where the ideas live...

I have a dream year where I don't do anything except try all of the ideas that I keep in this book...it's stuffed with yet to be tried crafts, sewing projects, paintings, furniture building, gardening ideas, recipes and just general STUFF.
 
The first half of the book is my own ideas and treasuries of textures...
...themes, colours...
...a few painting ideas...
Then the back half of the book is chock full of A LOT of fun things that I will try in my dream year...
Of course this dream year will be spent as follows...
6 months in Ireland (where I walk the hills everyday and drink pints of Guiness while the evening rolls around)
and 6 months in the hills of southern Italy (where I will cycle to the local village every day and drink pints of wine while the evening rolls around)
As the group 'Nathan' sings in one of their songs..
." I'm goin' down the highway, with a suitcase full of all my bad ideas, goin' to test them out, see what I have been missing all these years."

Beautiful books...
