pia jane bijkerk The humid air and persistent drizzle last Saturday (actually the Saturday before last… it’s taken me quite some time to compose this post) did not deter us from having an intimate garden party to celebrate Laly’s second birthday. I have not hosted a party since we lived on the houseboat in Amsterdam, so I was feeling a bit daunted about the idea and wondered if I could do it without getting completely overwhelmed and stressed (the main reason why I don’t host parties – dinner ones or otherwise). I worked hard for the two weeks leading up to the event to be really present with my time and to let things go if they weren’t working out the way I intended, or if things happened that stopped me from being able to create exactly what I had envisioned. My intention was to try my best to have fun with each part of the process – painting the bunting, gathering the flora, cooking, setting up… I still got stressed, and we still had a family meltdown the day of the party. Stunner. Laly and her papa.
U N I F O R M Studio journal Tuesday, January 12th, 2010 mwmWORKBOOK Hello, and Happy New Year! I have a new site, mwmWORKBOOK, which is meant to be just that - a workbook of sorts. Thank you again for your words and friendship and taking the time to stop by here these past 3 years. Note: I intend to leave U N journal up for a period of time but I’ll let you know if I move or remove it. Tuesday, December 15th, 2009 wrapping it up Thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway. “Architecture is a social act and the material theater of human activity.” Dear Friends, It’s almost the end of the year again. In architecture you are never really done with a project. I have come to that point with this journal. To me this space has come to feel a little bit like an architectural space - a social act. I’m still thinking about what the next context will be, and wondering what new constraints and forces will arise. Wishing you all much happiness and peace in the new year, Martha Wednesday, December 9th, 2009 pay it forward giveaway
