This is going to be a busy week for me. I am getting ready for an art/craft fair at Holetown here in Barbados on Feb. 21/22. I will be sharing a 10'x10' booth with two other ladies. I will be selling my prints, hopefully. Chris Ishmael will be selling her 3 dimensional collages all done with natural fibers and homemade papers and Judith with be selling miniature gardens in bowls. I am trying to find the last few pieces of photo printable canvas that I know are in my office somewhere! I buy this material in California...cannot get this in Barbados.

I like to print on heavyweight textured photo paper or canvas. I never print glossy photos. What I like to achieve is a 'painterly' look to my prints...either watercolor or oils.

I have to take my latest kitten, now over 4 moths old, to the vet to be spayed this Thursay , Feb 12. I am also involved with helping to get a lot (17) of cats/kittens neutered /spayed for a lady who is almost blind..I also discovered two dogs in poor condition when I did the assessment. Very nice lady and her elderly mother....but overwhelmed by numbers. This is a classic example of why animals should be neuterd/spayed!!

It is so hot today...Alice was quick about her business just now and back in to the relative cool of the bedroom. However my little office feels so hot and I wish for the umpteenth time that we had air conditioning!!

I have noticed, with all the rain we have had lately...much more than usual for this time of the year, that many of the fallen coconuts are sprouting...I think I am going to try and sell these....maybe $10 each...we are so broke with our pensions from England being effected by the recession. Tony thinks I am nuts Ha Ha!! (coconuts!) We will see. I am going to make a notice and put it by the front gate.
