Dumfries House, near Cumnock, Ayrshire

What a great day in Ayrshire! Clear blue sky, very sunny and a very slight breeze - perfect! Went to Dumfries House which was the home of the Grand Steward of Scotland, Marquis of Bute.

We didn't go inside as there was a visiting party but managed to stroll around the gardens. We will definitely go back for a visit inside. Did a touristy visit round Cumnock and went to the Baird Institute (museum). Really interesting - there was a clock made and designed by William Crawford of Cumnock (my Dad's name) may be a connection perhaps?

Came back and sat in the garden enjoying the last rays of sun.

Perfect . . .

Will post some pics later . . .

These will be 2 hours long and will offer a project which can be completed on the day. All tuition, tools and components will be included for my first workshop: Saturday 19 June, 2010 - make your own Brooch!

Hi

Had a very busy day at the show. Thanks to all who expressed an interest in my work and those who placed orders. I look forward to hearing from anyone who may want me to design something for them. I'm all set for tomorrow and would expect it to be very busy again.

Won't be staying up for long - falling asleep already!

Goodnight all . . .

Scotland's Christmas Fair

Busy getting ready for the big event - Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 December. It looks like it will be very busy so I will need to have enough stock for sale. Could be busy on Saturday night too! Here's hoping!

Not at work tomorrow so should be able to get organised.

Looking forward to Christmas and a rest!
