July 17th. - It is Friday of this week before I am getting around to writing my blog notes. The week has been pretty uninspiring in terms of the weather - dull, overcast ,misty, and if not raining, a real dampness in the air.

I had a lovely set of e-mails from a friend/customer in The Netherlands this week. She bought some shawl pins, and then also sent a photo demonstrating how the shawl pins can also be used as hair pins.(particularly useful at this time to many who have long enough hair now to pin up.) Much appreciated !

I have been continuing with video making, learning a little and making some serious errors, like deleting portions of film which were part of a sequence….but what can you do? - just learn for the future and hopefully not make that same mistake again.

Today it is bright and sunny with great white clouds riding across the blue sky, the wind bringing a fresh energy and a much more positive and creative sense of how life is.

I hope you are all staying well and feeling the optimism of your day, wherever you are and whatever you are doing.
