Note to self........ really must get back into blogging!!!! I have not done much this year as I have been lured to the wonders of <a href="http://www.facebook.com/jane.winton.10">Facebook</a> and have become very frustrated with not being able to load photos or it taking about an hour to load one pic! managed these two in about half an hour (record!).</div>

I dont know why as I love Christmas and the feeling you get on the run up to the day. Maybe its because I just feel as if I have been rushing from one task to the next with no time to enjoy all that festive joy thats been floating around or maybe I am just getting to become a grumpy old bag!</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Well today I thought, come on put out some decorations (I had not even bothered to buy a tree!) and went up to the orchard and chopped off a few of the old apple tree branches that are covered in lichen, stuck them in a pot and got going in a very half hearted way. Then I thought why not put some fairy lights on them and delved into the tangled mess of wire and lights in my christmas bag. As I pulled them out of the bag and they clacked together the smell and noise of them brought on a rush of joyous spirit, yipee at last I feel like christmas, who would have thought something so simple would spark me off! So now I am madly decorating the house before its too late.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZuEOQBoPHzDgS-J6EbURIEBVglYH2zXF3YVhYJOHCtFTYVt7vD5DbPqa254kIGUSnkimd11neyU2hyphenhyphentIWzhqIfALlGaoh8aBuDGmeogiVixJxFjGAoluo_xWA3PoFZn4V3WI9CKs_TZc/s1600/DSC_0003.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Its not very big but the tiny cobbled streets and funny little clock tower on the beach are really charming. This time of year its very quiet as most of the houses seem to be, like many picturesque places in Cornwall, holiday homes.

In the picture below you can see Whitesand Bay where the cliff is studded with wooden shacks which would nowadays be called holiday chalets. I dont know how long they have been there I assume it was from a time before planning, some you can see must be around the 20s era and a lot have been done up to be modern dez rezzes. We only drove by and did not stop but hope to revisit for a better nose about someday soon.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000066;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg71gbg85FtcID61A4DlrODuQkcZ-K1eZHrWR4dZbIGSyEHgRVz-3cvi5Lh72A50Ugc9vP0IvxlhULOM6BGksAhUhWHPNs0P-EC2ySo3phSFOIJK3OD4Qf3zE88zucTKpHIjRC6Xzv_x0A/s1600/DSC_0039.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg71gbg85FtcID61A4DlrODuQkcZ-K1eZHrWR4dZbIGSyEHgRVz-3cvi5Lh72A50Ugc9vP0IvxlhULOM6BGksAhUhWHPNs0P-EC2ySo3phSFOIJK3OD4Qf3zE88zucTKpHIjRC6Xzv_x0A/s400/DSC_0039.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539495948684634770" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHcG-UxtGc5kBYxYFBEJTFL1sXm70YZuYg7CZO1TKY-fcrWKbodZY7X4M0M0SaAxrUtnjPcRW3MXfP6UyXl5H8jcXh2Jz1iDF93IhCitcl2QFGwOO5oNFxyTAlOUDd-NqW7mzBr7807O0/s1600/DSC_0042.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 263px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHcG-UxtGc5kBYxYFBEJTFL1sXm70YZuYg7CZO1TKY-fcrWKbodZY7X4M0M0SaAxrUtnjPcRW3MXfP6UyXl5H8jcXh2Jz1iDF93IhCitcl2QFGwOO5oNFxyTAlOUDd-NqW7mzBr7807O0/s400/DSC_0042.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539495944966570706" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMSBCOfIrRgb8UoKe0Bc-m0h-qf3_N0nL7VbVnxt1hmwdIpsakhi0TK_ivowgtisg4QX157smCPyy4yaGHCBPlab6X_zt_FvARollJbXXgdufi-I9nBCexxfmdfbAuMp7BOQRdCtipffs/s1600/DSC_0044.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 262px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMSBCOfIrRgb8UoKe0Bc-m0h-qf3_N0nL7VbVnxt1hmwdIpsakhi0TK_ivowgtisg4QX157smCPyy4yaGHCBPlab6X_zt_FvARollJbXXgdufi-I9nBCexxfmdfbAuMp7BOQRdCtipffs/s400/DSC_0044.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539495942274197698" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000066;">The camera battery ran out so I did not get to take photos of Downderry, Portwrinkle and Seaton all villages along this lovely bit of coastline.

