I've been spending a bit of time getting ready to teach several workshops....so it came as a surprise to get an email today telling me that I was no longer required. Apparently nobody wants to make cute little cushions, and someone else has been lined up to do the linoprinting workshop we'd been discussing, which is unprofessional, but without a contract, there's nothing I can do. Wish I'd known that before I bought the soft cut for it. So...that was something of a waste of time... and money...and materials... I now have three wee cushions made up as samples. Oh well, they'll be useful for something, I suspect. It was suggested that I rent the space, but given that I'm not welcome to do workshops for the shop, I don't think I'll bother renting the space. My idea was to support a new local business, and meet a few new people into the bargain, not to become a workshop provider. Yes, I'm offended. And upset. Won't be leaping before I look in future.
The image is pure eye candy, dyer's chamomile from my Norfolk garden. Reminds me that I want to try growing it here, too.
