It really is remarkable!

I worked in my studio today!!! Now, that doesn't sound very remarkable -- but today is the first day that I have really painted at the big table in my basement studio (backgrounds for 30 fatbook pages) and I sat and made valentine ornaments. Why is this remarkable? -- The basement is COLD (I got a little space heater) and kind of dark (my mom gave me an OTT light for Christmas! And I've almost finished painting and putting up the shelves. Soon I'll be able to sit down there with a book and a tea and have a quiet/ alone time read!!! Woo Hoo! Remarkable!

I know what you mean by cold as the computer is in the basement and my fingers just freeeeeeeze.
I first found you in the first SEW magazine and just loved what you did with birds.

I think you are remarkable! Happy New Year darling Martha! The M is all about you baby!

It's remarkable that I finished 2 sweaters for Andy to try. It's also remarkable that I've resisted the urge to undermine myself. No pressure, Martha. If they aren't suitable, I shall just add them to my inventory. Now that you're back to work, I could maybe ease things by mailing them to you. You'd have to send me your address though: to sgins@rogers.com.
Happy New Year even as it remarkably becomes old with the passage of time.

It does sound remarkable. I always try and carve time out to 'make' and it is hard, plus I don't have a proper studio . . . . yet . . . now that would be remarkable! What a good word to live by for this year!

Lovely things you have here too!
