I have started my Artist in Residency in the Infant school.....have had the first two sessions making fabric flowers and leaves with 120 4 and 5 yr olds .......they were all stars........Yay the first part of the textile mural underway.......more news next week...
Now you see him ...now you don't ..Jim camouflaged on our River walk ........
Countryside day at St Catherine's hill ........fun with a drop spindle .......yes it was fun despite that frown of concentration !!......
Georgie today sunning herself ....she is now in her 21st year and very frail ......I fear that we may not have her with us for long now ..........
have been offline for a while so just catching up with everyone in blogland ....it's good to be back .........x
120 kids, oh you are a brave, brave soul!!!! Jim looks like he's growing his dreads again, is he? Kitty love, 21 is rocking it, wow. Hope you are well. xox
120 4 and 5 year olds!!!??? Oh my, you must be some kind of saint of patience! Good luck, you sound as though you are having fun. I had a cat who lived to be 21 also. That is the longest I have ever lived with anyone! She was such a sweetie, never gave me a bit of trouble. I hope your Georgie goes easy when her time comes. Mine did. What a blessing.

I am a qualified Textile Teacher but now I am lucky enough to follow my dream being a full time Textile Artist and I love every minute I spend creating in my studio at The West Wing. I am passionate about textiles and am privileged to share my skills with others.
I run workshops for schools, colleges and groups.
I work 1 to 1 with individuals who might want help with basic sewing or more advanced techniques.
Commissions are always welcome please get in touch with me to discuss your requirements. No textile job is too small .....:)
I sell my work through Etsy and you can find me on Facebook at Artymess Textile Art ...come and say hello.
Thanks for taking the time to have a glimpse at my world.
Thanks for stopping by to say Hello. Here I post snippets and snapshots of my life. Feel free to leave a comment or E mail me about anything you like. I am happy to hear from you.........Lorna xx

Come and visit my other blog ArtyMaker..I have been lucky enough, along with 8 other Textile artists to take part in The Enliven Project....a project organised by Eastleigh Borough Council....which means that we are working as artists in residence in local Charity shops ...we will create an outfit out of goodies we find in our allocated shop which will be put on display for a month. The outfit will then be featured in the Eastleigh music Festival weekend in July
Here is the facebook page ..with lots of pics .....
