| Stitching in progress |
It’s Open Studios week
here (Forth Valley Open Studios) and after a dismal week last week of migraine, I got everything together
just in time. It’s fun having visitors
and sharing my work. I’ve taken down the
wadding I use for my design wall and was dazzled by the white wall behind it –
it’s amazing what a difference there is between soft cream and bright
white! The walls and doors now have my
artwork hung on them and the worktop has lots of smaller pieces and sketchbooks
out too.
Part of the joy of
reorganising my studio to teach in it is how easy it is to move everything
around and configure it in different ways.
So I have a desk set up with my sewing machine so I can carry on
stitching at quieter moments and three tables put together in the middle so
visitors can have a go at printing.

| The little one showing off her stitching skills |
I’m not sure if my
daughter counts as a ‘visitor’ but she certainly had a go at printing
yesterday, using two gelli-plates at once and covering herself, the paper and
the floor in paint. At least she made
some interesting prints! She also spent
some time sitting in the corner showing off her stitching skills.
The studio is open until
Sunday 14th June from 12-5 (apart from Tues and Weds), so if you are
in the area, please pop in and have a look/chat/go at printing.

Would love to visit but sadly too far. Glad to hear that you got through the migraine in time. Hope the rest of the week goes well.
Thanks Maggi. I love where I live but sometimes it does seem remote! I'm feeling human again now which is lovely, especially as the sun is finally shining
