After
taking what, to me, seemed like an age setting up a blog I could actually
navigate round (once I’d figured out what to do), it seems I’ve been rather...
absent. I was going to say negligent, but I figure a blog is something that
doesn’t really need looking after, it just sits there, like my black cat, Ted,
waiting patiently in the hope that you might wander over to the fridge and
remove the cheese.
It’s
not that I haven’t been busy.... OR creative... perhaps a little too much of
burning the late night candle (and I do SO want to get on with my Paulo Coelho
book without the pages rapidly blurring), I guess, like all things, I wait for
inspiration to strike. Actually, currently, I have rather too many things on
the go. Maybe that’s not just a current thing. I have 2 paintings on the go...
go being the operative word - both could go in several different directions,
although I do have a general plan (though we all know what happens with plans)
- having recently got back into painting I realise there are a few canvasses
calling my name... but I really should also get on with the papermâché projects
I started. I’m sort of sitting here typing this while waiting for the
postman... although even I realise that’s an excuse as the postman round here
has a big hill to negotiate and usually doesn’t get to us till early afternoon
- I might have at least another hour and a half to wait yet... but you know how
it is when you’re excited about something.... he might, MIGHT just have a
little package for me containing gold leaf! He might not, of course, there’s
always that chance – but half the fun of Christmas is Christmas Eve. I’ve not
used gold leaf before... not sure why, maybe because I’ve been parenting for over
30 years and one of the children has always needed something - can’t very well
answer the “what’s for tea?” question with “gold leaf on toast...?”
There’s
also a series of cards I want to make – an idea I've
Oh,
and just to let you know, the postman’s just been... with my gold leaf... so I’m
off to find a squirrel to gild...
