Last week I had a lovely email from someone who wanted their favourite 'Grandparent' saying put onto one of my plaques, the remit was quite precise and this is the finished plaque, it is my normal size of 7" x 31/2". I wasn't too sure if it would look a bit too cramped but I was pleased with how it turned out.

I was also recently asked to do an exterior plaque for 'Dad's Office', the picture of the glass of wine and book was chosen by my customer and is now attached to the door of a cabin in a garden in France. I imagine dad sitting in a comfortable chair, sipping his glass of vino while reading his favourite book.
It's going to be really busy time for me this week, I'm not complaining though, it's great to be busy, I've got a few Craft Fairs booked for the run up to a big event that's happening soon, oh what's it called?, I know it begins with the letter C, I think it might be..... Christmas. I need to replenish some of my stock, that's always a good reason to be busy, I have paintings to finish, orders to complete and a few days off to spend a bit of time with my wonderful Mumsy.

I hope you all have a good week and I'll leave you with a picture of my latest sock monkey who has found a new home.
