I’m in the process of moving into a small studio art space, it’s one that will be open to the public, so I’m busy framing and styling with art prints from my online shops (Etsy & dot.com). I’ll be able offer art prints to people in person and also design consulting services, it’s a new venture for me and it’s taking up most of my time in March, but it’s very exciting. I’ll have more images and photos of that endeavor to share in April.
My daughter is coming home from university next week for her spring break so we’re all happy to see her. We will be celebrating a family birthday and making summer plans, it will be good to have a full house again. Spring is in the air in this part of the country, and although it’s still cold and rainy, every other day we get patches of sun and the blue skies are the loveliest backdrop to all the trees and flowers in bloom.
