I'm back!

Well it’s been a while, I do apologise, but it’s been a busy old time!

The exhibition at The Fold is over, and received a lot of acclaim, so I was very happy with that. It’s a lovely place and I hope to be able to work with them again in the future. Next on my agenda is an exhibition in the craft cases at Number 8, an arts centre in Pershore, my home town. Just trying to sort out those pictures now, and I’m off to measure the spaces available this afternoon. I might add in a few accessories as well, so there is a bit more of a variety ofitems for sale. Pershore is famous (I guess!) for its plums, and the Plum Festival will be on for the duration of my exhibition, so I am currently working on a few plum pictures too! Not had a great amount of inspiration on that front, but hopefully something will evolve over the next few weeks!


Otherwise I have had a great few months – what with organising a Royal Wedding Street Party for the village, painting and planning on moving in to Andy’s flat (it’s a long process!), we had a sunny weekend in Polperro, my friends had their beautiful baby girl – Anya – who the owl mobile was made for, the Moto GP season has started (Silverstone this weekend!), ooh and I passed my CBT!

I have some plans to update the website and hopefully expand into more shops and galleries. I am planning on becoming a bit more focussed on selling! There are big changes afoot for me - i am moving out and getting a 'studio' in my brother's old room - so i am hopeful for great things this year!

Fingers crossed this rain will disappear and we’ll have a great weekend at Silverstone (hmmmmm!)

Exhibition!

Hello!

I have had a busy few weeks sewing and now my first exhibition is up at The Fold, Bransford, Worcestershire and will run throughout April and May.

The exhibition is inspired by trees and leaves, and explores the beauty of Spring and Autumn through layers of fabrics and colours of stitching. The exhibition is in the Eco Cafe and is free.

I am really happy with my work and the way it looks in the Cafe. Its a lovely place and it does great food too - certainly worth a visit!

Sewing in the sunshine

Hi world.

Well today I had my first lunch outside this year, and it was beautifully warm and sunny and I am quite sad to be back here inside.

But to update you on the sewing adventures of the past couple of weeks ... the pictures for my exhibition at The Fold are coming along really well. Just a couple more left to do now. I have photographed a few to give you a sneaky peak.

And another project I was working on was a mobile for my friends who are expecting their first baby in a few weeks time – I think it looks super cute in their lovely little nursery!

Cheers,
Sally
