With the vote for the 2014-15 Garden City Public School District budget on the horizon, the board of education held its final public hearing on Tuesday, May 13. Superintendent of Garden City Schools Dr. Robert Feirsen delivered a presentation to review and highlight information before the upcoming public vote.
With a proposed overall 2014-15 budget of $109,407,138, budget-to-budget increase of 1.68 percent ($1.8 million), projected tax levy increase (with STAR) of 1.57 percent, which is also the maximum allowable tax levy increase, Feirsen spoke about the impact of a 2009 school investment bond.
"It has been asked of me that if we didn't have the bond debt service, what would the budget-to-budget look like," Feirsen said, explaining that without it, the decrease would be said the decrease would be 0.67 percent as opposed to an increase of 1.57 percent.
"That's a simplistic explanation—debt service is an exclusion to the tax levy cap, so if removed, ours would increase significantly," Feirsen said. "Also, the funds you save from debt service, you can't give them to any other program—it's not like you can take the money from debt service and give it somewhere else."
Feirsen went over budget drivers, which found the district's Teachers Retirement System (TRS) increasing by $705,002 and the Employee Retirement System (ERS) increasing by $95,771—a grand total of $800,771.
"About half of the tax increase comes from those two mandated increases," Feirsen said, displaying the impact on the budget at 0.74 percent and the tax impact at 0.82 percent. The total budget impact of 1.72 percent and tax impact of 1.91 percent includes other benefits and debt service.
As for instructional staffing for 2014-15, there is a net proposed total teacher reduction of 10.5 full-time employees (FTE), and the budget also includes 1.0 FTE teacher position in general education and 1.0 FTE teacher position in special education to be held in reserve to address possible enrollment increases at any level.
Total staff reductions amount to 11.5 FTE, with the addition of 1.0 grade six teacher due to an enrollment increase.
The rationale for reductions of 1.0 teachers at Homestead, grade one; Locust, grade one and Stewart, grade four, as well as 2.0 fourth and fifth grade teachers at Stratford is decreased enrollment. Other reduction factors include scheduling efficiencies and an increase in grade two to five class size maximum to 26.
Examining a comparison of per-pupil costs from a list the district uses of comparative districts, Feirsen showed data gathered by Quester III BOCES, placing Garden City at $18,013, which is the 9th lowest compared to districts such as Great Neck ($28,801) and Roslyn ($20,952), and only above Herricks' $17,256 per-pupil cost.
Feirsen shared a study by Seethroughny.net showing Garden City as slightly over $600 for administrative costs per-pupil, placing well below Bronxville and Locust Valley of nearly $1,200, and displayed a comparison of Nassau County tax rates ranking Garden City as no. 48 with $598.21.
Highlighting certain aspects of the budget, Feirsen pointed out that the budget is under the cap, therefore requiring only a simple majority for passage.
"We are preserving the robust high school academic program that prepares our students for college, continuing to provide resources for technology upgrades, maintaining the school board's commitment to FLES (Foreign Language in the Elementary School), and including funds for possible security upgrades," Fierson said.
Feirsen pointed out that while the district is maintaining its commitment to FLES, a reduction of 2.0 FLES teachers is proposed in their instructional staffing, with the rationale of it being a program reduction as FLES will remain in grades four and five. The program currently operates from grades two through five.
Feirsen said the district's proposed budget is also maintaining special education services and reducing personnel costs.
Also from seethroughny.net, Feirsen showed that Garden City receives less state aid per-pupil than similar districts, admitting, "I don't have a great explanation for that—the formulas for state aid are very convoluted."
Garden City was displayed as receiving roughly $1,239 in state aid per pupil, while Herricks receives close to $2,500, Rockville Centre receives slightly over $2,000 and Syosset slightly over $1,500.
Should the budget not pass, Feirsen explained that the district will adopt a contingency budget, whereby under the new tax levy cap law, it would have a zero percent tax levy cap.
"This means we could not collect any more revenue through property taxes than is collected this year—this would require a reduction of approximately $1.75 million from the budget," Feirsen said. "All contractual and debt service obligations for 2014-15 would remain in effect, and all contingent budget rules would still apply."
With no questions from any school board members and a short clarification question from one resident attending, Feirsen closed the hearing by urging everyone in the district to vote on May 20.
"I've heard from people that there really isn't much to do about the budget, it is what it is, and that could not be further from the truth—I encourage everyone to exercise their democratic right to vote and register their opinion through the ballot box," Feirsen said.

Two Long Island childhood friends, Scott Reich and Michael Winik, recently left their respective careers as an attorney and investment banker to pursue their dream of starting a business together, online food market OurHarvest.
"When Mike and I decided to start a business, we knew it had to reflect our shared love of food, address the lifestyles of our fellow Long Islanders, and be socially responsible," said Reich.

