February 25th
How is it the end of February already!! Things have been busy and not helped by a week without heating and hot water (my studio was freezing). I am delighted to be working with the wonderful Green Pebble on marketing my notebooks and to the 3 new shops who are stocking my gift range.
I am doing a workshop in a couple of weeks with people who suffer from Parkinsons disease which I am looking forward to and am enjoying creating some new pieces together with getting orders out the door.
