Never on time / Nunca en tiempo!

It's like my new sport. I wake up very early to start doing the most unpractical things on that moment of the day...until I look the watch and have to jump on my bicycle to arrive on time at the school where I am teaching. My way of having a diet may'be?

Zumba-hour / Hora de Zumba

I love to dance it, to move and forget one hour the flying days...It's my hour!

Me encanta bailar Zumba, mover y olvidar una hora la vida de todo los dias...Es mi hora!

2012 ?

One week ago we wanted to taste some Hollywood-garbage :), so we went to '2012'. I had a pleasant night watching this 'comedy'. Although there were some surrealistic moments in it that I still cannot forget...like this poor animal that 'humans' go transporting to the 'ark' to rescue most species of our dear planet...Imagine...
For me this is by far the most spectacular image of this too long movie!

Into Christmas-mood

Wanted to start making a Christmass-card and finished with this one. Still not what I want but the idea is growing...

Estaba intentando hacer una tarjeta para Navidad y obtuve este resultado, todavía no es lo que quería lograr pero la idea esta creciendo....

Mondaymorning-shower /

Waking up in a hurry, press the button for a cup of coffee while opening the shower and brushing my hair. Ready to fly into another new week...may'be colder then the last one, ready to stress...but I'm still sleeping .

Despertarse muy rapido, encender la cafetera mientras abro la llave de la ducha y seco mi cabello. Lista para una semana más... seguramente mas fria que la semana pasada, Lista para estresarme... y sigo durmiendo todavía.

Stormy weather / Entangled

She looks very sad but inside she is enjoying the horrible weather... . I really enjoyed drawing this one while the winds outside are yelling and knocking the walls of our house...so warm inside with a good music in the background!

Ella parece muy triste pero por dentro está disfrutando este clima horrible. He disfrutado hacer este dibujo mientras que el viento afuera me atormenta golpeando contra los muros de la casa... Dentro de la casa es muy caliente con una musica de fondo!

Music

Just came home with my first cd of Norah Jones. Her new album 'Fall'...with the marvellous song on it : Chasing Pirates...the beats making my mind racing also! Lovely!!!

He llegado a la casa recien con el nuevo cd de Norah Jones. Se llama 'Fall' / Otoño y me encanta la cancion ' Chasing Pirates' ...que me vuelvo loca de escucharla ...Magnifico!!!

Somewhere in the south on a weekend-vacation in our guestroom (home at Stein and Katleen, very nice for a short-stay!)...late in the evening...drawing
I love to draw in bed...inspiration is coming easily and it's always warm enough...

For a little girl / Para una niñita

Before the big summer I tried for the first time to make some drawing with different textiles on a little baby-shirt. This is my second try. I really like to do it although I'm not a marvellous stiching wonder...I love to do this and the little girl of 1 year for who I made it was crazy of it!

I wrote 42 names on red little papers and doubled them twice, bought a box for cookies and travelled to my little niece Liese.

To blow out or not to blow out?


Is it necessary to blow out that last candle, she is thinking ;), that will mean 'becoming very old'. It's only one day of difference and in one second my age will change. Oh yes, she will blow out! I'm sure of it!

Tengo que apagar esta velita, esta pensando la gatita. Eso significa ' volverte más vieja'. Es no mas un dia de differencia y en un segundo mi edad sube! Pero si! Seguro ella va a apagar su velita! Por que no!

Coloured forests / Bosques coloreados

As you can see in my drawing...we enjoyed our trip very much and we revived again! Coloured forests in all kinds of reds, oranges, yellows and greens we're passing in front of us. I hardly never draw cars, and look this one :)! Polski Fiat or Mini Cooper...doesn't matter, nice car beneath the lovely trees!
Como pueden ver en mi dibujo... hemos disfrutado mucho de nuestro viajecito y hemos recargado baterias otra vez! bosques coloreados en diferentes tonos de rojo, naranja, amarillo y verde ante nuestra vista. Casi nunca dibujo un auto y mira ahora :)! Polski Fiat o Mini Cooper ... no imorta, es un autito bonito bajo los maravillosos árboles

The taste of weekend / El sabor de un fin de semana

I'm off for this weekend...relaxing, walking and enjoying little Belgian nature! Nice weekend and see you all back next week!

Tomo una vaccacion bien chiquito para relajar, caminar y disfrutar la naturaleza Belga! Bonita fin de semana a todos y hasta la proxima semana!

Dreaming of mountains / Soñando de las montañas

I started again very impulsively and it seems that my inner-kathy likes girls who are watching to high above or looking like dreaming for hours. These one also is already dreaming of a little weekend-trip to the south of our country...there where the hills look like mountains :).
One day of workshops more and then finally time for a little vacation!

Skinny bird


Without thinking of a skinny dreaming girl I drawed this one...she is looking the way I'm feeling...absent, although I enjoyed drawing her birdy dress ;)

ONE YEAR / UN AÑO !!!!!

