This week in the barn

Water-based oil paints

I am trying to paint Kate and Eric’s wood, not sure it is working but will keep at it



Knitting a fleece

Viv was knitting with yarn that created a thick fleece, by using small needles, the result is like fabric. She was making a blanket for her foster kittens



This is what we did this week

Weaving with pine needles

Kate and Eric are staying with us and we’ve been weaving little baskets with pine needles. Who would have thought?

More recent work

It’s been a while!

It has been many months since my last posting on this website – I thought that something had gone wrong with the site but apparently it was all down to Cookies !!!

So we have a lot of catching up to do

A beautiful painting by Jan

A new start

A disjointed start to the New Year as no sooner had we started than we closed for two weeks so that we could travel to England to celebrate the Christmas we were denied in December. But here we are again raring to go.




bonne fin d’annĂ©e

Well, this strange year ended with a plop. Looking forward to more positivity in 2022. Here are a few paintings that slipped through the net


We also made the papers again
