Small trickles of weak sun coming through into the studio. Amazing how pale it looks when you see the photograph...it doesn't seem like that at the time. Snow melting and now going black and yuk. Looks like the promised weekend of sledging may not happen, disappointed boys! Orders coming in and going out...some small, some BIG and fairly daunting! New challenges. Certain doodles seem to be breeding, must be Spring in the air.

My fabulous Paumes books arrived yesterday from the lovely Yvonne at Yvestown. All in Japanese, but really doesn't matter, so inspirational. I'm totally inspired to redecorate...if it wasn't so bloomin' cold. All the snow has frozen and gone sludgey and it's now rainy. Such a shame, it was so crisp and magical for a few weeks. 

This strange girl is hanging around for a while in the studio. She came for Christmas and decided that she liked it so much, she would stay longer. She does chat a lot, but we have a giggle whilst I'm working, and she drags her bunny around the studio. 

Happy New Year!

Been back at work for a week now, but think it will kick off properly tomorrow...have the feeling that people are REALLY back into the groove then. Still submerged in snow, which is FAB! Loving it. We've managed to pack in some wicked sledging in the past couple of weeks (bruises to prove it!). Jan is proving to be super busy already, which is great. Think this is going to be a bonkers year.
