Almost there....

In three days time I'll open my doors along with 93 other participants in this year's Spring Fling across Dumfries and Galloway. This last week has been a bit hectic with being away for the weekend and the day to day activities that seem to eat into what little time is left.

I was at Abbey Cottage tearoom at New Abbey on Monday morning hanging work in their gallery . As my studio is in my dining room then Abbey Cottage has allowed  me a bit of extra space which is great.

I had a huge clear-out and clean of my studio  today.Tomorrow I'll collect the last of my work from Phil's Frames so I can finish hanging my work ...and the tricky pricing.....
I've had some cards printed which I'm really pleased with  and daughter Bea is preparing her pop-up bakery for the weekend.She practiced with a Victoria sponge for my birthday and the results as ever ,were delicious.....

This piece is a detail of Orkney cliff- face:watercolour,Inktense pencils ,watersoluble graphite pencil,pen,coloured fine tip pens,silver leaf...A time consuming piece but looks really effective in its frame ....It's on show at Abbey Cottage .....
