Perfect ending to the studio tour weekend, talking art with my excellent guest artists Suzanne Crone and Sarah Hall, with the lovely addition of a late visitor who consented to join the crew for stories and theories on the deck.

So much to see on this tour, over 60 artists in multiple disciplines, all around our lovely township and a dance performance in Elgin Park as part of the tour! Details about all of us on our website www.uxbridgestudiotour.com.

A huge thank you to the Mezenburg stone masons and crew who fixed my sculpture. It got damaged in the winter, and had to be carefully taken apart, rebuilt, repointed, and then my little job was to recarve the joints.
I am so grateful for the expertise and patience that these guys brought to this job. Such a relief that this difficult job is now done.

Making new work for the studio tour coming up fast

Making new work for the studio tour coming up fast in September, though this one was made for a friend who requested 'sea colors, beach vibes'. I guess I forgot the sand getting lost in the blues. Always love a fun commission.

Out and about in the township distributing our fabulous Uxbridge Studio Tour maps to our awesome sponsor partners, and decided to multitask...
Got on the Uxbridge Beer and Cider trail: Second Wedge Brewing Co., Banjo Cidery and Slabtown Cidery, then got my favourite cookies from Amina's bakery, stocked up on Cheese at the Passionate Cook Essentials, and some toiletries at the Bridge Social.
Last but not least I dropped in at the best bookshop in Canada - Blue Heron Books. Such a 'chore' delivering studio tour in our awesome township!

Finally done, finally seeing some of these books for the first time in 8 years, finally somewhere to sit again. Windowseats are in!

The two big front planks got sawn from one of our barn beams perhaps 9 years ago, and in my mind, they were tagged for windowseats... before there were these windows... before there was this house. It's good to have a plan, right?

As I finally unpacked the book boxes after 8 years of moving and house building and storing, this photograph fell out of one of them, from installation day for (ironically) a large sundial I carved a decade or two ago in the U.K. And this is why you will never hear me complain about Canadian summers...