Monsters, superheroes and apes: Bring on the summer movies
Still from the upcoming film 'Noah'.
(photo credit:YOUTUBE SCREENSHOT)
It's May and in Hollywood, that means it's time to start rolling out the summer blockbusters.Hollywood has only two seasons for releasing good movies: late fall to the end of December, when the movies studio executives think have a chance at an Oscar come out, and May to midsummer, when the blockbusters and light summer fare are released. You may have noticed that the movies that come out between January and April and from August to November tend to be lousy, or at least, not very commercial: These months are Hollywood's off-season. Good movies may be released during these months, but these are movies that the executives don't expect to be financially successful.What's coming our way this summer season? Fans of superheroes, comics and other movie franchises will be the happiest, that's for sure. And for those who enjoy discussing the movies they see on social media, there's good news as well: Most of these blockbusters have a single global release date, meaning they will open here the same day they open in the US and the rest of the world. This is meant to cut down on pirating, but for us it has the added bonus of letting us see the movies without waiting weeks or even months.Godzilla will be conquering our theaters starting this weekend. There have been six previous major Godzilla films (and several more in which the fire-breathing dinosauroid was one of the featured monsters). This one has gotten a lot of good buzz following preview screenings and early audiences have pronounced it much better than the embarrassingly un-scary 1998 version. It certainly has a good cast: Bryan Cranston, best known for playing Walter White on Breaking Bad, and Ken Watanabe (Inception) are nuclear scientists, and Juliette Binoche (The English Patient) and Sally Hawkins (Blue Jasmine) are also in the cast.Bryan Singer is once again directing X-Men: Days of Future Past. It features Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and all the gang going back in time, and die-hard X-Men fans have been obsessing about it for months.What would summer be without a Spider-Man movie? The Amazing Spider-Man 2, a new film featuring a rather bland Andrew Garfield, is back with an equally bland Emma Stone in the latest movie about the early adventures of the super hero.Michael Bay, a director whose name is synonymous with exploding cars, directs the latest Transformers film, Transformers: Age of Extinction, which features Mark Wahlberg and Kelsey Grammer and opens in late June.Mad Men fans who can't bear to bid goodbye to Jon Hamm after this year's half-season ends in two weeks take heart: Hamm has his first starring movie role, in the film, Million Dollar Arm. He plays a down-on-his-luck sports agent named J.B. Bernstein who finds two Indian cricket players he thinks he can turn into baseball's next superstars. The cricket stars are played by Madhur Mittal (Slumdog Millionaire) and Suraj Sharma (Life of Pi).Kevin Costner also stars in a sports-themed movie, Draft Day, about the general manager of a football team and the decisions he makes drafting players.Angelina Jolie has the lead role in Maleficent, a new take on the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale in which she plays the wicked fairy, and Elle Fanning is the princess.It's hard to imagine anyone wanting to see another Tom Cruise sci-fi movie after last year's mind-numbingly dull Oblivion, but he's back in Edge of Tomorrow, about a military officer fighting aliens who gets caught in a time loop.There are people who never miss a Planet of the Apes movie (you know who you are), and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is coming up. This film picks up 10 years after the last one (which starred James Franco and was pretty lame) ended and stars Andy Serkis as Caesar, the head ape. The first half of the movie is all apes, and Gary Oldman and Keri Russell play the humans who appear toward the end.Fans of Family Guy have something to look forward to: A Million Ways to Die in the West, the period comedy/romance that stars director/writer Seth McFarlane, along with Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson, Amanda Seyfried and Neil Patrick Harris.But what's out there for people who like more thoughtful movies? Child's Pose, a Romanian movie that has won awards all over the world, including the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival, tells the story of an affluent mother and her adult son, who is accused of murder.Actor Ralph Fiennes (The English Patient) directs and stars in The Invisible Woman, the story of Charles Dickens' relationship with a teenage actress (Felicity Jones, who is also in The Amazing Spider-Man 2).Love and Lemons is a romantic comedy from Sweden about love and the restaurant business.There are also some Israeli movies among the summer releases. The big news in the Israeli film world last month was that Talya Lavie's Zero Motivation won the top award for feature films at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. Israeli audiences can look forward to seeing the movie at their local theaters on June 26.The movie, Lavie's feature-film debut, is a comic and dramatic look at female soldiers. It stars Nelly Tagar and Dana Ivgy.Nadav Schirman's documentary, The Green Prince, about the son of a prominent Hamas leader who who became an informant for Israel, won the Audience Award in the World Cinema-Documentary category at the Sundance Film Festival this year, and is opening throughout Israel this weekend.

