Day Ten – Friday 14th December

So a forecast of less wind from se and temperature of 4 to 5C. In actual fact the wind dropped during the day, we were treated to several glimpses of blue sky and I was able to draw outside so better than expected and more afternoon customers as well with a number of card sales. …

Day Nine – Thursday December 13th

A brief post, I sold a few cards, it was very windy from the se and it was cold because of it. Camaraderie amongst hutters with hot drinks shared and chat. Distracting passers by briefly – tomorrow is due to be calmer but colder again then a wet weekend. Sketched waves again today One of …

Day Eight – Wednesday 12th December

A south easterly wind meant one clear difference to last week, a temperature drop and noticeable wind without shelter from the huts. This is similar to the temperatures experienced a lot last year and I suspect will come as a shock to many of our Artisans who are new in 2018 who have only had …

December 10th and 11th – away from the beach.

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 …

Day Seven, Sunday December 9th…

Day six, Saturday December 8th..

Today was the Rotary Christmas event in the centre of Swanage. You had to feel sorry for them based in the wind tunnel of Station Road while we were sheltered from the wind. We had a busy day at the huts and I shared my hand drawn suit. This was an idea I had last …

Day 5 and end of week one

Lots of huts open today despite awful gale force winds and rain overnight. A wet start which dried up earlier than forecasted and we were treated to a double rainbow to the north of Swanage Bay. Customers were few and far between especially in the morning. A few more people appeared in the afternoon although …

Day Four

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 …

Day three or December 5th for you gregorians

My third day at the hut. The weather forecast promised a damp morning with a wet afternoon, but forecasts can be wrong can’t they. Last night I typed up and laminated an opening times template for each hut based on the information they had given me on Sunday. On arrival the seafront was dry and …

December 4 – a non artisaning day, well …

I have allocated two days at the start of this season of Artisans on the Beach to have days with Anne, my wife. So no artisan tasks, well not exactly. Today I posted on our accounts which huts would be open and when. We shopped for additional fitments for the hut – battery lights, a …
