JULY 31st - another month has sped by, and the last couple of days here have had a lot of rain. It is almost like the island (and probably the whole west coast) is being cleansed, certainly my windows have had a good cleaning down!

Some friends who are Astrologically minded have said to me that this August is a perfect time to let go of things; To have a good clear out, both inside and out, creating the best environment that you can now before the autumn/fall and winter come. It makes sense to me, and I am really going to try and tackle some of my clutter.

I have persevered with the home video this week, getting a little stuck on the editing still. Also have been weaving a little and crocheting, as you will see with the new stock items in Scarfs and Accessories.

The island cooperative, ORAN CRAFTS, where I sell some of my work is opening up again next week on reduced times and days, and I have been preparing, labelling and pricing stock for that. Since some restrictions have been lifted, visitors are returning to the island, be it in much less numbers. I am still very glad to have created this website, and hope to build it up to help support me through the winter and beyond.

I know a lot of you are experiencing extreme heat temperatures at present. I totally admire your coping mechanisms! and give thanks for myself that I am where I am.
