Exhibition in Rønde Library

Here is my exhibition at the Library in Rønde.

I took my mum today and she enjoyed the space and said she was proud of me which is always lovely to hear! Especially when none have sold! Not to worry I have another exhibition to show them off at in October, this one ends in 2 days...

There are 16 pictures all in all and I really enjoyed the deadline to make them in!

Well hope you are all having fun in the early Summer feeling, the baby birds are chirping and when it rains it smells so fresh and lovely!

more embroideries...

here is a little wolfie for my nieces birthday in a weeks time, it was fun playing around.

And here is another completed picture for my exhibition which is happening soon.

I didn't win the competition I entered, but was pleased with the selected winners as there really was some weird and dodgy stuff and the winners deserved to win I think!

this piece looks a little like the cats are going through the washing machine. poor mites.

I have had 2 days off work this week (holiday) and have so enjoyed getting on with the various jobs both creatively and householdly that it makes me more than ever want to work part time!

hope you are all enjoying some warmth! Minna got slightly sun burnt yesterday, crikey, slapped on the sun block today!

cheeky cats

I have been busy this year making embroideries with the intention to sell. I usually just make things which develops my style and pushes my boundaries. But I have decided that I need to get some money and aim towards living off my art...or at least supplement my existing salary...! so local exhibitions this year and I know cats and dogs sell, so here I go...!

My exhibition is in a library in May.  

New embroideries...

Here is a photo of an embroidery I made for my friend who is having a birthday in May...don't think she checks my blog so I haven't spoiled the surprise!


This weekend I am taking the girls for a trip to London to visit my sister and her husband. It's always exciting to get the little monkeys on the plane and balance all the paraphernalia that accompanies us... balance the cabbage.

hope Spring is lovely for all...

a competition!

Here's a link to a competition I have entered... I am at the bottom, its in reverse alphabet order, under amystitch...

Christian saw it in the paper and suggested I took part. I really think its geared to the painterly world but hey lets see! there are some cool prizes for 10 winners/runners up. Some advice on business, 6 months marketing profile with possibility to exhibit and a years subscription to an arts magazine.

I think lots of the entries are very mundane, poorly painted portraits. But there are some exciting imaginative works in and amongst!

We are having the most amazing Spring weather...Hope you are all having a splendid start of March!

some creative play and pancakes!

Viola is sleeping outside in her pram. Minna and I drew on bog rolls, got out some little bunnies and furniture and had a wee play around. Note my lampshade in the background Its made out of some Heals fabric from the 70's I got from my amazing Auntie Maureen.
Later on we had a fire in the garden made some yummy pancakes...the snow is nearly all gone now!
What a great Saturday it's been, Viola is walking all the while now its so much fun...

Valentines...

Valentine hearts to cheer up our wintry weather!

Minna and I have had fun making them.
