Even though you may not be a HSP (highly sensitive person - yes we really do exist) it is sometimes good to go back to basics, and not have Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17188960573863396768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3230114346095690400.post-77172740713059503722019-09-05T21:46:00.000+02:002019-09-05T21:46:01.224+02:00#2 2019 Modern Historical SewingI have always been very fond of period dramas, historical novels and times past in general..

Well, writing in general. Mostly for my own sake and to gather research, inspiration and get a kind of overview over my creative work and life. These two are very much connected and very "me".

So things that I had planned to do didn't happen at all (due to illness), and after a while it makes me a bit sad and restless, I haven't been idle all of the time though, I don't seem to do that very well. So here's a few photos of my week(s):

I've been listening to this a bunch of times already.
It's feels so beautiful and profound in both the ears and soul.
Árstíðir is a band from Iceland. Here they are singing the 13th century Icelandic hymn “Heyr himna smiður” at a train station in Wuppertal, Germany.
More about the band here: http://www.arstidir.com, they don't usually sings hymns.<!--3-->

I have many quotes and words of wisdom written down in a bunch of notebooks, and have always liked this one for its meaning of 'enough-ness'. The words I use in my work have certain meaning to me and I am sure that we all read things differently, depending on what we have in our backpacks, hearts and spirits.

I just realised that I should write here about when I have made a treasury at etsy or something, so here is the latest one called 'Darkness only makes (life's) colours all the brighter'. I started with the words, like I usually do, even though they were different from the start. But in the end these are the words that got chosen.
I like the poetry of it. You can click on the image or Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17188960573863396768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3230114346095690400.post-20304679408187903342014-05-08T15:41:00.003+02:002019-09-11T12:45:25.419+02:00Remember this -