It' s unbelievable...my blog exists one year and I totally forgot that anniversary while being very busy this week. I promised to draw every day one drawing and I know very well that it wasn't always possible to do so...anyway, I feel that I'm exploring much more of myself by this way and I'm really enjoying it also.
Time is going so fast, live is running so hard and all we try to live this life so good! I want to thank you all who loves my drawings and all those peoples I met in the last year by this blog so next tuesday, on my own 30th-oh-no-my-god-I-want-to-stay-little-girl-Birthday :), I will organize some giveaway on this blog.

Hope by that way we can celebrate all together no matter how far we live from eachother...a lot of bubbles and glasses and nice drawings of course. Hope to see you next week over here to participate and to win an ' El dibujo del gato - drawing'!!!

Thank you so much for all the support and wishes and nice words trough this year, that give me the power to draw 'almost' every day and to share it with many other wonderful souls!

Love, Kathy
p.s : Yep, and so this is me for everyone who still didn't knew the girl behind the 'cat' ;), I greet you very honestly and just can say : THANK YOU!
VIVA EL DIBUJO DEL GATO!

Moonhouse / Casa de la luna

Before yesterday, when I came home from working...saw a cloud like this above our little house, embracing the moon...very nice feeling it gave me!

Anteayer cuando llegaba a mi casa, una nube estaba abrazando a la luna...era un momento múy especial.

Drawing into new light

Just bought new lights for our living room and I wanted to draw my 'moonhouse' (above) on this table. The coloured textile beneath the plants I brought with me from Cajamarca (Peru) and I am so in love with it...Dreaming to draw one day in that beautiful city on 'my' own table in our 'own' house...the moonhouse :)

Goodbye / Adios

Another friend I didn't saw for long time returned for two months from Australia to visit her family. We found each other again and today she will return to her home on the other side of the world. With this drawing I want to thank her for those short evenings we spend together and I want to wish her a save journey back! Never again we will loose the contact! Thanks friend!

Rest my friend / Descansa mi amiga


Last night an old schoolfriend of me passed away after her battle with cancer. We dreamed together of the future many years ago, went our way in this life and just on the moment when we made contact again after so many time her body couldn't resist the struggle anymore.
She will shine for her little son and family from high above...take care my friend, we will miss you!

Ayer una amiga de la primaria ha dejado la vida despues de su batailla contra el cancer. Hace años soñabamos con el futuro, hemos eligido nuestro camino en esta vida y justo en el momento de encontrarnos por el camino digital su cuerpo ha decidido que no podria luchar mas contra esta fuerza. Ella va a brillar para su hijito y su familia desde muy alto...cuidate mucho mi amiga, te vamos a extrañar!

A cup of... / Una tasa de...

Saw this marvellous set in a shop. They are so small, meaned as toys for a child but made from real porcelain...incredible, have to buy them immediatly for a special girl!

He visto en una tienda estas cositas. Son bien chiquititos pero hecho de porcelana. Es como jueguete para niños! Tengo que ir a comprarlos para una niña especial!

Bananas in wintertime / Platanos en el invierno


If I want bananas one day of my little banana-tree then I have to protect him for the coming cold nights. The night before the first ice flew into the garden...banana-tree is ready to survive now!!!

Si quiero comer un dia platanos de mi arbol, entonces tengo que proteger fuerte la planta del frio. La noche pasado teniamos hielo en el jardin! Ahora mi platano esta listo para sobrevivir!!!

Frozen / Congelado


The moon and the tree, closer together the night doesn't feel that frozen!

La luna y el arbol, más cerca ambos la noche no parece tan congelada!

Shaun Tan : The arrival / La llegada

One page out of The arrival / 'De aankomst' in Flemish-language

One week ago we bought this marvellous book. As my husband himself immigrated also, this book suits him perfectly. It's a story about immigration and all kind of feelings that come with it...but all these things dropped in a surrealistic salsa...very very special!
A must for drawing-souls.
To know more about the artist Shaun Tan, go to his site and enjoy!

Impossibility arrived!

My very close Serbian blog-friend Snezana Kragulj send me a drawing of her al the way from Italy!
It's part of an exchange between me and her...I let her choose a drawing of me she liked and otherwise. I'm so happy with the very nice print and I will give him a unique place in my little house! Thank you sooo much my dear Snezana!

For anybody who wants to know more of her work, click the image and take part on her giveaway to celebrate the opening of the Etsy Shop of Snezana. Only some days are resting to participate! Choose your favourite drawing, post a comment on Katy and the cat.... and may'be you will get a signed drawing out from her Etsy shop!
Good Luck!

Flying / Volar


Days are getting darker, leaves are flying and also these seeds of the Sycamore Maple-tree...they inspired me to draw this little girl that will iluminate our dark evenings.
