marvelous marrakech workshop preparations

Final preparations for the Marvelous Marrakech workshop are in full swing. Have been working on the last details for the workshop program this afternoon. Next to a bunch of sunflowers from the Villa Augustus garden and enjoying the late summer sunshine in my studio.

I can't wait to return to Marrakech and I'm super excited to meet everyone!

In exactly two weeks from now we will kick off with the traditional welcome dinner on the roof terrace at Chambres d'Amis!

extend of summer

It is September already. Summer of 2018 does fly by way too fast!

The good thing is, the summer feeling will continue in Marrakech in October.

In exactly one month from now, I will fly to Marrakech again to give two workshops;
First we will kick off with the 10th Cool Crochet workshop and a few days later the 4th Green Gardens workshop starts.

Both workshops are fully booked and I can't wait to meet all the new attendees and see old friends again.

See you soon Aimee, Angeline, Annie, Donna, Elaine, Elvire, Gunver, Helle, Ine, Inge, Jean, Jeanette, Jen, Judith, Karine, Kendall, Kirsten, Lisa, Marie, Martina, Willemijn, Yvon and all the lovely folks from Chambres d'Amis!

One thing is sure; we have put together a great program for you all, to show you Marrakech in an alternative, surprising and authentic way.

October is slowly coming closer and I'm counting down the days of September.

Two weeks from now, we will start with the 6th edition of the Cool Crochet Workshop in Marrakech. Around this time we officially start with a welcome dinner on the rooftop terrace of riad Chambres d'Amis.

At the moment I'm working on new projects to make during our travels in and around Marrakech.

Twelve women from around the world will join the October workshop. Among them, there are four 'crocheteers' that already joined the workshop before, which I consider as a compliment!

Last April we did a stool-cover project for a small moroccan stool (think suitcase size) and everyone was so excited when we showed all the tiny little stools.

So big chance, we will repeat this project!

101 nights...

Chatting and making 2015-plans over coffee.
