Commission

I finished my commissioned piece late last night and I am delighted to report that the customer loves it! I know that if someone approaches you with a specific request to make something for them from scratch it is probably safe to assume that they like your work, well even so, it doesn't necessarily stop the ''oh my goodness, will they like this, is this bit o.k.'' kind of angst. Happily though they appear more than delighted...phew, and thanks Virginia, it's been a pleasure. (mostly anyway, if you discount the sleepless nights!) I have photographed it from every possible angle to try and get a true reflection of the piece, even the obligatory folded images have been used. Somehow the flat, full image way below here doesn't do it justice, I hope these images give you more of an idea, a feel for the piece.

In the intervening minutes, whilst things have been damp stretching etc I have also made some of these. Guess what they will be? I am sure you will get it straight away I am so predictable!! So, as you can see I am still in ''Makey Do'' mode, producing for the fair. I have so many things I want to make, more dolls, more cushions, lots of buttons but it's back to work on monday, production will slow, it's inevitable. Hey ho. that's life. If I didn't work I don't suppose I could afford to go on a self indulgent jolly to the other end of the country to maybe sell zilch, zero, nothing, so there are advantages to the daily grind.

Enjoy what's left of the weekend, I am off to make dolls, buttons, puffs and pillows!!
