Welcome to my new blog, Bed in Summer. I was previously blogging under the name Girl Wanders. I have felt disconnected from that blog for some time now, and a recent site hack only confirmed my desire to change names.
I feel as though I have been an aimless blogger. I blogged about whatever caught my eye that week. So some weeks it looked like a food blog, other weeks an art blog, and others a fashion blog. Too much.
I want this blog to become centered mainly around my art work and creativity. I plan on pulling together posts not only about what I am working on, but also what inspires me along the way.
The name Bed in Summer is the title of my absolute favorite poem as a little girl. It is by R.L. Stevenson from a Child’s Garden of Verses.
In winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candle-light.
In summer, quite the other way,
I have to go to bed by day.
I have to go to bed and see
The birds still hopping on the tree,
Or hear the grown-up people’s feet
Still going past me in the street.
And does it not seem hard to you,
When all the sky is clear and blue,
And I should like so much to play,
To have to go to bed by day?
I love your blog, and this poem, too. Thank you for posting it, it has been a wonderful way to start my day.
