I keep my blog as a personal record of what I'm up to, which might be seen as working towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life"

I'm certainly not there yet.  There is quite some way to go!

No safety net needed

Yesterday, I cut 32 pieces of paper, got out a few colours, the mod podge, the gesso and a big brush.  I spent a slap-happy couple of hours not really thinking about what I was doing, trying not to be too neat and tidy but just going for it and hoping for the best.

I tried not to be too precious, but of course, a few favourites appeared.

In just a couple of hours, a long row of pages were laid out on the floor to dry overnight.  Some need a bit more of a tweak, others are ripe enough and ready to become the pages of my Learn Something New Every Day journal.

It felt good to stand back and admire an afternoon’s work.  I used the panorama function on my camera to record the whole lot and giggled to myself when I saw a few pairs of feet: Memories of those old school photographs when some little oik would run around the back and get himself into the photo twice!
