Time to Head Home

Just heading home after a lovely few days visiting the family in Wales. Jasmine my beautiful niece is growing so quickly but is full of lovely smiles although this one is hidden by the dummy.



Had a great time at the rugby although Wales lost to England. You can't beat the atmosphere of the Millennium Stadium on international day!

What Happened to January!

I'm not sure what happened to January, what with the children being off school and then coming down with a virus that knocked me off my feet for nearly 3 weeks. So all those well laid plans I had for making new work in January have gone by the bye. Have put lots of ideas and some designs put together on paper so watch this space over the next couple of months!!

But very disappointed not to be submitting work for the new exhibition at SpaceCraft and the Welsh School of Glass exhibition this year being held at the Waterfront Museum in Swansea.

I gave the market a miss in January due to being unwell and it was also very cold and quiet, but hope to get back their for Sunday 13th January.

I'm off to Wales tomorrow to see my lovely baby niece and so looking forward to giving her a cuddle.

Snowy Scene From Templepatrick, Co Antrim

I took this image earlier today at the Hilton Hotel in Templepatrick, Co Antrim. It's a picture to the 1st Hole of the golf course, unfortunately it's been over 4 weeks since it has been playable and will probably a good few weeks until it sees play again. Looks picturesque though.

Compostable Bags

It really annoys me when you buy compostable bags for your food waste and they decompose before they even see the bin. How is this saying resources if you have to throw half of them away!!!

Commission Finished

I finally finished the small commission I had for a wedding present on Saturday and managed to negotiate the snow to get into Belfast to deliver it on Monday. Unfortunately it was such a rush to get it done in time I forgot to take an image of it!

Last Sunday at St George's Market before Christmas

It was the last day of Sunday trading before Christmas at St George's Market. But most probably not the best day for all the market staff who had there Christmas Party last night!

Brilliant band playing and great atmosphere, even if not as busy as we expected but there was snow on the ground.

Now looking forward to getting ready for Christmas. Belfast here I come!!!

It's Snow Business

I seem to have had a hectic couple of weeks what with making and selling at St George's Market as well as having a small glass commission to make for a wedding present for a couple getting married over Christmas.

The weather conditions are not helping either with about 18 inches of snow on the ground by this morning. But everything is finally finished and once St George's Market is over tomorrow (Weather permitting) I can at last start my Christmas shopping and getting ready for Christmas.
