Back and now in full colour

Ok, so I'm not really back for full-time blogging, it's still a few weeks until I get my life back. But I am snatching time off to do nice stuff with nice people. Last weekend was a day at Big Session Festival (my local) with Miss R. Amazingly the sun shone and the pints of perry flowed and it was an excellent day.  Oh and the bands were good too.* I just wish I'd taken my knitting. 

We liked Eliza Carthy (she's bloody marvellous), Otis Gibbs (Rach liked him very much), Babel (alas not wearing the ponco as in the press photo, shame) & The Shee.\

PS. Rumour has it I've done a little sewing. Will try and get my photographer to get a snap at the weekend.

New Exhibiton

I've got some work on exhibition at Galanthus Gallery in Herefordshire until 26th July, including Betty here.

I've got a few exhibitions lined up for this year, including one for which I have to make some new work. That's looking like August is accounted for. Really looking forward to getting stuck into some sewing again.

Where exactly did May go?

OK, a month has gone by. A little more than that even. I think I might have to admit defeat and put the blog into hibernation for a couple of months until my big project is up and running and I have time to breath again - let alone sew!

But for now here are a few of the things I've been busy with.

Exhibition preparation - including fetching and moving 50 or so mannequins. I bought a handy spare hand home with me in the hope it would do some of the work.

New favourite instant dinner:

1 packet of miso soup plus a bowlful of stock

lots of chopped cabbage / spring greens/chinese greens

tamari

chilli

wholemeal noodles

Plus if I have:

marinated tofu 

omelette or scrambled eggs

Visiting this exhibition

Planning to go back to see the whole of 78 Derngate - it has been on my list for ages!

buying a few bits and pieces of clothes. Despite the crumpled-ness I love the combination of these colours. Although I've given to orange top to my mum to try - perhaps if she doesn't want it I can have it back, please?

back soon, i promise!
