Nearly There

We have been working tirelessly at the unit getting all the building work done and it is so close to being finished. I will shout yippee when it is done. Taken far longer than I thought it would.

Also I have done quite a lot of filming for the online classes and You Tube, they will be ready for viewing in the next week or so.

Here are a few pictures from the first workshop!

The Crunch

We had a really busy time at the Knitting and Stitching Show. Met loads of people, Hello to Viv, Gabi, Ermintrude… To name just a few. And good to catch up with Dale and Ian and his cold germs!

The talk I gave to the Danish Felters went well and it will be lovely to see them all again in July in Denmark. (Details later) Next year will be a very busy exhibiting year as I will have the pieces for Denmark and work for the exhibition here in Newark with The Group. I will post al the details soon.

The work on the new space is gaining pace and we are painting the floor in the warehouse bit . I have tables and chairs waiting for delivery. more importantly I have been to Ikea for storage and no I didn’t come back with everything but showed great restraint!

Back In The World Again

It’s been a long time since I posted as some of you will know I was grabbed by bugs, sneezes and diseases for nearly six weeks at the beginning of the year and like so many I am only now feeling able, energetic and creative but over the last week, several things have happened that I feel that I can share.

On Thursday last week we were at our trading unit and the police arrived to evacuate us!! The reason being that a bomb left unexploded from the war had been discovered about 50 yards away from us (Newark was heavily bombed during the war with significant loss of life because engineering factories which were vital for the production of aircrafts). Anyway the bomb was taken away by the bomb squad but talking to one of my mother-in-law’s friend at her care home. Memories were spoken of the bombs falling.

And then the next exciting thing is I held a Meerkat over the weekend it had been hand reared and was part of educational event I attended. Normally I wouldn’t condone!!! The circumstances were unusual as it had been hand reared and therefore could never be returned to the wild. It was a marvellous interaction, something defiantly to be remembered.

Also Hello to Maureen who couldn’t believe I was in HER Adsa and yet again told me off for not posting!!
