the colours of our afternoons ...

/ we construct

// we mother

/// we make swirls + waves

// // we make a splash, we cool down

// /// we bake for real + for fake

there is so much to do in the house, like

[wooing the electrician to pay us another call] [flushing out the heating system] [hanging things up/taking things down] [moving new/old furniture in, out or around] [reinventing the bedroom from scratch]

that sometimes it's just easier to attack the dolls house -
especially that [green-and-orange 3-piece suite]!
