That’s an Irish title for you – a bit like go ahead, back away. Since I finished working on the movie I’ve had a mix of work and play. I made a dress for my friend Grainne to wear to a ‘do’ and apparently on the night out a woman asked how long she’d had the Vivienne Westwood dress. Not one to miss a beat, Grainne told her she’d had it for a while now. Atta girl Grainne! I’ve spent some time with Rachel from Artsekta on the oral history project too. We had a tour of the Linen Quarter which was really interesting and I’ll be giving a tour of my mill at the end of the month. On the same day we had a fascinating information session about India at Windsor Women’s Centre. We were supposed to be concentrating on textiles, but poor Kalashree was being asked some really cheeky personal questions by a couple of the women (now I’ve got you wondering) . . . however, she handled it all beautifully and even showed us how to wear a sari. It was a great day! So at the minute I’m working on a couple of wall hangings for an art & craft exhibition next month. I’ve a couple of good projects in the pipeline too, and even better, I’ll get paid for most of them!
