beauty that moves: summer studio

Turning a printer's mistake into bookmarks to include with shop orders. A little thank you!

Working on something many of you have been asking for.

All current orders are on their merry little way!

Proof that Emily's love of HGTV is not just about sitting in front of a screen. ;)

With only two weeks of summer vacation behind us, it is easy to see (and appreciate) the many extra snippets of creative time we manage to fit into our day. We seem to be approaching our days with an easy, summery pace - leaving projects out and at the ready for when we can tend do them. In between a swim at the lake with friends, an air conditioned library visit, a walk with our dog, a trip to the farm, making yet another batch of lavender lemonade... in between it all, we visit the studio for 10 minutes here, 45 minutes there, whenever the mood strikes really. So easily we've adopted our sought after summer groove.

Once a week over the summer I'll share a few glimpses into our weekly studio time (whether we are creating here at home, beachside or deep in the woods, I'll try to capture a few moments along the way). Each Friday I'll post a view into our summer studio and you are cordially invited to stop by for a visit! The idea will be more pictures, less words.

Care to join me? It doesn't have to be on Friday, any day is fine. We like to keep it casual around here for the summer, but do be sure to stop here each Friday to leave a comment linking to your Summer Studio post from the week. Ooh... maybe I could figure out one of those Mr. Linky things I see around. Wish me luck with that. I think I figured it out. You can link up below inviting folks directly to your Summer Studio post each week! Hey, you know, the more I think about it, this could be a really good time. I love peeking into other's creative spaces to see what they are working on. So inspiring!

You may not feel ready (photo wise) to jump in this week, but be sure to join in soon. Maybe you could take a few pics today of what your family has on the work table right now, start there!

I'll go make a button for you to add to your blog. Check back later for it. Fun!
