JOURNALS

Today was quite a whirlwind of activity, with the morning kicking off with a personal commitment but that’s life, right? Sometimes, you’ve just got to juggle. I dropped middle child off at their appointment and once that was sorted, it was a quick dash back to the studio to get things moving along.

The rubber stamping project was top of the list. This involved tweaking the kerning and by tweaking I mean nudging those letters back and forth until they lined up perfectly. All part of making sure things look, well, as they should! While I didn’t manage to get it printed out right away, which was tempting, I’ve decided not to be distracted, at least not today. Tomorrow's going to be strictly studio work with no morning dabbling in personal projects.

Of course, my afternoon was spent immersed in the Digital Lifeboat stub pages, as you do. It was pretty satisfying to give the project a proper kick-off. It’s thrilling to see the pieces come together, aligning with my goal of maintaining high-quality work standards. The path is clearer now, and although it's not there yet quality-wise, progress is being made.

Managing my energy through the day was a bit of a dance. Armed with too much caffeine perhaps, which had me feeling a touch wired, it's easy to end up crashing later, but who hasn’t been there? At least I managed to steer clear of unhealthy snacks.

Altogether, I'm seeing the bigger picture come together. Between the rubber stamping progress and the better understanding unfolding in studio projects, there's a sense of accomplishment riding the currents. The day has wrapped up on a warmer note, which is rather friendly for March, and tomorrow? More studio time.

And on the softer side of things, those little gratitude moments are significant. Stamp holders fresh off the 3D printer, warmer temps making the studio just right, and having the space and time to delve into projects as deeply as I did today. Tomorrow's another day to carve out small wins.
