Holiday is Over.....Almost..


Holiday is almost over..
7 weeks of wearing sandals and shorts...
Tomorrow my working-life starts again...
Waking up at 5.45 and getting back in that routine..

 I am a bit nervous how things will go..
Work combined with the situation at home...
Over the last weeks Bram's condition is going down very fast..
Walking is getting very difficult, which is not very practical in a house with 2 staircases..
So therefor we get a stairlift which will be placed this coming thursday
His energy is very low...and I am afraid that he might fall and break something..
He is very fragile...

 So we get more care from the nurses from Buurtzorg.
Twice a day and maybe more the coming weeks..
We'll see how it will go...

So it feels rather difficult, and different to go back to work this time...

 The coming week will be filled with meetings, writing on a project and tasks..and inbetween that: visits to the hospital on Wednesday and Thursday...and on Friday an excursion to Amsterdam...

 Autumn will arrive soon..
There are signs already in nature...
Melancholic moods...

 Time to knit something warms for the cold days coming soon..

 I frogged my blue sweater again..
Too big...
But cast on again...
This time the size is perfect..
And I keep it more simple than the pattern told...
It will keep me warm and give me comfort in this stage in my life...

    Succes met weer naar het werk gaan.
    En beide heel veel sterkte met het verslechteren van de conditie van Bram. Wat verdrietig en wat zorgelijk. Kan me zo voorstellen dat het naar je werk gaan, heel belastend is, omdat je er dan niet voor hem kunt zijn.

About Dutch Fishermans Ganseys..and a bit More..

In my previous post I promised to write about the just released book about Dutch Fisherman's Ganseys. Written by Stella Ruhe . In Dutch the title is:  Visserstruien uit 40 Nederlandse vissersplaatsen. There is an English translation with the title:  Dutch traditional ganseys. Sweaters from 40 vilages. (I couln't find it on Amazon, but there are some book(web)shops in Holland who also deliver all around the world.) For many years I had on my bookshelve the only book on Dutch Fisherman's ganseys. Written in 1983 by Henriëtte van der Klift-Tellingen. The book is printed in black and white, has many pictures from beautifulganseys in it, and it tells the history behind them. It is a good book, but the new book is better and more interesting. (but more about that book later in this post) I have never made a gansey for myself, but I have always been attracted to them.  Dutch ganseys (and the same is for English one's) tell a history from fishermen

Jean Paul Gaultier ..  My Hero when I studied Fashion at Art College. I remember buying the magazine Marie Claire Bis every season.. And in the where... The most spectaculair Desi gns by him.  This afternoon I found a map full of photo's with his designs from the time I studied Fashion Design. Combinations no one ever dreamed off.. Chiffon and lace Aprons... Old Models... Amazing adverts.. Guess he was -and still is- a big inspiration for Fashion students.. I remember that we had to make an illustration with silk paper and I used one of his designs. I have always kept it. At the moment De Kunsthal in Rotterdam shows the exhibition:  The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk I went yesterday.. I had doubts ofcourse because Bram is so weak.. But the nurses told me to go.. Neighbours took care.. Jochum came and stayed the whole afternoon.. And I could take a break from a few hours,. and breath... I was a bit nervous when I
