			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Wheweee! I now know that I wasn&#8217;t stupid about the blogging, just BLIND. </strong></p>
<p>The menu bar is right at the top of my screen, which being a Mac, all the tab lines and catagories are on a grey bar which is EXACTLY the same colour as the<strong> <em>Northings </em>- My Account . . .</strong> etc. bar. No wonder I couldn&#8217;t see it  until Sian talked me through it.</p>
<p>Drowning in leather samples, bits of experimental tooling, dying, braiding, fringing, etc. This is all very intense &#8211; actually a good thing that I have photos in three weeks and must have the new product ready for that. By the time of the exhibition, I will be totally relaxed! I am using some of the methods of The Artists Way by allowing myself to start the day with creative writing &amp; drawing of new ideas that have germinated during sleep. It is such a challenge to create something totally new! The only reassuring thing is that I can see from the blogging community that there are lots of people out there who are still in love with books. All this I-Tab stuff is so depressing. Will pen and paper really be obsolete? I use it all day, every day, but am I just part of a dwindling minority? Are children who write and draw seen as being backwards by their peers?</p>
<p>Time for some digital Radio 7 to give a backround of fantasy while I play with more paper. Good to see the progress of you other three.</p>
