I have pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I am going to be a rather sporadic blog writer, so many thanks in advance to anyone who is still reading
I noticed that I need to catch up with posting some photos that I have mentioned in previous posts, so here goes.

I’m Back!

I’ve been bad and not updated for so long I think I shall just draw a line under last year and start again (actually that’s not a bad idea in oh so many ways…)  If anyone really wants to know I can do a précis of events but I will leave it for now.   At [...]

I am fairly lucky in some respects as there are few days when I am so wiped out that I [...]

So, what started me on my creative journey?
A few years ago (2002) I got very sick with some random nasty virus that completely flattened me (probably something related to glandular fever/mono but blood tests didn’t show what). During my slow recovery two things kept me going. The first was that shortly before [...]

Welcome

Hello.
This blog is in the process of being set up. It is planned that it will be a place for me to record my explorations of various art forms, currently mostly fibre based. It will also include random musings and bits and pieces of interest that I find on my ramblings around the internet as [...]
