Fame At Last!

Life is sometimes all about the surprises that come our way.  Well I had a great one land at my feet last Friday, in the form of an invitation to be the guest quilter for Sewing Lovers Mag!  What me??!

Latest From Tom & Jerry

The latest antic from Tom was too good not to tell you about, though he may kill me if he see this.

Kiln Formed Glass Workshop with Louise Truslow

Now we all know that I love nothing better that trying my hand at something new, so when I told Alan I was going to take a class working with glass and that I would be working with a kiln, I could see the poor guy mentally calculating how much this was ultimately going to cost him!  I am not sure whether that look is despondent or resigned.  Ok, that was unfair, but only just!

Three of us took the class, with Robin and Jennifer doing one project and I another, utilising different methods.  Our teacher was artist Louise Truslow.  If you want to see some beautiful glass (as well as paintings) go take a look at her website.

I was surprised at just how labour intensive the class was,  We started at 9am and left about 6pm!

ISSUU

No, it isn't something nasty that I caught over the weekend but I did pick it up ISSUU on my daily blog stalk today.  I suppose it is a magazine, self publishing forum.  I don't know what you would call it, but there is a lot of good stuff on there, so take some time and go explore it at issue.com.


I am now the proud owner of a 'stack', a pile of publications that I think will be interesting to trawl through on a wet afternoon, when inspiration may seem scant.  I haven't had a chance to go through them all myself, just a quick flick.
