For me, old-fashioned hand-written notes on paper still work best. With ideas and notes in computer files it is often a matter of ‘out of sight is out of mind’. And the actual act of writing things down by hand seems to connect to a different, more creative part of my brain than typing does.
The notebook was a souvenir from France, and the cover is a design by Gaëlle Boissonnard. I adore her work. Her blog can be read here – it gives a lovely insight into her creative process. Google doesn’t do a great job translating her poetic texts, but just looking at her images is inspiring, too.
Feeling frustrated by the slowness of my creative process, I was thinking of the garden. Why can’t my projects flower now, like the hyacinths and all the other spring bulbs? And then I discovered that I just need to be a little more patient, because I’m a sunflower!
You can find out what flower you are by taking this quiz. Have fun!
Och wat leuk die kuikentjes, hierdoor krijg je naast de kleurige bloemen nog meer een lentegevoel!
Ja, zo leuk, en ze groeien hard! Voor mij is de lente nu echt begonnen.
Thank you for this! I am a sunflower too!
The baby chicks are wonderful! I used to hatch them each year that I taught kindergarten. Brings back great memories!
Hello fellow-sunflower, haha. What a wonderful thing to share with your kindergarten kids, baby chicks. Our grandson (1 next week) is coming to visit soon to take a look at them.
De kuikens zijn schattig! En ook een zonnebloem…
Ja, echt schattig, dat kleine grut. En wat grappig, nog een zonnebloem!
