You'll be pleased to know I'm working on a comic using two of the characters from an earlier version of that game RIGHT NOW (it's literally on my desk in front of me as I type). I won't give you any more clues as you'll see it soon enough, but I bet you can guess which characters they are as I loved the pair so much! Also, thoroughly enjoyed learning more about how violins are made. We'll all be experts in theory by the time you're finished!
Oooh I can’t wait to see that - and which grandparents you picked! ❤️ Glad you’re enjoying the violin-making updates - at my current rate of progress there will be many more before I’m anywhere near finished as I’m SO slow! 🎻😂
There’s always so much going on in Story Street! I love reading about all your creative projects Jane and your mum’s papier mache birds are fantastic! I recently got a copy of The Temptation of Mr Rose too, it’s hilarious!
As always, your newsletter is ah-may-zing, Jane! Loved learning about purfling, the lovely books, and your mum's delightful papier-mâché art! Also loved your quilt--I'm truly terrible at bridge shapes, but going to guess Bath, because why not? (It's got a lot of bridges, I feel like?) Regardless, hope wherever you are going, your August is wonderful. Also, I love how your site logo are those sweet trees, and then so much of what you write about has to do with woodwork and paper, and even leaves. :) So lovely how it all kind of organically connects.
Bath is a good guess - where I am also begins with B and has lots of Georgian houses… Will reveal the answer in my next newsletter 😊 Thankyou for all your lovely comments Elayne, and I hope you have a brilliant August!
Great to see all that you've been chiselling and sewing Jane including purfling - gosh, perfectionism de rigeur there! And thank you for the catch up with recent books, yours and those from the Illustrators fair - more temptating purchases!

Ugh I wish I could get that pelican to Tennessee!
Aww my Mum will be delighted to hear her work in in demand internationally!! The pelican has now moved to Wales and is settled by the sea ❤️

I couldn’t stop laughing when I read ‘The Temptation of Mr Rose’… SOOO funny!
Your mum's papier maché creatures are amazing! The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, indeed!
I’ll tell her! ❤️
Lovely to hear what you've been up to Jane!
Thankyou Jo - hoping to join you for some foraging this month! 🥰
I love all the creative projects you have on the go!

Thank you for sharing. I see myself between the lines. The birds are quite lovely.
Thankyou so much Rhiannon! ❤️
I’m always interested in what you’ve been making. This was a fun read. 🥳 Also, loved seeing Ruby Wright’s book here! Can’t wait to read it myself.
Thankyou Erika! Ruby’s new book is GORGEOUS and so clever too!

I am really having to force myself into perfectionism- it doesn’t come naturally at all! Glad you enjoyed the post, Bridget! 🥰
Lovely reading, thank you! And your mum’s creatures ❤️❤️
Aren’t the papier mache creatures an amazing collection!
Always love your newsletters Jane full of so many interesting facts and fun bits and pieces x
Thankyou Tracey! 🥰
