Well that's my first ever Open Studios, and after all of my initial worries, that
a. I might be sitting there on my own for the whole weekend
c. People might comment on the state of the garden (it's a work in progress, not helped by the rain)
b. People might walk straight in, and straight out
and d. and e.
I can honestly say that I had a lovely time; people came who I haven't seen for a long time, neighbours came and supported me, people came who had heard about it by word of mouth, or had seen the Open Studios publicity, and as well as being able to explain how I work, I was able to hear about other peoples arts, interests and passions,
We actually saw the last visitors back at around 9pm Sunday evening! so went to to bed with that strange combination of shattered yet buzzing
Best bits - two little girls who, on entering my studio, were as excited, as if they'd entered a sweet shop, that, and teaching them how to felt - stopping them from pulling and treating the wool gently - priceless.
Then the next morning opening up my inbox, and finding an email from a lady who had travelled from Lincolnshire, which was extremely lovely to receive.
Funniest moments - the comment "we thought you'd closed for the day, but then we saw a couple of mugs moving behind the door". priceless, still smiling now, both about that, and my lovely weekend, ach well back to the sewing machine..
