Last Vestiges

A token snowfall
a sprinkling of powder dust
that soon melts away
and leaves behind
puddles in the sidewalk cracks
A golden brown leaf
forms a spot of color
emerging in the empty space
a last vestige of fall
soon to be forgotten.

Last Vestiges

The above piece was December’s art card, and the last new design crafted in my soon to be empty studio.  My crazy space split between two flights of stairs, where the needed tool somehow always managed to be on the other level.  My dynamic space, surrounded by artwork and inspiration and lists and lists of things to be made and done.  My useful space, with its ever-growing collection of routers and compressors and bits of helpful things.  My space that I’m shutting down for the first time in a dozen years ~ a thought that sends a ping of anxiety bouncing through me.

Moving is a bit daunting.  I like to keep all Helpful Things at arms length — hiding them in boxes goes against my nature.  But I will be back up and running soon enough, and the useful things will find new places to call home… and so will I.  I can’t wait to share the new space with you, and all of the wonderful new pieces that will be created there.

Until then, hugs to everyone this holiday season ~

Chris
