Spring Cleaning!
It's has been a rather industrious Spring so far - and not in the usual way my Marches and Aprils go.  Its been 10 years since I set up on my own in the studio on Granville Island and I decided that things needed sprucing up - as well as furniture relocated in order to accommodate the contents of my ridiculously expensive (think Vancouver real estate costs!) storage locker.  Anyway this week should mark the final stage of the "smartening up" of the space and I am really pleased with the way things...
