in ruins

Whenever I go to work, I pass the old school, where I took Spanish language lessons ten years ago.

The school was out of use for a while, but since a few months there is a large fence around the old building and it is being demolished.

Today we sneaked inside from what is left of the school and I took one more look in my old 'spanish' classroom and walked through the battered building.

The mural in the stairwell was my favorite part of the building and it was still untouched.

The old school is completely in ruins, which is a pity actually. They could have built loft apartments in the building...

old school

A wonderful old school building in my hometown is being transformed into apartments.

The sad thing is, they will be building way too many apartments, which ruines the whole atmosphere.

Last Saturday we were daydreaming about 'our new residence' in for example two of those huge and high classrooms, imagine the possibilities...

...the kitchen say in the middle of the room,
oh all that space and gigantic high ceilings,
bedrooms and bathroom in the room next door...
etcetera

We took pictures of the beautiful old details, had fun and fantasized a little bit.

dress code: hodgepodge

I like to dress in layers and wear a hodgepodge of styles.
A tartan skirt, denim, stripes, woolen cardigan, multicolored beanie and boots with socks.
I don't care if it doesn't actually goes together.
Everything is possible, as long as you like it.

dress & beanie

Tomorrow I'm off to Marrakech.

You can follow our adventures during the Cool Crochet Workshop on Instagram @woodwoolstool.

Yesterday I received lots of cool comments on the sweaterdress-post and even more questions about the beanie I was wearing.
It's from Marrakech, made by Aisha and I will bring back some more beanies this time.
When I'm back I will also write down the pattern of the beanie soon, so you can make one yourself.

If you would like to knit your own sweater dress you can find the P A T T E R N in my Etsy shop. It's also possible to write me an email for the pattern (info@woodwoolstool.com).
