This quote, told to me by a friend when I closed my shop has had me thinking. It has made me realise that I shouldn't have closed the shop, I should have hung in there, I should not have let go after so long of trying, of already hanging in there if even by the merest of threads. So the shop is once again open and that's the door closed on that little hiccup. As for everything else, nothing has changed. Things will change. I won't make for the shop at the same pace. I am still going to pursue my other project. My fog has lifted slightly. A light came on and I thought ''what do you do when you know where you want to go but don't know how to get there?'' Well I decided the best place to start was to go back.
Back to 2006 actually, to a module at University, the theme similar to my current aspirations. One of my most successful modules, most inspiring modules working alongside someone whom I consider to be an expert in this field. The best guidance provides the best inspiration, the best results. So this is the sketchbook that I am sure will inspire my new venture. I am going to pore over every page, make notes, doodle, sample. I'm sorry to say that I won't be able to share any end results, not immediately anyway but there is more of this sketchbook to see and who knows, there may be some ''failed'' samples to expose!
Thanks to everyone for welcoming me back. The Sweden link will stay at the top of the page for a while incase anyone hasn't seen my pictures yet. I now have to finish wedding favours, continue with my throw, can't wait to have that one finished (and wrapped round my feet) and embark on my new venture.
Oh and I have masses of mail to answer too, busy, busy then!
