So Jack Frost may be nipping at my toes and it’s the perfect excuse to roll out the hand knit cashmere bedsocks, wooly hats and the works but I am also thinking of Paris in the Springtime, well not quite Paris and a little later than Spring but still France (and I can’t help it [...]

A trip to France
So we got back safe and sound (much to my relief, but I won’t go into that) and we had an amazing time with much laughter, amusement and celebratory activities. Ro (aka Novasteel) was a fabulous host, we learnt a lot, enjoyed lovely company, made some new Ravelry friends and were reacquainted with people who [...]
the sea
So I did find some space, it was here By day, it looked like that By evening it looked like this Sea and space, there are other beaches in between and there are other spaces as well to stay but these two are my perfect matches. [...]
Nuit Blanche
Counting down to Nuit Blanche. Nuit Blanche is an exciting "cultural all-nighter" presenting contemporary art events from dusk to dawn. It enlivens cities all round the world such as Paris, Berlin and Toronto, and 2010 is the debut for Reading. This first year will be a small but magical series of indoor and outdoor events [...]
Always good things happening
Some eagle eyed visitors may have noticed that the blog has moved but it’s for a good reason to enable more things to happen from this one space instead of running round all over the place adding bits and pieces – hang on, that sounds like my life in the real world, running round here and there doing bits and pieces.
We have some very interesting friends
Lately we have been visiting studios, openings, art things and the such every day. Today was no different as a day, we went to visit the Kesslings but there is always something slightly different going on there. So today we saw a cat in the pram (no cats were harmed in the taking of this) [...]
art days
The children are on holiday and I am working but inbetween my work involves things they can do too. So we went on a trip to The Affordable Art Fair in Battersea, normally I am working there and it was very bizarre to see someone else on *my stand*. The fair is 10 years old [...]
birthday week, overcoming fears and making things
This might be a long post, it feels like there is so much to say so maybe you might want to grab a cup of tea or even skip this altogether and just look at the pictures (but that may not make sense!) It’s been a week almost since I last wrote here and the [...]
rowing weekend
That is a rowing weekend on the river not a rowing weekend as in arguing. To say rowing weekend may be a bit of exaggeration, more like one hour but I have a hideous blister on my right hand thumb that has burst and is sore which means knitting is a little painful but I [...]
lovely suprises in the post
Not everything was a surprise completely, I was expecting the Ysolda yarn from Old Maiden Aunt but the colour was even more satisfying in the flesh. On the screen it had looked more grey but in real life it is a blue/green/grey so that was surprise no 1. Surprise 2&3 came in a package together, [...]
