Autumn News

Hello, golly I can't believe my last post was in July...oops!
I'm not one of these constant weekly or even daily bloggers, as I would not get much work done.

So to bring you up to date.... I opened up the studio, it's become a really nice space to work in and I love it. Everything has a place which is typical of me, as I like to see everything and colour co-ordinate yarns and fabrics as I find it easier to find what your looking for.
The walls and the ceiling are white, it was goodbye to the girly pink soft hue but I kept a bit.
A few weeks ago I had a photographer in to take photos of my work, the photos are actually for the trail booklet that is being organised at the moment. So he was going around to everybody.
I am closing now for the month of October and will re-open in November.
I am doing the Wexford Opera Fringe Festival where there are eleven of us exhibiting together from the 26th - 31st of October at Whites Hotel in Wexford town.
So I decided to shut to get ready for that and get myself prepared for the Christmas season that will soon be upon us. I'm not counting the days.....I know some people are (Crazy People!!)
I know I will when it gets to December perhaps, but I think everybody does but they don't admit it!

I was asked to appear in 'House and Home' magazine again, they gave those who appeared in the article last year first preference for this year, which was very nice by the way. I got the call in August. I'm actually declined this year for reasons of my own. Some people might think I'm crazy but that's my decision. I appeared in it last year so I've done it once, so not this year and anyway it gives someone else the opportunity which I'm sure has already been filled as they start their Christmas Issue early. It was very nice to get asked again and I will remain in contact and maybe during 2014 something just might pop up in one of their Issues. Keep watch!
I did however, place a small add in the local Gorey Echo newspaper recently to highlight the studio.
But do keep an eye out between the remainder of 2013 and certainly during 2014.
