My mind is a whirl wind at the moment .... I am trying to focus on the fact that soon, very soon, my house will be part of the Art Trail for Worthing. I thought I had very little done but last night I wrote a list and I was surprised to find that I had actually done quite alot - I am sure when I rewrite that list next week that I will be shocked to find actually how little I have completed!!
A major part of my work for Open House is to launch a photography business called 'I capture the Castle Photography'. My intention is to charge a fee to visit people's homes. I would work closely with them to discover and record the things that they love about their families and homes. I will photograph them and then design a fantastic memory photobook for them to keep and cherish.
Canvases would also be available. For example, these photographs are really personal to us and make us smile and happy. Other people may not get it - but these are our memories. The photograph on the left is of a set of mixing/serving bowls that we use every day and love. The second canvas is a pair of Pasha's flip flops that are so cheerful. The background is a piece of artwork by Pasha.
I have been busy making felt to turn in to pictures and corsages. Hopefully that final stage will happen!
I want to stay and chat but have so much more to do ........... so lastly, we are in love with this funny song.
good luck with the photographs, i think its a lovely idea!

Just yesterday I picked up an open house leafet,whilst at my little boys swimming class, today wrote about it and now I have just come across your blog. So all very strange! The funny thing is I looked at the leaflet and marked your home as one to visit. So I wish you the best of luck for the weekend and I will hopefully be popping along. Best wishes Katie.
