Sunday, October 13 2013. Fun
You'd think that relaxation for me would not involve working with textiles and colour, but it does. I've been taking a class at our local Leisure Centre in printing. We are printing on to all types of things, but mostly onto paper and fabric. And I am loving it! Those who know me know very well […]

I was lucky enough to have the help of Dorothy on my stand on Saturday. The event lasts 3 days, and the days are very long, so I was a little worn […]

Fortunately we're in a position to do that, as if there is a dry spell during the day we can both sneak off with the dogs for a quick walk without feeling guilty about leaving work undone, as we […]

At Woolfest a lot of attention was paid to the samples that I had on the stand of Colour Affection and Stripe Study. Most folk who looked at them loved them, although some found their off-centre design a little hard to like. I put together some packs of colours which I thought went together well, […]
