I need space and time in order to stretch.

I want to be able to wake up
make some coffee
bake some scones
spend all the rest of the hours with a hammer in one hand and a torch in the other.
fall asleep
and repeat.

I've been a little "off" this week. The time between these trips is a little awkward. Two weeks isn't much time at all to settle back into home and into making.

Today, though, I picked up a file. The physical presence of it in my hand, the repetitive motions, woke something up.

This week I have a lot of preparing to do. I'm going to Venice! and Florence! and possibly places in between...Italia. Mi sei mancato molto.
