A Very Nice Day

After getting some work done, we were able to spend some time outside in the sun, it was delightful. It started with gelato and a cappucino on the patio at Mio Gelato down the street, then some time in the garden winding yarn into balls and knitting, followed by a walk to meet a friend for dinner. A perfect summer day. I'm always amazed at how much we miss when we're in the car. You really notice the little things when walking. Today, for example, I fell in love with peonies. Why haven't I planted peonies yet?

I've added a few new prints to the shop.
Small Town:

Business Bear:

and Bedtime Story:

Prints

I spent most of yesterday carving linoleum blocks for some art prints.

This is Snow Bear Takes a Walk::

and this is Feeding Time::

These have both been framed and are in the shop.

I went to IKEA (I know, weird right?) last night hoping to find some nice black frames, but wasn't happy with the selection. Not to worry though, IKEA did have some other items to offer, like a $2 lamp and pretty pink napkins. I ended up finding the frames I wanted at Michael's for a most reasonable price. Simple black frames can be so nice.


I've got approximately one gazillion coasters to make for holiday orders so I'll say goodbye for now, have a great weekend!
