Icy icy cold out there, this January morning.... it's not always like this at the start of the year, I remember mild Januarys.... A good Monday to you and thanks to all the artists and photographers featured here in my first mosaic of the year. Fewer images this week as I have spent less time looking at Flickr - there is no lack of inspiration there, believe me, just had less time on the computer.....

This week, like many around the world, I am getting back into the routine after holidays.... routine can be a dull word but only if you let it, so I'll say it with gladness and hope.... I'm grateful to have my things to do, and glad to be starting on my year of daily drawings. The drawings - may they be pencil, monoprinted ink, stitched - are added to my Etsy shop as part of the daily process.... I don't have a set time for adding work, it will be there some time each day. I'll post a quick twitter when it's done - my twitter is novembermoon.

Novembermoon... remember I had a blog/site of that name? I had plans to make it into a gallery/archive, but time has gone by....... I have had that email saying you have x number of days until the domain needs renewal and I am not sure if I will renew. I may just let it go. I don't need novembermoon.com to be novembermoon..... I started using my own name on things rather than novembermoon. It was a shift that felt right. But I am both and so....

This week I am completing work for my own shop update - Wednesday 6th. My plan is to update that shop on a monthly basis, adding to it a variety of work. This month I will be offering yesterdays dolls, stitched & mixed media work. Perhaps a few chairs:)

Ah the sun is coming out...... the frosted sprinkling of snow looks pretty in the light. Must order more bird food from RSPB. Better get on with my day's work...... have a very good week x
