BEEN SPENDING A LOT OF TIME IN HERE LATELY

I took a few days off of work to spend some quality time in the studio, getting ready for my upcoming show at Amelia here in Oxford. This is the first  good little stretch of time that I've had to spend in this gorgeous space, and I am already spoiled. It's such a bright, airy, happy place to be, never mind the awesome commute from my back door. I've also discovered the joys of getting to leave my workspace as is, not having to worry about cleaning up and putting this away, which, I have to say, is incredibly satisfying. Just to know that pieces are sitting there, just waiting for me to come work on them, makes me anxious to get back out there.

I'm also anxious to get back out there just to spend time in this nest. I'm all moved in and surrounded by things of beauty and inspiration.

I've made a deal with myself: spend time in the studio every day. It doesn't matter if it's just to look at a book or prime a panel, just be in this space.

I think I can do that.