I love to do so many things and it has been hard for me to really get on with anything of late as I keep side tracking myself into other projects. But we all know what happens when we spread ourselves to thin, nothing seems to get going so I have tried very hard to push all my other ideas aside and just paint and it has been wonderful! I am playing around with a few new techniques and researching American Folk Art and Naive painting which has been a bit of a passion for me for a number of years, trying to bring some of these qualities into my work. Its not everyones cup of tea I know and will maybe have a limited appeal but I feel like I need to follow my heart on this and not just do what I think people will buy. And I am glad to say that I have been selling a few pieces this summer in a gallery nearby and am hoping to be taken on by a few others soon, so wish me luck on that. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000066;">Here are a couple of paintings, the first is my more 'what sells' style, second one of my new pieces, quite large for me at 3 ft x 2 ft but I enjoyed every brush stroke! Its called "Reaching out" and its all about saying sorry and rekindling love and friendship. Much as I am hoping to rekindle my friendships with you all after being away so long, Sorry!</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpaNa1FNzC-GH3ZzKJgOd8p7TwqMIYw4i7B8NrBV2c9j2z6XhnqOPr0zgxMbwz_NH8whu4ZvEowc04lh-r1l76ndlKV45un2Ob6e2R7moy7yKK2CxFcEdFW9-4vX-HTSgjE-cdXhqWryw/s1600/DSC_0018.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 202px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpaNa1FNzC-GH3ZzKJgOd8p7TwqMIYw4i7B8NrBV2c9j2z6XhnqOPr0zgxMbwz_NH8whu4ZvEowc04lh-r1l76ndlKV45un2Ob6e2R7moy7yKK2CxFcEdFW9-4vX-HTSgjE-cdXhqWryw/s400/DSC_0018.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526388766395707010" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAcVPmDoa-GoYAo9zbkGkeDW_bLHztAKuRFLM3fKkuX0ea89G3Ph0cxBsoOpzx3n11MnC3_lCnmTP9zgD6nMG3qZs-rwV61PgrtiHjo44_XKlfDhisL5-fvxJD2XslbV5Q6HaQtWWt4tw/s1600/DSC_0013.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAcVPmDoa-GoYAo9zbkGkeDW_bLHztAKuRFLM3fKkuX0ea89G3Ph0cxBsoOpzx3n11MnC3_lCnmTP9zgD6nMG3qZs-rwV61PgrtiHjo44_XKlfDhisL5-fvxJD2XslbV5Q6HaQtWWt4tw/s400/DSC_0013.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526388750513489714" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">And there will be a give away on the next post, which wont be to long away this time!</span></span></div>jane and the happy crowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09575908092710442023noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4483634375787319648.post-502449319315169162010-07-13T00:24:00.000-07:002010-07-13T00:57:44.976-07:00Soon to be appearing....<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#330033;"><a href="http://homespunfair.blogspot.com">Homespun</a> is creeping up on us quickly now and I have started to get together lots of goodies for my stall.

They live in a gorgeous old farmhouse with lots of land around it where they have sheep, they used to have some cattle as well but lost them to T.B. I am here to look after the Red Setter in the picture, Boo, and the very spoilt cat Tom who adopted them some years ago and has them totally wrapped around his little claw! I also go and give the sheep some treats in the morning and am trying to outwit them so as not to get mugged as I come through the gate, some are very tame and nearly trample you as soon as they see the bucket. Chickens need feeding too but it doesnt take long to get round them all with Boo taking herself off for a run round the fields finishing every day with a dip in the water trough, then the day is my own and with only me to think about I am enjoying a relaxing time. </span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000066;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbKYTA791gaw0lp4xHICWBVwdmKOHX8aOUnPEGk8zgAIylrzuoCB-sxIDZ-V5dnLx62jFV1y5M0e-YMqJs-xtStp3pXtpEr8lvwabzuPEu9xG2ayeA89hnfprb7B3Bj5ESLc_npkqfTHU/s1600/DSC_0047.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 265px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbKYTA791gaw0lp4xHICWBVwdmKOHX8aOUnPEGk8zgAIylrzuoCB-sxIDZ-V5dnLx62jFV1y5M0e-YMqJs-xtStp3pXtpEr8lvwabzuPEu9xG2ayeA89hnfprb7B3Bj5ESLc_npkqfTHU/s400/DSC_0047.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483317503400134306" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000066;">I can sit outside and enjoy the garden.

