last minute january

yes, indeed, my january has been all a bit last minute to be honest - it's just so dark still and i'm constantly tired....yawn......

really looking forward to spring!

in the mean time, i realise i've left uploading my december 'iamconsumer' offerings until pretty much the very last minute of january - what a slow slow loris i am, sorry!
but, which did make me think, ocht i'll just wait till january is over and upload the two months at the same time....genius!
i thought this mainly because my pc is heading on for being twelve years old (!!! i know!!!!) and it does take forever to crank the old dear up, before i can get scanning....
and even then it's a rickety, shockingly slow affair....
so i try to put it off as much as possible, as you can imagine.....
that's my excuse, not a good one really, but at least it's a true one!

so, instead, until january ends, i thought i might advertise going to see another of my art works - yes, you can see it with your bare eyes!!! argghhhh! blimey, yes - and perhaps, depending how gallus you are, you could touch it or give it a poke even!!!!

hahaha! actually forgot to tell you where it was - this is an edit to my original post, hahaha!
you can tell i don't have a trumpet, can't you?
Royal Scottish Academy

the show is on till 31st of january, so best get your skates on!

if you have no skates and no desire to poke the piece, here is a pic of my big gurning cheesy grin up close to it....

the work is a hand embroidered footstool depicting the life of Arabella Stewart, contender to the throne - the technique is known as blackwork and was a popular style practiced during the time of Stewart's life  (1575-1615)

catch you all in february - till then, stay warm xxxxxxx
