Sunday had a dry morning but a wet afternoon. Monday was gloriously sunny and calm in the morning and cloudier in the afternoon. So the weather has not been particularly helpful at weekends so far. It has two chances to redeem itself. I used Sunday to sit outside in the mild morning air without lots …
Monday – duty day at the yard and far busier than I had expected. I spent the morning resolving an accounting issue from Saturday’s busy duty. Jobs for myself included updating my card stock listing and framing three new print copies – two for the yard and one for the beach. I also added d-rings …
Yes, okay posted the next day, weary last night. Away from my artiness I used to be a teacher as I have shared with many of you when talking about my work. I left after a breakdown and still get the occasional nightmare where I am having a breakdown in a school – this was …
Thursday and a lot more open huts, 15 in fact. I started my day at the post office sending off an Etsy order for 16 christmas cards. Then it was today’s “If you go down to the huts today…” post. The weather was drier than expected most of the day so I sat outside working …
So as a member of the Purbeck Artisan Yard I do duties each month. My December duties have been fitted around my Artisans on the Beach commitments. I started this morning by posting for the Beach about whose huts would be open today. One of our aims this year is to be mindful that visitors …

Artisans on the Beach 2018 was greeted by strong southwesterly winds and rain first thing this morning. The rain became mist and eventually the day dried out. Did it dampen our spirits? No, a great first day, lots of visitors and customers. The official opening with the Town Crier, Mayor, Carnival Queen and Princess all …
In the morning on December 1st my second Artisans on the Beach event in Swanage, Dorset. Essentially I, along with 35 other Artisans, hire a beach hut from the Town Council for the period Dec 1 to Jan 2. I will be exhibiting and selling a range of cards, small frame originals, giclée prints and …
Well if I haven’t chased my readers away with infrequent posts recently. I decided enough of my excuses I needed to up my game with my online presence. So I am restructuring the web site – all constructive feedback welcomed. What lies ahead? – Meet the artist events – i.e. come into the Purbeck Artisan …
Well, hi any readers still left. I have had a mixture of moods recently. Some new work produced and a number of successful shifts at the Artisan Yard. Bay H is now being shared with Sophie of Made at Burngate Farm for the last couple of weeks. I await my latest reorder of prints and …
