moroccan nook

Collecting is no stranger to me...

The precious handmade souvenirs from my beloved Marrakech are gathered on an old tiny table in the kitchen.

The vintage breakbaskets, coasters and a bottle cover and clever candle holder we use daily.

I love the kind of souvenirs, genuine for everyday use and not just decoration.

The items of my Moroccan collection nook are one by one handmade in the medina of Marrakech, with simple materials and the objects are of no great value, but to me they are priceless. They remind me of my travels to Morocco and bring back fond memories.

How i miss the Red city and its lovely people.

his side

Waking up in 2020.

The first thing i often think when i wake up is, i was hoping 'it' was all a bad dream...

I don't get used to this weird year 2020.

We try to make the best of it every day and can only wait and see.
Sometimes I just want to sleep and wake up in 2021 and start all over again with a clean slate.

However it may be, I still enjoy our new bedroom every single day. The room has a inspiring, soothing eclectic atmosphere and infuses me with fresh ideas.

I've got quiet a few comments, that I never showed 'his side of the bed', when we moved into our new bedroom. We both secretly chose our side of the bed.

You know my side of the bed, with the componibili design classic by Kartell and the vintage toucan lamp.

Well finally here some pictures from Henk's side, haha...

He chose a cobalt blue steel round table and a small modern metal table lamp that excels in its simplicity.

All seemingly flow quite nicely together!

The paper storage box is found in Breda and I'm in love with the color and illustration and decided to use it for my 'outfit-prints'.

tuesday blues

Blue gets along quite well with an abundance of other colors. No matter what hue of blue, blue blends fine with other colors.

Therefore I chose two shades of blue for a new crochet project; turquoise and bright blue, an eye-popping duo for a diagonal striped pillow.

color story

Color story of the new bedroom.

And yes, my first painting made it into the bedroom!

Moreover Henk surprised me with a cool Majorelle blue table, on his side of the bed.
As agreed, we both bought 'our side of the bed' part separately.

The room is awesome, things go together so well. We hadn't really planned this in advance, but it worked out well.

fresh font & pure cards

A fresh font and spicy colored cards.

A good way to start this week, new workshop cards and a header update.

When I'm talking about the workshops in Marrakech with interested people, it sometimes is difficult to explain the meaning of woodwoolstool.

I tell them, how it all started years ago; my handmade stools, made of scrap wood and a woolen cover... Well at least it explains the name of my blog, i started in 2009, however 'woodwoolstool' not really covers the Cool Crochet and Green Gardens workshop in Marrakech.

On the other hand, I don't want to change the name, because I like it and a lot of people know me by that name and some even call me; hej woodwoolstool...

I never can hand a card, when someone asks for it, because I always forget to take them with me. So I decided, it's time to change that and designed a new card for the travel workshops in Marrakech.

I picked one of my favorite photos, a typical moroccan iron door with a harlequin, I took last year in Marrakech.

Also my font needed an update and I came across a cool new font! The typography reminded me of handmade moroccan Zelliges tiles and to choose the right pure color was easy... Pure Marrakech!

urban jungle donkey basket

The green donkey basket I found at the local weekly Ourika river market last week.
Actually I bought it for my bike, but soon realized that I do not have a luggage carrier on my bike, haha...
I would definitely find another application, so I decided to buy the basket anyway...
Perhaps as planter in the garden? or wool baskets?
You can not possibly find an even more impractical souvenir to take in your suitcase, but I was facing the challenge and managed to bring it home.

Once at home I knew it right away, it's a plant box! The urban jungle donkey basket.



and the two humorous market merchants from the donkey basket stall (they insisted to have their picture taken)

This week I've been playing with the vintage letters on the kitchen bench and a new word appeared, showing my passion for Arabic food and style.

wednesday vibes

favorite winter fruit

I can easily eat four or five mandarins at one time and I'm not the type to peel off all the white stuff...

Guess I'm having a vitamine C addiction nowadays. My favorites are Maroc mandarins with the black harlequin logo.

wood & wood stool

A new wood & wool wood stool, for a change...

No wool, but simply all kinds of white scrap wood and one slice of blue.
