building



+ + +


a set of small bricks and rooftiles was waiting a long time in my shelve, i found it at a fleemarket last year. we always wanted to build something, this weekend we made some attempts.

Lou knowing exactly what she wanted, made a barn for some petite horses, very determined.
her friend L struggling a little bit, not getting much more done then the reverse L.
me not getting started at all because i wanted to make a miniature of my ideal summercabin and i couldn't decide how it should look like, lost in vague dreams about a very simple building surrounded by nature, not knowing what it might be...
So, i got distracted with making tee and meals for some nice weekendguests and helping out with construction tips.

it makes me happy to make simple things with her, it is like a challenge to enlarge this kind of childhoodactivities when raising a kid in the middle of a big city. sometimes it feels like a everydaybattle to keep the adult and "plastic" world out of her mind.

I read this yesterday, and wanted to write something, thoughtful, full of thoughts, but I can't seem to concentrate... I should work. 3 more days before we go. Thank you for telling this is a good season, I've been meaning to check.

You are so right in what you write. Your daughter is a lucky child.

so I see a big room, a really little sleepingroom and a second floor is emerging, one for a working space, of which the structure is building up the roof of the terrace; building for yourself should be a realistic idea;

lou made that but i am dreaming and thinking about building every day, a new obsession, i was just about to start with a new post about that issue and got your comment, but we have to talk about it, tomorrow?
