It's still only August but this morning when I was out running this morning I felt quite a chill in the air. I'm sad to be thinking along these lines already but it felt like the time for more layers is fast coming upon us, so I've taken action today by getting some hoodies onto the website. More to follow. These are pullover hoodies but I'm also going to get some zipped ones online over the next day or two, and there's the option for cropped ladies ones too. Options aren't a bad thing, are they? It's been autumn all year so I suppose a drop in temperature is to be expected after a couple of recent days of sunshine, but kids aren't even back to school yet... What's going on? I'm hopeful anyway that we could yet have an Indian summer.
I recall that I was talking about painting last week, and it's happening, but nothing yet that I'm ready to share. It's a process for me, sometimes I just don't like what I end up with and I'll put it to one side, always with the intention to go back to it at some point, but all too often that doesn't happen. I definitely start much more than I finish - I really ought to try to tackle the pile of unfinished things! I've got plenty of ideas anyway so it's likely I'll just end up starting more new stuff, and eventually I'll end up with something I'm happy with, it does happen sometimes. Collage too - I love picking through old images and trying to weave them together. I've got a couple on the go which just need that something extra. It's an ongoing quest to find the right things to add, but I do have faith it'll all come together.
So that's what's been going on here, lots of things being worked on but not so much getting over the finish line. I guess it's possible it'll all happen at once... In the meantime do let me know what you'd like to see on my website, I'm always listening and it's really important to me to bring you the things you actually want. You can post here in the comments or feel free to drop me a line at caroline@carissimastudio. I'll look forward to hearing from you. Until next time... x
