My Creative Space - Or Lack Thereof

Not much is happening in my creative space lately, and I imagine there will be no progress on my Klimt inspired self-portrait for another five weeks or so. I have three hand-ins to complete before the end of the week, four exams beginning in a month and I haven't even read the first pages in some of the books.
To be honest, all I really dream of is a creative retreat. Somewhere in Tuscany there would be an old Italian village where they would host cooking classes. In my daydreams, me and S are learning how to make the worlds most delicious  pizzas with velvet-like mozzarella like the one we tasted in Rome.We would spend our evenings reading outside, painting and photographing - or just experiencing what the Italians call dolce far niente. We would eat as much ripe fruit as we could ever dream of.
That's how my creative space would look like. What about yours?
