So up earlier and dropped off brochures as requested before being dropped off to open the shop this morning. I set up outside the shop as early sunniness, but it clouded over and a few raindrops that became a shower and meant cleaning away inside. This was repeated twice. I took some photos from the …
Apologies to anyone looking for any blog posts from me I have lost the blogging thread recently. So it is now second half of May and the business factor has picked up a notch. This week: Monday morning – spent at local primary school where for the third time I offer my 4 hour sketching …
I have included photos and mentioned the Art for fun pith helmet in a few posts. Today it was completed, design wise, there are still some layers of colour that need to be added before it is finally completed and will go on display as one example of my work at Rollington Barn as part …
Today was booking in my print order I collected yesterday, so checking order quantities and updating stock spreadsheet then storing cards in correct storage areas. Plus a bit of shop tidying. No art for fun, some customers a.m. and some nice chats. Art wise I added to the Art for fun hat.

I am not well enough to spend a day at the shop yet but dropped in to pick up the Posca markers and some items to possibly start drawing on in the next few days. I have stopped predicting when I will reopen but it will come. Inner town was very quiet in contrast to …
I had to shut the shop yesterday (Wednesday) and will need to do so again on Friday (tomorrow) as my current chest infection / asthma combination means that I can suddenly burst into fits of coughing.
