.....except that it really hasn't been as jolly as it should have,
what with the awful British weather
combined with the awful British politics -
nothing for it but to bury myself in my studio and make stuff!!!
I pretended it was Summer
by making loads of coastal-themed things!

On the few sunny days we had,
I was out in the yard
cleaning up and sanding down my driftwood stash
ready for assembling with the ceramic pieces.

I love the way the grain of this piece of wood above
looks like choppy waves!
Made these little cones ages ago,
so it was good to finally assemble them
on to driftwood to make wall vases.
The green one sold within five minutes of listing in my Etsy shop!

These little boats with heart-shaped sails
no longer linger in a corner of the studio!.
Now they've been mounted onto driftwood
with a hanger on the back.
Restocked things that sold from my Etsy shop,
like these little Paisley tealight holders.
And still trying to catch up -
have got lots of work in progress
which will come through in the weeks ahead.

It wasn't all work and no play though.
We went off to Wembley to see this bloke again,
and he was brilliant, as usual!

and we went to see our youngest's
Illustration end of Degree show -
for which he got a First! Well done Joe!
That's the last of the three through Uni
and out the other side! Phew!

And now, I think it might be time
for a little holiday in the Dordogne,
where it has been known to be warm
and sunny in the Summer months!
