Inspirations



I have always loved History, Literature and Art.........................................................................................................
beautiful things, the stuff of dreams..................................................

flowers, butterflies, fairy tales, embroidered fragments, Chinese blues, Botticelli angels, Blake's visions, Burne-Jones pictures............................................................................................

amongst many other hints and wisps of the past..........................

to catch in my net and weave into mydesigns..................

which I hope others might find as beautiful as their inspirations.

and even more snow........................



Can't believe how much snow we have had,the most I've seen for years.  Totally snowed in, not going anywhere........for quite a few days I think..............

Sunday 28 November 2010

Oh dear, still very pretty but also very worrying as I am terrified of driving in the snow (after a 360 degree spin, being written off and the worst journey of my life over the last few winters) and have already had to miss college due to lweeks snowfall. Long range forcast......BAD.........!!!!!!!!!!:-(
