Today I am simply caught up in the glee of having nowhere pressing to be, a new place, a working oven cooperating with my cookies and focaccia and a brand new attic studio. I was worried about the cold but everybody has little heaters on sale and with that and the door closed I will have a toasty and productive place to paint and draw. I love looking out at my street from the attic windows and watching all the little men shovel the sidewalk.

Oh blessed be the domestic! I've got more putzing around to do but I just didn't want you to think I'd forgotten about you, it's lovely getting emails and wonderful things like Mark's teapot in my mail. I am excited to discover the Everson's online clay exhibit and to know that anytime i want I can grab some focaccia, a hot mug of bresh tea, and hop upstairs to draw little men shovling little sidewalks with little plastic shovels.

joy!
