Life right now.

Well it certainly has been a long week! Edinburgh was really great, I loved the city and Aral and I had a great time there. I was struck by how much space there seems to be and how wide the streets were. We stayed in a fantastic apartment, and I hope that we might return [...]

Oh ye’ll take the high road and I’ll take the low road, an’ I’ll be in Scotland before ye’

Tomorrow I’m off to Edinburgh, and I’m thoroughly looking forward to it . It will be my first time in the city, so if anyone has any suggestions of things to do/see particularly arty things let me know. I am hoping to at least visit a few art galleries. Of course the main [...]

Felting FTW

What a busy few days! Aral returned safe and well on Thursday morning, much to my relief. Of course as soon as he got home, jet lag struck and he promptly fell asleep for several hours, so it was pretty lucky that when he was at South by Southwest he had visited the Make: expo [...]

It seems like everyone is out of the country at the moment, and on Thursday that will include Aral as he goes off to SXSW in Austin TX. The traveling seems to be getting easier and I think it has a lot to do with being happier within myself and getting on with my own [...]

Fair fair

The show was yesterday and boy was it slow! I was so disappointed as it was so badly organised and it was quite a lot of money for the stall. I didn’t make a loss but I didn’t make a profit either and I won’t be going to one of their events again. I would [...]

The Calm After The Storm

Finally it seems most of the storm is over. The conference had it’s last day yesterday, and mostly everyone has gone  home or to London for the last few days of their stay. It was great to see lots of people that I had met before, and some new people as well. I was very [...]

Space

Is what I am craving today, just a little time in which to sit with my new crochet book and make some flowers. It’s the first day of the Flash on the Beach Conference today and the craziness begins. Aral’s birthday is on the eighth, that’s Thursday this week, and The All Things Christmas Show [...]

Scrapbooking 101

We finally escaped from the house and the animals, and are now residing back in Brighton, it was fun looking after the house and the cats and dog and chickens, but phew was it tiring. The cats kept trying to sleep on the bed, (all three of them) and they woke us up [...]
