This week’s highlights, in pictures: rearranging my favourite wall after its repaint. This is what I see when I’m making things.
 |
Displaying two new designs during my first Open Studios weekend (and selling them both to a truly lovely customer).
A new bench/pew for the studio (made from recycled scaffolding planks).
The masses of crochet and knitting that went on.
The exquisite cake that Celia brought to the studio on Sunday. Those are white currants and cornflowers (yes, they’re edible and taste rather lovely).
My fennel flowers beginning to make their beautiful patterns.
I don’t have photographic evidence of the following good things:
The studio and garden full of people and bustle on Sunday afternoon
Eldest’s joyful face when she saw her new party dress
Jugs of Pimms
The village water fight
..but they did happen.
Note: My studio will be open again during the weekend of 27th/28th July and there are new silver clay workshop dates leading up to Christmas over in my sidebar.
It all sounds a lot better than some reports I heard about Bucks open weeks. I am very pleased for you and hope that you sell lots more lovely things.
Oh Emma — I LOVE LOVE LOVE your two new designs. The little house is darling and that envelope — WOW — SOOOO cute!!!
Oh my goodness the white currants look like little silverpebble pearls, how apt!
Love that little envelope. 🙂

Your open studio looks all kinds of wonderful. Hope the next one proves just as fab!
Aren't good weeks brilliant?
I *love* your little collection of keys on the wall.
Gorgeous photos 🙂 Your new pieces are so cute and that bench is divine!
Sad to have missed last weekend but hope next week is just as lovely.
Happy to hear you had such a good time! Would have loved to join you. Your photo's look good.
Happy weekend!

Love your new designs, that little house is soo sweet! Glad the open studios went so well. x
Beautiful pictures and goings on, I love the cake and knitting! Really love your new designs too, that little envelope necklace is lovely 🙂 my laptop suddenly died once and years worth of pictures were lost so I feel your pain there, but it's good that it lead to a better camera in the end 🙂 good luck with the rest of open studios, have enjoyed your pictures so far 🙂 safxxx
If you lived a bit nearer I would love to visit too. I love those little envelopes.
One day your open studio will coincide with one of my visits to Suffolk and I will be very happy indeed.
That cake really does look awesome!
Oh wow,what a lovely post and what is not to like. I love your studio, the bench looks lovely. As to your designs, stunning, the cakes too good to eat, as for the knitting productive as well. I really do wish I lived nearer
Lovely lovely lovely!
I'm especially loving your wall 🙂
Love the envelope, the wall, the cake – everything, in short!
How beautiful. I'm sorry I missed you this week. I did go into Primavera and then remembered you had some things there a while ago. Its a super place. As is Cambridge. I really enjoyed my short visit.
I love the green colour of that crochet, and that cake looks divine. And your wall looks full of inspiration – it's great to display favourite images together like that. Helen

Oh my word Emma *gasp* a little tiny silver envelope – so precious.
