So I asked Instagram the same question. Magnets went into an early lead but then brooches had a strong comeback and swung into the lead but by the end, all three were basically level so still no clearer 🥴😂😭

With news of independent businesses closing practically daily, especially hospitality, supporting local restaurants is key so finished the week with fabulous food with the family at Zaytoon. Fresh & tasty. Friendly & accommodating. But still can't spell my name right 😁 #manchesterfood

Popped into The Oystercatcher in Sale to check in on my coastal bottle wall plaques. There's also some of my work in Chorlton branch including some Coastal Dreams textile wall panels. It's nice when I meet their customers at fairs/events and they recognise my work.

Christmas always brings funky plastic packaging that I hoard for future projects. Can you guess what came in these?

Making good use of getting the back room at Mum's as visiting without my kids. Single bed with fabulous sea view trumps big bed and skylight 📷📷📷📷📷

Long time since I've managed to coincide with cabbage day at This & That. My favourite rice and three combination (cabbage, chana, chicken + roti) from my favourite R&3 restaurant. #manchesterfood

I'm the designer on this production by final year BA(Hons) Performing Arts students. The use of "amateur" in the venue publicity jarred. Why not "student" to denote nonprofessional? Amateur suggests untrained; a hobby. I trust a student nurse but not sure about an amateur one. Thoughts? #theatre

Heard the arty peeps have finally arrived. Been in the kitchen scrolling Instagram. I make art from recycled materials exploring environmental issues. Also community arts and performance design. Hoping for art/culture/craft/community/environment chats.

Been to vote. It felt quite emotional. Do we dare to believe? The last election was supposed to be close but wasn't. Brexit and Trump. Feel like I'm holding my breath. Anyone else got election anxiety?

Another form inspired me to craft this venn diagram which describes a pet hate of mine when submitting artwork to exhibitions. High Res + 1500 wide + less than 2MB does not exist so I'm going with medium res.😡

I mount my #textileart over old #charityshopart so posted some recent purchases for #septtextilelove #hidden prompt. But just how comforting is that #inspirationalquote? Was it discarded because their lover turned out to be a shark or a jellyfish? Is love on the rocks or hit an iceberg? Thoughts?
