Don't forget to make some art

Neil Gaiman 

Photo overload. I know, I know. There was actually so many more pictures than this, I cut them down!
Anyway, I decided to do a post on one of my textiles units. This was actually the last unit, and I quite enjoyed it. I didn't make a beautiful garment at the end, but I still like my sketchbook and the samples I did do. Stitching can be therapeutic I think. It takes forever and a day though. I'm not the most amazing artist, so excuse my disgraceful drawings!

You can never visit the same place twice. Each time, it's a different story

I would start by apologising for the heavy imagery, but there was no shorter way of summarising my trip.
As you can see, like Ambreen, I too escaped from Manchester for a quick holiday. I took a short break to Germany and Holland with family; my second holiday in the space of two months, what better way to start the year?
