Beyond Fabric
Sometimes, Mary needs to rest. And what do I do?
Two years ago I decided to paint the place I visited while on my holidays. I am currently aiming at 2, max 3 paintings for each destination, so 2/3 paintings per year. Consequently, I am not expecting this section to grow too much!
For each painting, I do 2/3 hours session each time and, at the end of the session, I take a picture: so I can see how the painting progressed. I don't feel like I am a great artist and I need to focus a lot when I paint, but I do enjoy doing them and remembering the place I have been to, and how I felt when I was there.
The cross-stichts I have made over the years...
My first website! During the 2020 pandemic, I tried to set up a business for selling handmade candles.
I had one issue after another, but I had a lot of fun and I did learn a lot: on candles, on essential oils, on website creation.
My project ended with the realisation that my candles were too cute to be burned, therefore fairly useless as candles. However, the website still exists and while it's still working, let's not forget about it: https://littlebigcandle.wordpress.com/
