Run-on sentence, sorry. This wraps up most of the major renovations we are doing, so it feels good to have things in their place. We’ll be doing little things here and there (I can’t help myself) so I’ll continue to post updates when I get a chance.

Don’t worry, my silence and infrequent posting hasn’t meant that I’ve stopped functioning. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Because the major project I’m working on at the moment is on the down low (not my choice, sorry!) and is on a tight deadline, I haven’t been able to share what I’ve been working on over the past several weeks. Before I head to bed I thought I’d share this quick sketch from a few weeks ago, and I didn’t even fix the smudges.</p> <p>There are so many exciting things around the corner in the new year that I can hardly wait to share them. We’ll all just have to be patient. I hope everyone is going well — lots to come very soon! xoxoxox</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jonknox/~4/-ss8sR-S4lY" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/jonknox/~3/-ss8sR-S4lY/37543427218http://blog.jonknoxstudio.com/post/37543427218Sun, 09 Dec 2012 00:50:35 -0800http://blog.jonknoxstudio.com/post/37543427218<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_me2awxxKoS1qzh3yko1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Gettin’ festive up in here!</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jonknox/~4/SlguVlEx1e4" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/jonknox/~3/SlguVlEx1e4/36537806263http://blog.jonknoxstudio.com/post/36537806263Sun, 25 Nov 2012 13:12:00 -0800http://blog.jonknoxstudio.com/post/36537806263<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdk0hasR7E1qzh3yko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Some of you might know that baking is my favorite hobby and I’ve been posting a lot of my cakes on <a href="http://instagram.com/jonknoxstudio" target="_blank">my Instagram account</a>.
