Yup. It's important to take yourself out to the cafe as much as you can. Refreshes the batteries, nice seeing the peoples out and about, including yourself. 
Work in the studio requires time inside the work and time to expand out into the world, always a good balance. 

Hope you have time to get out and take a break today.

In the middle of things, there is always time to do new work.

Hope your day finds you able to create.

We have been working both at the studio and at the house.

The ease of going back and forth between both places, as well as the work, has made it fun this week.

Two sets of new steps are being made for the front porch, with the first set almost completed today, means we'll have the work completed by Wednesday.

Creativity takes all forms. Hope you are having a creative day.

Happy to say we have our latest book, "Taking Up Space" (160 pages), available.
From now on all our books are available as eBooks for the iPad as well,
and at $6.99 a copy it's a wonderful deal.

For those of you who work in a studio, you know what it means to be able to get out for awhile and take a break...not from creating, because that is always on-going, but just a shift in environment, and change of atmosphere.

Today we are at a cafe. Creating. Painting, drawing, and writing, and with the sounds of people around us, it is refreshing to feel the hustle and bustle of other activity around us.

Hope you are able to take a break from what you're doing and get out for awhile.

This time of year, with the flowers beginning to appear here in the Northeast,
always inspires the creative spirit.

We are excited about this new work we are creating and the direction it is taking us. Our work always surprises us, and informs us, and guides us through the creative expression, as we open ourselves to the mystery within it.

May your day provide you with a renewed creative spirit.
