Goodbye, February
Here and there this month. I was going to say that I wouldn't miss February a bit, as it's been the most miserably long and snowy winter that I can remember. But then I thought of this show at the Lamont Gallery, coffee at Book & Bar and new ideas/fresh inspiration.
So I guess the shortest month wasn't a total wash-out after all.
Weekending
What's what:
* I've caught the weaving bug (seemingly, like half the internet). This tutorial is a terrific jumping off point.
* The film Haute Cuisine is delightful. But be forewarned, it'll make you ravenously hungry.
* Lost and Found: The Search for Harry and Edna is my favorite corner of the Internet at the moment.
Finals Week
I've been working on this in fits and spurts since December and am inclined to believe it's somewhere near finished at present. Watercolor, graphite, colored pencil, washi tape and general photoshoppery.
Valentine's Printable
Happy (almost) Valentine's Day. Here's a PDF printable, perfect for classmates, coworkers and/or your top-secret crush. Enjoy!

Green + New
Snowed-in again and a brutal case of cabin fever has me ready to climb the walls. So what's a girl to do? Re-design her website, that's what. I've added a few new pieces, updated the book list and dusted off the pixels in general.
Snow and Sundry Other Things
* Blizzards and book sketches have had me in mole mode as of late. Ergo, there's been many cups of this tea.
* I'm completely obsessed with Natural Companions, by Ken Druse. I've been using it for reference material -- it's a goldmine of botanical images.
* Anyone else watching the absolutely delightful Grantchester?
* And I'm planning a craft night, tentatively for March, at my studio. Local (i.e, Seacoast New Hampshire/Southern Maine) and interested? Drop me a line at abigail@theodesign.com and I'll keep you in the loop!
