I have an idea, too!  It came to me while I was reading Terry Pratchett this morning and something interfaced with Mothering Sunday and items I had inherited from my Gran and my Nana.  Suddenly, there was the germ of an idea and it took off in my head....

More anon.

This picture may or may not be completely irrelevant - I am happily taking a course (Extending Embellishment) with Karen Ruane, and this is my most recent sample.

Looking through windows with Sue

This is a magnificent Victorian window in the Orangery at the Imperial Hotel in Exeter, where I took my nephew and daughter to lunch earlier this year.  I love the ironwork and the distortion of the view beyonf and the reflections on the room behind me.

Taken through a rather grubby salty window in November 2010 when we stayed in Brighton at the Queen's Hotel.  The seagulls were sheltering from the cold sea winds.

I thought there were some nice shapes in this photo - the arcs of the chimney guards and the two seagulls in similar poses.

And this broken window in the Abruzzo, Italy, a year ago imposes it's own pattern on the view beyond.
