Also just joined twitter. Not tweeted much yet - finding my feet - but looking forward to sharing what I'm up to more frequently via twitter through my phone.

Talking of phone - it's in A&E AGAIN. Dropped it in a bucket of water this morning. Trying to fit in too much before school run!
Tucked up in a bag of rice on top of Aga drying out. Lost without it. How sad!

Peter Ross from Scotland on Sunday came to interview me at the end of September regarding the use of Taxidermy in my work. You can read the article here

Julie Howden from The Herald newspaper came to photograph me the day before I left for Philadelphia.

The article was published when I was away so I haven't been able to get a copy of it however Julie kindly e-mailed some images over to me.

I'm working away on several orders that have come through my website. Also preparing for next Sundays open studio - Ian has just brought down Christmas decorations from the attic.

The boys will enjoy Christmas decorations going up earlier this year.

It's been a very busy, exciting time.

I'm just back from exhibiting at the PMA Craft Fair in Philadelphia, which was a hoot. Thanks to Craftscotland and fellow makers from Scotland for making it such a successful enjoyable show. 

I've just sent a collection of work to 'Electrum' in South Molton Street, London as this months CAA Focus Exhibition.

Dazzle opened in Manchester today. I have stocked them up with plenty of new work as well as some old favorites.

Here in town I have work in the 'Craft in Dialogue' - Inches Carr Trust Exhibition at the Dovecot, Infirmary Street, Edinburgh.

I also busy preparing for my first ever open studio event in just over two weeks time on the Fourth December.

Details above - I plan to have various current ranges of work as well as samples and discontinued pieces at bargain prices.

To get an idea of numbers it would be good if you could e-mail me to let me know if you are planning to come.



For those of you in and around Winchester, a visit to the Brooks Centre is worth a look.
The Pop Up Design Shop initally opened for the duration of Winchester Fashion week, but has proved so successful that they have extended their opening until the end of the month.
I have never shown at a 'pop up' shop before - it's a great new way to sell and buy!
The organiser Suzie Brown makes some great lampshades.

These aren't great photos but I'm excited about a new range of enamel work I have been doing.
It's currently on show at Dazzle during the Edinburgh Festival at the George Square Theatre until August 30th.

Any excuse for an ice cream from Peters Yard or on a day like today - Coffee and Cake, Fika as they say in Sweden.
