JOURNALS

Another work week has flown by, and it’s been quite a productive one at the studio. I managed to wrap up the elusive file exporting feature I was tackling, which feels like a small victory. Having tools that work seamlessly with the digital daybook is vital for keeping everything efficient, so seeing it function as intended brought a sense of relief and accomplishment. I told myself I’d finish the newsletter amidst the chaos, and lo and behold, it happened. Productivity win!

The weather in the studio decided to surprise me with a burst of warmth, taking the temperature to a luxurious 14 degrees—a real highlight as it allowed me to shed the extra layers and work comfortably. It’s minor, but it’s amazing how much a warm studio can lift the spirit when you're battling the chill on most days.

I explored the world of flow fields again, which produced pleasing results. This experimentation adds depth to my projects. I plan to expand it into a larger piece come Monday. The little victories keep adding up. Today’s balance felt spot-on: I closed the week on a high with achievements and creative experimentation.

The weekend ahead promises relaxation. Our plan is to sort out Nixie’s craft room downstairs. It’s been a long season of organisational endeavour, yet we've still got some way to go. But with the weekend set aside, maybe we’ll finally get it to a functional spot for her.

Reflecting on today, I am grateful for the small things. Warm studio temperatures, the ever-reliable 3D printer that’s made my organisation dreams come true, and the comfort of a heated blanket during these colder days. It's satisfying to know that when Monday rolls around, I’ll be diving back into a studio that feels just a bit cosier and more efficient than before.

Until Monday, I’ll relish the downtime, regroup, and recharge.
