Getting on.


A big hug to every one who left me a kind comment, 
wrote me a lovely email and visited my shop. 
Thank you ever so much for your kindness. 
It means more than I could possibly express. 

I am still working through orders for another week or so. 
Soon I will change lots of things. 
New banner, new logo/branding, ordering supplies
for new projects, new illustrations. 

But first I must clear the attics, empty the garage. 
Paint the landing and stair well. Put down a new
wooden floor in our living room, create a new 
bedroom in one of the attics for my daughter, 
move one of my children to one room, and the other
two children to the bigger room upstairs.

I think I need an action-list, so I can keep myself working
in a specific order. 

Me walking backwards and becoming totally headless is
quite possible.

Who ever would have thought Autumn would be 
the Season of so much change. 

I better get on with it.

  8. I'm right there with you, Sister!
    Why I thought it was a good idea to remodel our kitchen while I tried to write a book I'll never know. And for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to have pictures of my studio in my book ... you know what that means right? Taking EVERYTHING down, dusting, rearranging, de-stashing so it's not a clutter of piles ... on and on and on.

    I hope everything is WONDERFUL with you! I typed the last of my manuscript today, and in 1 more month I will have a life and time for mailart again!

    miss you like crazy - everyone is so big and adorable :)

  13. REUZE BENIEUWD naar hoe dit allemaal gaat uitpakken . Ik wilde "maar" één kamer gaan doen in de zomervakantie . Toen het zomervakantie was wist ik niet hoe snel ik het weer moest afkappen . Ik overzag het opeens helemaal niet meer . Wel besloten dat ik eerst een planning ga maken en HULP ga inschakelen .
    Ik wens je alle succes en stap voor stap !
    groetjes

  15. Dearest Lillalotta,

    I have to ask about the gorgeous black and white striped socks that are in the picture you have on the top of your blog. What is their story, where do they come from and did you possibly make them yourself? I love to come to your blog and see them, usually I keep staring at them for a while before starting to read your latest posts.

    Best wishes from Iceland,

    Mira
