Inspiration

I haven't been very inspired lately, as you may have gathered. Then today I walked into The Horsebridge (a gallery and event venue in Whitstable) and saw an exhibiton that included work by ...
Katharine Love
Wow.
I want. I want. I want.....

Feel free to comment!

Just a very quick post - yeah, I know it has been ages since I last blogged but I'm struggling a bit with the old blogging at the mo. It was supposed to be about things I have made and second-hand lovelies that I have found and errr...I haven't really made anything lately and I haven't brought any lovely second-hand things. I can't seem to find the motivation to get sewing or blogging lately...


I have been reading though. It's like an obsession at the moment. I have to have a book to read or I feel a bit twitchy. I have also really enjoyed writing lately - just not on my blog!
Oh and re this blog, I have had to change my comments settings. I keep getting weird Japanese/Chinese (I aplogise for not knowing which!) comments - are they spam comments? I haven't a clue, but they were getting on my nerves, so now I am going to have to approve comments before they are posted.
Please don't be put off!
Hopefully I will be back here soon, but I wouldn't hold your breathe!

Making and giving

I have been a bit quiet on the blogging front.   I just don't know where time seems to go!
I've been a bit quiet on the making front too and haven't really made anything since the baby quilt from my last post(thanks for all the nice comments on this by the way).
I did get the sewing machine out for a couple of orders for these name signs at Taking the Plunge in Whitstable, where I sell some of my stuff.



On a completley different note, my very good friend and neighbour Vicki, has recently started writing a blog Vicki's Resolution,which follows her quest to raise money for a couple of charities.  In her latest post she also mentions, Stella a little girl who lives locally in Canterbury. Stella has gone to America for life-saving, but jaw-droppingly expensive treatment. Her family are trying to raise funds towards the money they borrowed for her treatment.
Please take a look at Vicki's blog for info on the charities she is supporting and also for the link to Stella's fundraising site.

Thank you  and I will try not to leave as long between blogging next time!
