Hello My Swifties

So here we are. It's Saturday. January is nearly over. The quiet, gentle frost has broken in Portland and the rain is back, warming the air. The damp blanket of cloud holds the earth's heat a little longer, and the mercury rises a few degrees.

I slept in this morning. I'm making waffles with almond flour, coconut and strawberries - the last strawberries from a summer flat frozen for a day like today. The studio cat has been given a studio pass to sit on my lap as long as she keeps her hairs to herself and doesn't try to get them all over my work.

That is it. I'm writing to say hello. I'm working quite a lot in my studio. The shop heater has been going full tilt in an attempt to keep the ink warm and flowing. My typewriter has emerged from storage and is making an appearance in my latest book project. I will have a lot to show you soon.

Also, for all of you honeys and sweeties, I printed Valentines this year! Come take a look. They're adding a lovely brightness to my shop page, I must say.
