Its been a few busy months.  Family life and work life have had us on our toes.  I was really very sorry to pull out of last weekends 'Lainston House' CLIS Christmas event, enormously sorry to any of my clients that came along to see me.  Events beyond my control.

Have been working hard though on some new work.  Am currently working on a large 1 x 1m painting all about the Village Summer Fetes - events close to my heart!  I love them and they are so much fun.

Am booking up courses too - or rather they are getting booked up fast!  My one-day workshop in Stockbridge is looking good and only last week we have decided to offer a 'Come and Make Christmas Stuff'' do which is going to be so much fun!  I am working with a wonderful Lady called Marion that is brilliant at making 3D things and am really excited about the courses we are offering - thankfully, it seems..so are you!

All the best - Samantha Barnes
