yesterday

Time for a catch up...  a selection of lovely postcards on my kitchen wall...

....a new, old wooden box for my workroom, I need more storage space and this brightly coloured box is perfect. I'm on the look out for some shelves next.....

 

....My running route takes me through a meadow field, which at the moment is full of cows grazing on Buttercups, so I picked a few flowers on my way, any excuse to stop for a bit....

 

I've just finished these two silk drawstring purses, which I delivered to the Blenheim Palace Crafts Shop yesterday. I love the combination of the pale pink, white vintage lace and the shimmery mother of pearl buttons.

 

Well that's me up to date .... how about you?

a trip to the palace

 

On Sunday I visited the new Oxfordshire crafts gallery at Blenheim Palace to see my work on show along side other local artists.

The new gallery is a lovely space full of inspiring pieces, from textiles, ceramics and jewellery. I'm sure it will be a success.

 

We also had a wander around the grounds, which looked beautiful in the hazy afternoon sunshine. Still to early to see any spring flowers, but the box hedges and trees looked serene amongst the statues and fountains.

saturday stuff

How's your weekend going? I've been at home working on some new pieces for a brand new gallery opening up in the grounds of Blenheim Palace in Woodstock. The Oxfordshire Crafts Gallery, as it will be called, will sell work from local artists and they have asked me for a collection of my handmade accessories. How lovely!

So I've got until the end of the month to get sewing, as the gallery opens on the 9th February.

 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
