YOO hOO!
How are you?
The sun’s out here in SE London, hooray! We’re up, have baked a fresh batch of brownies for the last day of Artists Open House, and I’m having a cuppa listening to the birds tweeting ☺️
Off to Havelock Walk for 11am! It’s all go but nice to have a 5 min pause after a wondrously busy week…
I had a super fun time, for the past couple of days, talking all things dOOdling at the brilliant Postcards From Midlife LIVE event at the Business Design Centre, Islington.
I donned an S-Club 7 style mic and chit chatted to the lovely ladies who came out to have a go and learn about the soothing benefits of drawing, making & doing. Thank you to all those who came to say hi!
Sadly I missed bumping into Ruby Wax who was in the same building at the SAME TIME! She’s my fave. Have I mentioned before? 🫣
I did get to say hello to the brilliant Lorraine Candy & Trish Halpin, the creators of the show and excellent podcast Postcards From Midlife (a must listen if you’re, well, in midlife), though which was very nice indeed.
Lorraine is a super keen cold water dipper too so we chatted about swimming and how it’s SO good for the brain. My brain then got on to thinking about new swimming caps for this season and took me down a scrolling path to this pic. HOW MARVELLOUS are these!
I found these on the blog The Hair Hall Of Fame.
I then leapt back to SE London for Open House yesterday where the star pic of the show is definitely Alan & Clive On The Hill. No takers yet but it’s always so interesting at shows and fairs. There is ALWAYS a particular painting that draws people in and it changes EVERY time!
Let’s see if anyone fancies it today. I’ll be in the Canvas & Cream studios, Havelock Walk, SE23 until 6pm this eve!
In other news I have a new set of IN-person workshops coming up for June if you fancy coming along for some Tuesday evening creative time. Only a few spots left so be quick!
CLICK here to book.
AND before I rush off again, I’ve had a lovely morning with my girls. We’ve been having fun making MILK moustaches.
How good is yours? 😆
Happy Sunday!
Have a lovely week,
