Mixed Bag

In November 2017 Christine and I went to an evening stained glass workshop in Wild Bird Studio in Block T in Basin Lane and made some Christmas decorations. Here's mine ... (it's a robin, by the way) Wild Bird Studio...Read More

Kid’s stuff, really

Posted on 20 April, 201920 April, 2019 by David Meredith

Going to Sligo tomorrow to adjudicate at the Sligo Feis Ceoil for three days. It's a punishing schedule, to be honest. Monday and Tuesday look like 10 or 11 hours each and Wednesday doesn't look much shorter. One does get...Read More

It seems like ages since I started these things. It was the day after I bought that Air Dough in Evans a few weeks ago. That stuff is really easy to work with, dries quickly and it takes paint well....Read More

It’s Not All About Me 2

One of my core beliefs is that creativity is a human condition, that this creativity is manifested in different ways in different people, that it is mentally beneficial (and mostly enjoyable) to exercise this creativity, and that no one should...Read More

My Easter Egg

Posted on 15 April, 201915 April, 2019 by David Meredith

It's been a busy few days: Letterkenny, Killarney, Cavan. Longford on Wednesday. A lot of examining. A lot of time spent on the road. Not much time for doing this stuff. I did do something every day, however. On Friday,...Read More

Christine has been exercising her creative muscles too. This isn't a new thing. For some time, she's been a member of Rathmines Writers' Group, the poetry bit. She's been writing poems and subjecting them to the critical assessment of the...Read More

A New Frontier

Posted on 11 April, 201911 April, 2019 by David Meredith

I was in Flying Tiger the other day and, of course, I emerged with a bag of stuff. Anyway, in the bag were clothes pegs. Little ones. You’ll get an idea of scale below. I’m in Letterkenny at the minute,...Read More

Yes, I Can

Posted on 10 April, 201910 April, 2019 by David Meredith

A few interesting things happened today. Firstly, there was an email from my Step-mum Jane in response to yesterday’s post reminding me to live in and enjoy the moment. And, to be honest, that was what I wasn’t doing. Especially...Read More

Posted on 9 April, 20199 April, 2019 by David Meredith

There are a lot of things swirling around in my head at the moment and I’m trying to capture them all either by doing them or by writing them down. But the problem is that I feel rushed because I...Read More
