BUSY BUSY

Lots of things have been keeping me busy lately and making it hard to start writing a weekly post again about my daily adventures since coming back from my Asia trip. Although it has been a couple of months now that I started working after graduation, I still have to find my way around in having a bit of an organized weekly rhythm, but maybe that will never happen and I have to accept that that’s just me!

Next to a big project at work I’ll be busy moving out upcoming weeks. After five years living in a student house (good memories!) it is time for me to move to a somewhat bigger space with more privacy. Happily I will still have the  company of two room mates at my new house and fortunately my old house is closeby, so I can still easily visit my lovely old roomies!

I opened the shop again, for now I will only sell film-slide necklaces because of the moving out. Once I have fully moved, and visited all the festivals I want to see this summer I will supply the shop with more wannahaves!

Last weekend I went to a new festival called ’Down The Rabbit Hole’ nearby Nijmegen. Besides live music there were many other possibilities like watching a movie, building your own raft and sail on the lake or BBQing your own meal. A must see if you’re here next June 2015 if you ask me!

The pictures above show one of my trips by bike (I went to see a little feel good market with my family in Nijmegen) and the greens on my balcony (it’s growing wildly!).

BITS AND PIECES

Lots of stuff has been going on lately:
- I planted some herbal plants, Coriander, Basil and Mint.
- A little trip to Antwerp with my friends.
- Helped my sister moving to Maastricht ( a lovely city in the very South of the Netherlands).
- Enjoyed the beautiful sunlight during a train trip in the late afternoon.

Besides I received my Master of Science diploma in Industrial Design and I got a one-month-job at a design company in Eindhoven last week!

BRING IN THE GREEN

Now that Autumn has come and the days are getting colder I've decided to bring a part of my Mint and Basil plant inside. Since most of the Mint plant already died, I took the best leaves and put it in a small jar with water to have the Mint grow roots again. As you can see this worked out well! The Basil still dirty from outside got a nice place as well.

After a week I put the Mint plant also in a pot, now its roots are nested in the soil. Together the Mint and Basil live in my windowsill now.

Furthermore I planted some Anemone De Caen and Ranunculus bulbs in hollow bricks on my balcony. I hope they will flower my balcony with colours upcoming spring!

Liefs!
