Nature provides an endless source of inspiration....my friend sadly had to have her eucalyptus tree cut down the other day.  It had been so battered in the recent storms it had become dangerous....but aren't the logs beautiful?  too good to burn, although I guess a few will end up on our fire....

I may not be allowed to knit at the moment but at least I can amuse myself looking at recent makes.. I have pinned the crochet flowers on to the tea cosy......I think there could be mileage in tea cosy production (!!)

Well.......I've been banned from knitting for a week because I'm in danger of wrecking my wrist!!  I thought the exercise would do it good but obviously not.  I was wondering why it was hurting so much!!  Not to be daunted, I decided to do some sewing....the cat however was most perturbed and wondered where the wool was!!

I've just done a talk on 'Explosion of colour'......I think this page says it all!!  When I get a lot of my work together to show people, I always think I must be manic...I seem to have produced so much over the years and the trouble is, when I have completed something I usually want to hang on to it, and not sell. I suppose it's because I put so much time and love into my projects, it's a wrench to let them go.  But it does come in useful when I take workshops/demos etc. because I always have lots of samples!!  I'm doing another demo tomorrow....by the way I sold some cards!!

I was in one of my favourite places today .....Chichester.  I love the old buildings and sense of history.  It was good to see signs of Spring which is hopefully just around the corner!!

I'm all buttoned up........as you can see, I'm back on a roll and I immersed myself in buttons the other day.  I have added a few to my small exhibition in our local library.  I wonder if they will provoke any comments?  We shall see. I've been swimming like crazy - am doing some part time work - and have today driven (!!) up to the Downs for a glorious, sunny dog walk.  Mind you, I frequently clutch on to my arm to keep it safe...but on the whole things are progressing nicely!!  Have a good day x

From fleece to flower in  2 hours!  I really enjoyed myself yesterday afternoon and decided to play.....so....I carded and then spun some fleece and then crocheted this flower.  I haven't got quite enough yarn to finish, so must do some more spinning.  Of course this is the reason that I never run out of wool.  I have bags of fleece, so I just spin.  It takes a long time, but I like to have an everlasting supply!
