Yesterday I went to a meet-up in Edinburgh of fellow Etsians - it was interesting and lively and we're talking about forming a new group with a view to doing independent craft fairs in Edinburgh.
If you'd like to join the general UK group, contact me and I'll send you an invitation.
I now have had three projects accepted for publication by a world leader in arts and crafts. Of course it's a secret and I can't post any photos yet. But for sure I'll let you know when.
I've been watching the world's best tennis players on TV and it's hotting up for the final on Saturday. It's wreaking havoc with mealtimes and I had some crisps and a glass (or two) of wine whilst a 4-hour match took place. But the added bonus is that I've lost weight LOL.
Going to make lunch for a dear friend who fell off a ladder and burst her knee - she's full of metal pins and a brace and crutches. I'm sure we've all done the stretching too far whilst up a ladder - makes you think!!
I've been experimenting with my artwork and have created some wallhangings using a monochromatic colour range - black, white and grey. I really like these a lot and it's very different from my previous work - so I'm hoping to be a leader and not a follower (if you get my drift LOL).
I've posted the first one APPLE TREE on Etsy - would love to hear what you think of it!
I've been on a shopping spree for new clothes for the holidays. I'm going to visit my daughter and grandson in Florence then we are all going to Sardinia by ferry. In that kind of heat, only natural fabrics work, so I've bought lovely cotton and linen clothing. The colours this year are very cool greys and stone and of course white. Hoping to be able to wear them at home too, Scotland has had some really hot days this summer...
I'm feeling such an adrenalin rush from a new line I'm developing. It hasn't even been in the pipeline, it just happened. You know how it is, one thing leads to another and bingo - I love these. I'll be posting pictures soon, so just keep me on your radar screen!!
