Top five things that are making me happy right now:

• Having a new studio space to play in (admittedly, the lifting and organising makes me less happy)
• Watching someone crochet on the bus the other day
• Listening to audiobooks and podcasts
• Knitting a tiny emotional support chicken
• Being outside in the sunshine 🌞

I’m interested in mixed media and journalling so I’m working on collage elements right now. Hopefully I’ll be able to share them with you soon. This is a stack of leaves I have finished – watercolour, crayon, acrylic – whatever.

Yesterday I began working on birds. I began with watercolour blobs, then added Brusho – they are my favourites. After I remembered what a bird looks like, I progressed to line drawings. I think I’d like to do some crows next.

It feels so deliciously indulgent to take over the Big Table! Felicity the Monstera seems to like it up here too – I think she gets more light.

Have a brilliant, creative week. C.
