superawesomeshop.com – from my Pinterest board
For some time I’ve been meaning to set up on Pinterest – I always knew it was something I would love – finding beautiful images and stealing them – well it almost feels like stealing.
Today for the first time since the whole Costa journey began I ‘ve found time to breathe out. Yesterday I delivered the current work to my agent. This does not mean there won’t be more to do, but what it does mean is it’s time to stand back and wait a while. And time to spend an afternoon on my very first pinterest board.
I have lots of other things I want to do too – discover more about Renoir for my next project – I’m thinking novel but I can’t deny that stories are still lingering in my head – so probably both. My poetry course and my collage await me and a summer trip to France – plenty to keep me going then
Would love to hear what projects you have on the go and why not think of joining me on Pinterest if you’re not already there. You can view my first page HERE
I’ve also used it for the background to the blog – just for a change.
NB Thanks for all the positive responses to the newsletter – I’m glad you’re enjoying it.
Do you mean Pierre-Auguste Renoir, or Jean Renoir, both were/are great talents for my money (not sure if the later is dead). Just started a project in which the whole novel will play out in one room between two characters. Funny how things come along when you need them to. A copy of ‘Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sun’, the trilogy by Patrick Hamilton came into my hands. The first novel in the trilogy makes use of only two characters in 1930’s London, with no more than five secondary characters who are used very sparsely. Best thing I’ve read in a long time. ‘A grossly neglected novelist’ says Doris Lessing on learning that he was out of print for thirty years. Mmm, the arts and crafts interest is making me feel wooly, might have to dig that cross stitch patten out of the reader’s digest! A knitted voodoo doll of my mother perhaps . . .
I mean Pierre (Tho I’m reading Jean’s book about his father.) The new project sounds challenging – always good to have something inspiring to refer to – so crucial what we read. I don’t know Patrick Hamilton’s work so will have to give it a go.
The arts and crafts – tho I’m definitely more arts than crafts – yes all a little folksy – bear with me I’m having fun and I love my pictures. But knitting and cross stitch – life’s too short for me I’m afraid. Voodoo dolls – now they’re a little more interesting – quilted might be the thing.
A lovely page bursting with creative energy – don’t know where to start. With Pinterest perhaps?
Now started with Pinterest and am very much hooked. wx
Worried I might get hooked too!