With the magazine photo shoot looming at the end of the month we need to crack on and redecorate most of the house! Its not until you start painting that you realise just how scruffy and grubby everything has become! I still have to paint the woodwork but I am happy with the way its turned out. The blue paint was given to me by my brother who had it for their bedroom but decided it was not right so I got a free large tin of paint, I love the colour and will probably use it in the bathroom too.

A lovely day last Friday at the Shepton Mallet Antiques Fair where I found some lovely things. It paid to be more controlled this time as I am usually swept away by all the delightful things to buy and spend most of my budget by stall three!! I should have taken some photos of my purchases to show you but will do that next time. I am sure you will love my old wooden doll and early 19th century paper covered chest. Saturday we had a wonderful evening at The Windswept Cafe in Newquay (sorry to say this, but its the only thing worth going there for except the zoo). Sunday we went to an open garden along the river from us I took my camera thinking it would make a nice post but had forgotten to charge it so only took three photos! Monday woke with a bit of a sore throat. Tuesday an even worse sore throat and another horrible trip to the dentist. Wednesday full blown flu in a day bug! Managed to get a walk on the beach in the morning but almost didnt make the drive home I felt so awful and spent the rest of the day in bed. I must say that there is nothing like a big fluffy cat in your bed with you when you feel poorly, he purred and snuggled up and was better than any hot water bottle and stayed as long as I needed him. Still a bit grim today but my head is a bit clearer and my joints have stopped aching, hope I will be OK by Sunday as I am at the Lostwithiel Festival with Christine and Gertie, we all have stands next to each other, at the Community Center if you can come along. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#660000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">I took these photos of my new studio to show you, just a little snoop round.

Mr Crow spent many a long weekend making this path. I hope soon to have a little chicken run on the grass here and some bantams to listen to while I am working. We used to have chickens here but when we got the ex battery girls they destroyed the grass so we moved them up to the orchard where I hardly ever see them, so it will be nice to have some more.</span></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir1-dB1Vtxw51KRUwk-JxUTyRt1Yevj3mkoJnO9zphLjkJLs4hznGlm2WBmk9roxTkmOu0cmPDul-pTvC7hfHf9yUTO_SltjbBa9zRlT-_YtiBG36FgmZiYIAaL7dVEniFJG009mbNx3Y/s1600/DSC_0041.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir1-dB1Vtxw51KRUwk-JxUTyRt1Yevj3mkoJnO9zphLjkJLs4hznGlm2WBmk9roxTkmOu0cmPDul-pTvC7hfHf9yUTO_SltjbBa9zRlT-_YtiBG36FgmZiYIAaL7dVEniFJG009mbNx3Y/s400/DSC_0041.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470860447927675442" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3EbEtyIewm1VtItbE0ivzX09sMIzIOAn30HfRoLPxo0woTxSd7AURy6BDpckSKjVOGVrlUcfKlovM9Mgbb4N-MhFVK-nT4BmBg5Atzk1r_OoRzBJ3E_XtMUwQrTGSioEO2yqURVKGSIY/s1600/DSC_0043.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 368px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3EbEtyIewm1VtItbE0ivzX09sMIzIOAn30HfRoLPxo0woTxSd7AURy6BDpckSKjVOGVrlUcfKlovM9Mgbb4N-MhFVK-nT4BmBg5Atzk1r_OoRzBJ3E_XtMUwQrTGSioEO2yqURVKGSIY/s400/DSC_0043.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470860433348747618" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#660000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">A couple of little projects here, got these at Shepton.
