10.1.14

after those busy months
time is slowing down in the workshop
.
last year ended on such a happy note
this one started a bit painful - for me
a full blown return of the back pain
(there´s soon an end to that since my magician physiotherapist returned from his holiday)
in combination with an unsettling stomach ache
hopefully someone finds out soon where it´s coming from 
and what can be done about it
.
this kind of sucks the energy right out of me
and all i want to do is come up with ideas and plans
since i really like the fresh feeling of a brand new year
.
since a lot of you enjoyed E´s performance
i will ask her to do one every time she comes visiting
right now she´s a bit stressed out writing and painting her thesis
but it´s going to be all right
she´s not only a fun performer but also an excellent writer
her first publication being on the beauty of smallness
she forgot the very small elephant i made her for Christmas
.
to a - from now on - better new year
.
an interesting  BASIL CAKE
super constructed jewellery by UNCOMMON MATTERS
