One of my favorite side quests lately has been taking my Museum Pass and Swiss Art by Katrin Gygax , published by Helvetiq , and letting them decide where I go next.

This time, they sent me to Lausanne.

I spent hours between Photo Elysée .elysee and mudac and was completely surprised by the work of Ella Maillart.

I knew the name.

I didn’t know the scale of what she had done.

The photographs.

The travels.

The curiosity.

The way she documented people, places, and moments that are now part of history.

I left feeling inspired, a little humbled, and with far too many tabs open in my brain.😅🫣

And yes, I may have left with a few creative ideas of my own.🙌

They’re still marinating.

We’ll see what they become. ✨

Have you read one of her books?

If yes, which one would you recommend starting with?

Some ideas need distance.
Some need to come closer.

I thought having an atelier outside my home would make me create more.

But working full-time taught me something else:
sometimes the kindest way to keep going
is to make the dream easier to reach.

So I let that version go.
And made a small embroidery room at home instead.

Messier.
Smaller.
More honest.

The first page in my tiny embroidery diary became one word,
in three languages:

Libre.
Vogelfrei.
Free as a bird.

And the more I stitched it,
the more I realized:

I don’t know if I’ve ever felt truly free.

I’ve known how to leave.
How to start again.
How to dream of somewhere else.

But freedom?
Maybe I’m still learning what that means.

So this little diary begins here.
With one bird.
One red thread.
And a question I can’t stop asking:

What would it mean to feel free, for real?

P.S. This little embroidery diary started through the microdoses that shares on Instagram. This is my first page from it. 🖤

Second embroidery stitched onto my bookish sweater —
a donut with a crown
for Princess Donut from Dungeon Crawler Carl.

I’ve been listening to the audiobook over the past few weeks: on walks, during gym sessions, even while lifting weights. (It’s so fun, I kept laughing out loud. Got some looks. Worth it.)

This week felt… steady.
No big revelations.
Just small things I enjoyed doing.
Reading. Moving. Stitching something soft
into the fabric of a very full world.

And maybe this is what balance looks like:
a week that was calm, a little boring.

Just space to read, move, stitch, breathe.

With everything happening in the world,
maybe boring is a kind of safety.
And safety is its own kind of joy.

Now I just need to read more books
to fill this sweater with symbols.

Do you have a book that left a mark on you lately?
I’m always looking for the next story to stitch into my sweater. 🧵🪡

One of my small side quests this year:
Saturday mornings at a museum.
Alone or with a friend.
Just to see what art stirs up.

Living in Basel means there’s always something new.
And this one — the “Ghosts” exhibition was worth the wait.

I fell in love with ’s work.
Her soft little ghosts painted over old photos,
something about it made grief feel less heavy.
I even brought a few prints home
and now I can’t wait to thrift some photos
and try painting ghosts of my own.

Not to erase the past,
but to see it differently.

And yes, I would’ve gone anyway
but if you visit museums often,
the Swiss Museum Pass is worth checking out.

Have you seen this exhibition yet?
Or ever tried turning your own ghosts into something beautiful?

This is painting number four.
And honestly — I almost didn’t make it.

I didn’t feel progress.
I didn’t feel inspired.
I just felt… doubt.

Like maybe none of it was working.
Like maybe I was just pretending to change.

Even filming this felt hard.
But I stayed with it.
And maybe that’s the part that matters most.

Maybe this is what change actually looks like:
Not the moment you feel different —
but the moment you keep going
even when you don’t.

Sometimes I think doubt is just a softer name
for fear.
Fear of who I might become
if I really let myself try.

But I’m here.
Still painting.
Still showing up.
Even when I don’t believe in the progress yet.

And maybe that’s a kind of progress too.

I didn’t expect painting to feel this emotional.
But something about sitting with a blank page,
letting color slowly take shape,
makes space for things I didn’t know I was carrying.

This is my third painting from a little workbook I bought.
Nothing fancy.
Just small steps toward something that feels like mine.

I’m not trying to become an aquarell expert.
I’m just learning how to enjoy the quiet of creating.
Letting my weekends and evenings fill
with something gentle. Something that stays.

And maybe — without meaning to —
this is becoming part of the answer.
To how I begin again.
To how I belong.
