Relaxing and Markets

We have had some lovely weather lately and been able to enjoy a few BBQ's outside in the garden with friends.

there is nothing like sitting round the chiminea putting the world to rights on a lovely warm evening--its amazing just how much heat they put out!

Bill bought Sparky-cat a new catnip plant when we were on the market last Sunday as Sparky has managed to kill the old one by rubbing it to death--even though it had been covered with a wire hanging basket to try and protect it! Bill put the new one up on the table until he was able to plant it but Sparky smelt it and got up there and knocked it down--he was going mad rubbing in it bless him!

it was lovely to get the lights and fountain going on the pond again--the fish seem to love the lights--they change colour and the fountain changes too--the water goes in opposite direction--lots of excited fishes to watch!

the weather was gorgeous on Sunday-so we were able to put paintings all round the outside of ours stall !I have had a lot of new cards done by our dear friend Lin so had to get the small card rack out as well to display them.They sold like hot cakes on Sunday and even more today-so will be emailing her the ones I'm short of again soon!

We spent the whole of yesterday sorting out the van and garage.. what a job! We had so many duplicates of paintings on board the van--now they have all been sorted--as have the boxes of 'stuff ' encaustic art,art materials for sale, brushes etc--now everything has its proper place--for now LOL.....

I have got this version of Frosty Reflections done ready for Saturdays workshop--I had sold the blue version a while back and was left with just the purple version

had some rain today just before we packed up so all the plastic sheets we use to protect our stall had to be hung in the garage to dry!
