Guten Morgen vom Küchentisch. Heute habe ich mir fest vorgenommen, zumindest ein bisschen Freizeit zu haben. Der Fellow Nerd schaut nachher nach dem Bandschleifer, den ich für‘s (nass) Abschleifen der Henkelstummel an zwei #Kintsugi-Tassen ausprobieren möchte, dann geht das da hoffentlich auch bald weiter. :) Vielleicht fange ich heute auch den tiefen Teller an, der zerbrochen hier liegt. #Autorenleben #writerslife #indieauthor #CreativeRest #KintsugiAtHome
