Life right now, in no particular order.

I’m working on a picture book dummy at the moment. It’s a change of pace for me, having to think through both words and images. I’ve lost track of how many versions of the text there’s been. There needs to be quite a few more. But this is the sort of project that for too long I’ve said, “someday,” and it feels good to finally say, “today” (even if I do want to frequently bang my head against the wall).
Daffodil season is the best season. To be fair, they are my favorite flower, so I may be slightly biased. But if you remember this scene from the movie “Big Fish,” you understand.
I finished knitting Caitlin Hunter’s Ghost Horses sweater and I’d wear it everyday if it were socially acceptable, that’s how much I love this pattern. I knit Size 1 in KnitPicks stroll and didn’t make any modifications. I knit this for most of the winter, while drinking my morning coffee and seeing those horses slowly appear over the course of the weeks was a thrill.
Sweeney Astray is a splendid read.
I started working on notes for an online class, but then got to wondering if this is of interest. Possibly? To Anyone? Tentatively, I have outlines for either a botanical illustration class or a workshop dealing with sketchbooks and creativity. All that to say, I’m open to either. Or neither. And if you have ideas, I’m all ears and feel free to drop a line.
