The Studio on a Sunday

Day 166/365

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Today in the studio it’s a tidy-up and reflect kind of day.  Putting things away is always the first step to a new project for me.  And after a week of shows, orders and many discussions it’s the perfect time to mull over the next big step for my little journal making company.  Stay tuned, it’s a good one!

See you at the Bellwoods Flea!

Day 165/365

Springtime!

Day 164/365DSC_0682_fotor

Springtime has finally arrived!  I’m really looking forward to some outdoor time without the 10 minute scarf/hat/mitts/boots/coats routine.  I’m also looking forward to warm weather and outdoor sketching, and journalling on patios and cafes!

I’ve got some fun springtimey things planned for the blog over the next little while, stay tuned!  In the meantime, it’s okay to start breaking out the spring wardrobe, right?
