Hello readers – I’m back. If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been the answer is near Valencia, Spain. We’ve just got back from 2 weeks holiday there. We were really lucky – arrived in time for almost 2 weeks of great weather after the previous week of continuous rain. We had 24 hrs of [...] This morning I went over to the fabric shop in Bad Camberg where my quilting and patchwork got started for the second time a few years ago now. I needed to stock up on fabric to use in my portrait. I have some at home of course, including some that I dyed myself in [...] At the moment, you won’t see any pictures in my postings – we upgraded to the latest version of WordPress last night and managed to accidentally delete the directory containing all the photos by mistake.

We went to see the exhibition last Thursday, which was the May Day public holiday here. We thought that [...] 2nd January 1922 – 24th March 2008 I wasn’t going to post about this, but having heard from some people who are wondering where I’d got to, I decided I’d better explain why I’ve not been around. My Dad died on Easter Monday. One of the most important lessons I learnt from him is [...] A tiny picture in the latest GEO magazine caught my eye. I’ve seen pictures before of the art of Deborah Sperber composed entirely of spools of sewing thread. It really is quite extraordinary. I can’t begin to imagine how you go about assembling the huge numbers of cotton reels needed to produce the finished [...] |
