Curtains for me

I've been sewing - if you can call it that!! My studio is now looking a lot more inviting. Still more to do - I think the ceiling would look lovely painted a light colour but that is a huge job.

A couple of months ago I found some brown floral 70s material in a charity shop in Cromer - two enormous curtains which I snapped up immediately. At last I found some time to cut out some panels and use my Janome sewing machine for the first time in probably a year! Was also happy to find that I was perfectly capable of taking the machine apart and cleaning and fixing it when it jammed, thanks to a great short film on line :)

I borrowed Tony Buckingham's camera again and went a little trigger happy...

a newish star design that I keep meaning to get onto Noths/own site!!

One of my paintings that was made into a card and a notelet by Clare Maddicott cards

My daughter

This one is a bit fuzzy - not sure why.. but shows both my children in my summerhouse.

Little snapper .... F set free with my camera while I used Tonys!

I have quite a few unfinished paintings around my shed/studio/summerhouse.

  A favourite bear on a tray that I found in a very unusual cafe shop in Sheringham.

My tulips came up!

Part of the cherry tree we planted a few years ago - lovely to see it flourishing in the sun.

So what do you think of the transformation? I'm pleased... and the children clearly like it as they parked themselves in here to draw.. which is why I did this rather than get on with my orders... better rectify that now!
