Lily was inspired by a Manga drawing book at our friends home in Southern Germany. Such a different style and she took it up so quickly. Fascinating for me is the eye mind hand sequence of drawing, I celebrate her skill!
I would like to practice more. X

The Treadle Machine
I am unsure how time passed so swiftly
But here we are
Thinking a lot of home and our return in a couple of weeks
What is happening in my garden?
Many stories not shared, I can’t claim I am a proficient travel writer!
Four people in a small space, so much outside to see and explore, where is the plug anyway?
Packing sorting packing
Being held lovingly by a friends home
Watching Lily make a travel bag for her birthday dolls and small things
The treadle machine is a new experience and has a gentle sound and rhythm
I am impressed with her independent skill revealing itself with sewing this project
She began as a wee girl sitting on my knee ‘steering’ fabric or ‘driving’ the peddle for me
Look at her now!
