I’ve just had a lovely short break at The Manor House Arts, Crafts and Sports Hotel near Okehampton in Devon. It is a great place to experiment and have a go at new crafts or sport with tuition provided, without worrying if you’re going to be any good. In fact it’s where I did glass …
Firstly I’m sorry I didn’t get round to writing a post on Friday but my exciting news is that my glassware will be available to buy in Quay Presents, down on the Quay in Exeter, very soon. I’m so pleased to have found another outlet quite quickly after Exetra closed. My space in the shop …
I wanted to write a blog today as I have some special offers in my shop but I’ve had little inspiration on what to write. I’m sure other people have the same problem, so this will be a short post! My offers are because it’s my birthday this week 🙂 and by Friday I may …
Decided to do a Folksy Friday blog today. It is inspired by my first attempt at painting a horse, as mentioned in my last post, although a loose connection! I’m pleased with him and feel that I got the mane right in the end. So my theme for today is brown. I did say it …
Today I just had to reblog this, great way of recycling.
This week I’ve painted a couple of new candle holders. The first one was inspired by a glass I painted that has had quite a few favourites in my Etsy shop and been featured in a treasury (Treasury). It is of black cats and what I hadn’t anticipated is of course it fits the halloween …
With the strange weather we’ve had I’m only now able to tell if my sunflowers will be monster ones again. I can report that 2 of the surviving ones will definitely have multiple flowers but the plants are no way near as big as last years at the moment. The flowers are not even out …
It is blissfully quiet at my house today and I just realised why. The baby seagull has stopped squawking and is learning to fly – yipee! It is obviously so pleased with itself that it no longer needs to be twittering for it’s mum. I managed to get a photograph of one of its mini …
My blog today includes some of my favourite things I’ve found on Folksy. There are too many to list, so this is a very small selection! Brooch from Ellie’s Treasures Little Dotty Jewellery Acrylic painting on canvas by GweddusArt Isle of Wight Clock by Dew Drop Crafts
I’ve had a few days away, hence not writing a blog earlier this week. The break was good, I didn’t touch a computer for 3 days! Sadly this very hot weather doesn’t suit me though, so for 2 days of the week I’ve done nothing having zero energy. I had hoped to do an open …
