove this new fal colors and used the orange-mustard (or is it honey) in some new designs! Mustard is the new color this winter, combines perfect with aubergine, purple,lavender, lilac and sea blue!
Mustard is a color that resembles culinary mustard. It is similar to the color Flax. This color was very popular during the mid-1970s and now t is regaining popularity!!
The Mustard color is also similar to:
- the color Flax (the color of Flax seeds), also know as Goldenrod
- amber
- saffron
- cinnamon
oh, and what a bout caramel?

The tattoo beads are vintage, I bought them years ago on a thrift market in France and found them back on the bottom of an old box on my attic! I am glad they found a new life as earrings in my Etsy shop!

and a little note for my sweet blogreaders who left a comment in the previous blogpost.I feel so happy with your comments on the issues of Downsyndrome and regular public school. It fills my heart with warmth! thanks!
And such a contrast with the radionews I heard yesterday where 70% of the radio listeners (Studio Brussel) voted for 'no kids with down in the regular schools'.

Flickr Favs and my happy bunch of kids

Ok, I found my energy back, (maybe it has to do with the beautiful weather this morning and after a refreshing bikeride to school with my kids) I can only hope it lasts... :-)

Quite a happy Mosaic, maybe I was still in the happy mood of last sunday, the pictures show how much fun we had with the kids at the playground. And I can tell you I am so happy to see how my eldest kids are helping my little one who is a bit disabled. That is the spirit!







The last days there is a lot of commotion in Belgium concerning the following theme:
'do kids with Down Syndrome have the right to attend a regular public school'
I say YES! Kids with Downsyndrome live in a 'normal' family too, so why can't they go to 'normal' schools then. Lots of opinions are based on prejudices!
I think government should give more facilities to teachers with a kid with Down in their class. !

EST challenge and WEEKEND DEAL 15% off everything

Fairy Dream earrings


Dark Elfin Earrings

I did find some time last week to participate in the EST challenge.
This is a challenge of the European Street Team, every week, one of the members choses a new theme. It is a way to keep us creative and to discover new ways of inspiration. Every member is free to participate!

This week the theme was trolls, gnomes and... Elves. Hosted by Jealousydesign. (find her shop here.)
I am not so troll minded and as my designs are usually very feminine I chose for the Elves! But I came out with a 'troll' desing too, well I gave it the name 'dark Elfin' ;-)) They are both in my shop.




My Japanese garden earrings are back, find them here in my shop.



Alos Silk Lady Lady is back in my shop, lilac silk and turquoise stones on a copper chain! find it here.
