Hello! I am so happy to be writing this and the birds are chirping, snow is melting, and sun is shining. It really was hard the past few months when “winter” really hit here. It also wasn’t much fun if I did get out using a cane in the snowy, icy, yucky mess. Isn’t it nice to go outside even if the grass isn’t green and breathe the fresh air? I’m just sharing so random things from my life the past few weeks here as most of my art gets started…but never completed at this point.

This jar in my studio area will be filled with random baby shoes. The pair you see was given to me by Terri Heinz of Artful Affirmations last December and I adore them.

My daughter moved back home 2 weeks ago, and things are more chaotic in some ways around here. I am very happy she is here even though we are on opposite schedules. She has moved into the basement, and let’s just say it was a mess down there before she even came. I am looking forward to having her here and so far we ventured to Joann Fabrics to pick out this fabric for a skirt I am trying to sew for myself.

I recently acquired my Dad’s signet ring and am so thrilled. I’ve admire it ever since I was a little girl, and was so pleased that it fits my finger so perfectly. I love heirlooms and this one has to be in my top of things inherited.

Instagram continues to be a source of fun for me because things can be posted so quickly there. If you have an account…I’d love if you would follow me: instagram.com/sugarlumpstudios

I hope it is spiffy and springy wherever you are! :-)

    So happy to read you are out and about. I also will be truly happy when Winter releases its grip 100%. And it’s always wonderful having the children around, no matter how old they are. Hugs to you. Pat.

    aaah so glad the coming Spring is putting an added “spring” in your steps Nancy! Despite an adjustment for both you and your daughter I’m sure it’ll all work out fine. That fabric is gorgeous, and how lucky you are to own your father’s special ring. Sorry I can’t follow-I don’t any kind of ‘I” product.

    So glad Spring has sprung in your neck of the woods Nancy so you can get out and enjoy the lovely weather. it’s starting here as well, woo-hoo! Love those wee baby shoes and how wonderful to have your Dad’s ring that fits you perfectly, it was meant to be. It will be wonderful for you to have your daughter close, I am sure she is very happy as well to be back home with you. I’m a dinosaur and don’t have a ‘device’ so not on Instagram I’m afraid but will continue to follow you here. Healing energy still flowing your way. Enjoy your spiffy Spring!
