Snapshots from a workspace

This little thrifted bird is always very nosey and wants to know what's going on on my desk.
He has a special interest in tape and crocheted work,
and is very picky about colours.

I look forward to using this paper yarn from Paperphine.
Not only the yarn itself is gorgeous,
the wooden bobbin is beautiful too.























I got this second hand sari - I love that embroidery! -
from a lovely lady in Jodhpur (the amazing blue town in Rajasthan, India).
And it's perfect for hiding a lot of, well, stuff.

Looking at it, it makes me want to pack my bag and go back, like,
right now!

Fluttering Thoughts

Of course - I know it's kitsch.
But for 50 cents I couldn't resist this sweet little bird at the thriftshop...

It's nice enough to give a little kitsch bird a new home,
but real birds are the ones that really need our protection.
Today the Dutch queen wore a hat made of feathers...
Many birds died for that silly hat.

I would... Pack my suitcases

It's tempting to pack my suitcases and just leave
to more exciting places.

I would take some good books with me to read or reread.

I would definitely try as much dishes as possible.
Oh! The joy of all that great vegan food to discover abroad!
One of the many delicious meals I had in South East Asia:

I would be learning the necessary phrases
to make sure my vegan meal isn't drenched in fish sauce.




































I would go to the local markets. 
And buy even more food...

*snap*
Back to reality.
No travelling for months to come.
But one can dream...
