On Saturday at the shop I was quite busy to start the day and then things went very quiet for most of the afternoon. I continued a new box project on a hexagonal chest. The aim to share 7 different views of Swanage Bay in so different conditions from the vantage point of our flat …
So Thursday, shop is shut, but a delivery of reprint greeting cards is due after Tuesday’s sales. I woke early and headed down as the sunrise was going on. I missed the delivery, which apparently came later and I will fetch from neighbour tomorrow. I had waited until09:00 and done some measuring up for new …
