Those of you who have been following my Facebook Business page or my Twitter account or both, would know that I was recently featured in 'House and Home' magazine.
It's the Christmas Issue - November/December 2012 there are eleven of us featured in an Article called ' Your Guide to Christmas 2012' pages 105 - 109.
I was asked back in August if I'd like to be in this Issue, so after a bit of thought (about a half hour to be precise) I said yes.
It's not everyday that you get a magazine knocking on your door, it's almost hard enough to try and break into one. But, I was delighted to be asked and I'm happy with it so that's the main thing. (See Below)

'House and Home' magazine - Nov/Dec 2012
The Image is showing one of my woven lampshades (this once has since sold) and in the background you can see a detail not fully shown Image of one of my mixed media textile paintings.
I'd like to thank my friend Enda for taking the photographs, we did have a bit of a problem with the light from the right hand side and I did supply other Images, but this is the one that got chosen.
On the subject of Photography, I will be having a photographer coming to visit the studio in the next few weeks to take photographs of my work, for something that is being put together. I've been attending a Craft Enterprise Course too, for the past month in Wexford and this is part of this. It's also good to get out and meet other Craftspeople too. It so happens that when we met him last week, he looked very familiar to me and we got talking. It's funny he turns out to be an old life drawing teacher of mine.....small world!
So between then or soon after there will be buckets of paint appearing in the studio. I'm finally getting round to painting the place..white that is. Will I miss the pale pink I think... No!
I've already done a clean out so next up it's overalls and brushes at the ready, when I'm ready that is!
I've quite a lot to do between now and right up to the week before Christmas. At the moment my focus is on well....Christmas stock, not long to go! I'm quite sickened by the adds on the telly already but that's how it is I guess. It feels like winter anyway, it's been so cold!
If your looking to order from me at Christmas, can you please email me at grainnekenny.textiledesign@gmail.com and I'll reply back to you. There will be new Images of my work appearing over the next few weeks...'Gift Ideas for Christmas', on my Facebook Business page and also same on Pickit so do keep an eye.
Gráinne :)
