Royal Ulster Academy Annual Show
I was very chuffed that my work 'Irish Lights' was selected for this years Royal Ulster Academy annual exhibition. It's up in the Ulster Museum at the moment and you can see the exhibition until the start of January. Even more exciting that being picked to be in the exhibition is the fact that my book has been sold! I couldn't believe it when my mum phoned me to say she'd seen a red dot by my piece when she was in looking around the exhibition. Woohoo! There is no other word for it really.

Wildflowers
I have a bit of an obsession with wildflowers at the moment. I spotted this patch down by the Lagan while on a walk one lunch time. So cheerful. Inspired, I bought some wildflower plug plants from rosybee and am working on filling my garden with as many wildflowers as possible!

All at Sea talk at PRONI
Yesterday I went to a talk at the new Public Records Office building down in the Titanic Quarter. It was a lovely sunny day (if a little cold when the wind blew) so I took some photos on my walk there….
some lovely cherry blossom
a not too wonky looking Albert Clock
The big fish
These trees were outside the odyssey. There’s loads of them, I suspect the really bad winter at the end of 2010 probably finished them off!
The new titanic building.
The giant titanic kit sculpture
The new PRONI offices down in the Titanic Quarter. The talk was called ‘All at Sea’ and was about all the different maritime records that they have in their archives. It was very interesting and not entirely Titanic related.
It was the first time I’d been in the new building, there are some lovely art works in the foyer.
This ceramic piece is by Felicity Straker Graham. The shelving reminds me of the displays at the British Museum in London.
Detail of the ceramic piece.
This piece is by Rita Dufy, sorry about all the reflections but it’s right beside the door and it really was an incredibly sunny day as proved by this next picture…
And finally a quick snap of the very pretty alley way beside the Duke of York, pity I didn’t have time for a sunny pint!

Northern Ireland Assembly Gift Shop.
You can now buy my work in the shop and tea rooms up in the Parliament Buildings at Stormont as part of their designer/maker initiative. Myself and three others will have their work on display and for sale in the gift shop for the next six months.
The building and estate is open to visitors - you can take a tour of parliament buildings for free during the week when the assembly is in session, or you can walk round the estate any day between 7.30am and 6pm as it is a public park, the day I dropped my work in it was a lovely crisp autumnal day with crunchy leaves galore - perfect for stomping on!
At the moment I have a selection of cards, notebooks and large postcards and will shortly be adding cotton tote bags and tea towels to the mix. As well as some of my popular designs I have also created some new designs especially.
The four new designs.
Here a couple snaps of the work in situ, not great quality I’m afraid so you should definitely head round and see the work in person!
My work.
A snap of the other work which includes Mr Papers and Gail Kelly designs as well as some beautifully intricate jewellery by a new designer.

Belfast City Bike Tours
Yesterday I went to the launch of new company Belfast City Bike Tours. The weather was lovely and we were treated to scones and coffee at the Barge down on the Lagan. What more could a girl want? Well actually the icing on the cake was truly the bikes themselves - I was totally smitten by their retro stylings -
Aren’t they great!
The official ribbon cutting ceremony - I’m pretty proud of this action shot!
Afterwards I was flicking through my sketchbook and realised I have vintage style bikes on the brain….
Unfortunately my dream bike is a little out of my price range. Ah well a girl can dream, and I can always head down to Belfast City Bike Tours and rent one for a while ;-)
