I Can´t Be A Cutie Pie All The Time, Can I ?

“War in the east,

War in the west,

War up north,

War down south,

War – war,

Rumours of  war” ( War, lyrics by Bob Marley )

My mother is very tired.

There is a dreadful war going on in her garden.

The war against “Arion Lusinaticus”.

I can not reveal the horrors of war,

and let you know how she kills the killer slugs.

Just to let you know,

it´s not my mother in the picture,

and the snail is not a killer slug he´s a friend of mine.

I Pee When I Laugh

admin | July 22, 2009

Okay people, I know that I´ve promised to tell you everything about the “5 – days creative

workshop”, in Briançon.

This time I will not give you any Fairy Tales, here comes the true story;

Workshop means literally hard work.

Imagine a very serious group of very serious women from America, Great Britain, Australia

and Sweden, focused and concentrated on stitching and knitting.

There wasn´t any time for discussions about art, craft and life in general.

No time for making new friends.

We didn´t rock with laughter, not once.

We had no time or interest to eat and drink Katies and Mikes excellent food and wine.

I had no time to discuss gardening with Linda and I didn´t take any photos in the garden.

Sue was very busy stitching so she missed all the chances to tease Mike.

Margo spent all her time making embroiderys on flowers,

so she couldn´t keep the rest of the world updated about the workshop through Facebook.

Unlike all the humans The dog “Dog” slept all the time,

so he never barked at wild and dangerous animals in the bushes.

Have I missed something important, please correct me!

By the way Sue, sometimes I laugh when I pee.

Shiny Happy People Laughing

admin | July 20, 2009

“Shiny happy people laughing

Meet me in the crowd

People people

Throw your love around

Love me love me

Take it into town

Happy happy

Put it in the ground

Where the flowers grow

Gold and silver shine”  ( REM )

Not many human faces to be found here in my blog.

This post is no exception,

Julie Arkell is a Fairy Tale!

( “Show and tell”, the last day of the workshop in Briançon 2009)

With My Own Two Hands

admin | July 15, 2009

“I can hold you

With my own two hands

I can comfort you

With my own two hands” ( Ben Harper )

I would travel to another planet just to be able to take this picture.

This time I went to Briançon in France.

Julie Arkell, the polkadotted apron, the whimsical quirky characters, I´m in love.

There Is A House In New Orleans

admin | July 13, 2009

There is a house in New Orleans

They call the Rising Sun

It´s been the ruin of many poor “What rabbits”…( The Animals, sort of… )

Inspired by Julie Arkell I made this creature during the workshop.

Needle and thread, have never been my best friends.

Julie said;

-Make it rough !

And so I did !

Oh, When It´s Good, It´s So, So Good

admin | July 11, 2009

Oh, when it´s good, it´s so, so good

When it´s gone, it´s gone. ( Ben Harper )

I´m back home again!

I´ve had a hallelujah-moment week, in France.

Five days creative workshop with Julie Arkell in beautiful Briançon, I´m speechless.

I will tell you everything about it;

the creative workshop itself, the beautiful house and garden, the divine food, the meetings,

the “lovelygenerouscrazy” people, the dog “Dog”….

But, first of all I´ll have to have a serious talk with my Secret Garden.

My heart belongs to ALL OF YOU  that made this week unforgettable. Thank´s !!! / Becky

( The lovely jar belonged to Joanna Wright )
