About this blog

50-something introvert with a gazillion creative interests and trying to work on all or most some of them in between chronic health issues.

I enjoy connecting and sharing about most any subjects really – I’m addicted to learning new things. As the blog grows, subjects evolve, are added, and others slide into the background for a while.

In the beginning there was plant dyeing along with some knitting and spinning. I enjoy painting, photography, and photo editing, if pictures and colour are involved, I’m hooked. I’ve been teaching myself about weaving. With making fabric comes improving my sewing skills, and on the bucket list is among other things bookbinding. And so it goes, skipping along, sometimes going round in circles.

It appears that working with my hands is necessary to keep my imagination and my brain alive. Amazing discovery. I may talk about such things too once in a while.

We live in the country, in a small house in a windtunnel surrounded by nothing but fields. Can’t imagine living in a place where I can’t see the horizon! Unless it’s a forest, which would make me very happy too. A selection of animal friends also occupy the premises, often competing with a pile of books for my attention.

All images are my original work unless otherwise stated. Please do not use or copy them without asking, as well as crediting and providing a link to my blog. Pinning is fine too under those conditions. Thank you!

What I don’t blog about

På dansk

Farvehytten (<- nu med dansk blog!) var en titel min mand fandt på da jeg havde ledt og ledt efter et domænenavn som ikke allerede var optaget. Og det passer meget godt, vi bor i en lille knaldhytte på landet og jeg tænker stort set ikke på andet end farver, jeg spinder, farver garn, strikker, væver, maler, fotograferer, nyder naturen.

Men man kan også gå og tulle for meget rundt for sig selv har jeg opdaget. Det tog lidt tid, for jeg er rigtig GOD til at underholde mig selv, men inspiration kommer ikke kun indefra, den kommer i høj grad ved at dele med andre og suge alt til sig som verden har at dele. Kommunikation skal der til for ikke at gå i stå. Så jeg håber at lære en masse, få øvet mig i at skrive og danne interessenetværk på tværs af grænser, hvorfor jeg primært skriver på engelsk.

Plantefarvningsemner om sommeren og alt muligt andet om vinteren gætter jeg på.

Jeg elsker når folk giver kommentarer for at få en dialog i gang!
