​This morning I had a rummage in my dyed and printed fabrics box and, yes, two pieces done a year or two back.     The colours remind me of Greece - the blues of the sea, fishing boats, distressed paintwork.

May be I should get out the silk screens, make up some print paste and have a play!

I haven't quite got back into the rhythm
​of blogging after changing my blog hosts.    Will try to do better!


April and May were definitely unseasonal, so grey, wet and cold.   There were workshops here and there.  Plenty dyeing of threads..   A little stitching but no gardening!

Drastic action needed.    We found an 'empty' week and escaped to Greece, Kalamaki to be precise, in the Messinia region
of the  Pelopennese.    Way off the tourist trail,  no big resorts
or crowds, perfect.    
Where to stay?   We did a search and found Villa Petra.    Niassia and Nico were the perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble.   Our apartment was huge with all you could want, and more. (website in Links).

So, days on a deserted beach looking across the bay to
the majestic Taygetos Mountains - we were enjoying the
sun whilst the opposite coast was swathed in mist and we
could see snow on the mountains ;  a little culture at
Ancient Messini, which was incredible;  a trip to the main 
town, Kalamatta, which was interesting in so many ways!  
The ancient centre is the home of the  Messini Museum full
of wonderful objects, a feast for the eyes. 

There are more photos on Instagram.

Workshops - all the stitching workshops are now fully
booked.   There are a few places left for indigo, procion dyeing
and the 'Messy Day" workshop.   For more information
contact me.
