Thankyou all for your patience and well wishes over this really difficult period. we are now settled into our new place, there are still boxes and paintings stacked everywhere but it is beginning to feel more and more like home. Liam has picked up some extra hours at work and things feel like they may be finally going our way again so I am very happy. especially now that we have web access once more! I think i am addicted, having no internet access was horrible, I felt isolated and lonely and incapable of finding out the most basic things without it!

I am putting together my new studio and getting it all set up, I think it will work very well. it has better storage and sage green walls and perhaps most importantly it looks out onto a private garden, not a new unit’s front door. I think it will be an inspirational space. having spent a lot of time and money restoring the old studio in order to get our bond back, I have been putting effort into making sure we never have to do all that work again. I am covering the walls and the floor and hopefully we won’t have to repaint, resand and refinish the entire room when we move.

things are still a little hectic here but I am going to try and get back to my regular posting schedule soon. now that I have web access I can also do more than twitter my updates so I can fill you all in. thanks again for your patience during this crazy time!
