the show!

today is the big day;

Artwave Open Studios

it is even partly sunny out (well, not raining at least)

so I could hang a few of the aprons outside.....

hoping to lure in a few people to look at all the lovely things me and my friends have been putting together!

teacup candles and cakestands

aprons and beautiful felted bags

view from my desk

see anything you like?

more felted bags

(the colours are a lot more beautiful in person and oh..........so..........soft)

view from the door as you walk in

and; just to make it even more special; Morris Men at the pub across the street!!

I love me some Morris Men!!

seriously......I am serious.......am also not British - my British friends heap scorn upon them -

I think they are fantastic

(for you non-British people; Morris Men are traditional folk dancers that go around......usually to pubs and dance - they have all sorts of costumes, usually with bells on their ankles - some of the dances have them hitting sticks together..there is a hanky swinging one -not sure what that is all about)

but..it is just good fun!

hope everyone else is having a fun weekend -

Monday is a holiday here too, so seems as tho everyone is out enjoying themselves

makin aprons

I have been busy makin aprons.......they seem to be taking longer than they should; altho that might be due to coffee drinking.......gasman arrival-waiting.........gasman taking several hours to fix boiler.......checking emails.......chatting.......putting up flyers for the Artwave show......etc!

so, I just need to add a few more pockets to the blue ones and then maybe either add a fabric flower or some vintage buttons to the pockets - and they are finished

I also need to finish the red-winged blackbird and the goldfinch that I have started - and hopefully a few more by the time the show starts

in between all this, I have a big digital print job to do (which will pay my studio rent!) and another freelance job which I think will be easy to do while I sit in my studio waiting for people to come by

tomorrow, I have a meeting with a woman who saw my work at the Artist United show and wants to see more of my work and talk about participating in some exhibitions!

wow.........hopefully I will have some good news with that

hope you all are having some good weather and good inspiration!

thank you so much for your comments and coming by to see what is going on.......

oh! I have one question; I have never seen these Nanny McPhee movies........but the little I have seen,

reminds me of my favourite books as a child; Mrs Piggle Wiggle

is there a similarity?
