The sun shone briefly this afternoon so I quickly began sketching out my design onto the white gates I am going to begin painting as soon as we get a bit of dry weather. Looking at the forecast this may not be for some time!

I’ve just ordered lots of notebooks and greeting cards along with a few new designs for cards and prints.

I’ll be dropping more of these off to @sheffieldmakershuntersbar this week and next week, I’m looking forward to having a pop up stall at the @thegreenshopsheffield where I’ll display my new wares along with other hand printed work. During this time weather permitting I’ll also be outside the Green Shop painting a scene on their gates.

Exciting times!

I feel this needs a caption 😂

It’s been a very busy week. I’ve gone from being a hermit and hardly seeing a soul over the past year, to regular 2 hour commuting to teach in college, deadlines for all sorts of commissions and projects and social meet ups. It’s been fun, but a bit much after being so quiet. For my sanity I’ve made some time to collage onto some birds.
Listening to the radio, cutting and sticking colourful printed paper this afternoon was just what I needed.

I hope you have a lovely Friday evening, whatever you are doing.

I’ve been working on a lampshade commission today.

Tried sharing as a reel but I didn’t like the black surrounding the clip, so I’m sharing as a post instead.

I’ve felt rather odd recently. I am in the midst of loads of unfinished projects and I’m finding it rather discombobulating!
I am super distracted and don’t know what to concentrate on first.

I’ve made a little time to continue sewing my large woodcut printed textile that I am hand quilting. I have found it fairly calming and
I’m trying not to overthink how or where I sew it as I am working on it. I’m aware of my inexperience at quilting and I’m trying to quell my feelings of impatience with the process and fear that won’t look as I hope, although I haven’t really got any idea of how I want it to look anyway!

Meanwhile I am up to my ears in builders and quotes for various elements of the building project and of course the house is a chaotic dust mare! I know it will all be worth it, but my goodness I’ll be glad when it’s over. The trick though is to try and focus on the self employed work I have to do and not get too scattered and distracted by the life stuff.

It will all be worth it I’m sure!

It was nice to bump into @hayleygellphotography and meet Nick from @pangolin_craft_beer when I popped down to Hillsborough shops this morning.

I walked home thinking about how nice it is here, with so many friendly people and such a great sense of community. Brought into focus even more through the last year.

I arrived home to see that the @sheffieldtelegraph has a front page article ‘The rise of S6’ today!

Ha ha those of us here always knew it. Now everyone else is realising it too!

There are several fabulous new businesses recently arrived in our community including @theorangebirdkitchen, @mollyscafeanddeli, @thegreenshopsheffield @pangolin_craft_beer, @northernmonkeypub as well as many established places like @cupolacontemporaryart, @finefabricssheffield, @handsonhealthsheffield and many more. A couple of good Instagram accounts to follow are @thisishillsborough_ and @hillsboroughighlights

The old coach house is being renovated to become a cafe and activity centre for @ageuksheffield
and there are other exciting plans a foot too!

I’ve shared a few collages inspired by my local area. I’m in the middle of researching and recording local Hillsborough landmarks for a couple of projects I’m working on. I tend to do this with collage, as it’s a great way for me to interpret what I see.

Exciting times!

Morning! Hope you enjoyed your Easter break? The sun was a nice surprise, less so the snow!

I’ve not been on Instagram so much over the past few days. I’m always rather amazed by folk who manage to post interesting images and thoughts once a day or even more! As for those who had a big sale on this weekend, well I take my hat off to you! Especially if you have kids. You are very organised.

Here, my studio is a tip again as I am mid-way through about 4 different projects at the moment...actually it’s more like 6. Also it’s the Easter holiday here, so I’m keeping busy trying to ensure my daughter doesn’t spend every hour of a day on her iPad or phone. Trying to organise a few socially distanced get togethers (which seems to be very difficult at the moment) and make the most of this sunshine. Which basically means going for a walk. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️

The various projects I’m working on vary from community based to commission to educational. The perfect mix for me and why I love what I do. However, I’m afraid I’ve nothing much of interest to share to do with these projects at the moment, so I’m sharing a photo of some incomplete work drying on the wall instead. 😁

I hope you have a lovely day, whether you are at work or on holiday. Let’s hope this sun continues to shine.
