My studio has officially been moved and althou the space has a bit less natural light than my last one, it does have more space. I'm beginning to feel settled and happy here. 

need to get some new art up on the walls!

*

I get to have Rosemarie visit on the days that she does not go to day care and decides she actually wants to live her role as CEO of rose : joe.

RJ questions the Fall color palette...

*

I'm also close enough to the mothership that I can help Tim when requested and I even have a new office assistant! 

I'm hoping to train her to do shipping and receiving!

Penny on the job.

This is where we are - right now. Lots ahead. All good.

3 more upcoming craft fairs for rose : joe and I need to focus on creating some new art work. I need somewhere between 20 - 30 pieces for the show!

Maybe Penny would rather learn to collage......
