Running out of Year

at the beginning of the year

when all sorts of interesting possibilities

are on offer

It seems like a really good idea

to say yes

but then if you are anything like me

come the end of the year

when these things inevitably

fall due

you are galloping along

at an extraordinary rate

and yet don't seem to be getting

any closer to a satisfactory conclusion

This week we are moving out of the flat in Albany

It will be lovely to be back in my studio

with all my stuff in one place

the last 9 months have been

a constant frustration

of things being elsewhere

This week I was going to wrap up

my books for BAO

where I have signed up for not 1

oh no that would have been far too easy

but 2 books

that ideally need to be, well gone by now

Book no 2 is finished and no 1 nearly so

my big issue this week is typing up the collophones

which I meant to do on the weekend

but I ran out of time

and the printer

ah that is back home

so all will have to posted on monday

and we know what a crazy day that will be.

and meanwhile I have a lot of cleaning to do

above are some glimpses

of said books

after they have been received

 I will put up more pics

and there will be some

extras for sale

Market Day

and what a beautiful day it was

warm and sunny with a gentle breeze

and us right next to the french pastries!!!

You can just see the wood fired oven in the upper right

and here is the Pastry Chef Xavier and his wife Jeanette

this is later in the day they have sold out

and Jeanette has succumed to a silk shirt

that she had her eye on

a display of naturally dyed cloth

Me!!! in a magazine

Textile Fibre Forum to be exact

So exciting

New Items

Needle Cases and my favourite

Needle Rolls

I made one of these for myself

when I went to Bali

and found it was perfect for travelling

and many skeins of naturally dyed wool

a happy day out was had

much delicious food was indulged in

and I even came out at the end with a profit!!!!
