Hollywood Aspirations



I had a bit of a scrappy week at work, doing lots of “this and that”. The highlight was that an Oscar winning cinematographer (married to one of our clients) came to share some filming tips with me and our media apprentice. His advice for our Youtube tutorials was “keep it simple”, using natural light where possible and even shooting everything on an iPhone, rather than a complicated, fancy camera!




I attempted to do some simple crafting and made some fused bead shapes that might become a dangly curtain (or not.)


The weather was lovely and I sat outside to do some last minute revision for next week’s Art & Stitch retreat. I think I am as well prepared as I could be.



I even washed and dried a couple of grubby sheepskins that I have on my sofa. Nessie is allowed to sit on them so they were not so white and fluffy;)
