So many things....

....about my fellow moly exchangers resonate with me...does anyone recognise these from the moly X 25 blog? I'm sure we shall find many more parallels before the year is out!

The Bankfield work is moving into an experimental stage...

..it will be interesting to see where it takes me.

But best of all today...

...my geraniums are blooming and make me smile!

Been working on....

....the moly exchange page, and this is what I came up with. Experimenting in photoshop to see whether to colour or not.

I think I shall though I'll never be able to get the colour as flat as this without the computer!

Finished ....

....the drawing for the sign in page for moly X...just got to stick it in the book next and then I really can't delay actually drawing in the book any longer. I've really struggled with that blank page. I hope it gets easier!

Do you ever get that feeling.....

...you've too much to do and too little time to do it in. The problem being that unless I have a deadline I never get around to it. But then you can have too many deadlines!! So with that in mind and apologies for the rather lame effort this month here is my "creation" for the inspiration challenge this month

a photo of my current inspiration board.....that very much betrays the way I work....messy and lacking in focus!! Sorry thriftin and craftin I'll try and make a better effort next month!

Still working on the moly X...and hope to post an image soon.

The first.....

....drawing for my moly exchange group....

is not in my moly....but it will be shortly. All will be revealed here in due course!

Still putting the final touches to my websites but hope to have them up and running in the next couple of weeks.

Will keep you posted

Can't believe .....

....its been so long since I last posted here. My only excuse is I've been busy.

....busy enjoying days out in the sun..

...the sun was shining ....really!...its just my photos

...busy at work, enjoyable but ....the less said about that the better.

...busy drawing.....

...with oil pastels

...busy knitting...endless knitting. More on that in later posts when I have something finished to show you, but I'm working on a piece for an Open Textiles competition at the Platform Gallery in Clitheroe and I've been accepted into the Holmfirth Arts Week this year too, and I'm also working on the Bankfield pieces. I have made some progress on these but cannot Reveal all just yet. I've also ....

....been busy packing some of my work for San Jose, like this piece...

which will be winging its way to the National Quilt Museum very shortly for this exhibition.

Also (told you I had been busy!)

..been busy learning how to and creating two websites. One for my textile work and the other for greetings cards based on my illustrations........hopefully they will be going live for the end of this month. I'll be posting links later, but in the meantime this is the banner for the card website.

...and finally, but by no means least, I've been busy buying a Japanese moleskin at this lovely bookshop..

.. for this fantastic project on flickr..... I've very kindly been invited by some lovely ladies to join the moly x 25 group. The link for the blog for this is here. Feel free to follow our adventures, it should be fun!

No posts for days and then I can't stop....hope its not too boring!

PS aaargh!!!!.... Can anyone tell me how to better control starting new paragraphs on blogger. I want the writing under the photos but can't seem to do that.
