But - I have a rather pressing issue ... this month's scavenger hunt ! So with a coffee to hand, a sleepy dog on my feet and a list of words to complete I must get on!
The words were inspired by last month's weather - which continued all through October too unfortunately.
Umbrella
Wet
Puddles
Overflowing
Splash
No words are needed for this - but for clarity refer to - umbrella, wet and puddles....
It has been this kinda month................
My life was completely eaten with TAM's art trail weekend, this year was the most complicated, with the most venues and more artists we have had before. What really got to us - was how needy and demanding people are. How their own problems and issues seemed to negate any one else's feelings or requirements. How adults turned into wining children when their art wasn't being purchased, when the rain did not stop, when the venue was cold. Their demands for instant attention and action even when we were busy ourselves. Even late at night.
Any way - this week as been one of reflection, tidying up, folding away, paying of bills, returning of table covers, finding and returning lost property...... and undisturbed sleep.
Today, after a few chores, I will be painting again - I've missed it, my creativity had to take a back seat for most of October and now - this is MY creative time (besides I need a table load of arty things for Saturday so I best get on!!)
Until next time - it is good to be back xxx

Beautiful photos, as always - you know I can never see too many pictures of the wonderful Miss Moss.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on TAM, and shame on the selfish people who have made it so hard on you and the others who have given so much of yourselves to make it a success for everyone. I very much hope you will not allow yourself to be sucked back in and that you step back so that another group of people can organise the next one. 💐💐💚💚
PS: Daisy and I would have hated crossing that bridge too. xxx
ReplyDeleteWe were very brave coz we then had to walk back - in a very controlled fast gallop!
DeleteIt's good to hear lots of your art work sold and I hope you get some done for this weekends fair.
ReplyDeleteVery WET pictures, not quite so bad here in Suffolk....thank goodness
Oh Kate, you are such a giving person of your time, I feel for you with those who can't just look out for themselves & let it be. Yes, it's great if their work sells well, but there are highs & lows for all of us and they should accept that without taking it out on others. Have a lovely creative weekend & hope all goes well. Take care & huggles.
ReplyDeleteLove this post! Moss did you proud. I have 2 favourite photos, splash and the last one. I hope November will not be as wet....
ReplyDeleteWow that is a scary amount of water, I can understand why you did not want to cross. Love your photos even if they do remind you of a less than enjoyable month for you.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear that all your hard work for the art trail was found wanting by some, I hope that you are able to find the time for your own work and that Saturday goes well.
Fabulous pictures 🙂
ReplyDeletethank you x
DeleteLovely pictures as ever. Love all of them but favourite has to be the last, Moss all covered in mud and as pleased as Punch with herself. People may have been awkward but for someone who walked around most of TAM exhibits, you would not have known there were any problems.
ReplyDeleteI remember doing craft fairs years ago with my teacup candles and people do like to have a good moan. I used to wear lots of layers and always brought a flask with me. Great pics of Moss. It certainly looks like it's been gushing with you. X
ReplyDeleteAll great photos, I love the very muddy Moss, but my favourites have got to be Splash and Wet -how cut does she look in that one?! :)
ReplyDeletethat should read 'cute' by the way :)
DeleteI'd not noticed 'cut' and knew what you meant!
DeleteMoss is the perfect model for this month! From splashing in the puddles to getting totally muddy, so adorable!
