Hello and hello!

Things here at the Toymaker's Workshop have been pleasantly busy. Last month I took part in Inktober, where artists all over the world make a drawing every day. It was an interesting challenge, coming up with a picture to go with the word of the day, lovely words like veil, mask, shade, curiosity and dawn.You can see my efforts here on Instagram if you are curious.

I've also put together a downloadable eBook of decoupage designs. I've been painting little fairy boxes to give as Christmas gifts and thought perhaps other people might enjoy making them too.

So much of my time is spent taking care of my mom who is almost eighty eight years old and running errands, the grocery store, the bank, the post office, zooming around, checking things off my to-do list. I find it comforting to spend at least a little time each day drawing, playing with paper or making something interesting.

So make some time to do something just for yourself, something that makes you feel happy and creative. Let me know what you create!

Best thoughts,

“My wish for you is that you continue.
Continue to be who and how you are,
to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness.
Continue to allow humor to lighten
the burden of your tender heart.”
