Hello again...

Orphaned plant in need of a bigger dining room..
If you live in South Norfolk or North Suffolk and would like to adopt me, please email my human on helen at raindropkites dot co dot uk
or leave a comment..

I don't want to be compost!

I have nice manners and a lovely pot...

Came home with a cold..

..and still a bit slow.  Four days of teaching this week, and lots of stuff to prepare for the Harrogate Knitting and Stitching Show at the weekend.. I'm off to Yorkshire tomorrow, so if you are there do come and say hello.  I'll be on the Oakshott Fabrics stand again.. (Hall B)
I can't speak too highly of the Beryl Dean exhibit - the work is astounding.  Sorry, no images of that as it was "No photography", but here's a leaf

 

and three silk and Lipari crown pincushions..

Pattern later

Going Home..

From the Ferrycat

More tomorrow

Saturday, this flower bloomed..

Friday, it rained..

More from Bewleys Hotel

 Floor in the lobby.. Lovely tiles and symbology

 

And this magnificent steed awaits a rider in the front garden

Day One of the Knitting and Stitching Show was pretty good.  We met quite a lot of new and old friends and sold a fair  bit of stuff.  My new items are getting a good reaction, so I'm happy. And the restaurant is good...

Dublin, day 2..

 Bewley's Hotel.  A Victorian freemasonic fantastical castle, with turrets and stuff

 

and this absolutely Andy-Goldsworthyesqe arrangements of leaves in the river..

More images tomorrow

At the Holyhead Ferry Terminal..

 ..I spotted this astounding house with rusty iron windows.. I love the colour of the stone.

  

I'm in Dublin, with Mike Oakshott, for the Knitting and Stitching Show.. Do come along and say hello..

Oh, life, and stuff!

 Because it's obligatory to have a Cat Picture at least once a month...

 

...and because I tidied my little workroom (as opposed to my 1000-square-feet-of-chaos-at-work)

and found these lurking in a corner.. Left is Copper Leaf, right is Paper Stripes, both postcards..

Off to Ireland tomorrow, for the Dublin Knitting and Stitching Show, for the first time, with Oakshott Fabrics.  Tonight, peace, hotel, and supper...

...and here's today's...

Detail of Burning Bright, a quilt in five movements...

And then one of them brought these utterly unsuitable cookies (from Alaska, alas)
