Brightening Up January

At such a drab time of year, it's important to keep tabs on the fun things in life. Here are a few of the things that brightened up my weekend:

1. Sunny, yellow tulips!


2. Discovering one of your favourite art stores has wood-backed lino blocks back in stock!


3. Finally putting one of your favourite Kid Icarus cards to good use! (Happy Birthday, Robin!)


4. Golden Retriever Puppies! (Specifically, the 3-month-old golden retriever puppy that your sister just bought)


Mid-January might not be the most inspiring time of year, but the cold weather sure helps keep a gal inside and productive. I finished an important goal this weekend - Number 7. Write on the theme of the 'uncanny'. My writing took the form of a five part short story and although it's still in rough draft form, I think it's a pretty interesting/creepy idea. I also did some brainstorming for other projects, but nothing worthy of actually scratching something else off the list.

I hope you all have your own bright things to keep your January cheery! A puppy definitely helps.

    Tanya - No worries about the deleted post. I love imperfections in printmaking, but typos are always frustrating.

    Grace - Thanks! I'll be sure to post as soon as I've made some progress.
