We had a fun visit this week with our wonderful Fairy Goddaughter, the very best Goddaughter since once upon a time! We had a delightful conversation about books and she gave us this one by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
It’s a delightful cheerful sort of poetry book. A restorative way to begin and end a day. What a beautiful gift and even better is having a wonderful Goddaughter to share life and books with!!! 💙💚
Also this week some bunny made a Mysterious Mural – https://sueclancy.substack.com/p/mysterious-mural-2 It’s a small 16 page artistbook story about the creative process that I made using fountain pens and gouache on one sheet of handmade paper for the encouragement in it. Details at the link above.
Below is a video flip-through. An even more detailed look is on my email newsletter.
This week has been extremely busy – except for the leisurely visit with our Goddaughter – and I wrote some about my too-busy feeling on my email newsletter here …
… here’s one of several of my projects in too-busy-for-words progress…
… and here’s a look at my corner of the breakfast nook with my fountain pens, my sketchbooks and other in progress artist books. But enough about my projects …
…. because I’ve promised myself time to relax and just notice stuff…
Enough now – I’m going to put my phone away and let my mind wander and rest and read… Gnight.
See you next Monday.
Have a good mind-wander! Gnight!
Thank you so much!!! 😘 Gnight!
You’re welcome, Sue!
You are always so busy and productive. Even your relaxing down-time is filled with consuming new ideas and learning.
It soothes my mind to have stretches of time to mentally explore. I find it stressful to have time chopped up continually. As you know I have a “short bursts” strategy for dealing with that inevitable condition of modern life so I find it refreshing to carve out a time for “running around loose” i.e. unstructured playtime in the Montessori sense of pursuit of a curiosity. ❤
You have been a great role model and inspiration to me in that regard.
Aww you’re so kind – thank you!
You always share the best books and creative artwork!
Awwww thank you!!! I’m delighted you like what I share!!!! ❤
Your Mysterious Mural is amazing!
Aww thank you so much!!! 😊
