Here we are...
...firmly in 2011...
...and it's good to be back at the lappy :-)
It's been an odd time....since December 12th 2010...
...what with visiting bugs (again!)....
...BOTH of us this time....
...and the server (computer) going FUT on Christmas Day!
Still....
...all that time without internet allowed me to get a load of headwork done.
2010 was, I can safely say, a VERY mixed bag for us here.
Choir things went really well...as did all other things musical...
...but serious health issues threw a right spanner in the works around April-time...
...and are still continuing...but now in a NOT so serious manner THANK GOODNESS!!!
It made for a good deal of thought though...
...that kind of scare helps you to put things in perspective...
...so I've spent a lot of time trying to evaluate all aspects of my life.
I won't bore you with all that stuff...
...but I will let you know what's behind the new Blog image!
For quite some time, I've stressed a bit over the fact that others seem to be able to focus on a particular theme and/or colour pallette. Their work is so constant...dependable...and yet not boring...
Me though....well....I'm all over the place...
....painting...spinning....weaving...stitching....dyeing....
...inspired by Africa...Morocco...India...Japan...China....
..and it was getting to me.
However, all the heart-searching and thinking showed me that...
...THAT IS ME!!!
A "Textile Butterfly"...
...flitting around wherever I please...
...and ENJOYING MYSELF IMMENSELY!
So LET IT BE....."variety is the spice of life" after all :-)))))
2011 is going to full of all sorts of bits and bobs...
...experiments and adventures...
...the first of which begin here...
...with more little houses.
I've become really enamoured with "little houses" :-)...
...and have begun to experiment with the possibilities...
..like machining some rooftiles, and curtains.
I like the format, and will be spending a lot of time working with it over the next few months.
There are other things happening too...
...more on the weekend...
