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 …

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 …

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 …

The new space!

On January 24, 2020 By athurber43In Creating, Life in NH1 Comment

The mudding of the sheet rock is looking great! I can now see how I can use this space. It's getting me all motivated and stuff. Things I'm thinking about: Moving all my supplies upstairs. Getting a DJ set up and playing around. I may have watched a lot of Hip Hop Evolution on Netflix …

Card writing season?

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

It's cold, you're stuck inside, you just can't scroll through Pinterest anymore. Let's embrace a long-loved pastime, letter writing! I try and send birthday cards to my friends and family (mostly on time) and I enjoy the thought of them getting a little love in the mail box close to their special day. But, what …

Happy Holidays!

On December 24, 2019 By athurber43In Life in NHLeave a comment

This year, we are exploring what Christmas in a renovation zone is like. What have we found? It can still be as magical and as full of friends and family as it usually is -- it's just a little more dusty than usual. Stamps by Tim Holtz and Stampin' Up. Well, it's a lot more …

This week’s work

On November 14, 2019 By athurber43In Creating, Life in NHLeave a comment

I'm getting a studio!!!! Have I shared that our house is under renovation? Like, tear a third of the house down, renovation? Well, it has made creating a bit of a challenge. Lots of stuff is packed away, and my regular creating space no longer exists. All this is to move into bigger, brighter, and …

Here we go!

On August 30, 2019 By athurber43In Life in NHLeave a comment

The renovation of our kitchen begins tomorrow! I am excited, terrified, stressed out, and grateful. We've waited a long time to start (maybe too long) this project. A few things left to move. Renovation may be an understatement. We are demolishing an addition from the 1920s, putting in a foundation -- it was all the …
