A Happy sunny Monday to you - many thanks to the artists and photographers featured in this week's mosaic. Please follow the links to discover more..... It was a frosty start here - after a warm beginning, spring has got colder and things are set to stay this way for a while. Curious and contrary spring....

A big thanks to everyone who has left comments here or over at facebook, or indeed at flickr recently. Your encouragement makes a big difference to my day. I like working quietly along, but it makes a big difference to me, to connect here and elsewhere. So thanks. If there are any features, blog posts you might like to see in the future, let me know. If you are new to reading this blog - hello to you.

This week I am working with thread, paper, paint, tinkering with natural dyes, because I can never have too much hand dyed fabric and the fresh herbs are appearing.... I'm hoping to have some new ideas on paper, and perhaps see my way into starting on a new larger embroidery piece. 

Shop update this week will be Thursday or Friday, not sure just yet so will let you know here/and/or elsewhere. I like to update about once a week, but sometimes I might just add one or two things as a surprise, between times.

Many thanks and enjoy your Monday x
