Tomorrow is the day that registration opens for Unearth Gather Create. I don’t mind telling you that I am incredibly nervous! But mostly excited. In fact I can’t sit still. Yesterday I worked all day on building a new site separate from my website...
There has not been much art happening here this week – just lots of admin (tax return – so glad that is over) and gearing up towards the opening of registration for Unearth Gather Create on Monday. Don’t forget there is the option to pay by...

In another life and another time, I would possibly be tempted to be a little down on how my year is going so far. I have been ill with a virus since before the turn of the New Year and I finally went to the Doctors yesterday and may have glandular fever so am taking...
