Announcing a new online workshop!
Enjoy the delights of working with paper. Whether you want to move on in your stitching life or develop your journaling skills in new ways this is the course for you.
Catching up and updates.
A few bits of information for you. Firstly, I have started to add the new batch of hand-dyed felt to the site.
If you can’t wait for the others to be added either send me an email or complete the contact form below. The prices include postage – if you buy more than one your excess postage will be refunded. If you subscribe to the Creative Diary at the same time you will save on postage. The link does not take you to the diary but to information.
The dates for the next Be Creative weekend have been announced. The last one was a great success and there has been much action since which is wonderful. I have to say that the felt will be perfect for one or more of the prompts that I have planned for the next event. Keep the last weekend of February free for some creative fun. You don’t need to be around for the whole time – just commit to a minimum of 15 minutes! Yes, it IS possible to be creative in that amount of time. Some people have continued to use the prompts, others ignored them and just continued with something on which they were working. It was an inspiring advert -free event – no promoting or blatant self-promotion is allowed. If I can do it – so can everyone else…… Yes?
However, here is an advert! The next round of online workshops is coming soon and will include another dyeing workshop and one on using paper. If you are interested in having more information you can also let me know via the contact form.
I’m continuing to give a flavour of the things on which I’m working here, but it doesn’t tell the whole story by any means. I hope you will join me somewhere in making 2014 the best creative year yet!
Be Creative!
Creativity can take many forms and sometimes it’s good to indulge. Over the years I’ve found that doing something regularly is the best way to warm up the creative juices and find something we really enjoy. I’ve blogged about this before when I first joined postaday a few years ago and now I still post every day – but in a variety of places according to topic. It isn’t the blogging every day that has been important but the doing something that has enabled me to go on and do more. Every day I squeeze in just 15 minutes (obviously more if I can) and do something creative. I keep misquoting Picasso – but as he said ‘Inspiration comes, but it has to find you working’. My circumstances don’t always allow me to indulge as much as I would like – so those 15 minutes are precious.
This coming weekend is destined to be a CREATIVE WEEKEND why not join us? Find 15 minutes – more if the fancy takes you – and do SOMETHING! Maybe try something new – or indulge yourself in something you LOVE! Take a look here on Facebook This is the Friday page – but if Saturday or Sunday suit you better then there are events scheduled for then too. Then join us in the group It’s a closed group – that just means that you have to be approved. As it’s me doing the approving you can always let me know who you are blogwise if you wish. So far there are people from the UK, USA, SA, Aus and NZ. Several from Europe too. After last year’s illness I’m still finding it difficult to do the things I really love – but I’m determined to get back into full flow this year and finish all my outstanding commitments and work on some new ideas.
I hope you will join us, but even if you can’t maybe you will spread the word. It could be a GREAT BUMPER WEEKEND. What qualifies? Almost anything – photography, writing, poetry, carving, collage, blogging, art, textiles, stitching, embroidery, journaling, quilting ….. even numbers are creative – so…… what’s your excuse? 😉
See you there…..
