I’m not quite sure what they put in the beer in the Jacob’s Ladder these days, but I woke up in the night positively convinced that there were cows with bells on in the garden! (well to be fair they do sound very like the boats clanging in the marina…)

My beach litter images are being used by a company who are making ethical & environmentally friendly corporate gifts. You can see their website here: www.re-everything.com & my work is under the ”bags” department in the products. (I’m not sure how they’re classed as bags but who am I to argue!?)

I’ve finished it!!!
Blimey, it’s only taken about 3 weeks which is amazing for me.
It’s all made out of balls of wool from charity shops.
& the best thing of all, is that the double-sided ear-flaps are really really toasty.

(slight lie above - it’s not quite finished as it’s going to have pom-poms at the bottoms of the ear-flaps - I just couldn’t wait any longer…)

Well we all somehow managed to be ready just in time with milly-seconds to spare. It’s been a full on few weeks getting ready for last night & the next 9 (8 now) days but we did it! Hooray for us at Krowji.

The weather couldn’t have been much worse without us being in a hurricane zone, & it put some people off but not everybody, & the mulled wine flowed (yum) & the mice pies crumbled (mostly on my floor it seems!) & things were admired & bought… so it wasn’t all a disaster.

By the end of the night everyone had these slightly (or not so slightly come to think of it) insane looks in their eyes with the exhaustion. (& wine) But it was greeeeat & I’m sure we’ll do it all again in the nearish future.

Here’s a picture of my studio & also of a jolly jiggedy band that turned up in the foyer ( great word, foyer) this morning out of the blue to have a practice! There was a guy on a drum that seemed to make my whole room vibrate!
