You can never have enough...

[Oh_hunnihunni]

I have learned a lot about myself, in various ways over these weeks. I sorted out the art cupboard - good heavens woman! How many stamp pads does one person need? The hospice shop will benefit. I then pulled out the boxes of old personal papers and filled two brown grocery bags with ripped up Important Stuff, that really wasn't important at all. I discovered the box of beautiful soft baby handknits me and my Mum made for the ungrateful little beast I raised - chip off old block, but not a knitter. Those made me weepy, so hospice bag for them too. Tossed out forty round cork backed placemats gessoed and part worked for an exhibition that I backed out of thirteen years ago - when family deaths and imminent homelessness forced one of those life change things - that project was going to be so cool too, but no, get real Michele, it aint going to happen. Broke down the two aquariums ready to sell, and built up a planted fishbowl to keep the best plants going. It'll keep my interest going, watery terrarium. And I gave myself another little typewriter for Christmas, one obsession replaces another. Will service it and have a play once the new year lets me access new ribbons again, though this one might be a tad hard-to-find, being one of the rarer models. Much fun to be had in the hunt though. And it is very pretty, lol... And I unearthed during the sort out my ancient Parker fountain pen, so have an excuse to go visit my favourite bespoke stationer and indulge in a coloured ink cartridge, but what colour? Teal blue? Violet? Hot pink? Ooooh, lime green?

Oh the possibilities! Roll on 2025. Imagine that people, we made it all the way to 25...
