  • Welcome

    My name is Patricia. Travelling, painting flat tin figures and urban sketching are three of my hobbies. And that’s exactly what this website is about.

  • And now for something completely different

    One reason why I like travelling and sketching is that it gives me plenty of time to listen to music. Part of my collection was used as data material for the test phase of a new project. If you have ever asked yourself what I am listening while I am waiting for the next train or swinging the brush, the answer is here.

    On the 4th Sunday in Advent, a special elf is stop On the 4th Sunday in Advent, a special elf is stopping by. We met him in Drøbak (Norway) a few years ago and he decided to come home with us. Maybe he - like me - often longs for Norway, but he is never bored because he has many elf friends here.

    Even Corona could not prevent it: today is the 1st Even Corona could not prevent it: today is the 1st Advent. With everything closed this year it really couldbe the quietest time of the year - especially because I have already bought all presents. However, I have delegated a few tasks, such as baking the cookies, to the hard-working Christmas elves. Where would we be without these tireless little helpers. Therefore, this year's Advent is all about the elves.
