Happy Mothers Day

There's one person whom gives you her time, patients, advice, respect and unconditional love. Who roots for you when others question. Who's always there when others aren't. That thinks of you at every moment and tresures your experiences and recalls them with affection.
She is always with you in her mind thoughts and prayers.
Give thanks and share a great day.  :-D

Happy New Year

Thank you so much for your visits to  Bandana workshop and all your support this year.

Wishing you all a very Happy and prosperous New Year. :-D

Mi-Festival 2014

Today Mi-Festival a family friendly event was launched. An exciting day to make it's debut into the festival circuit. The weather was on our side a little over cast but sunny. What a journey, an interesting adventure bobbing and weaving though the London traffic, passing the Horniman museum a very impressive structure morphing into it's surroundings. Arrived at the festival site and was greeted by our hosts who helped us greatly. 

The morning started with great tunes from the DJs at Night beat and dance expert Loopy Lou making excitement for all. I even found myself joining in, bopping my bandana to some cool tunes while setting up for the day and throughtout the event. Funk City Party Band kept the tunes coming with a live set of covers from all genres.  Finishing the festival with a beautiful set from Annie Rew Shaw.

A great start for an event which attracted a wide audience of revellers roll on next year.:-D

Penn Festival 2014

A welcome email with an invite to the award winning Penn Festival for the second year brought great excitement.
The challenge was on, three days of workshop two days of set up and breaking down. The weather forecast was varied rain, thunderstorms and sunshine.
The journey was okay not much of a hold up. Passing through beautiful country lanes and little villages brought a relaxed start to the day. The weather was 30° great for putting up the workshop very hot day, good feeling.

Putting up workshop took some thought, but four hours later the deed was done, an interior prep was on. My dream was to always have space so you all can get creative, feel relaxed, be happy and enjoy your experience. Fullfilled !

First come, served first, taking time out to get creative.

 It was a pleasure to have such lovely neighbours this year The big
 Top and chill out zone was next door playing cool tunes and entertaining   everyone. A big thanks to the Kindest Cafe and crew for organising The Penn Play Zone. Click here here to see the gallery

Talent

Recently I took some time out, stopped everything and got creative. This wasn't an easy task, there was a lot of other things goading for my attention.

But deciding to set aside time, spending my afternoons and late nights away in a quiet space paid off.  Listening to the radio and silence kept me focused on being creative. There's something about the human voice either talking or singing that brings an air of excitement. The same goes for silence when there are tricky bits to tackle the quiet brings its own addition to concentrating.

Being organised and making choices with out losing confidence, is a real issue if boredom or fear creeps in. This is the sticking point, where to begin ? From small steps, drawing an idea helps a lot.  Ideas take shape that can  still be altered along the way. Once all the tools are chosen and laid out, it's easy to think clearly. 

Cluttered minds lead to frustration this is common when life is stressful. Some where the cycle is broken by change.

My head is crammed full of ideas bursting to get out, but there's only so many awaking hours.

This quote summed it all up.
