Ok. Not really. Not even with eyes set at a hard squint and a huge dollop of make believe on board could you pretend this is where Heidi and her plaits live. It is however where I shall be living when I am not at work! Yes, we finally finished off the garden studio to hold the glasswork overspill from the workshop. There is even a cubby hole/nest behind the shelving for me to paint in, and electric for lights and laptop. How 'Des. Res.' is that? It will also come in handy for inviting people along to out of hours for commissions, or sales reps for new lines etc. As it stands at the moment it also makes a handy parcel store for the postman, and somewhere nice and dry for the bigger of the spiders.... why do I never find small manageable ones?
The Workshop/Gallery has been going well and art across the board is moving at a welcome pace. Highlight of the week for me was a silk painting that I had put up on the wall 10 minutes previously, being snapped up immediately. I didn't even get a chance to photograph it so you'll all have to take my word for it that was absolutely gorgeous ( it was a quartet of silk scenes depicting the seasons, for the curious minded.) Mike's highlight was putting together a website in record time to help out a customer who had been let down by another. Unfortunately, where there are highs there usually is a low too, and for the last ten days I have had a doozie of a headache on and off which has made it very difficult to look at computer screens, read anything, remember anything or be sociable, so blogging 'out' and feeling sorry for myself 'in.' Headaches have now made my H8 list, along with spiders, not being believed when I am actually telling the truth, people touching my collarbones, and ANYTHING that makes me cry apart from laughter. I'm not terribly keen on Cliff Richard either but that's a different story.......

What a beautiful little studio you have made. It looks a delightful place to work or chill out. Hope we shall get to see some of these silk paintings soon. Do hope that you have got rid of that horrible headache and the spiders. Congrats on the website Mike. Love Mems and Peps
Dear Mems and Peps,
I think you have an equally as nice outdoor room too!! I'm sure you'll see some silk paintings before too long... birthdays, christmasses, just becauses etc! Ha! Mike says check out 'Big Day Buses.com' if you fancy a google! Love as ever, Us x
That is one adorable domicile for art/whatever. The glass looks fab on those shelves!
Oh! Not the dreaded headache! My daughter has migraines,,and seeing her in the throes of a really bad one is painful even for ME!
So glad to hear it's over,,and hope the spiders got a BIG one!
Thank you Babs! I have every sympathy for your daughter- it affects everything.
The outdoor room is affectionately called the 'Outhouse" here, but I had better not bandy that around too much!!
BTW- did the photo come through ok? Only asking because I sent it through on the mobile email system and am never sure if it is as good as the normal one we use. :o)
Oh Serena, did I forget to thank you for that image? I'm so sorry,,,,yes, it came through and is perfect. I've just put off the putting it on my blog, as I have to get a certain mind set in place for the techie stuff. ( I ain't good!) So yes, thank you very much!
PS: Enjoy your outhouse,,,perfect name.
:-D
Cool!! The mobile email system is really barebones and minimalistic at best, and not at all user friendly like yahoo but I am slowly getting used to it. Just shout if you'd like any others for inspiration, projects, just becauses etc- as it's only a pleasure! X
