Snowless winter

New start with a new blog feature: a monthly mood board to capture the surroundings, ongoing work and favourites of the moment. I'm hoping it will make me go out with the camera more often and notice something new. This is also a kind of investigative experiment to see if such boards actually help to generate new ideas and bring about real projects. And I love playing with colours.
If someone else finds inspiration in these mishmashes, that will be a reward in itself.

Although the first snowflakes have started to fall and this extended autumn is probably coming to an end, January has looked a lot like this so far.

No holidays for kitchen maids

Those old style wooden pegs are well suited for fastening all sorts of half full food sacks. I thought it to be more fun if they looked like real kitchen staff.




After a short training period, I'm sure, I will not be needed in the kitchen at all. The three girls can work out a schedule among themselves, and each gets to be in charge of one meal a day.




And they always work with a smile.




These other type of clothespins come handy, too, to snap smaller bags and packages.
