a little more spangle

so what happened in austin? most significantly I got really affirmed as an artist - as someone meant to be creating art. since I can remember I wanted to be an artist, but that desire always came with a bunch of issues why it shouldn't/wouldn't/couldn't work. not so anymore. I really feel like I'm meant to be making art, and fran is 110% behind me doing that - even if it means living on a small budget for a while. so that's what I'm going to be doing.

one thing I felt coming back was that we really needed a bigger place - a better place for me to create in and a real spare room for our soon to be guests. without moving or paying more rent that's happening - by moving my art space upstairs, which leaves much more room in our 2nd bedroom for fran to sew (and leave threads all over the floor without driving me nutty!) and for guest's space including a little side table and comfy armchair. it also means I'm in a more sociable space and have the great views from our balcony next to me. I'm really chuffed as our place is great in many ways and moving/finding tenants to take over our contract would have been demanding.
