feeling much happier now....I've picked myself up & its spurned me on to doing something positive...as I've said before I don't normally do shows - usually just selling my work via galleries , but I'm now doind two shows & a solo exhibition . The first is a arts & garden fesival where people open up their gardens for the public to see & in each garden there is also a artist displaying their work - I thought i would give this a go as it will display my work well, its at the end of May in a nice village not too far away,so hopefully the weather will have picked up by then . The 2nd show is a huge arts festival at Patchings farm at the begining of June so I'm really really busy making loads of new work - love being busy today is the 1st day I've taken off in weeks , & thats only because my wonderful dog Fraiser has donated blood again this morning. oh I'm sooooooooo proud of him....hes zonked out fast asleep on the sofa now he didn't even know he had had anything done - he had 3 nurses tickling his tummy so he just layed their & enjoyed all the attention
