We are mid a bit of moving madness here at the moment.
After enjoying our block and our home for 14 years, Barry and have sold our house. The time is right and we say goodbye knowing this place has nurtured us and given us much happiness. For sure we will miss the magic of the mountains and the valleys below, but it is time for someone else to enjoy it.
As a result, there has not been much making at all.
A couple of pieces of good news however...
My poster Pockets Are Political has been shown in the fabulous printmaker's magazine Pressing Matters Vol 12.
This is such a great magazine based in the UK - full of interesting and amazing articles - incredible talent and lots of wonderful things to see, read and ponder. I am thrilled to have a wee mention.
On the other side of the globe (New Zealand) both Barry and have pieces on show at the Pumanawah Gallery at he Christchurch Arts Centre in the Love Letters: the Letterpress Poster exhibition. The show is all about the love of letterpress and would be great see (if one could travel). It has 71 works from New Zealand, Australia and the USA.
After Christchurch it heads to Auckland and to Wellington, so at least a lot of folk in NZ get the chance to see it. See their FB page for details.
Coincidentally, I sent Pockets Are Political there as well (world domination is clearly on the agenda - more pockets for women!!!).
And here is the sign that made it all real on the house front.
And a few recent cameos by the mountains before we leave...
This one is smoke haze this morning from the first bushfire of the season...
Ah thank you for sharing your beautiful view, look forward to seeing photos of the new place!
ReplyDeleteThe view has always been so calming and restful - and just a little bit magic. The new place will be different - but we will find some lovely places I am sure...go well.
DeleteIt must've been so hard to leave this gorgeous place. Best of luck in your new home.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo - it's funny how when the times right, it just is. The view has been very special and such a delight, and we have been fortunate to have borrowed it for so long...the new place is smaller, but a bit bigger than the Scottish cottage! Go well.
Deletethree-year-old P was crestfallen the other day as she realized "I don't have any pockets"
ReplyDeleteI offered to remedy the situation, but she hasn't taken me up on it ... yet
I understand that sense of crestfallen-ness!!! It is so unfair to not have pockets for stuff. I am sure you will be called upon to rectify it and they will be great! Go well.
DeleteGood luck in your new home. Hope you get settled there very soon. A
ReplyDeleteThank you Annick - it is a big job! We are looking forward ro smaller place and doing things differently - 3 more sleeps! Go well.
