I thought I'd finished these a few weeks' ago, but have returned to add some warm yellow. Will probably do a little more blending too.

Feeling pressure to get things done, but this morning I returned to 'L'Or de la Terre' by Bernard Clavel. Also reading Dr Tara Swart, who reminds us that this time is not wasted - it is just right for allowing free association of thought = creativity & solutions.

Quand on fait la promenade, c'est les petits mondes feeriques qui me captivent en ce moment.
When we go for our walk, it's these enchanting mini-words that are captivating me...

Not sure what has happened to this tree/bush, maybe just quiet for the winter, but I like the life the #moss has given it.

Je ramasse des couleurs de la campagne pour l'inspiration Contente de voir quelques accents en rouge, et meme cet couleur surnaturel - bleu.
Collecting colours from the countryside for #inspiration. Happy to see accents of red and that supernatural colour - blue.

Learning to sew. Relaxed, meditative #slowstitch seems the way to begin. The long pieces will be bookmarks. Suggestions for the two large pieces? - they're each two pieces of fabric sewn together, basic sashiko, so quite strong - wall art? journal covers? Sth. else?

I'm going to work with some sprigs of rosemary on the table, beside me, today. I often hear that it helps with concentration.

I've listed three pieces of original, framed artwork in my online shop: amandatamsin.fr/collections/...
P.S. This is one of my favourite paths. I once saw two red squirrels here, so close. One rufous and the other black, a variety usually found closer to the Alps.
