Rites & Rituals
Apparently I have at least two half-term rituals. Going to ArtBase for a major shop and building furniture.
I had not one but two loyalty cards to redeem at Artbase, so I snuck in quietly and filled a basket. Shockingly, I rarely buy cardstock, but I have been on such a green-pink-purple kick that I had to break down and replenish my paper rack. Plus lots of other things. (No, I don’t know why I needed a giant ampersand, but I just do. Actually, that is entirely how I shop for supplies and it works for me.) Emma (on the right in the photo) said she had been missing blog updates (I really need to put up an ‘I’ve moved’ sign over at the old blog!) so I promised her I would blog her! Maybe, just maybe, she’ll come out of her hiding place and say hello in the comments.
So now my shopping is waiting patiently to be unpacked while I finish building and painting my new studio furniture.
There will be pictures, oh yes. It might finally look like I’ve always wanted it to look. Which would be a fabulous, fabulous thing.
{And before you say anything about that awful carpet, please remember that this place is rented! Actually, I’m hoping not much of the carpet will be visible by the time I finish. The carpet is the same throughout the entire place and it really drags the life out of me.}

It all looks so wonderful. I recently went on a trip to Artbase and can say happily that I am working on filling up my first card. Yeah! and now on to more important things… For example- when do you want to get together and play?

Oh how great to see this. On my trip to London in september I went to Artbase for the first time and spent quite a few pounds, so familiar faces there :) Enjoy your purchases and good luck with your new studio, I envy you!

Yummy goodies there Shimelle!!
As for the carpet..wot can I say. The joys of renting mean you suffer other peoples wall & carpet taste. With rooms as large as mine, I ain’t replacing I’d need to own the bank!!!

OOOOh I love Artbase! (and they have one at Lakeside which is very handy!!) I’m going to Hornchurch tomorrow to stock up – If you’ve left anything in the shop for me to buy! :o) I noticed the Celebration book in your goody bag – Let us know what its like – the others in the series are lovely – I’m going to pick up the Home Decor issue.

Makes me homesick. I miss Art Base. Good to see Emma and John again. Always the highlight of my month to make a trek to Art Base. Looks like you found some great stuff, Shim. Can’t wait to see your studio.
