happy red

*

*

it all started with a wish

my wish 

to have my wall in my bedroom

R E D 

inspired 

by the image above

*

to do something

really DO it 

by myself

from start to finish

for myself 

is what I am not good at ...

for sommeone else , no problem

for myself ..............

the plan 

it started with knowing

I have to  have a plan

with a beginning ....

 a middle and 

an end .

than I visited someone

who suffers from depressions

and I saw how her life was

and all the possibilities she has

but was  not able to use

and I realised

I had to take my own first step 

make my own plan

so

when I got home

I started by finding inspiring

images on my pinterest board

and the one above

is my color-inspiration

than

I saw this

someone 

offered these for sale

on facebook 

all in one sale 

and

I knew 

I had to have them

I immediately had an idea

how to use them

on my red wall 

 my project was born

when I reacted on facebook 

I could have them and

it turned out 

it was only 5 minutes from my house !

I never do something like this 

react on such a thing

and going to get them MYSELF 

so 

for me

it was a HUGE step .

next step is going to the store

and have my own RED colour mixed.

it has to be a warm red 

with a kind of orange touch 

so I am thinking of

 having some orange too

 and decide by myself

 to use that across eachother 

Now you know I am NOT a handyman !

I have this idea

for "my" frames to collect things

I love and put them in the frames 

as .... pictures

but also words or sentences

objects 

well I better show you 

when it's done .

the colours will be 

red*orange*pink*bit yellow

and G O L D .

today I saw for the first time 

work from an Italian artist 

named Arianna Caroli 

it was a You Tube movie

and I LOVED IT .

I do not know how to show it

overhere so I just let you know 

how it is called 

and you can maybe see for yourself

the magic of circles

let us be grateful

to people who make us HAPPY

gardeners 

who make our SOULS blossom .

when I was young

I loved to read and

I loved to draw

I loved PAPER and it's magic

when nothing was there and

everything was possible.

being a child there was a  while

when I believed

all was possible

because there were not yet 

experiences of "making mistakes"

when children make drawings

most people will love the drawings and

give complements 

and are grateful .

there is something magical

in the drawings of young children

something with the colors they use

the space they use on the paper

when I was young I had crayons

and that was it .

I always always draw HOUSES

I loved to make houses .

first houses without walls 

where you could see the inside

than closed houses with friendly windows

and always a door with an opening

for the mail !

and later I draw my own blueprints

and floorplans .

always imagening the house .....

when I got older 

very soon we had to learn to adjust 

to draw how the teacher told us to do .

in my time there was NO room for 

creativity in drawing at school .

it was all 

class-teaching and there was no room

for individuals

to servive it was best to fit in

to fit in and be good , better , best .

that's how it was .

I stopped drawing .

when I became a kindergarten teacher 

I loved the drawings all over again 

and than I came into contact with

WALDORF-education 

waldorf-school

and knew this would be my 'home'.

*

I started this post about

people who make you happy .

I guess for me it's been about children

they make me happy 

the children in my classes

my own four children

and 

now 

there is my grandchild ......

and

of course I found

wonderful people on my way

who made and make me happy

charming gardeners 

who make my soul happy.

it's not easy to find the words

to describe where I am in my life

but 

let's say 

I know about the house

and it's time to work the garden
