After an  extended absence I’m feeling the urge to dust the cobwebs from my blog, start writing again, and see what happens…

I’ve been playing around with the templates, which always a good distraction when there’s work needing done, and I’m not sure where to start. No doubt, I’ll be playing around a lot more so it could look weird from time to time as I dive in and change the code (without making a back-up), which isn’t always the best policy if you don’t have any actual computer knowledge apart from what you’ve gleaned along the way…and that could fit on the back of a postage stamp…but, it’s fun, especially when things go strangely right.

Spring is growing up all around. I’m savouring every tulip and daffodil that appears, after the long, seemingly endless Winter we’ve had. The glowing mass of orange/red above was spotted in the park this morning.

I’m full of schemes and plans…but my head still needs more spring-cleaning, so I can make them actually doable.

There are a few things I’ve already started working on. This clutch was a new pattern, quite a simple shape, but bigger than the pouches I’ve made before, so it could be used as a make up bag, or for a night out. I’ll be making more of these and will be updating my shop with more new items sometime next week.

Until then, well this weekend in fact, some of my artworks, textile creatures, dress brooches and purses are available at Frugal Cool’s Spring Eco Crafts Market, at the Loretto Gallery in Musselburgh. This wonderful event is returning to the Loretto gallery after a highly successful and popular fair before Christmas…It’s a pop-up shop full of beautiful hand picked jewellery, fashion, vintage, handmade, recycled, art, fair trade and organic – definitely a great place to find original handmade gifts. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area.
