This week I read in the Haarlems Dagblad newspaper (of 20 March) that in the Slachthuisbuurt in Haarlem a street will be named after Truus Oversteegen and her sister Freddie. The houses and five new streets (one for Truus & Freddie) along the Schipholweg still have to be built so this street does not exist yet. What an inspiring coincidence that very recently I have had contact with Truus about her watercolour painting 'Leven' (Life) that I bought. 

More than a year ago we started in the community center of this same Slachthuisbuurt (a distance of 200 meters from the future Truus Oversteegenstraat) a mosaic project for Pré Wonen (a housing cooperative). For this project, we decorated various paving tiles with mosaics. This week I started making a mosaic paving tile for the new street.
