My Activities

I am a textile artist living in Somerset, South West England. I love everything to do with fabric, threads, yarn and mixed media. I'm a member of the newly formed TextileSet, a group of enthusiastic stitchers from Dorset & Somerset, the online group Near & Far, West Country Embroiderers and Quirky Quilters.
I love the county of Somerset and enjoy walking my dog, Indie. I travel with her around England and France at every opportunity and we both have fun in our 'cottage garden'

Out in the 'brief' sunshine today

Well first of all, the meeting of our branch of the Embroiderers Guild tomorrow is cancelled due to flooding here in the South West - it was to have been beaded collars; beading around cabochon.

I took the opportunity to get out with the dog this morning during the brief break in the constant rain; it was very pleasant in the sunshine, but the water levels are becoming quite worrying. The river is ready to break its banks and the ford has now become another 'river' tracking along the lane leading to it.

Amongst all the water destruction are some early signs of spring.
