I’m waiting for the blurriness to wear off. I suspect it may take a day or two. Once I’m feeling more focused, there will be more here to see.

Promise.

Dealing with missing socks and empty closets makes Franka very, very tired (as you can see).

Shhhh!

Don’t tell her that she will be making a trans-Atlantic flight on Monday! That would only ruin her naps between now and then.

Time is ticking quite quickly here in Portland, Oregon. It won’t be long now and we’ll be soaring overhead in a jet plane on our way to Switzerland.

That means that I’m one day closer to being close to Teuscher. And that’s a very good thing indeed!

The posts might be slightly erratic around here for the next week or so. There simply aren’t enough hours in the day and not enough coffee and chocolate to get through my whole to-do list…

Wish me luck!

Soaking up just a little bit more of Portland before we fly away to Zürich. One week now…

Goodbye dear hair. Sorry but I won’t be missing you.

Thank you to everyone who came to Alma Chocolate last night! I had a most amazing time!

You folks are really, truly amazing! Thank you!

By the way, the Alma frozen drinking chocolate is heavenly, heavenly, heavenly!

My jittery nerves couldn’t have survived the party without it!

I am very much looking forward to seeing some of you this evening at the delightful Alma Chocolate shop!

Beginning sometime after 5 and ending sometime after 7.

Chocolate, wine and friends on a Friday…what more could a girl ask for???

Remember my little lady who was working on transforming herself into a screenprint?

Well, here she is. She’s a 6-color print. There’s a alot about my current life in this print. The tangled wool, the Swiss cheese clouds and the two hands trying to embrace it all. Should you wish to make one of these little ladies your own, have a look here.

Inspiration today: Alexandra’s discovery in her son’s painting. A sweet collaborative work indeed.

Music today: Unravel also a surprising collaboration – two very, very powerful & creative ladies.

I’ve been tagged by the lovely Alice of  Which way did he go?
