whining and dining

I feel as if I have been swimming underwater holding my breath for a very long time and I’m not very good at either the swimming or the breath holding but I think I can nearly come up to the surface because lots is done but no wait lots still needs to be done because it’s nearly Christmas and…

I came up for air today, to say hello to you and to take another deep breath before I get back to work.  I have been head down and working to get my City & Guilds files and samples up together so they can go in the post. Foolish perhaps, sending anything by post at this time of year, but I really need to get to this point and bare my creative soul to my tutor. I have lost the ability to be rational about my work so far, so I am anxious to get some indication from her about where I am.

Apart from sewing samples I have been making gifts-blurry tiny detail below of one of them and I will catch up with other images when the light improves and I catch my tail. I was hoping to finish the last kantha piece tonight whilst watching the last episode of the magnificent production of Little Dorrit on the BBC-but it’s the staff meal tonight, so I’m off out wining and dining.

I’ll catch up some blog reading soon-I have been deliberately offline-but I really want to say thank you to everyone who has left a comment. I can’t begin to tell you how much they mean to me and how lovely I think you all are. Right, deep breath and dive, dive, dive…..
