Army of…

I feel a fire under my tush these days that includes wanderlust, a painting or drawing a week, new books, and new friends.

After a much-needed trip away from Baltimore, I returned with much need for decompression. Cleaning is strangely easier in the winter; I guess when it’s 15 degrees outside, all I want is to keep the indoors feeling fresh:
-3 loads of laundry
-sink full of dishes
-re-organized closet
-new paper organizer jawn for the studio
-coat rack to hold all the clothes I normally toss on the floor
-fixed the ole vacuum…
-because I have rugs that Charlie likes to eat

I lovelovelove my fresh white covers, but with Charlie getting his fur all over anything and everything he can, I tossed them in the wash in exchange for my old ones–magenta and chartreuse and orange–and my bedroom is suddenly a snuggly little cave.

Two Months Later…

and I am still not so successful at this internet jammer. It’s better than a year though, innit?

In fairness, I have been consumed by a lot of other goodies, namely my Etsy Shop, the usual hectic stuff that happens near the end of the year, re-vamping my home studio, and catching up on sleep. There never seems to be enough sleep.

I hear on the radio this morning that people who get less than 7 hours of sleep per night are 3 times more likely to catch a cold… That would be have been nice to hear before I got any of those three colds I’ve had in the last three months.

If you’re in the Baltimore area, I’m doing a tiny bookbinding workshop at the BMA this Friday from 7-10. Come by and say hello!

And here’s a little something I’m crazy about today:
