Cheating the Muse - Letter M

Hey there, creative friend!

Happy halfway, A-to-Z blog challenge day! If you are taking part, well done so far. I have visited a few blogs, but will get to more in an about a week's time. I have a book deadline keeping me busy.

Do you like to make things? I do. Bookbinding is a favourite, but so are the models I have on my bookshelf. I have a lot of books, but we are fortunate to have a room in the house dedicated as a library. Loads of engineering textbooks, photo albums, lever arch files with the materials of courses we did, and then my fiction books. Hundreds of books. So, the bookshelf in my office has space for the models I built over the years.

The next model I plan to build is a Da Vinci clock and an apothecary cabinet. The clock is a model I bought, but I plan to make the cabinet from scratch and will have a blog series about it.

Unfortunately, this can only happen after April since I have a novel coming out on 30 April and lots of stuff to do for that. I don't do much marketing, but if you like fantasy books for adults, click the links on the eBook tab above to have a look.

I hope you're having a lovely, creative week.

Until tomorrow!

💜 Linzé

    I love to make things. I paint sometimes, or counted cross stitch, or make my own jewelry, and even write a short story here and there. it just feels good to let some of your imagination to spill out into the real world once in a while

      I love counted cross-stitch too! Not so much time these days since my focus is on painting and drawing, but I have a project going that I want to work on again. Enjoy all your creative projects, and thank you so much for stopping by! 💜

    Oh yes, I love to make things! From crochet to collage to little book nook models! I'm excited to read about and see your apothecary cabinet!

    Happy half-way point!

      I love the book nook models. One day I want to build one too! I am very excited to start on the apothecary cabinet. I have already collected little bottles and other things that I want to use. 😃 Thank you so much for stopping by, Melissa! 💜
