woyww - comments

Hi there - comments below if you wish, and for this weeks supplementary:  A thing I drew years ago as mail art for the Collabor-art group - It was released as a stamp by Jennie at the Artistic Stamper...

I use the stamp loads, often masking off the words...or just using the face...

woyww? and a supplimentary

Supplementary blah blah blahs:

this time last year we didn't have a roof, now I have a desk and everything... after 6 months without, the best thing was getting a water supply, after that when Mr G put in the temporary boiler and indoor shower - Yeah Mamma -  I still do not take that hot morning shower for granted, nor the potable water that flows from our tap...

My desk which can be found HERE and has upon it the boxes that the crochets came in - roofing crochets hold on the slates and give french slated roofs their distinctive pattern, as opposed to english roofs that use roof nails.....

We are doing all the renovations ourselves so it is taking longer than we thought, however, I take enormous pride in our achievements so far...

WOYWW - it's certainly different...

Just an observation:   I have a rule I follow that I won't start doing what I want to do before the housework is done.  

I like things clean and tidy even though we don't yet live in a conventional building, but I actually detest repetitive tasks, so housework is a real problem for me.

However, the vile tasks seem to get done very efficiently when I have my desk and more attractive work on offer, so I guess having my art space in the same building and in sight of the living space kind of works for me.

Because each stage of our renovations take a long time, it allows that breathing space to really reflect upon what our spaces are used for and how we want them to merge together or be physically very separated.  I am certainly now a huge fan of huge, one floor open place spaces - except when we have guests!  

I suspect everything after the barn living space is going to feel small...
