The studio will get a little dustier in the meantime. At the top of the pile is the latest version of "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" - unfinished. I just ran out of time - getting the science editing journal to the printers had to take precedence. Another day would have done it, but.... Next time.
Now the studio contains just about everything I need to make anything - or maybe I'm just getting used to working with what I have. Because of working on the journal right up to the wire, I haven't had time to sort out a handwork project to take along. But I don't need to leave home till 6.20 am -- and the night is young -- I'm all a-twitter with the anxiety that wells up before any trip (not a happy traveller).
Looking forward to seeing family and friends, bike rides along the river, blueberry picking...even a bit of sewing, with any luck.
Behind "the road to hell" are other, smaller, attempts at the subject, and the golden patches to the right are part of a larger attempt. On the design board are two batik pieces from Els van Baarle's workshop at FoQ a couple of years ago -- they started out as prints done in a workshop with Carole Waller at West Dean. Going to workshops is definitely my favourite kind of holiday.

oh dear, dear. You're coming all the way to canada - and yet it's the other side of the country. Hours & Hours flight away from me. Such a pity.
Hope you're having a Marvellous and wonderful time.
