It’s been busy times around here, I honestly don’t know where the time goes. With my immigration application well underway now I have been starting to wonder how people ever have the time to go to work and do ANYTHING else? I haven’t had the restraints of a workplace tying me down for well over a year now and yet the days still fly on by. I keep hoping that I’ll be able to arrange to work from home to a certain extent when my Visa does come through, but I can’ comprehend how I will ever have the time. I dunno, I’m sure it will work out. Okay, so now I am rambling now…

I started up this post to mention that I have just finished putting together Crystal’s new Art portfolio website, which can be found at www.crystalwalllancaster.com I am pretty pleased with the way it turned out. It is all about the art, so we tried to keep the design and colors pretty minimalist. I think it worked well, go check it out.

Also recently I knocked up a shelf for our studio. It’s been so long since I did any kind if DIY project like this that I forgot that whole “planning” stage. I just went straight to measuring and cutting based on the measurements in my head. As it happened, this worked out just right in the end, but it would have been so much faster if I had sketched it all out on paper first instead of having to work out all the numbers in my head each time I had to make a cut or drill a hole.

I’m pretty proud of it, but all credit has to go to my Dad for teaching me how to do all this stuff. For my next project I’d really like to take on this Four Color T-Shirt Printing Press which I think would be awesome fun. Crystal and I actually bought a mini screen printing kit though, which we haven’t used yet, so I guess I should give that a whirl first, maybe I’ll just put that project on my infamous to-do list. Speaking of T-Shirts, I’ve also, of late, been adding designs to the Spreadshirt Marketplace, so check those out too.

Laters,
Paul
