Your page is amazing. It is very creative. I looked at the pictures forever. I really liked the blog about fogs and fish eggs. It was so creative to do pictures that go right along with your stories. Where did you find all of that art? I really thought that it was incredible. It is the way that I eventually want to structure my blog page. I do not have much on my page yet because I just started blogging, but it sounds like a lot of fun.

Greetings from Tucson, AZ. I just happened upon your blog, and it is such lovely thing to see the lifestyle you live. I love the photos of the countryside outside the knome-like windows. It is always hard to find inspiration, but you are on the right/ best path. Thank you for your site!

Dreamy words that resound so familiarly! Looks to me as if you have succeeded in crawling through the rabbit hole into your very own cosy story!

Your words: "Then they nibbled right into me, they changed the way I experienced life, they wrenched emotions from me strong enough to bring a sharpness akin to tears. Now I look at the illustrations and remember these feelings, and simultaneously I view the images through my adult eyes and admire the cleverness of line or the exquisite execution of watercolour backgrounds..."
oh, I love that: they nibbled their way into you....
What a naked post you wrote - sharing these things with us horoed readers. Procrastinator - hardly, Rima. Be encouraged, perfection is required for visionaries, and you are certainly not going to be used, ever, as a textbook example of procrastination! You are a visionary gift.

I have not this time read the previous comments, but I'm imagining they have all said about the same thing.

So glad you have music, now, in your wheely home!

i just keep coming back to this picture of you in that cozy book-crammed nook.... it's so like the mental image I've got of my own dream home. :) The shelving, the lighting, i could go on and on...

2009-02-02T09:27:00.000Z

I have absolutely no doubt you would create a superb book - unique and perfectly you, which is far more important than merely being "perfect", which can be rather dull.

I'm a recovering perfectionist. My best advice is - don't think, just do it. Follow your heart, or that organ you cannot name, and... leap.

You will fly. ;-)

2009-01-28T18:15:00.000Z

Rima, you are a delight! I love your thoughts and your thrilling plans to write a book that can only be whimsically wonderful. Seeing you writing and painting in your cosy little home makes me want to rush off and create something enchanting. You are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your world with us.

You are who I want to be when I grow up.

Until recently, I've had a torn-out magazine page depicting a cabin room stuffed with books and odd objects swinging from the rafters taped to the front of my fridge.... and now that I see your mobile dream factory, I know that no one is truly alone in their head. :)

I am sure your storie is going to be great. Your blog evoked lots of cosy feelings when I landed here. What a treasure and what a treasure your home is. You see many of them here in NZ but I haven's seen such a beautiful wandering house as you have.
It is nice to think back when you were a kid I work with them and enjoy their fantasies but in all of us there is still a piece left of it I think
Have a nice day

I can really relate with the nostalgia and the procrastination and the perfectionism. It's hard having so many beautiful ideas that just wont go on paper by themselves.

I hope you have a lot of fun with the writing!

PS: Don't you wish sometimes you could just become a kid again? Everything being so new all the time. Then again, you wouldn't know it and the feelings wouldn't be so spectacular...

2009-01-25T00:05:00.000Z

Gosh Rima, so many fans you have!! And deservedly so. You may wish to ignore the following, which is quite fine by me. I was 'tagged' but the instructions given don't work for me, so it's here:

25 Things Meme from LeatherdykeUK
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.

Hurrah! Oh Rima, that is SUCH a great decision. I'll hold that image of you steadily writing at a lovingly-illumed, cozy desk 'til the project is done. I am so looking forward to see the result. :)

2009-01-23T15:06:00.000Z

“Write everyday line by line, page by page, hour by hour. Do this despite fear. For above all else, beyond imagination and skill, what the world asks of you is courage: courage to risk rejection, ridicule and failure. As you follow the quest for stories told with meaning and beauty, study thoughtfully and write boldly. Then like the hero of that fable, your dance will dazzle the world.”

- Robert Mckee

There is not one bit of doubt in my mind that a book by you will be completely outstanding.

Unique and original a one of a kind.

Hope that I will be alive to enjoy it.

Peace

2009-01-22T21:43:00.000Z

I have spent the last hour visiting your blog and links and I must tell you that I'm in love with all of it.
I will come often visit!
I also like to use inspiration from the Middle Ages for my work. I live in Austria but have a daughter studying in Wales, who I often visit. I love the folklore and fairytales of the UK!

2009-01-22T17:19:00.000Z

Dear Rima, How wonderful... a book!! I can't wait, you are such a talented artist and inspire all of us with your words and paintings .... onwards, onwards!
We are right behind you sending you magic.

2009-01-22T15:53:00.000Z

Ah, well it makes total sense, you had to rid yourself of stagnation to write the book. literally it was a block of all kinds. Cramps are still gone, aren't they?

2009-01-22T14:58:00.000Z

Dear Rima,

I see those stories which are woven in your heart, all over your blog..... different yarns snipped to create your art, your wonderful life with your honey, the cozy nooks created in your home and your special connection you have with your surroundings...all a part of you!:) As these threads somehow make themselves known and become woven back together outside your heart....I see many beautiful stories reborn.:) you are amazingly talented! A true gift. Let me reassure you that those stories never go away. (I am much older than you.) AND for me they get much clearer. When I was little, I imagined myself as a weary traveler with nothing but a few posessions in a shoebox. As my adventures unraveled, someone tucked a flute in my pocket and was gifted an accordian along the way which I strapped to my back. Now I reside at the edge of a magical wood in a cozy cottage with my brute. . . Oh, and someday I will drawn upon those stories and record those magical tunes composed along the bumpy roads!:) Thanks for the inspiration and am looking forward to hearing and seeing more your adventures. Hugs, Amy

2009-01-22T04:22:00.000Z

I think you are an amazingly talent woman - and I, for one, will be expectantly waiting to see your book come out in print. Speaking of print, I saw one on Etsy that you had done, and I was waiting until after Christmas to buy it for myself - but your Etsy shop has been closed now. Is there a way that I could buy the print of the little witch in the bottle. I fell in love with her small hands pressing against the glass, and her calm expression of knowing that this isn't an insurmountable issue, being trapped in a bottle... If I could buy it you can email me at mimiolivia@hotmail.com. Keep up the good work - its beautiful!
