House of Blues

Look what I found in the vegetable patch when I was planting peas! This little blue house. I want to live there but failing that I’m going to see if Helen can drill a hole in it to make a necklace…

So… the winner of the book ( drawn from a Tyrolean shepherd’s (?)hat by Sara ) is Melissa. Thank you to everyone who left a comment and to all those who looked. I hope you’ll keep checking back.

I’ve finished a design today, the first for quite a while. Getting back in to the swing of things hasn’t been easy but the threat of all those fantastic new graduates thundering up behind me means I have to keep going and try even harder to produce some work that will sell and save me from being an eternal barmaid!

Tomorrow it’s my birthday so keep your fingers crossed that it turns out nice.

Thanks again.

Saint George’s Day

 

Hello, today is St.Georges Day and also my birthday which I am about to celebrate with a pink moon biscuit from Botham’s in Whitby, sent to me by my good friend Helen whose lovely Etsy shop you can visit by going to www.Etsy.com/HelenHats .She uses sea glass to make beautiful jewellery as well as recycling wool to make hats and hooded jumpers.( see pictures above)

I still can’t upload images from my home on the hill so here is another link to look at until i can get back to modern technology.
Hugh Dunford-Wood www.Handmadewallpaper.com is an artist and designer now making hand printed wallpapers and running courses down on the south coast. I used to do freelance work for him, painting silk, way back in the colourful 90’s.
Now its time to get on with a bit of work of my own…
