If you've been paying any attention to the studio via social media or otherwise this past year, you've noticed that things have come to a bit of a stand-still in terms of progress. The delays have been largely out of my hands which is frustrating but I feel as though things are back on track since the new year!Lest anyone think I've been loafing in the interim I'm putting together a series of posts titled Side Hustle to illustrate what it takes to keep things afloat when the build doesn't go your way. In this entry: What's Pink and Grey and Rides All Over?If you've been out on the street in Toronto at some point in the past few years,...
Who needs a hot shop with this weather? Wow! For once I'm not feeling the pressure to light that furnace up.

Hiya! I missed a couple posts this month but I have a good excuse I swear! May seems to get crazier every year as more and more May babies (aside from myself) come into my life. Essentially the past few weeks have been a non-stop birthday party for young, old and newly born. Now that it's over, it's back to the wonderful grind of launching this studio! The best part of the month was visiting the Grand Trunk Railway Tunnel (aka The Blue Ghost Tunnel) of St. Catharines with my lady; the lovely Lana Filippone (another Taurean) for her birthday (she's a brave one).
