Saturday, that’s a work shift day so down to the shop. Thank goodness I only live 5 minutes away as I remembered to take my hammer but forgot the timber skirting boards – so a quick walk back and fetched the timber too. The section behind the door is split between the two of us …
Today, truly was a day off, except for research about printers for some new items I am considering, asking acquaintances which companies they use for certain eco- packaging, ideas for today’s prep time back in the shop. We had a nice walk this morning and while we have asked so much in the last three …
Today we visited my printer to leave my latest two pieces for prints and greeting cards to be created. Then photos taken while in Weymouth to get some lunch. Finally visit to diy supplier locally for skirting board to make into batten lips and prevent artworks from sliding off.
Well everyone it is the final day 31 of Marchmeetthemaker 2021. Looking back at the prompt sheet it is actually ‘Looking forwards’ but I have posted as “The future”. Before I focus on how this applies to me I have direct messaged Joanne Hawker who created this event to thank her because after the last …
Marchmeetthemaker day30 prompt was Range.

More tidying of decorating lines and …

Being a weekend day there is no Marchmeetthemaker prompt so I used the prompt ‘diversify’ as I have gradually started to put my art into different items like the clothing for myself, the custom hats, the wooden boxes. Before Christmas I started to …
So on Monday I shall be meeting with my fellow shop co-tenant to revise and update the shop measurements for each of our areas to ensure that we have a 50:50 distribution of wall and floor space each. Alongside the decorating I have been doing in my areas this offers a reset moment as we …
Marchmeetthemaker day 26 prompt is Favourite. I can never have one favourite piece of art. However, my favourite view from a home is my current one over Swanage Bay. Who couldn’t love this view in all weathers and at all time of the year. I share a shop to sell my artwork and it now …
Marchmeetthemaker day 25 and the prompt is Starting Point. This can be approached in so many ways linked to the multitude of jobs that you do as a small business. The initial photos are based on my Instagram post today but then I will add some extra examples as well linked to other things I …
