I really should start a newsletter. It’s on my list for someday when I have time! Here is some news and some fun things I’ve been enjoying.
I will be in Rollinsford, New Hampshire this weekend at the Open Studios for artstream studio. This is their brand new space and I can’t wait to see it! Susan Schwake, artstream’s owner, invited me to come up and enjoy some time in the new space. 
I will have lots of goodies and hope some of you can make it. It is Saturday and Sunday, 10 to 5, 20 Front St, Rollinsford, NH.
Speaking of Susan, have I mentioned her new book Art Camp: 52 Art Projects for Kids to Explore (Kids Art)
Yeah, it’s actually a bit of bragging since I am one of the profiled artists <3 What I love about this book is that it is for kids. Not kids and their parents or teachers. It is projects they can do on their own. I had a book like that when I was a kid- it was called the Make-It Book. Actually, I still have it, totally falling apart but oh how I loved that book.
I have a mini-feature in the Holiday issue of Sweet Paul magazine. I designed 2 ornaments for them and they will put the directions up on their website but I don’t think they are there yet. I will keep you posted. But, in the meantime, here is a link for free access to the online version of the Holiday issue. Enjoy!
Here are some things I’ve been enjoying lately-
I know I mentioned Miss Fisher. Such glorious eye-candy! I have finished Season 1 and 2 but before I started Season 3, I got distracted by The Great British Baking Show (or Bake-Off as it is known everywhere else except the US). So, so good. And I am not normally a reality, contest show kind of watcher.
I’ve just discovered the Dear Sugar podcast. You might not know this about me but I love advice columns. The problems of life in a few paragraphs, get their answers. Or something. Anyway, I read/listened to Cheryl Strayed’s book Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar a few years ago and loved her voice, how she thought and talked about hard questions. I am thrilled that I now have a whole years’ worth of episodes to listen to!
Okay, one more photo of some things that will be coming to NH with me. Hope some of you can make it!
Oh Mimi!! That cat in black and white check is adorable!! I’m going to google Rollinsford right now and see it it could be a day trip!
Re: the Make-it book. I found a copy of this on Ebay and I just love, love, love it. So exciting to hear of someone else who’s heard of it and thinks it great too.
Congrats on being featured in the new book, will check it out ASAP.
Hi Mimi, just saw your post, and wanted to recommend the Miss Fisher books, the originals for the series by Kerry Greenwood. Better than the TV series – richer stories and a fiercer, less sweet Phryne.
