Welcome, Sunshine!

What lovely weather we have been having lately! And how very inspiring it is too!

Over the past week i have been enjoying the sunshine immensely, and have been soaking up all the sun and all its glory around the lovely Sussex! 

All this beauty around me has given me the urge to paint again, and to snap up lots of pictures everywhere i go!

Here are a few moments that i couldnt pass by:

I hope you too, are enjoying the summer!

Theres No Place Like Home...

I am currently home for easter for a brief two weeks, and am feeling a little sentimental about how lovely it is to be back!

A little birdie told me...

Flower Power!

Hello all :)
As today is such a grey day, i thought i'd add some colour to our lives!
And seeing as all ive been looking at for the past 8 weeks have been flowers of all different types and colours, lets add a little bit of flower power to this old blog!
Hooray for flowers!

Aw wasnt that nice! All taken from my mothers lovely garden back home in sunny old sussex!

We have just started our new module: EMBELLISHMENT!  And we are starting with embroidery, my FAVOURITE! So i will be sure to report back soon with new and exciting bits and pieces of all kinds of embroidery! Woo and Yay!

Welcome To My World

I feel i may have gone a bit mad with the first few entries, i do appologise! I get a bit excited a bit too easily! I will try to keep future blog posts a little more quick and snappy in the future!!

But before i do that, i thought i would show you a little bit of my world, and let you in on why culture is such a strong passion of mine.

I have spent the past year travelling and living in such rich and fantastic communities in Tanzania, Kenya, New Zealand, Bolivia and Peru. Doing this has allowed me to meet the most amazing people, find a new understanding and attitude to life, and learn new and exciting crafts and ways of life. And this is only the beggining! I intend on visiting many more enchanting cultures to really absorb their way of life and their intense cultures, learning their crafts and approaches in textiles amongst other things as i go.

So instead of rambling on and boring you, i'll show you some photos i have taken along the way. I hope they give you the same rush that they give me.

Lots of love!
