Edward, although that cute shirt matches your trousers, it is not for you ...



I made it for Jess!

this was the weekend that was ...

The first weekend of ARTWEY! Quick, grab that camera, and snap the first visitors!



It might be cheating asking Daisy to sign the book, but my girls really enjoyed the display too ...



Steam punk goat is here for a little while longer, then he goes off for big adventures ... he is very much admired by those he meets ...



'I'll take this please,' says Mary, about her own dog-on-wheels!



spot any familiar faces?



Here is the Cat, at work on Barn Owl soft sculpture number 4 ...



The fuzzies even start to ask all the kinds of questions that my visitors do. Then they go one better, and turn up with fake money, to buy me out!



Do come and see us next weekend, won't you?

New Cardigans!


Now knitting may not be her usual project, but my dear friend from soggibottom made a super job of these! About two years ago that is, when Artwey was in it's infancy. And my girls were much smaller. But good things come to those who wait, and children grow in front of our very eyes!

I just cannot knit. I have tried!

picnic with friends ...

We went to Abbotsbury gardens with friends, for a picnic, play and explore ...



a pretend camp fire was made using fallen bamboo leaves and poppy petals for the red flames!



Matty basks in the orange glow!



then the fire was taken apart after lunch, to make pictures and objects ...



The girls look very smart today. If it's true that The Raggy Rat cannot knit, who made those lovely cardis?


I'll tell you tomorrow ...

pretty bunting ...

this is my second lot of bunting, made for a birthday BBQ ...



I got lost in my fabric stash, finding old friends, and exciting prints, along with some silk too. I chose a delicate rainbow of shades for this 15 flag length...
