Exhibiting opportunity

Hoorah, got an email from a lovely lady from PAD gallery who came into my shop and liked what she saw! They want to show some of my work, which is so great, feel like things are coming together and my hard work is paying off. Sometimes it's really difficult to stay positive when you're having quiet days and customers are a rare sight, just goes to show that things are always bubbling away under the surface...

I've been reading this book today. It's great!
Wish I had some money, yo! Then I'd get me all kinds of treats...

Feeling a little more back on track, life is absurd sometimes isn't it? I wonder about reality...
Anyway, I'm doing some 'real' things this evening, to make up for a day of lazing and reading the Sunday papers. I received my Pfaff 2170 on my return from Italy, so I'm just installing the software. I can't wait to get embroidering! Got some ideas for accessories on the boil...All will be revealed. Here's a lovely picture of an olive tree in Tuscany to remind me of holiday time, a lifetime ago.

I've been thinking about what to do for my autumn/winter connection and considering life cycles and transition as a key theme.