U.S. city makes it illegal not to own a gun
|Report an Error
|Link to video
Share via Email
NELSON, GEORGIA—Backers of a newly adopted ordinance requiring gun ownership in a small U.S. town acknowledge they were largely seeking to make a point about gun rights.
The ordinance in the city of Nelson, Georgia — population 1,300 — was approved Monday night and goes into effect in 10 days. However, it contains no penalties and exempts anyone who objects, convicted felons and those with certain mental and physical disabilities.
City Councilman Duane Cronic, who sponsored the measure, said he knows the ordinance won't be enforced but he still believes it will make the town safer.
"I likened it to a security sign that people put up in their front yards. Some people have security systems, some people don't, but they put those signs up," he said. "I really felt like this ordinance was a security sign for our city."
Fears of a government crackdown on gun sales have prompted a few communities around the United States to "require" or recommend their residents arm themselves ever since a gunman killed 26 youngsters and educators Dec. 14 in a school in Newtown, Connecticut.
Such mandatory gun ownership measures reflect a growing divide in the wake of the Newtown massacre as President Barack Obama champions more gun control and the powerful National Rifle Association gun lobby maintains that more guns keep people safer.
While lawmakers in generally more liberal states with large urban centres like New York and California have moved to tighten gun control laws, more conservative, rural areas in the American heartland have been going in the opposite direction.
Council members in Nelson, a small city located 80 kilometres north of Atlanta, voted unanimously to approve the Family Protection Ordinance. The measure requires every head of household to own a gun and ammunition to "provide for the emergency management of the city" and to "provide for and protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants."
Nelson resident Lamar Kellett — one of two people who opposed the ordinance during a public comment period Monday — said it dilutes the city's laws to pass measures that aren't intended to be enforced.
Kellett also said the ordinance will have no effect, that it won't encourage people like him who don't want a gun to go out and buy one.
Police Chief Heath Mitchell noted that the city doesn't have police officers who work 24 hours a day and is far from the two sheriff's offices that might send deputies in case of trouble, so response times to emergency calls can be long. Having a gun would help residents take their protection into their own hands, he said.
But the chief — the town's sole police officer — acknowledged the crime rate is very low. He mostly sees minor property thefts and a burglary every few months. The most recent homicide was more than five years ago, he said.
The ordinance is modeled after a similar one adopted in 1982 by Kennesaw, an Atlanta suburb. City officials there worried at the time that growth in Atlanta might bring crime to the community, which now has about 30,000 residents. Kennesaw police have acknowledged that their ordinance is difficult to enforce, and they haven't made any attempt to do so.

Students from schools in close proximity to Lionhead can get work experience on-site, and will learn about "all of the six main disciplines of making a game," according to Lionhead. Each student will also have a personal mentor to work with.

US Soldiers Shot in Yemen Ambush
90 "al-Qaeda" Reported Killed in the Past Week
Militants attacked a truck full of US troops today in southern Yemen, wounding at least two of the "special forces" soldiers who had been deployed into the war-torn nation on a "training" and advisory mission.
Ansar al-Sharia took credit for the attack, saying that they waited for the soldiers to leave their hotel and shot three of them, one of them being shot in the neck. Local officials put the toll wounded at only two, saying one was shot in the neck and another in the leg.
Meanwhile, Yemeni warplanes pounded the city of Jaar, which is part of the Ansar al-Sharia held territory around Abyan Province. At least seven soldiers were killed today in the fighting, and officials said over 90 "al-Qaeda" were slain in the past week.
The US has been heavily backing the current Yemeni offensive, and by some accounts the "trainers" have been coordinating the attacks. US drones have also launched a number of the attacks.

Another new war nobody knows about and without any justification.
They capture the government and do with public money and the army what they want for their private interests.
Unbelievable !
Teaching a dictatorship how to run midnight kill squads, this is going to improve our economy? Of course, for trading war materials and war techniques for natural resources and sweatshop labor, this is what a Military Industrial Complex is all about.
Agreed, another US "stumble" instead of leading toward a safe Global Economy!
Welcome to "unwinable" war; where everyone suffers while the non combatants bleed the most… This is yet another version of the War On Drugs, "unwinable", but very profitable for all the wrong reasons…
But according to the commercials Obama has brought our troops home.
Will the U.S. public be surprised when our soldiers return dead from places they did not know our military was even fighting a war, or "engaged in hostilities"? Or will they even notice.

