Wednesday walk at the Veluwe.

The Veluwe is a forest-rich ridge of hills in the province of Gelderland in the Netherlands. The Veluwe features many different landscapes, including woodland, heath, some small lakes and Europe's largest sand drifts.

I was born on the Veluwe and lived there until I was four years old.

wood & wool midi skirt pattern

A feminine midi skirt for fall and winter!

Besides the Dutch pattern, the wood & wool midi skirt pattern is now also available in ENGLISH.

In 2008 I designed a striped midi skirt. The skirt was almost as popular as the star boots...
Last week I made a new woolen skirt in grey. It's warm and very comfortable to wear.

A few balls of wool, a hook and a couple of 'crochet days' is all you need to make the midi skirt. It's a fun fall fashion project!


PS: for all Dutch readers. Het patroon is ook verkrijgbaar in het Nederlands ;)

indian summer

a walk in the woods
sunshine
signs of autumn everywhere
lakes where it is forbidden to swim or swim naked
in short:
Indian Summer

(l'été indien by Joe Dassin used to be my favorite childhood swoon ballad of the album 'vive la france')
