Inspired by the sun

On February 20, 2023 By athurber43In Creating, Life in NH, ProductsLeave a comment

We've just gone through a strangely warm week here. Lots of snow melt, I only needed one jacket layer to walk to work, and taking the dog outside for her morning constitutional was quite enjoyable. This sneak peek of spring got me thinking about the sun, and a few minutes cleaning up the studio uncovered …

New products, new shop!

Graph paper notebooks. Bug stamp by Stampers Anonymous. Over the Christmas season I was approached with a custom order. A weaver from the co-operative art gallery I belong to, Artistic Roots, wanted notebooks to give as gifts to their weaving friends. They wanted me to work my collage magic, but the pages had be graph …

With Spring comes change

Field of daffodils. The daffodils are out, the pear and apple trees have buds, we still have the heat on; yup, it's spring here, finally. Trillium Winter was not a creative time for me. I felt like I was doing the bare minimum in the studio; just enough to restock at the gallery. I made …

Holiday creating has begun

On November 14, 2020November 14, 2020 By athurber43In Creating, ProductsLeave a comment

Do I write this post every year? I think so. I have begun the Christmas and Holiday creating for 2020. It always feels strange to start pulling out the reds and greens when I'm still wearing shorts to do yard work, and this year is no different, in that respect. I am so thankful to …

It’s been a while . . .

On September 5, 2020 By athurber43In CreatingLeave a comment

I've finally been able to give myself permission to create. All the fear, anger, exhaustion -- was getting to me. It was as if I was feeling so bad, that my mind decided that I had to keep feeling bad. Minds are an interesting place. To think I had to convince myself that I had …

Setting up the studio

On April 17, 2020 By athurber43In Creating, Life in NHLeave a comment

It's finished (mostly). Of course, I still need a door, the outlets need covers, and I need a light -- but other than that -- it is now a usable space. I've even started making some stuff. How fun to set up, uncover, reclaim my supplies. I know there is even more to find. The …

I’ve gone tiny

On April 3, 2020April 3, 2020 By athurber43In Creating, Life in NHLeave a comment

Not sure what prompted this, but I made a bunch of teeny, tiny notebooks. Are the practical? Not really. But it was fun, and kept me occupied for a little while. The words come from this amazing old drawer of rubber stamps I found at a flea market a few summers back. I think I …

Time to read

On March 25, 2020 By athurber43In Creating, Learning something newLeave a comment

Whether we like it or not, that's what a lot of us have on our hands, time to read. We should also be thinking of making time to create, because our brains are surely craving that. I read this. I will read this again. I signed up for the newsletter. I think you should, too. …

Restocking my notebooks

On March 7, 2020 By athurber43In Creating, ProductsLeave a comment

It is a great, and at the same time, stressful feeling to have empty inventory buckets. First, and best, it means -- hooray, you like me, you really like me, and want to purchase my notebooks. Second, it means, it's time to build those stores back up, so get to work! I'm really liking the …

Having visions

On February 28, 2020February 27, 2020 By athurber43In Creating, Life in NH1 Comment

The studio has outlets and a floor! Sometimes you have to imagine, or guess how something is going to turn out. You know what you like, and have an inkling that it will look good, but you really don't know until it's finished whether it's to your liking or not. I am experiencing this phenomenon …
