Busy - and cold!
Picture
After saying that I was going to blog more often, I have failed dismally. Wasn't well after Christmas and what with the snow and so on, as I work in the garage, it hasn't been much fun. Have taken over the dining table and am felting again with quite good results.

It was nice to get back to work. Felt a bit frustrated for a while and now I am back with a vengeance. Several pieces completed, which is good because I have to organise myself for the year ahead. One or two are a bit weird - that comes of having too much time to sit and think about what I am doing: the ordinary suddenly develops an arm or a leg or gets even more holes than my usual stuff. Still it's good to be back at it.

It is felt that is drawing me at the moment. The silk feels a little ordinary - I don't seem to have the initiative to embellish it in the same way as the felt. Perhaps because I am off beading - I noticed that none of the silks I have on the website contain beads, which just goes to show you can miss something that obvious until you have a rest and go back.
Interesting.

Today, it is very sunny and quite warm. Such a change and it gives me a real lift. I am not a snow person and was getting quite down with all that white stuff and the cold. Even the Winter Olympics made me feel chilly!

I will try to be back tomorrow. Thanks for reading, if you have been.

    I live in Suffolk with my husband John, where I paint in the garage and write in a cupboard - that's where the computer lives.

    Suffolk is on the east coast of England for those not familiar with the place, where the wind is called 'lazy' because it blows right through you, rather than going round.

    I ran a shop in Southwold for a number of years, selling through there as well as at local craft fairs, such as Heveningham and Halesworth, but have also exhibited wall hangings all over the place, mostly at Southwold's Buckenham Galleries, The Works at Beccles and more recently at Halesworth Gallery.


    2009 Was a good year with a solo exhibition at Ichameleon in Halesworth - a good venue, which I shall be repeating in October 2010. Lots of Craft Fairs and lots of talks to interested groups like WI and Art Societies which are always good fun. Thanks to all who invited me last year - I'm looking forward to several for this year and even for next year already.
