Whats on... March 2013

Mini-egg cookies, before & after.

There's not a lot that I can actually show you this week, as I've been working on the secret commission that I mentioned in my previous post. However, I'm pleased to announce that yesterday, I both finished AND photographed it... so watch this space!!! In the meantime, I thought you might enjoy casting your eye over these delicious mini-egg cookies, that T and I made last weekend, (so delicious - they've all gone!).

Anyhow, I thought I'd mention a few (or 10) exhibitions showing in March, that caught my eye. I'll be popping along to (and posting about) as many as possible... so if you're looking for something to do this month, then why not check them out for yourself:
