Summer is here, the trees are green, and so is the new typecase! Last weekend, I visited my parents in Delaware, we took a walk in Brandywine Creek state park. I live in South Philadelphia, where apparently they hate trees for reasons I will never understand. Going to Delaware is a nice change.
Last month was very productive. I spent a lot of it cleaning and rearranging the studio, which certainly is looking better than before. I also made my first test print on the press. To give you an update on the press, all that needs to be done now is
- reattach the feed boards
- figure out where it's going to sit in the studio
- plug it in!
I'm so happy I bought these type cases. I didn't really have the room for them, but now that I've sold my old typecase and the galley cabinet, I know I made the right decision. Look at all that wood type!
Things are looking pretty good. There's days where I feel completely overwhelmed, but I know I'm doing something right. I just need to be patient.
That's where I live too! It's kind of ridiculous how the heat is worse only in that neighbourhood, and a ten minute walk north will get you out of it... Plus being from Canada I am used to milder summers.
ReplyDeleteIt's true, it really is hotter in South Philly. Thanks for reading, Aprile.
