Bunting Bonanza goes live!
Today the Lynemouth attempt on the Bunting world record began! 40 Children valiantly drew stuck and stitched to make their pennants in the school colours of red and gold....I was supposed to be working with more children on Tuesday & Wednesday but the mighty OFSTED has other ideas!! So we will continue our Bunting Bonanza on Thursday....and don't forget the drop in workshop at the Lynemouth Resource Centre next Sunday!

Hubble Bubble....
Dyeing time again.. preparing lots of fabric for a new set of work. I like to dig out the dye bath and silk screens every so often - takes me back to student days:)
I usually try and do this when the kids are not around though - can you imagine the mayhem if they got into this stuff?? Well I guess the house would be (more) colourful!

April Ideas
I also think I'm going to get all 'La Di Da' and call them 'Objet D'art' so people know they're not glorified pin cushions!
I'm preparing for a Craft & Design Fair in July at the moment - seems a long way off but I know that 10 weeks will fly by unless I write myself a schedule! How do YOU keep to your plans? I'm already a piece of work down on my target for this week...was I too ambitious - or too easily distracted in a 'My I must clean behind those radiators today' kind of way??

lovetextiles April 2013
I am trying to get back into an efficient working routine after the Easter holiday. The kids are back in school and so I can now ignore the clutter and the washing up and run away upstairs to the attic to draw and stitch all day...so how come I'm thinking about the housework that needs doing and the dust I can see now the sun has come out?
Today will be spent creating the harbour to go on a large piece so I'd better get on and do it...then I can post a picture of it later on!
