First Quarter Check In

Wow, hard to believe it is May already. It seems like I was just writing about my Nature Study goals for 2019. Well, I have completed a number of written entries in a number of locations (including my notebook on the kitchen counter, my actual nature journal, and even in my sketchbook), what looks like 17 or 18 sketches/drawings and taken a large number of photos, some with film and some with digital. (More images coming in a future post)… 

I have only finished the one book, see post Keeping a Nature Journal. However, I am reading 3 different books at once and I have changed 2 of my books for the year. I am removing Richard Louv — The Nature Principle and  Botany in a Day. Instead I am adding

A Sand County Almanac and Sketches Here and There by Aldo Leopold

(Thank you Steven Rinella from MeatEater)  &

John Muir : Nature Writings: The Story of My Boyhood and Youth; My First Summer in the Sierra; The Mountains of California; Stickeen; Essays

I have not had a chance to get out and go on any hikes yet. But alas, the weather has just now finally broke enough that we can go outside and not be cold. In fact it has been in the upper 60’s and 70’s around here the last few days. If only it would dry up enough to get into the garden.

Leave me a comment and let me know how you are coming along with your Nature Goals for the Year so far.

Here are some of my journal entries:

Lucky 7 Studios

The Story Behind Lucky 7 Studios:

I decided it was time to do something I love and am absolutely passionate about. Start my own clothier design business. Check out Lucky 7 Studios to see what  I am talking about. I am so excited to get started. I have my first customer already — when she reaches 100$ in orders, she will receive 1% off her order. And it will follow that way for each customer up to customer 100.

Are you tired of purchasing clothes at high prices and then having to take them to be altered so they fit just the way you want? Are you tired of wanting something special made and not knowing where to go? Do you have an idea for pillows, curtains, etc…. and do not have the skills or time to make them? Well, you have found the right place to come. Quilts, Dolls, Doll Clothes & More (pricing) Design Examples and Options

Each order will receive a written (typed & emailed or faxed) agreed upon work order so there will never be any confusion over the work. If you live in the NE, East Central Ohio or NW, North Central Pennsylvania area, send an email and we can set up an appointment to talk about what you want done. If you are further away, do not worry we can work with you from a distance, across the state, across the US, across the pond, anywhere you are, I can make it work. The Standard Garment Price List is only a guide. Each customer receives an individual quote based solely on their order.

As you are looking through the price lists and other pages associated with Lucky 7 Studios and you are not locating what you are wanting created, do not hesitate to contact me and we can work something out.

Look Book Coming Spring 2019.
