Well, I do that anyway! so not much change there! I did do this at the weekend…
But after 31 years thats only a little change too!
I’m trying to keep up a work routine, although that little inner critic voice is saying “Why??? Everything is cancelled or postponed!” So, I’m shouting back – “Because being creative is good for your wellbeing you Numpty! And we have to believe that shows and exhibitions will return at some point – don’t we?”
So here’s this morning’s progress on my hare in the wild flowers. It took me a little while to identify all the flowers I was including but there’s yarrow, lady’s bedstraw and greater knapweed. I think there will be some low growing flowers and some grasses too. I like the idea of Yorkshire Fog- that’s Holcus Ianatus – it sounds like an incantation doesn’t it!
So this one will start to get appliquéd and stitched in the next couple of days.
Here is the second piece I finished recently, again it’s 40 x 40cm, unframed as yet. It shows part of a walk we took last Summer, along the Glen Rosa valley on the Isle of Arran. Looking at it, I know where I’d like to be today – but the sun is shining outside and I have some seeds to plant in my little garden later and Glen Rosa will still be there when we all get through this so, chins up everyone – get creative and take care of yourselves 😉
