You wouldn’t have thought that this time last week we had just moved house and everything was a bit chaotic, if you visited our new house now! Everything is in it’s new place, furniture has been put together, we’ve even made a start on adding plants to the garden. The house is in a lovely peaceful area, there is a canal and fields just over the road – got a feeling I will be taking a few walks there for some inspiration!
Last week I was delighted to have won a handmade plaque from Wendy of 1st Unique Gifts. The ‘Home Sweet Home’ wording on it fits in brilliantly, and the plaque is now hung in our hallway as one of the first things to see when you come into the house.
I was supposed to be saving it til this weekend, but I couldn’t resist sorting out the garage yesterday afternoon, which is going to be my new workshop. Here’s the old workshop below at the old house, just as it was being cleared out last week…
…and here’s the new workshop below before I started sorting everything out yesterday! Everything had more or less just been ‘put’ in here last week as I hadn’t decided how I wanted it to be laid out.
But now it is starting to take shape…
It is much more cosier than the old workshop and should be a lot warmer in the winter. There are still a few adjustments to be made in here, and I still have some things to sort out. Then I can start making lots of new things, I can’t wait!
In other news I have an appointment at a gallery tomorrow to discuss them becoming a new stockist of my ceramics – very excited about that! I’ll be getting my portfolio and a selection of pieces together later today. There are also a couple of other shops in the pipeline for becoming potential new stockists of my work, so I hope to share the details with you soon when everything is finalised!
