Working too much, and dreaming of living in London

[frualeydis]

I ahve been working too much to do any serious crafting tha last two weeks. I made a blank scroll (still need a picture inside the letter, but that will be made when I know what it's for), I finished Måns' cotte today and I've some knitting. But not much that requires thinking, because I am totally exhausted mentally. Especially since my arthritis has decided that now is the time for a flare and ti takes a lot of will power just to keep going. The crafting I have done has been to try to handle the stress.

But I want to make more doll stuff, and I want to live in London, so that I could take Lilly, and dolls that I eventually will buy, and go to seeclothsprogs and drink tea and play with our dolls.

I've wanted to live in London (for a while) for many years, but is at least a new reason ;)

New blank scroll:




What I am knitting: Plaid 1940s jacket, except that mine is red with grey and petrol blue stripes.

The scroll is so beautiful! You really have illumination talent!

Speaking of dolls, would you be interested in my 1910's doll (in need of some repair) - we talked about it a few years ago, but I don't remember coming to any decision?

The scroll is beautiful - I'm sure it will be even more so when the picture is done.

So sorry about your arthritis flaring up, I hope it eases soon so you can get on without having to fight it.

As for living in London - not that it wouldn't be great to have you here but... Just think how awful your commute to work would be from London. 2 flights every day, plus the time getting to and from the airports and through security etc..... dreadful... {GRIN!!}

Thanks everybody for the comments on the scroll. I am not happy with all of it, but I am with the acathus leaves in side the letter H, because I have never meade shaded leaves like that before.
