heat wave

another scorcher....just got home from an afternoon at Port Sorrell ,where we took xavier's birthday kyak to be christened . a fabulous time was had by all.
We had some visitors at home.....3 nice young gentlemen  wwoofers (willing workers on organic farms)
dropped in for a bbq and 8 ball. Phil from england, Adrian from France and one from Germany.all very polite and just loving the MEAT Ian served them....there hosts are vegetarians.

I have started my new 18hr a week job working as assistant in the prac room at nursing school and am loving it.
The staff have made me feel very welcome and are all lovely.
I have been walking in to work from the pottery  20min  and the exrcise is just what i need.

Mind to Matter: Developing Ideas - Monthly Trift Challenge

Mind to Matter: Developing Ideas - Monthly Trift Challenge: So I have this idea... It would be great if people would join me! (Australia only at this stage) What I want to do is have a monthly craft...

A little catch up time...

Hmm... where to start...
I had a stall at a new market... Tas Ware &Fare... which has started on 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month at The Round House at Inveresk....5 mins from my studio.I thought about my set up and am pleased with the way i decided to go...less is more so they say so I decided to try it out.

some new photo cards (close ups of some of my work). handmade books baskets n bits.

another view.. mugs nother pots.

full view...Tracy's cloth ....thanks .

I set up in record time and waited for the customers.... as it was the first time things were a it slow but with the word spreading i am sure it will be a goer, due to circumstances beyond our control the market will resume in March and as I cannot do the 1st Sundays I will be there on the18th March and hopefully once a month from then on....depending on how things go.

On another note I went back to my Polytechnic job to find out I am being redeployed and it looks like I will be T.A in Health in the Nursing prac room...one day a week..Different to a pottery studio but i am looking forward to the chnge and there are lot of worse jobs they could have offered me.

A few changes afoot in the Tin Shed too with 3 of our artists leaving us ....So vacant spaces available to rent
if anyone is interested.
