Finished at last…I didn't realise how colourful it was.  I do a lot of knitting in the evening when it is dark - so I get somewhat of a shock in morning light!!  Anyway - I'm quite pleased  with it and will try to get some photos with a human model - it looks less droopy on an actual person!!  I am now on the way with jacket no. 4….this time in blues.  Have a good day x

It's nearly finished.  I'm not sure whether I'm pleased with it or not….at least it's colourful - and actually it does look quite good when it's on a human!   Hopefully it will look even better when the pins are taken out….


Looking good isn't it?….the garden is ready to go…we've been hunting for good climbers and plants…roll on Spring.   In the meantime it is good to get back into the art shed…I have a feeling that I'll be on a roll in 2014!  The latest jacket is nearly ready for its photo shoot..

What a glorious November day yesterday …. here is a view on my dog walk.  I then came home and did an hour's spinning in the garden….it was as though summer had returned.  Back to normal this morning - and now I'm off for a swim.  Have a good day!

It's good to remember summer days on a rather dull, dreary November morning…..I love these photos of the sea in the south of France…and look forward to being there again next year!  Meanwhile, there's lots going on here. I've almost finished jacket no. 3 and planning my creative life before the Brighton Festival and other exciting events… and tonight I'm off to a book launch!  Should be good….have a good weekend x

Stripped bare….and ready to start again.  That's how it feels with our little garden.  The fun bit will now start..i.e.thinking of climbers, and pot plants etc.  We would like to get an evergreen climber to go on the left fence, which is south facing.  It needs to be pretty tough and ideally could be planted in a large pot. Any ideas?  I've already had to fish a dog out of one of the plant pots - so on the whole things have to be dog-proof!!  As you can see,  the art shed is still standing and will soon be put to good use!

I love this space in Bill's restaurant in Chichester.  Internal spaces affect me a lot - I'm always aware of my environment, as I'm sure a lot of people are.  This morning we've been discussing our new garden and how to place things......have you ever watched George Clarke's 'Amazing Spaces' on TV?  Well worth a viewing...incredible what people do....
