Our first hybrid @AllIrelandTSN event at @MTU_ie Where I spoke as a @uk_itss council member about the @TechsCommit and the ITSS, also enjoyed a tour around @MTU_Crawford catching up with fellow art technicians there.

Our last coffee morning/info session for the Technician Commitment, what an amazing location the Derry/Londonderry campus is, like Hogwarts. Next exciting thing will be the release of our technician website next week @UlsterUni #weareuu @TechsCommit @uk_itss

While in lock down I have been putting my skills to good use and making scrubs. I absolutely hate tie dye, but the children at the Royal in Belfast will find them colourful and fun.

Fantastic exhibition by Orla Kiely @FashionTextile so glad to have been able to see it #alifeinpattern
Last few hours here in Hanoi. Not long after I took this picture, I got scammed by a shoe mender, rather annoyed with myself. He did do a good job though and well at least one sandal has been reinforced with double stitching now, I didn’t let him near the second.

These feet have pounded the streets of Vietnam today, 18k steps and finally they rest. Explored the Vietnam women’s museum (homework) and discovered many beautiful textile and ceramic shops.

Oh how yummy is this mernio yarn, love its colour name, avocado ❤️ and some beautiful buttons snapped up today.
Thank you, disappointed though as I have for years been able to travel free getting a ticket from Greenisland as it was just above the threshold and now for the sake of a £1 is below :( no more free travel for this who buy a monthly from Greenisland.
