oops....

...been SOOOOO long, sorry :( Anyway, finally got last presentation for the Connect course out of the way on Monday, so in a couple of weeks will have double yes DOUBLE the time in the studio per week HURRAH! Good job really as got Open Studios coming up and need to get some makings made :)

Been a hard slog over the last nine months but worth it, seems I got more out of the course than some, it's a hard thing to get right in the arts world I guess as everything's so internalised and subjective, and it depends on just how sunny one's disposition is heheheh!

So, yep, can now stop just thinking about the future and actually DO IT... really optimistic.

On a different note, got to show my studio off to my bezzie mate yesterday, we were proper ladies who lunch (Thai Dusit restaurant in Derby, perfect grub every time, tip top lunch deal, two courses £6.95!!!!) as Our Stace is now on maternity leave....all my remaining childless sociable buddies are getting sprogged up, soon I'll have no-one left to go out with now I'm getting my own life back after having the girls :( Woe is me sally-no-mates.

So, watch this space for developments on the Open Studios stuff, more silk, textiles, pearls and lovely things coming up, all for sale at Banks' Mill and to order through the website.

Oh and I need some more Twitterbuddies too so get your butts on there.

Later taters x
