Charlemagne is credited with saying that learning another language gives you another soul.

It gives access to other swearwords, too.

I've just discovered, while mounting it, that Loading The Felucca is no longer visibly signed.

My emotions are best expressed, as someone once said, by a string of symbols from the top row of the keyboard!

I may be getting to grips with curved needles, but the angle I'm having to lean over my work is Not Good for my back. This piece of mounting is not going to be a "one and done".

But it is going to look good, so there's that..

„Put your past behind before you can move on”

I've ran for 5 years and 7 days with my . I'm pretty tired and I think I'll go back to not counting the days and not having to carry it ALWAYS so I can never run freely and play with kids whenever it's a good moment cause there's this bag hanging on me with the watercolor set and sketchbook inside that I need to be careful about it.

Round of applause please as I have one of my square pebble paintings up with just over a fortnight to go until North East Open Studios*. That's the edges painted, painting varnished, frame pieces put together, painting panel screwed into frame, wire added, hanging hooks moved, painting hung, skewness of hanging adjusted if not resolved, then sitting back to admire it.

*There's a website and app. Aberdeenshire, Scotland

Accidents happen, and become social media photos 😱😁🌈 Dropped the little bottle of watercolour when out painting this morning; it hit a pebble in the grass and didn't live happily ever after

I've just had a second redesign for the eventual Golden Fleece embroidery stroll into my head.
Dammit, wait your turn!

Sometimes I get distracted from pebbles by patterns in the sand 😀

I optimistically bought "The Romance of Rahere and Other Poems" by Edward Hardingham, thinking it might at least give me atmosphere or something for my , and it turned out to be a Civil War era romance about a girl named Rahere, in honour of the prior. She dies, leaving her young man distraught.
So, really, really not helpful!

I had a bright idea for the next-project-but-three while I was walking up to my exercise class. I wish I had more time to work on all these ideas!

Well, now. House painters back, bringing the Friendliest Dog In All The World, (good), but quite a bit of sanding to do, so I'm reluctant to get out any of the embroidery I need to mount for display (bad).

Psst. It is not a competition.

If you learn to create for you, without comparing it to anyone else, you're going to find so much more joy in your creation.

There's no race. There is only making the next new thing.

It will never be the "right" time. The ducks won't all line up for you. You'll never have the perfect time/money/energy combination.

So when IS the right time to create?

When. You. Choose.

Creative, the right time is NOW.

Early morning on the river Thion,
Showed this to our teacher, and she said "oh, that's lovely, don't change a thing!"
So I won't!

It's okay to take a break.

Learning the difference between "I don't feel like it" and "I need rest" is a crucial part of self-care.
