Back in January, I mentioned that this year I was going to make 2016 my year and just have a go at everything!
I tend to hold back sometimes and wait but if there is one thing 2016 has thought me already is to take a chance and while I can make the most of every day and everything.
So what's new?
I've already been looking into an event for 2017. (Yes just under nine months away, I move quickly!) I've been in touch with my local Enterprise board and expressed my Interest regarding that. So I look forward to that what develops from there. I've also signed up for two courses with them next month (May).
In other news, I have been approached countless times asking if I teach textile workshops?
I was also asked this twice in the past week, it's funny how things come together all at once.
I've never ruled workshops out and knew the time would come around at some point, so low and behold ... it could be happening??
I've never taught before so it scares me a little, but I'm from a family history of teachers so maybe it might come naturally, who knows! Actually I did teach a 1 on 1 with a transition year student about two years ago, on how to use a sewing machine and help with a project.
In other news, I am busily working away on my summer collection with bit's and pieces appearing on my social media pages recently. I might need you to keep your eyes peeled too ... just saying!
If anyone does happen to come across my work at any point, please do let me know as I don't always find out. But a little bit of press every now and again is a good thing and the exposure is always nice.
An example of new sea studies left into Market House Design recently.
I recently left in new stock into Market House Design in Gorey and was surprised at how quickly my lovely new teal blue/green lampshade was snapped up the following morning. I had only left the stock in the evening before. Thank you to whoever you are and I understand you bought from me before also. So in I had to run and re-place that one, there are three lampshades actually I think one, if not out on display is in the stock room. But there shall be more of the shell one's coming soon and hopefully by July, you'll be able to purchase my work online! Fingers crossed! If your a fan of my lampshades you might like to hear that I'll soon be introducing floor lights! And something small and dainty - not Interior related.
Right now, I'm trying to figure out how to change the dpi on images and send them off asap so until part 2, I have to go figure this out and send them off today!!
