\nI stopped. Assignments got in the way and I also experimented with
\nother techniques during the Summer. Also, I wanted to do every EDM
\nchallenge in the right order and skip none… BUT, I got stuck at prompt
\nnumber 5: ”Draw your bed.’<\/p>\n
It is not that I don’t want to draw my bed or show it to you, but our
\nbedroom has no chair and I could not get myself to sit on the ground
\nand draw my bed. The only prompt I drew last Summer was #10 –
\n‘Draw your hand’, as that prompt fitted beautiful with the Quirky Dutch
\nSummer challenge I had going.<\/p>\n
Last week, I decided I would skip the ‘bed prompt’ and get myself to drawing
\nagain. No more excuses or delays. Just grab a pencil and DO IT!<\/p>\n

\nthis bottle of ‘Pure Water from Zeeland’ as a present. All that time I kept
\nthe bottle unopened in a corner of the kitchen sink. Just to look at it. I need
\nto clean the bottle often because it is getting quite greasy, next to the stove,
\nbut I don’t mind that. The liquid that is inside will probably not be drinkable
\nanymore. We don’t even dare to try. The bottle just stands there.”<\/em><\/p>\n
\ntotally wrong! The left tray is way too large compared to the other two
