Here she is at the computer again.... looking at blogs and dreaming about future exploits. The printing by hand book, the painting on crockery, the home schooling for her future offspring, the knitting and sewing which she will one day do on a regular basis. The endless projects she will do at home in her small studio/office.
One day she promises herself she will make her own clothes and her children’s clothes and will have a huge wooden table for doing craft activities and science experiments and cookery with her children. Translation work has to done because you have to pay the rent and buy food and stuff for projects, but this is a good thing, translation is a good retreat also in its own way.
This is the distant plan. The children, the projects, and another thing; a stone house in a village that has been converted into a lovely weekend and summer home for her family. This is a long way off but it is not impossible. Nothing is impossible.
Nearer projects include the Studio: new desk, new chair, new drawers of varying sizes, two shelves for exhibiting pretty things and a mirror for reflection.
Nearer still is the October birthday card dilemma. Everyone is born in October and I need a Bday card solution. I’m thinking animals… collages of animals. Flamingo and Hedgehog… two animals I saw on my trip to Sweden/Denmark.
