So today is New Year's Eve and it's snowing like crazy outside.  We are going to a friend's house this evening and hopefully the snow will stop before then.  I did manage to get into my studio this morning and work on the picture currently on my easel.  I recently tidied the studio and laid out all the new pastels that I was given for Christmas - it's all very organized now - a far cry from the situation before the big tidy-up!
