I made these cookies on Tuesday - using my new cactus cookie cutter and also picking more violas from the garden for the round ones. Quite fiddly and time consuming, especially when I should have been doing this:
I've had a month to get my paintings ready for the Fleet Art Society exhibition which starts today, so why did I leave it all to two days beforehand? Beats me, I don't know where the time goes! Every year is the same, I think I have plenty of time, get involved with other things and then suddenly have just 48 hours to frame a bunch of paintings. Usually something goes wrong - dog hair under the glass, glass breaking, you get the idea. This year I had no excuse not to have done these earlier as I no longer work at the school. Luckily, everything went really well, no hiccups in the process and even when I discovered one of the paintings was a silly size for normal frames, I was able to find a frame to fit it in town within ten minutes.
So off they go this morning - let's hope I get a sale or two!
The weather has been cold and wet for a while so I was at least unable to waste time in the garden. Things are growing well and hopefully this current warm spell will push it all along - there will be lots of produce if nothing dire happens.
I didn't sow these, they appeared earlier this year in a hanging basket, must have self seeded. They look so pretty all together in their little terracotta pots. Not destined for cookies!
On the needles: Cotton summer top - could be next summer at the rate I'm going.
More little things for Nudinits - you'll just have to keep an eye on Twitter for them
On the easel - Dog portrait, coming along nicely.
