Some bits of the page :
These are not eggs, in the boy's basket. It's ceps. My ex-husband is very good at finding them, and I'm not. I miss his cooking, sometimes.

Novembre
Finally finished my november page. Now I know this calendar will never be ready for 2010. Like we say in french, I've put all my eggs in the same basket, some are going to fall down and break... (plus, I'm lazy, it doesn't help.)

Un chasseur de primes, une belle caisse et deux bouquins
That's Lee Van Cleef in "The good, the bad and the ugly". I love this movie, seen it several times always with the same pleasure. Saw a Korean movie last december with my brother that was called "the good, the bad and the crazy" and it was great, in another style, really crazy and fun!
Another car for my calendar, it's a Ford Capri - so I'm told, I don't recognize cars unless I've driven them or been driven in them for years - and I've never had a Capri, too bad, it looks cool!
And two new books.
Centering on Pottery, Poetry and the Person is a fabulous book. I don't know exactly why I felt compelled to buy and read it but I love it. It's very difficult for me, because of the writing, not my first language, and a beautiful, unique, poetical way of writing, and deep meaning. I read it very slowly and feel things moving and growing inside as I read and re-read each paragraph - it's that difficult for me : ) !
The other book is a big thriller, well done, very good for reading near the swimming pool, if you have one, or in bed until very late because you want to know the end and begin something else.

Des confitures, des cuillères et un camion
This is another page of my future calendar. At the rate I'm going I think it could be finished for 2012.
This is Août (august).
I'm drawing a lot these days and not blogging much. I seem to have absolutely no discipline at all, I mean even less than I usually do.
It's really nice...

10 Indiens et un filon d'or
Loved the book on the left, it was powerful and interesting, the kind that gives you a lot to think about. English original title is "Ten Indians", by Maddison Smartt Bell.
"The Vein of Gold" was as amazing as "The Artist's Way". It took me almost a year to read them (and work with them) and they're really life changing books.
"The Vein of Gold" really moved me in ways I never would have imagined. It made me explore and do things I never do, think in a different way, engage in projects I had never thought about before. I can't recommand it enough!

2 filles, une baleine et une 2 chevaux
I'm trying to make a new calendar for next year. These are little pieces of the "september" page.
I'm going to draw cars and motorbikes on every page! Here's my favorite of all times, "la deudeuche" - Citroën 2CV.

2 livres, une locomotive, une jolie nana et 2 tourterelles
New reads! Loved both books, one a great thriller, the kind you don't let go easily! Read it on the beach mostly, it was nice : )! The other one took some time because it was so rich, a wonderful book about love and reading, and solitude, and books, et caetera... Loved it. I'm sure it's translated in English too. The author is Italian, and the story takes place in Milano, New York, and Belle Ile in France.
Did these two cards for my parents, they liked them!

4 bouquins et 26 chats
Even when I'm not in the mood to do much, I still like to draw books, it seems...
On the left, a thriller. Didn't like it much, it was violent and I didn't care much for the characters. Not bad, either, it was okay for an afternoon with the kids on the beach. On the right, an essay about neo-paganism, what it is, the various groups and tendancies. Interesting.
These were great! On the left, French fabulous author Tonino Benacquista, with a fun story about a Newark ex-maffia family hidden in a small french village, and raising hell there. And on the right, Finland fabulous author Aarto Paasilinna, with a fun story about Suedish midwives and Finnish lumberjacks stranded on a not so desert island.
And twenty six cats. Seventy four to go and I'll be able to draw a cat properly, I hope. (read somewhere that if you draw something a hundred times you can begin to really get it right - meaning, you understand it better.)
