mixed-tape monday: a little of this and that

I've hit a bit of a lull, studio-wise. Not a lot of work on the calendar (though there is a lot of prep to do, the deadlines aren't soon enough to make me panic!), so I'm spending my days leisurely...

...and Monday was no exception. With a sky like that, who wants to be inside?

I did work on the press for a few minutes, proofing vintage copper cuts for a client.  Then back to staring at the sky!

mixed-tape monday: stationery show!

So much to show you, but it will all have to wait! New York, here I come!

mixed-tape mondays: coming or going?

Today was a not-quite-sure kind of day.  I packaged up a few custom orders, but couldn't get started on the next round.  I got some good news, and then some bad news.  The world might be falling apart at the seams, but then people get together and do lovely things.  New England is having a snowstorm on the first day of spring|, but that means the sap will run for a bit longer and my family might get another sugaring weekend. 

It's about time for me to be getting ready for the big event this May, but I just can't seem to find the balance and motivation to move forward.  If you've got any get-out-of-a-funk cures, please share!

mixed-tape mondays: late nights

Usually I try to be cheerful on the blog (lots of exclamation points! exciting things happening!)...and lots of good things did happen today.  But now it's just after 11 pm, and after twelve hours at the studio, I'm beat.

Around 8pm I was totally in the groove, listening to one of my favorite audiobooks, and sewing up the last few albums for a big order heading out to Greenwich Letterpress.

They look pretty awesome all lined up like that, and when I think of how many hours went in to each step of each one, I do smile (just a little).  And then, with a big yawn, I say goodnight!
