This morning's dog walk (and swim) was  fantastic....not a breath of wind and soooo warm.  Yippee - summer's here again!  I can't keep George (retriever) out of the water  - she is drawn to it like a moth to a light!!  Jazmine got more than she bargained for.  I think she thought she was going to dip her toe in, but the beach must have had a deep slope because she was soon out of her depth and swimming for England!  Very happy dogs and humans !



As you can see we had a very busy day at the Embroiderers Guild on Tuesday........sometimes all the hard work just becomes too much!!!  Seriously though, it was a great day of making and chatting.....and of course sampling the delicious desserts that our brilliant committee put on for us!

I had a burst of enthusiasm yesterday! Having been asked to do a short workshop on art journalling, with the theme of flowers, I decided to go for it without too much thought....I based my page on a photo of tulips taken earlier in the year....gathered stuff around me in the appropriate colours - and then played for about an hour.  Good discipline for me, and I hope to enthuse others.  Have a good day everyone.....I'm off to the Brighton Art Trail today which should be fun!

On today's dog walks I decided to stop and really look at the wild flowers .... they were all so unassuming, and yet absolutely beautiful.  To me, flowers are a never-ending source of inspiration.  And to be able to capture them on my phone camera is a real bonus.  Talking of my phone - it has been great for everything except for actual phone calls, which continually disconnected!!  Anyhow today I made the effort to go to the Apple shop in Brighton, where I was presented with a brand new phone.  Good old Apple - you can't get much fairer than that can you??

I am now almost ready for the Art Trail....so, this afternoon I got my bags together and went off to the beach for a photo shoot!!  I really enjoyed myself and am pleased with the results.  Here are some of the photos...(I can feel another book coming on!!)







Scenes from my evening dog walk....it's amazing how nature restore's the balance - after the winter storms, the sea seemed so calm.  Talking about calm - I am feeling calmly confident that I now have sufficient stock ready for the Brighton Art Trail next week.  This week I shall get everything packed up and ready.  I'm really looking forward to it and meeting you all!  Have a good day x
