Coming soon …

There has been a lull in my life, particularly in my blogging space. This is a shame as my blog and writing in general has been a vital part of my life since 2010. I was in a place where I was able to record the happenings in my life.  I celebrated the finds I made. I documented the ups and downs of previous and present experiences at work and at home. 

When I retired from full time employment in 2017, I didn’t cope well mentally or physically without purpose, or so it seemed.  I found it difficult to manage my life and balance time and space without work to do.  So, I busied myself with art projects and my home and garden not venturing far and not stimulating enough interest for posting to my blog. As a result, the input was infrequent.  Until I began my MA in textiles, when I found much to write about and share.  While much time was spent being creative, I was able to use my research material fruitfully on my blog. When COVID came I found myself in the doldrums still creating and active in the garden but not finding it any more interesting and it didn’t compare to that I saw on the social media.

I continued to make and dress the dolls and film making became my life and an opportunity to share and perhaps filled the space created by not blogging.  It was exciting and I now have found a community and studio space in Reading where I can experiment with filmmaking and explore the opportunities that are opening every day.  The lifting of the stringent COVID restrictions helped, but it seems that being able to show work in social media is immediate and very rewarding. I have become more active on the World Wide Web in a different way which is somewhat consoling. Especially as I begin one or two more ventures that I hope to share as they become more presentable. 

I will share I hope soon ….
