Today is Black Friday in the U.S., which means I'm off work and enjoying a day as far away from stores and the crazed shopping public as possible. The quiet of my studio and the company of the sweet little guy pictured above have made me realize how much I miss sunny days at home. My studio has windows on three sides, and it is wonderfully cheery. If I could move a coffee pot in here, I might never leave. Of course, I could easily move a coffee pot in here, but then I might never be seen again.
I've spent a lovely morning painting little bits for a project that is slowly taking shape in my head. I want to learn to make labels for journaling and scrapbooking. I have the die-cutting machine and the scanner and too many ideas to keep up with. Often, having too much to think through will paralyze me, but I'm determined to just pick away at the learning curve and the steps until something comes of it. I don't have a lot of free time, but I do have some. So, there are no excuses for staying paralyzed. I will get back at it!
