If you have that red one with the pretty LE graphics on the front, then I think you should call her Beauty, not Beast. ;-)<br /><br />Now I want to see if I can draw MY Bernina...

I also keep all my workbooks (which are essentially my to do / done lists plus daily jottings, phone messages etc. They are the minutiae of my life which is very ordinary, but the very ordinary is rarely recorded in favour of the great and the good. <br /><br />In terms of creativity though I doodle a bit, I write notes but as I writer I prefer to get stuck in. I am not a great planner. I have a basic idea and then I let the book / story get on with it. There are precious few notes for my books.<br /><br />GillieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942453663099184248.post-22257645227705345792012-11-17T06:04:06.845-08:002012-11-17T06:04:06.845-08:00I just wanted to pop in to say how much I enjoy th...I just wanted to pop in to say how much I enjoy this new set of watercolors. I loved the 12 x20 of your "tools" and, at first, thought the Bernina was also fabric.<br /><br />I carry a cheap $10 (art sketchbook) journal around with me. I LOVE the pages, the way they feel, the way my pens slide across as I write. The way my gluestick is applied. I can gesso the pages in black or white and then draw on top of that with chalk pens. No ripples. Always smooth.<br /><br />I write, glue, draw and list in these journals, things as mundane as a list of what I ate that day. Last time at the art supply I bought 10. I fill about one a year as there are so many pages and I skip writing for days at a time. It's right here my my left elbow.<br /><br />I would be lost without it. I can go back and look in old journals and find missing recipes, phone numbers and best of all, memories. I imagine myself, in my 80's or 90's reading my life out of these journals. What a lovely thought.Joanne Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01623855664379207620noreply@blogger.com
