Hello India, "thanks" I think, for the Tag, will get to it in a while, am snowed under at this stage....loved yours by the way!
hello T, just been sneeking a look at your blog earlier today, and am fascinated, I really want to felt, have all ready, but it also will be a while, after the heat in fact, until then I just enjoy watching others work.
By the way, I too have been struck by the India bug, I find it so fascinating, frustrating, wishing I had more time and so on. So in small steps as usual.... I get there eventually ..... and my students, well they think I am crackers, that I do enjoy, they might even learn something, would that not be justice .....
please be my guest (better said: be a Follower), keep looking, thats the way to keep us all motivated, if nobody is interested, we would soon stop, woudn't we?
Hello Madeleine, may i be a follower too?
I love what you do with cloths.
Been struck by the India bug, thats great, its allready overflown the ocean. You pity having little time? Well, may our steps on this earth not only be light but also small.
I wonder, did you find me from India's bog? Thank you for following.
Welcome Arija,

I don't know if I caught up with you, Martine, also welcome to the India bug, it's delightful isn't it!!!!!!!
Thanks for your comments, I'll be quiet for a while, I suspect, until I get back next year, but the i have to catch up........
I nice break for everybody, I am going for peace and quiet and magic views, to paint and photograph.
Just bought a new brushes (very expensive), made up a watercolour tube set, packed the old acrylics (unfortunately, the egg temperea is not ideal for travel)and I also bought myself a Digital SLR, the Olympus E-520. I have Photoshop on the computer and intend to teach myself over the break............
Recon I will still be busy..........
Saved up the latest two JD Robb's as well, to read on the beach, maybe watching the Sydney to Hobart pass by?
Love you all,
Madeleine
