Yes, I know it's an age since I wrote anything, but there has been so much going on.

After Art on the Prom there was a Craft Fair in Aldeburgh, then I closeted myself in the garage almost 24/7 getting ready for the exhibition at Ichameleon. That's a little shop in Halesworth that changes hands each week, giving people like me an opportunity to show their wares. Having exhibited myself there for a week, I trundled back to Aldeburgh this week end for another two days of Craft Fair.

The Ichameleon exhibition was a great success. It was fun dressing the windows and making everything look nice. Better than a table at a craft fair. I always manage to look as though I'm running a car boot. People seemed to like my scarves and wraps and also the new item - felt flowers. These are great to make and I'm pleased with the reception they're getting.

Today I appeared 'on the sofa' on the Lesley Dolphin Show on Radio Suffolk which was slightly nerve racking  beforehand, but seemed to go all right, so I hope that will bring lots of interest too.

Now for the Oscar's bit - get your hankies out:

Thank you Lesley for making it seem so simple and thanks to Darren for setting it up and putting me at ease.

And a big thank you to my friend Dorothy Stewart who was behind it all. Once a journalist, always a journalist it would seem. She organised the publicity and gently bullied me - taking photos and dealing with press releases and so on. Brilliant.

And thank you to Jenny who helped me set up the exhibition at Ichameleon and kept me company through the week, as well as selling loads of stuff.

All those thank you's and I didn't shed a single tear. No Gwyneth Paltrow blubbing for me!

Next thing I'm working towards: Craft Fair at Wissett Wines 28th and 29th November.

    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.
