I so want to order this tape by Rob Ryan, but I'm going to exercise self control. It makes me think back to so many winters past, walking in the cold and snow, thinking about life...
To purchase it, or check out more of Rob Ryan's work, visit his shop here.

This is another one of my favourite photos from A Simple Book. My husband and I bought a full bushel of Cortland apples from a nearby orchard in Meaford in October, and we still have quite a few left. When I was photographing my little apple yarn drawing, it was the perfect setting. I love the combination.
I am also selling some of the yarn drawings from the book here, because they are really cute on their own too!
I have added three new watercolour paintings to my shop! I'm trying to keep busy with making more things and accomplishing more tasks, but I tend to run into a lot of mental road blocks. That, and there never seems to be enough time to do all of things I plan to do. Part of those plans include writing more here in order to set deadlines for myself. Let's see how it goes.
Today is a grey day in Flesherton. It's been hailing, rainy, and snowing. As of right now, it just looks wet. It's really nice heating the house with a woodstove though, because I can sit by it and be warm, but I'm also wishing for more warm sweaters and blankets and slippers. Upstairs in my studio is never quite as warm as sitting by the fire. We have to go pick up our share from our CSA today, but I'd really prefer not to leave the house at all! I must figure out how to get/stay warm.
I am going to start by making pumpkin pie later!
I made this book the other day. It's a concertina binding which I then added a coptic style binding to, to make the spine hold together.
Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of the spine.
My book binding inspiration (and instructions) came from this book. I'm going to try to make some more books this week.
