a trail of red tulips in our petite backyard forest - from the Polaroid archives

How's that for a hit of red ? Ahhh the ever so saturated colour of a polaroid photo.

Just what a girl needs on this first day of April here in the lands of still white and icy and cold. I bet it's no surprise to find out that red is my most favourite colour. A favourite design colour - not necessarily a colour I would wear often or a colour that I would decorate with - a la walls or even throw pillows but if you take a stroll through my etsy shop ... well ... you'll find lots O' red there.

I'm in the midst of (potentially) two new and quite large ($$=sound sleep) projects for customer No. Uno, I have a little typographic homework this week, from my high school art class volunteering - I'm making two small headers for displays using hand cut letters (a current fav of mine). 'Tis the month of tax time (groan), and I'm a bit in overwhelm over all the scattered bits and pieces and different directions my CE* has taken lately and I must reel those bits in, make a few big lists and get that exciting and ever growing side of my life organized. Maybe I can convince one of the invisible mute valets to help out.

It's been a slumpy kind of week here at 29 Black Street. Those weeks happen - best just to keep on keepin' on, breath deeply and try not to ponder too much. Les secret of my success. Wink. Woke up to what I suspected would be another ho hum, slumpy day again today only to find (dans la world of Blog) that We have been mentioned again on another tres fantastic design blog - seymour cornelius. Hooray! and Merci! Turned everything around this morning that did ! Turned Ho Hum ! into Lets' Get a Goin' Girlfriend ! It is such fantastic validation that I'm on the right track with my slowly growing, bit by bit, Creative Empire ... Hooray !
