so that was Christmas

So Christmas is over.

Even the cricket is finished for now...

but this was what was keeping me busy leading up to Christmas

You may have already seen them on Instagram

but I have decided I find blogging (and reading blogs) more satisfying

so from now on I am going to try and blog more.

What are your thoughts on this dilemma?

I mounted lots of these as my Christmas cards (here's hoping they don't end up in the bin).

Lots and lots...

(i did put some on Etsy if you are interested)

Quick...

I am currenty taking part in an exhibition called "Weathering the Future".

It is a collaboration of artists and writers as described here ...

 

This is my contribution entitled "Opting out".

Melissa Watt has composed an ekphrastic piece as her description of my piece.

What do you think?

If you are local you have just a few days to view the exhibition at the Backspace Gallery in Ballarat.

Series

You know you can do workshops in working in a series?

I think it comes naturally.....

You start with one and think next time I'll......

and then text time I'll.....

and there. A series.

And then I think, I ought to keep a record.

Should I give them signs?

Maybe I should make some new ones.....

Exhibition over

My little exhibition has been over for more than a week

and I am trying to get back to my routine.

I have unpacked. Sort of.

I also found time to continue this series.

Skipping.

Girl on a bike.

Girl with a suitcase.

Girl with a pram.

Girls walking the dog.

They are about the size of a postcard and you can find them on my Etsy.

Distracted

Are you easily distracted.

I have been happily going along

dealing with the mission at hand

when I thought :

"Maybe I'll try this in white?"

Oh yes, what fun. Why stop there?

 

I feel a series coming on....

snapshots

I like to think of these as snaps shots taken out the car window while driving in the country. 

They are about the size of photos when I was a child,

or like trading cards.

But I want to sell them not trade them.

Two more

 

I've made two more.

I am enjoying exploring working in a series.

So much for blogging more often

I suppose to keep blogging I have to keep making.....

 

 

I have made 3 of these now and have a couple more on the way.

sign me up.

I rather feel I have lost my mojo the last few weeks.

Not sure if it is all the political turmoil or just because it's Summer.

I have enjoyed a bit of hand stitching though.

Always keeps you going doesn't it?

And I do like a good sign.

A few stitches...

January seems like on long holiday.

I have carried my little sewing kits for weeks hoping to put a few stitches in these small things.

At last I have finished a couple of things.  

Some indigo.... 

and a new tea cosy.

I have trying out a new pattern.

What do you think?

Might start putting things on my Etsy.
