An amazing thing happened this week. Some of you may remember my love affair with my local swan family....very sadly the cob and three cygnets have recently died. I was so upset...that I decided to plan and make a coat in memory of them. So I have been thinking 'swans'.........the other day I did a quick sketch of a flying swan. Literally 2 minutes later I received a photo on my i phone, sent from a friend, who saw the swan in the sky!! I couldn't believe that it was exactly what I had just drawn. It certainly felt like a sign of something and I felt really moved. I shall continue to plan a woven creation. In the meantime, I have finished two more scarves and am also busily planning two more workshops which take place later this week. I always look forward to meeting new 'textiley' people....we always get on so well!

The blues/greens are going into my new venture.....a coat which I am going to create with the theme of Swan Lake. This is for various reasons....first of all I am thinking of entering an exhibition called 'Weave and Sound" (I have been playing the Swan Lake music more or less non-stop this weekend!!), secondly I love the 'lake' colours etc. and thirdly, you may remember seeing various pictures of my lovely swans in a local lake. Sadly the daddy swan is extremely ill with some sort of poisoning. I am really upset about this and hope and pray he recovers. He has been sent to a sanctuary and is on a drip. So - a tribute to swans, lakes and music. The sketches pictured were painted with a feather...oh, and I forgot to mention that I couldn't resist putting in the photo of my brave cat! Meanwhile I continue to sell scarves at a crazy rate (none left at the moment, but this one on the loom.) Last but not least, I have started to sew up the latest jacket. There is going to be a fitting this week....and hopefully I shall finish it next week. Watch this space. Have a good week everybody - feels as though Autumn is creeping in.....
