More sewing

This should give my face a bit more shade !
I made the brim a bit stiffer with this one - the blue one tends to flip down in front of my eyes.
Now I've got to address the problem of it blowing away in the wind - maybe a chin strap !!

Sewing

Just had the joys of having a mole removed from my nose - fortunately it was only a mole, nothing nasty, so now it's just a matter of waiting for the scar to heal. I've been told to keep it out of the sun - difficult in this weather. It's far too hot for a hat so I've made myself a sun visor.

I've got loads of pretty material so I'll have another few goes - modifying the design along the way.

Exhibition paintings

Glowing Fields

Poppies

Sunflower 'Solar Flash'

Actually managed some time to paint. All 3 are acrylic on canvas and are for sale at the Spalding Art & Craft Society exhibition in Ayscoughfee Hall until the 28th June

Spalding Art & Craft Society 2015 Annual Exhibition

With luck I'll manage to get some paintings done to exhibit !!

Happy Christmas 2014

Wishing everyone a Happy Christmas and all the best for the coming year

I have done very little painting this year - hopefully next year will be more productive

As a change from painting this is felt applique and needle felting

Postage prices

Sorry but due to the recent Royal Mail increases I'm having to put my overseas postage charge up.

Overseas postage is now £2 per item with an additional shipping and handling charge of £4 per order. This shows on the order form as £6 for the first item, £2 for each subsequent item.

UK postage is as yet unchanged at £1.50 per order
