Spring at last!

Spring weather at last! It is very good to be working in the studio with the doors flung open, the sun streaming in and blackbirds singing loudly.  All of which makes summer feel much closer and I hope you like our gallery image of fabric printed with Birds 1 medium and a card printed with Birds 3 mini and Boat 1 mini.

All this is such a contrast to last month when lightning hit our neighbours' beloved beech tree taking with it our broadband supply for several days - not good for an online business! Fortunately only a very few orders were delayed - apologies if yours was one of them.  In the same week, totally unrelated but with astonishingly bad timing, the laptop died but our local Computer Shop came to the rescue in record time. We are still mourning the loss of the tree as it was very stately and provided dappled shade in our garden too, but everything else is back on track.

A refuge from the wet and windy weather!

The weather seems to dominate everything at the moment! Rain and wind (and even a few hours of snow) have lashed the new studio during January. Fortunately it is very sturdy and well insulated so I have been able to enjoy the spectacle from the lovely big windows.

I think this is the perfect time to get creative - the garden jobs can wait until the weather is a little kinder and there is nothing nicer than immersing yourself in some printing and/or dyeing and a bit of stitch ................. the occasional glance out of the window at the swaying trees and rain soaked ground will confirm you are in absolutely the best place!

Happy printing!
