What happened next....

Things seem to be getting back to normal around here now, proper sleeping pattern, last night anyway. Not sure my brain is back to normal yet though. I am feeling really indecisive and confused, more of that later, (if you can stand it!!) This is how the french knot piece evolved, inspired by the earlier sample I found some vintage lace and incorporated it onto the surface. I really like this yet I am not sure it's fit for purpose, it's purpose being the next piece of the 'montage' I want to put together for my bedroom. I decided to play with cutwork following the natural holes in the lace, hence the huge hole in a lower image, a decision that worked despite this. We have had terrible light today, remains of hurricane Bill I think, so I couldn't get a decent picture of the piece stretched out in full which would show this clearer.

This is what I mean about it not being fit for purpose. Here it's laid next to the first part of my bedroom piece. Looks o.k.? not sure.

but here it is as intended, with space between the two, definitely not. I think it could be the blue background which wouldn't be on the finished piece, or could it be that it now needs a tiny bit of colour, a connection? Confusion and indecision part one.....I really don't know.

Normally I would think, ''take a picture with white between, add a bit of colour, see what happens'', confusion and indecision part two! Thing is I have been asked to submit some work for the Weston Arts Festival. Great, yes, but........ I have been lucky enough to get a stand at Sparkle in November, great yes, but..... I don't have time to mess about and prevaricate about an adornment for my bedroom wall!

Confusion and indecision part three....what do I make for Sparkle?? What do I send to Weston???

I think I need to make lists. I think I need to send something from the shop to Weston. I think I need to maybe make a new wrapping cloth, might kick start my brain.

I have been in the shop today to have a look at what to send. While I was there I relisted some samples and re photographed and re listed some bags, they can stay there whilst I empty out the other stuff. At Sparkle I badly want to ''shine'', excuse the pathetic play on words but it's London, you never know who might be looking! Plus it's over two days and an evening, how much stuff??? How do I make sure my stand doesn't look like a car boot sale??? how do I fill 3 panels???

No, the bedroom piece has to wait for calm to descend, organisation to happen.........

lower your head or those flying pigs might get you.
