Been SO busy!!
Hi everyone sorry not to have been able to write much – have had a very busy summer and last week my wee girl started school! Then this week I started teaching so everything has been very hectic….
Haven’t had time to put work in my etsy shops – though the scarves are doing really well and hopefully I’ll have lots of things to show you soon, I’ve been knitting a lot too recently so have some new things to show too..
so new things well be uploaded soon ..also WASPS are doing open studios on the weekend of 3rd and 4th of October so am getting for that too
craft fair work
been working like a mad woman for this fair, did it yesterday and sold 3 scarves ,3 waist coats and no booties even though everyone picked them up and said “oh how cute!”
also a picture there of some fabric I got from a charity shop, white and silver, think I’m going to put it on a black scarf.
Really want to do some weaving soon getting a hankering for it! So today I uploaded the bootees I didn’t sell to my etsy shop.
things to do on a sunday!
last sunday me and tootsie went to a farm called knowetop farm I think…thatas the right spelling…its in the middle of a housing estate in dumbarton. Its a charity community run and was brilliant for the kids
-
- tootsie and the kids!
There were lots of animals in huge fields though they all came running to get food and loved being petted by the children
Its free entry, they have a cafe, a soft play area, shop to buy food for ducks,goats,pigs, a barn full of guinea pigs and bunnys. The shop is full of charity items and hand knitted clothes. It was great fun! We’ll be going back soon!
keep going!
at last managed to work out how to put those etsy buttons on here so people can go straight to my shops! Hooray! Feeling quite proud of myself as I really am quite a technophobe though I try hard not to be!
This week is rushing by already… I’m Teaching on wed and so far this week I’ve been dashing around and its only monday….sorting the wean out with all their classes! Hectic! Today i had to take part in jo jingles class pretending to enjoy dancing around with a feather so that the wean who was sitting in corner with arms crossed might join in!……….worked though!
Had quite a few invoices to do and to finalise craft fair stuff……….
speak soon
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!
make make make finish!
today i;’m sort of wean free so I’m going to try and finish my portrait tapestry and design at least one scarf.
purples and blues I’m thinking.I looked at the pantone prediction site for colours in the autumn and it was a bit of an eyeopener! So many predictions to choose from and all similar to an extent but different!
i’ve got so many half finished projects..I need to make a stance to myself and get things finished off! Then I don’t think I’ll be in so much of a guddle!
As alwauys I never seem to get a full day… there is always something to do out with making…today there is the nice distraction of my neices birthday party………..
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!
