Sometimes something new has been there all the time, sitting right in front of you. Sun rays have been hitting by balcony. The basil I seeded a couple of weeks ago starts to grow. Time for the big clean up. After a hard days work all is tidied up, but something keeps bothering me. Those cute sixties seats had a hard time during all those German hard winters. Two of them are really worn out. Straight to the trash, it is time for a fresh breeze.
On a lazy afternoon it is Ivo's girlfriend who points out that underneath those filthy fabric there is something new. All it takes is a knife and a pair of scissors to unveil the hidden treasure. Petrol blue mint condition with a couple of holes. It felt good to finally make use of the kit of wool I bought last year at the Dutch Design Week. Punching a needle into cushions for a couple of hours. Graphic stripes and dots are the result. A fresh view, a perfect location to barbeque or to pluck some curves in illustrator for that other project. on a late afternoon. Being the baron at your own balcony.

Just when I was about to gently ask a slightly critical question about the CFX blogs (Does the currently quite fragmentated format of the blogs really work as planned?) a string of new posts on CFX/NL & CFX/Bavaria occur.
Like the patched up seats a lot; a bit of E'hoven in I'stadt.

Hi Matt,
Das ist aber schön.
The chairs. You told about it. I am a believer now. I wonder: stays it sit, or how do I put it?
Bye, bye, and see you or phone you.
