Sugar Lump Studios

Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{Making Cards…}

January 12, 2017

January is already slipping away, and the weather has been more then strange here. I actually had thunderstorms in my state last night. Lot of cold, rain, snow, ice, and well a good time to stay in and create. I am still making cards and tags because it seems to be what I can do creatively. I desperately want to sew, but sewing (especially hand sewing) is much different for me since the stroke.

My studio is quite different now. I have not completely gotten the grove of it yet, and that plays havoc with creation (at least I think). I moved some things a few weeks ago and it seems to help me. I had a little area before (one 1/2 of my former bedroom) and now I have a master bedroom to create in. It is actually too big for me. :-) Still tweaking it and hope to show it at some point.

About Sugar Lump Studios

I am a dabbler. I love to create using all sorts of mediums...pattern papers, stamping, fabric, assemblage, collage, altered art, a never ending smattering of whatever strikes my fancy in whimsical moments. I find creating allows my soul to be fulfilled and love to spend hours in the studio.

    Happy new year Nancy :)

    Love your cards, such sweet images.

    We’ve had our first snowfall of the season overnight and it’s bitterly cold here in the UK. Roll on spring! xx

    We have chosen to use our master bedroom as our creative space, too. We had to combine craft space and sewing/quilting space. We probably should have put it all in the big living room!!! Before we moved, we down-sized quite a bit, but we still feel a little stuffed in. There are two of us who use the space. We even have an en suite — what better way to wash our brushes and hands.

    I love your Valentine crafts. They are sure to bring someone some joy.

    Lovely cards Nancy! I’ve been cleaning out my studio and started making some cards myself. Trying to use some of the pretty scrapbook papers that I’ve accumulated over the past few years, not to mention so many embellishments. You will get used to your new space soon. And I know that I owe you an email! Have a great week, Sue
