Yeah Yeah Yeah


The night before the school fair, the Middle-ones played at the red house pub. Yeah Yeah Yeah. They were on tour with Jack Lewis. Anna and Grace sung on one of his songs and I LOVED it!!! You can look here as they videoed the song during the tour. The next morning, I made them cross the road to the school summer fair! Grace got one of my men brooches and Maddy got her face painted and I sold one of my new prints. It was Maddy who suggested the star... I think it looks nice.

Normandie...





Seagulls, sea, rain, mussels, seashells, salted caramels...
Trouville, Deauville, Honfleur...
It's nearly the summer holidays so I don't feel too sad to be back...
On Saturday is Carfield School Summer Fair. So, I've been busy...
Some new linocuts soon...

Il pleut des chats et chiens!

I haven't forgotten about my blog...
I have just been busy, busy...
I wonder if all the flowers on this tree have fallen down since Easter...
It has been raining so much since we've been back from Nice.
But I feel spoilt because I love the rain!

"J'ai 5 ans. Je suis Maddy. J'adore faire caca."

I made a dress adapting a pattern I had, by adding a round collar. I never did one and kind of made it up as I went along, remembering what I had read in books. It turned out well. Phew! And I love the dress!

Reetsweet was a success! Thank you if you came!

Reetsweet!!!



I have spent the morning going around Netheredge and Sharrowvale Road advertising for this craft fair. Please spread the word!





I have finally finished this doll! It is a belated Christmas present for a little girl. The pattern is from Wee Wonderfuls. I thought the doll looked a little like my mother on the photo behind...
