Well, here we are, I have officially taken the plunge and taken on a nice shiny new studio!  I get the keys on 27th June and will begin moving in that weekend all things being well and good.
I am going to be a bit naughty and keep the final details unwraps until then, so check out the website and look out for the big announcement on the homepage :)
The studio will be open to the public, you can come and watch me at work, browse prints, paintings and cards and enjoy the peace and quiet.  There are other units around me selling a wide array of products, once I have the OK back from them all I will post some links.  Most important of all there is a little tea room with a toasty conservatory from which you can enjoy the view.  Home from home really!

I will be having an open weekend at some point, so if you would like to recieve an invitation and details please drop me an email and Ill add you to the list.

I have spent most of the past week or so getting on with some new pastels of terraced streets.  I got quite a shock when I realised how long it is since I seriously sat down and did some pastel work, having concentrated for a while on the cheeky ladies, so its nice to be back on with that, although I am in a terrible mess (dark blue pastel gets kind of ingrained!)!! As usual the painting efforts are accompanied by many cups of coffee and a wide variety of cakes and biscuits, a girl cant paint without them!!

On that rather sweet note, I shall tootle off and tidy up in anticipation of tomorrows painting efforts.
See you again soon,
Michelle.

PS apologies for the lack of apostrophies in this post, the button on my keyboard has stopped working for some reason, maybe its got jam on it!!
