Embroidery Design

 I've been working on my embroidery skills and recently had a lesson from RSN tutor, Sara. Sara encouraged me to work on my own design, see below. Looking forward to translating it in to stitches...

Creative Day at Hackney House

Spent a very interesting morning at 'Creativity Day' hosted by Hackney House, listening to two different panels of creative speakers whose talks centered around the relationship between their products or practices and the internet.

A wide range of topics were covered and items were even launched from the stage at one point, including Soreen and Richmond Sausages - you kinda had to be there.

My favourite quote of the day was from super cynicist and funny man Mr Bingo, who came out with 'EVERYTHING IS ART.' A slushy comment from a true cynic - but he was convincing.

Tons of free pamphlets and a Richard Nicholl tote too, woohoo!

Hackney House is open until the Olympic Closing Ceremony this Sunday, so if you're in the area you can go check the place out - it's open in the evening too.

Ode to Preston

Tribute to the flea market I went to in November - this was done by a friend of the family's and is looking rather festive in our living room at the moment.
