New Site , New Blog !

Hello ! I have a new website and blog at http://www.kirstenbeets.com/ come and visit.

Absence and hearts

I have been enjoying the glorious glories of the once mighty Venice for the past month. Be back to Cape town soon, but not too soon. see you then.



The Lotus

"The lotus fruits and flowers were the primary food of the island and were narcotic, causing the people to sleep in peaceful apathy."

Red and green

The bunny could be wound up and (in ideal circumstances) would unsteadily push its wheelbarrow. I say unsteadily because it would often fall over and  start flailing around in a rather disturbing manner. The forest family hedgehog didn't do anything special besides look fabulous in its polka dot dress.

Small beginnings

We all start small, even the elephant in the room :)

Spring leaves...

...and an exercise in patience.

Sun-kissed

Put your pinkies in the air like you just don't care.

Tulips and other secrets

Stop me if you know this already, but I just discovered inside purple tulips is a bright blue pattern, like a little secret message. Obviously I need to look closer at the things around me. 

For Julia

I have too many of these plastic creatures, way more than is socially acceptable for an adult. I keep thinking I'll pass them on to children of friends and family , but I know in my heart I'll be that crazy old lady surrounded by jam jars full of useless things. I'm actually surprisingly okay with that.

I just can't help myself

I seem to have come across all spring feverish.
