A week of firsts

Its been a busy ‘ole week here in Glittering Shards land. We have had dear friends visiting all week and this weekend too.

I have finished another mosaic piece for an exhibition – will post pics in the week – and have started on a beautiful, delicate commission for a 40th wedding anniversary.

Workshops continue apace – 3 a week at the moment – with students (all beginners) launching into some pretty exciting projects.

I am also in full preparation mode for 2 more community art projects which I am really looking forward to.

In the midst of all this activity, a week of firsts:

…the first day of going out without a coat or jacket
…the first opportunity to hang the washing out to dry…

… our first day back at our lovely community farm after the winter break and the first lawn mow of the year. Oh the smell. Bliss. Yup, spring has definitely sprung in London town. Blossoms are out in full force. I feel like sitting under the candy pink blossom in our neighbour’s garden for hours just to take it all in before it goes (which it does all too quickly).


To round it all off, I am now into week 4 of the 30 day vegan workshop and doing great. Have got  the whole family drinking green smoothies – we are bouncing full of sunshine and happy vitamins! Hope sunshine and goodness is reaching you too.

    well done you! So many good things. I've just emerged from the art residency, tired with so much to process as well as handling family trauma in the midst too. But we are muddling through. Am now catching up with myself and blog land!!
