TOO MUCH TO DO AND NO TIME TO WRITE!

What have I been up too? since I last posted?

Come back from Loch Fyne and a great relaxing holiday…beat janice 9 times out of 11 at scrabble!

Have sorted out my teaching at Langside college

Have made two commissions (scarves) and finished off portrait commission.

Have been to cinema twice with tootsie, wallee (rubbish) and space monkeys(better if slightly)

Have decided to do 2 craft fairs if poss one at Byblos glasgow 27th sept and other at lighthouse 27th oct

Have also decided to embelish small cotton bags as well as cashmere scarves -brains a buzzing with all my thoughts whizzing around at a million miles an hour… have also been watching what I eat and have lost 7lbs this week! amazing really…..

Got tootsie her new gymshoes for her new class tomorrow and also nursery starts for her too in the afternoon

write soon once I’ve calmed doon a bit!

Martin Creed at Tate Britain

Amazing…saw  5 runners doing the installation this morning…couldn’t beievehow fast they were running! Tootsie was gobsmacked! “man running mummy”….’anuver one mummy’

loved it….lots of tourists behind me saying ‘i just don’t get it!’

Dolphin Square

Been staying in dolphin sq which is amazing experience! The wee one has loved it here in london…she’s been great -walking loads and become an expert on london play parks! Been to see lots of friends while here  .yesterday we went swimming in the famous pool at dolphin sq. Wean loved it!

My work went well , I was meeting other members of 62 group to look at 1st stage applications for membership. Took quite a long time but we all felt we’d done a great job and have chosen quite a wide selection for 2nd stage.

Also mangaed it to the handweavers studio on haroldstone rd -got some amazing singles hand dyed linen for my portraits – only had about 20 mins spare to get yarn but could have spent ages in there looking…….

Then after all met up with tim and dawn who’d gallantly been looking after the wean and we went to wagamammas on the south bank which was fantastic…had a really graet dinner and tootsie managec most of her dinner. Really brilliant to see polly who is looking really well….Then got taxi home!

today I think we are going to do the tates!

Going to shower and get ready to go which takes ages!

Country bumpkins travel south

Yeah! me and the wean travel by plane to london to visit! I’m also doing a little work there but mainly seeing uncle Tim, Gorgeous Dawn and many others! Our days will be full and hectic , and full of fun!

So no blogs from me tiil next week!  Thank goodness Dr Who has finished so I won’t mind not missing it!

 

I’m hoping to visit the handweavers studio which is the most amazing place..need to get some more dyed linen for portraits!
