Chronicles: April to July

When you saw the title you probably thought this would be one of those ‘picture overload’ posts… but it isn’t. Chronicle pages  from April to July may sound like a lot but I have only a few pages to show you from that period ’cause April, May and June were the weeks that I did not work in my journals…

First I could not do a thing because of the stress of looking at a deadline to find a new house and after we found that, by the end of April, my weeks were filled with packing and moving to the new place. Living in the new appartment brought new troubles and more stress (a noisy neighbour lived above us) and instead of relaxing after a difficult period, we faced yet again firestorms.

I took short notes on scraps of paper to remember everything what happened to use the text on the Chronicle-pages, but it wasn’t until July (week 30) before I had unpacked my stuff and started creating again. First thing I did was to prepare the pages of all the weeks that I had taken notes (week 14 – 29.)

These pages all look the same… on the left I created a ‘calendar’ kind of page – to write down the facts with each date – and on the right I glued lined paper to write my personal story about this period in my life (“old fashioned private and personal diary-writing”.)

In week 30 my atelier was ready to use, my stuff was unpacked, and I started creating a Chronicles-spread every week again.

The Chronicles of Marit 2014 – Week 31

(Oh, and our upstairs neighbour was forced to move out last month because of the nuisance she caused, so now we finally, finally can really settle in and relax… but those events are on Chronicle pages of August that I will show you later)

Thanks for stopping by today and have a lovely weekend.
Keep calm and don’t hinder the neighbours 😉
