I’ve got a good good gig.<\/p>\n

I drove down to Washington State last week for a Pippin overnight trip with Mary and Jill, the Pippin US lovelies who do a lot of the heavy lifting in getting our canvases out there. \u00a0They’ve been finding new spots for us to get together and get some fun working done. \u00a0This time Mary has dear friends who were kind enough to lend us their spectacular home near Anacortes to settle into and brainstorm. The picture above is where we set up our work stuff. \u00a0Lucky me.<\/p>\n

And you know what’s cool? \u00a0We get a ton<\/em> of work done. \u00a0This is the first time since hooking our wagons together that we felt like all of the\u00a0weird little things to solve were figured out\u00a0and we could just go full steam ahead with new thoughts and ideas and wonderings. \u00a0I took along\u00a0a bunch of new rough designs and sketches that are banging at the walls in my head wanting out. \u00a0It’s a good feeling having more time now to make that happen.<\/p>\n

This little guy is part of a series we’re calling the Smalls. \u00a0We’re just getting them sent off to be painted and they’ll start being ready to go in January. \u00a0I think I have to find them their own new little spot on the website. \u00a0We took some of our favourite things off of a few of the nines canvases, like crows and bats and witches’ hats, \u00a0and made them into their own little ornaments. \u00a0This is also a sneaky peak because it’s off of a new nine witches’ boots design that will be coming out in January.<\/p>\n

I came downstairs in the morning and sat with my sketchbooks looking out at the water. \u00a0I was thinking why don’t I have a spot to sit like this in my house? \u00a0In the short time I was there I started sketching the shapes out for a new dozens and then got happily lost in a new little hanging. \u00a0I get antsy sitting at my desk too much \u00a0— I’m thinking my office needs a good clean up and then maybe a new colour of paint or something — and feel lucky when I’m reminded how good it feels\u00a0designing in\u00a0other spots too.<\/p>\n

Before heading out we took a little walk towards the water and I realized it’s been a little too long since I smelled the salt. \u00a0It even made me break the self-imposed selfie limit and try another. \u00a0That’s Mary on the left and Jill in the middle. \u00a0We have the most fun working together and let me tell you these ladies are smart! \u00a0And kind and funny and real. \u00a0And Mary fed us like queens too. \u00a0Bonus!<\/p>\n

I feel like I’m living the life doing all of this. \u00a0Wow. \u00a0Blessed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
