makey vicky: December 2012
http://makeyvicky.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
A blog about the urge to create. Sunday, 30 December 2012. I can reveal a couple of things I made as presents now that they've been given. I got this lovely fabric from. In Canterbury with an idea to make a few gifts. Always less guilt felt buying yet more fabric when altruism is involved! I made two reversible tote bags with some linen on the other side. A made up pattern heavily influenced by the lovely. Hiroko's beautiful embroidered bags. Monday, 24 December 2012. Tuesday, 18 December 2012.

makey vicky: sicily trip
http://makeyvicky.blogspot.com/2013/06/weve-just-got-back-from-fantastic-trip.html
A blog about the urge to create. Sunday, 9 June 2013. We've just got back from a fantastic trip to Sicily. What a great place! We fluked an amazing apartment in the Old Town Kalsa district of Palermo. Apparently it's where Horatio Nelson used to come to meet Lady Hamilton when in Palermo. You can see a picture of it from the outside below. That's our front door at the bottom left, then up to the 2nd floor for views from the enormous windows of the city and the sea and Mount Pellegrino. The Noble Old Suite.

makey vicky: January 2013
http://makeyvicky.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
A blog about the urge to create. Wednesday, 9 January 2013. A cathartic start to 2013. A workshop clear out involving a hammer is a good way to start the year. I had some disastrous firings just before Christmas and it was depressing to see the evidence sat there in front of me. Nothing like the satisfying tinkle of porcelain shards to clear the head! Why my glazes came out so terribly I'm still not sure. 1260 degrees centigrade, 30 min soak, oxidation. Another burda liberty dress. The art room plant.
