my second show

in an earlier post, I showed photos of the 4 pieces I put into this show

it has started , altho I haven't actually seen it yet

I will see it next weekend at the private view

am so excited to be among these artists - they are all amazing!

AND to be among other textile artists..........(giggle)

this is my new kitchen!

the countertops are bamboo - and the backsplash is "latte" coloured tiles

the floor, which I realise you cannot see, is black granite with gold flecks -

our kitchen is teeny tiny, so we could just about afford that!

(for those US people reading this; our kitchen is probably smaller than your bathroom and I am not kidding!)

we had this all put in while we were in the States

speaking of; my Dad got a sort-of all clear this week

the tumour they had been targeting responded well to the treatment - but his throat is permanently damaged

and makes it difficult for him to swallow sometimes or the liquid feels like it is going down the wrong pipe;

making him choke

he will have more tests on that to see if there is something to help

a few more things they found on his scan need to be looked into - but all -in-all......not bad

my show is going ok - not a huge amount of visitors - sold a few things......

mainly those beautiful felted bags - they are quite the favourite!

also sold a couple of aprons

have had positive comments on my work -

and even a gallery owner wanting something for an exhibition she is planning! so........not a bad result so far

this weekend is the farmer’s market in town and should be sunny - so hopefully that will bring more people in

well.......guess I don't really have much more to say - other than thank you SO much for coming by and have a lovely weekend
