We've been in our new house in St. Andrew's for 2 whole weeks now, and things are finally settling down a bit. Life out here is certainly going to be different, definitely more peaceful without the city noise and traffic. Our new yard is full of perennial beds, fruit trees, a couple acres of lawn, complete with a little greenhouse, I'll try and fit some bead making in amongst my gardening tasks!

We been enjoying long walks in the evening, the sunset was gorgeous on Clandeboye Road on Saturday...

Work has begun on the new studio...

and will hopefully be done by The Wave tour coming up in June. Currently my studio is in the other garage ...

Yes, that's a car parked in the studio. Not the ideal space, but it will do for now. The main problem is that I can't find many of my tools, books, etc., which leads to giving up, wandering off and gardening instead of working. Not a great time to have creativity issues with both The Wave

and St. Norbert Farmer's Market coming up.

The first market day of the season will be Saturday, June 5, from 8 am to 3 pm. The Wave Studio Tour will follow on the next weekend, Saturday and Sunday, June 12 & 13, check my website for directions to my studio, as well as on The Wave website to locate my studio, and the studios of other participating artists in the Interlake.
