Today we went to play at one of the schools in the area. The one with the schoolyard of my dreams. A lot of trees, stones, and fun places to be. My four years old played, climbed and jumped around while I did something on paper. Today there was one broken window and one of the “bench around tree” things was in pieces. That is not part of my dream.
I did som “chocolate-nuts-and-raisins” things and manage to draw one. It is hard to just look at one and not eat.

I have been quiet for a some time now. The mood is kind of up and down and I try to spend less time with the computer.
We spent easter up north in the snow and now we are back in Linköping and I try to get the days together. Unfortunally I forget to make myself draw something most of the days. When I do get some lines on the paper it is wibbly and I miss the daily exercises. But I do some painting and stuff that I don’t put out here. Things to give away and things to comfort me. I have a hundred things started and that seems to be a little bit too much.
One project I started last week is a journal that I am going to fill with dinners and party memories, food in focus. I have had that idea for a long time, to make a journal with recepies and memories from different occations when we have people over or make something special just for the family. Last week my oldest turned four and now i finally did it!
I bought a simple ruled notebook and glued a flower on the front cover, a painted one. Then I put some fabric around and now I try to do some stiches to get it more like mine. It is a hardcover so I did the holes first. And I tend to rush things nowadays so it is as wibbly as the rest of my lines. But I like it.
This is the flower, the one to the left.
