rachel commented on nuanc's group 'Writer's Pad'

wow. Thanks for all that encouragement. I will go to the link next week. This is not me procrastinating, just too many 'unfinished' projects that have to be done this week. Half a day disappeared at the hospital to-day, just waiting to do blood te...

rachel commented on nuanc's group 'Writer's Pad'

Maybe this group will give me the inspiration to go back to a project of short stories I started a few years ago. The idea has been in my head for a long time. Lack of faith in my abilities has meant that it has been packed up and put away. I no l...

I used to live in Sligo, and don't get to visit as often as I would like. I was there last June visiting lots of familiar places. Nice to have the connection. The only arty thing I am doing this week is painting walls in our new shop. But I did take some 'before' photos and with a fair wind, by the end of the week I may have some 'after' photos, so I still hope that is enough to keep me as a member of 'Being Practically Creative'!

At 4:50am on April 1, 2008, rachel said…: Girly pink. Well I quite like girly pink. But nothing like Sammy!! What colour did you think I would choose? My actual favorite colour is mauve, or turquoise, or volet, or, well quite a few really!!! Have changed my mind about Friday. I dont think I really ought to be too far away from Cols shop two days running over the hols. So I will probably come back from H'West on Thursday evening. I'll ring you later to-day. Love Arch.

At 5:59pm on March 31, 2008, rachel said…: I thought I just replied to you Heather. Where did that go? Through one of your holes! Thanks for the offer of printer. Col has a spare one at work but it only prints, it wont do my photos. You must have just been on flickr? I will ring you to-morrow. Am down H'West on Thursday as Sam is in hospital. Will be passing back on Friday evening. Will pop in if you are going to be in. Love. Arch.X

home again

Hi everyone. Back again from my travels. Budapest as usual was fabulous, took oodles of photos again. Will try and get some uploaded soon. The name plates I painted for the clinic staff were received very well and I have been asked to do two more. So I must settle back down to my painting again soon. The weather here in UK has been pretty horrible, with more bad weather to come. Budapest was up in the high 90s! Hard to re-adjust. I was bitten by a 'beastie' while I was there, and am having a bad… Continue

Hello again

Have had a bit more time this morning, to browse the site. I guess it's been a busy time for a lot of people, site feels quiet. I know I have been busy but do hope things will settle down next month. I have managed to dabble a little with my glass painting, but feel that everything I do is very amateurish. It doesn't help having all my 'stuff' spread between two locations. Maybe in July and August I can move it all to one place. And it's always the tool or brush that i've left behind, that I wan… Continue

briefly

Just a flying visit again. Need to move everything to new premises then I could get on site every day. Only 'arty' thing this week is more glass painting. I will photograph and add to page. Will play catch up in a day or two.

Back again.

Hello everyone. Just a brief visit. Wont really settle down till my next trip is out of the way. The last couple of months have been very busy. Had a fabulous time on the coach trip to Italy. Didn't want to come home! Have done nothing really arty again for a while, apart from taking hundreds of photos. Did do a couple of pictures when I got back from Scotland, but nothing since. Had my bike stolen from our new premises. Bike not a problem as hubby owns a bike shop!! but my bike was equipped wit… Continue
