I am very pleased to announce that I have a new artist joining the main website. Lyn Beaumont makes delicately detailed greetings cards in pastel colours, presented in her own handmade decorated boxes. Her cards could be framed and put on the wall - almost like a card and gift in one. She is often asked by friends and family to make them for special occasions, and has now decided to sell them publicly as well.
At art group, we have been deciding what events or places we could go to this year. We are fortunate to live within striking distance of the Peak District National Park. Maggie wanted to paint on location, and Kevin recommended a local beauty spot that unfortunately doesn’t have any public loos, so we are planning a visit to a tearoom or two on the day. I have recommended the Sheffield Open Studios event, but people seem to prefer the countryside. Still, I’m happy to go on my own to Sheffield, especially as I know some of the exhibitors.
I’ve promised to add something about how I’m progressing with Twitter, so, here goes. This week I downloaded Twitter Local, in the hope of finding other local people using Twitter (especially businesses), but it wasn’t working properly. It shows up as a small box on the top left of the screen, rather like Tweetdeck, but it couldn’t seem to find the webpage. I’ll have another go soon. I’m sure it will be useful, as I’ve found Tweetdeck more or less indispensable. I have gradually been accumulating followers and now have over 60, so welcome to anyone new to following me, or indeed my blog.
Have also joined Yahoo’s “Blog Log” this week - no tittering at the back there, and perhaps that will help me get more readers. The e-book of my blog was published on Myebook last week, and I’ve just had a look to see whether anyone has given it a review yet – well, it has been viewed 200 times apparently, but no one has “favourited “ it. Perhaps I need to review more books on that site, doing so might help people find mine too. Have only reviewed one so far, a gorgeous book of photographs– Mike Moran’s Impressions of Venice. Highly recommended, but turn the sound off if you view it at work…
More next weekend,
Jewel
