The stuff procrastination is made of.

Just peeking my head above a fortress of terribly depressing books to say hello.  What I'm writing right now better be good because the reading I'm doing as research, if history is any indication of the future, has me feeling hopeless for the human race.  

What I mean to say is that if the book I'm writing is crap, then I will have been a masochist.  But you already knew that (especially you Isa.)

Writer's angst has me searching desperately for online distractions.   Alas the mindless and entirely relaxing world of home design now revs me up.  I've come to resent draperies and candelabras and don't get me started on side tables. It's the accumulation that creeps me out.  It's all the STUFF.   It's an addiction people!

 

...all the pretty, pretty stuff.. 

Just one more picture okay, then I go to work.   I needed a boost, those books are soooo depressing.  

I knew if anyone would understand, it would be you.

I remember reading Jerzy Kosinski's Painted Bird when I was about 22 already and just being shocked, stunned by his descriptions of human behavior. If I went to the logical conclusion i would have to take back my statement of believing in the perfection of the natural world. Because we humans ARE a part of it. And some of us, animals.

I wish I could say I was shocked at 22...too much happened. But, we still push onward, eh Corine? Keep going. It's just one of those days (weeks)....

Happy Hallowe'en/Samhein (boo!)

Hi there, I'm new to the delights of your blog [via Dooce] and just love it! I feel happy just looking at the photos. I love your way with colour and I adore that patchwork quilt. You're my style guru X

Those photos couldn't be any more cheerful if they were tap dancing and singing show tunes.

I hate research. Doing it I mean. Well done you for keeping it up.

I love the colors, the prints, the fabrics, everything. Thank you!