A Look at the Satanic Statue to Be Erected at Oklahoma Statehouse
Literally. In January, the Satanic Temple announced plans to build a statue on the lawn of the Oklahoma State House–and the finished product isn't a pretty sight.
The Satanists say the statue is meant for "contemplation and inspiration," but it's hard to imagine feeling inspired by such ugliness. Unsurprisingly, the "Satanic Temple" sounds less like a temple than like a group of annoying, attention-hungry individuals who go around trying to piss off Christians.
The statue is a direct response to the state's installation of a Ten Commandments monument outside the Capitol in 2012. State Representative Mike Ritze paid for the controversial statue with his own money, and therefore it was considered a donation and OK to place on government property. Following that line of reasoning, the Satanic Temple submitted a formal application for their monument.
As Trait Thompson of the Oklahoma Capitol Preservation Commission told CNN last December, "Individuals and groups are free to apply to place a monument or statue or artwork." The applications are then approved or rejected by the Commission. Unfortunately, the state has placed a halt on issuing permits for any other monuments until a lawsuit filed by the ACLU against Ritze's Commandments monument is settled.
I'm sure the Satanic Temple was just bluffing when they originally proposed the statue, and were dying for Oklahoma to fight them on it so they could run to the media and whine about "theocracy." But no go. As is usually the case, Christians in Oklahoma are more tolerant than the people screaming about how Christians are oppressing them. They got their statue, practically side-by-side with the Ten Commandments. Now, who else wants to ship the members of the "Satanic Temple" off to a foreign country so they can learn a thing or two about real religious oppression? Let's see how well-tolerated Satanists are in the Islamic Republic of Iran or rural Pakistan.

Star Wars Episode VII: John Boyega Hunted Down, Gwendolyn Christie A Sith
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Tanya Diente | July 24, 2014 12:52 PM EST
Gwendolyn Christie was recently cast in "Star Wars: Episode VII." So far no one knows what her role would be in the sci-fi film. However, a new report claimed they have sources who have confirmed she will play as a Sith as she was seen training with a lightsaber. She would reportedly also be out on a hunt for John Boyega's character.
People dressed as "Star Wars" characters Boba Fett (L) and a Stormtrooper pose at the 2014 Electronic Entertainment Expo, known as E3, in Los Angeles, California June 11, 2014.

Spoilers Alert. Read at your own risk.
Badass Digest has once again revealed a spoiler-rich report to add to the recently leaked plot details of "Star Wars Episode VII."
The site claimed they have sources who have confirmed that Gwendolyn Christie will play the role of an Imperial officer. She is the commanding officer of John Boyega's character who sets out to hunt him since she is furious that he has gone AWOL.
Another unnamed source also revealed that she has been training with a lightsaber. An imperial officer with a lightsaber could only mean one thing-according to Movieweb Gwendolyn Christie could be a Sith in "Star Wars: Episode VII." The site added she could be a novice under the training of a new Sith Emperor.
Additionally, Badass Digest calculated that prior to her being cast, Benedict Cumberbatch was in talks to play the role of an Imperial officer or the Sith role. Christie could have bagged that role instead.
Somehow, Gwendolyn Christie as an Imperial officer/Sith puts everything that's been revealed so far about "Star Wars: Episode VII" into perspective.
As previously reported by IBTimes, John Boyega is rumoured to play as an Imperial Soldier. He starts off siding with the villains. He was piloting his ship when it was shot down over at Tatooine. This could be where Christie's character comes in.
Daisy Ridley rescues Boyega and tends to his wounds. Soon the imperial soldier realises the error of his ways and decides to help Ridley as payback for her care.
This "help" could pertain to the search of the owner of the lightsaber that Daisy Ridley found.
Another report from IBTimes claimed Ridley found the lightsaber on the desert planet of Tatooine when it fell from the sky held by a severed hand. Soon both Ridley and Boyega set out on a journey to find the owner of the Jedi relic. They eventually met up with Han Solo and Chewbacca piloting the Millennium Falcon. Han Solo recognises the lightsaber as belonging to Luke Skywalker, whom he hasn't had contact for 30 years since the events of "Return of the Jedi." Thus begins the search for the Jedi Master in "Star Wars: Episode VII."

Todd Helton Homers in Final Career Game, Crowd Treats Him Like King
If you go to Colorado, there's probably not one person that dislikes Todd Helton. In fact, if you can find a person that doesn't like the Colorado Rockies' star, they probably don't know a thing about baseball. Helton is one of the best players, if not the best, to ever suit up in a Rockies uniform and will remain that way for quite a while.
The 17-year veteran played in his final home game on Wednesday night as a professional baseball player and he did not disappoint with his exit. While he may not have gotten the same type of farewell tour that future Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera received from around the league, Helton got treated like a king by his home fans — and that's all that matters.
In his first at bat of his final home game, Helton stepped up to the plate with the fans standing on their feet, cameras record to record history. Boston Red Sox pitcher Jake Peavy wound up on the 1-1 pitch and set it toward home plate. Helton swung with his perfect form and sent one flying to deep right field and over the wall.
Watch the magic happen here:
Helton hit the ball into the right field seats and rounded the bases with class. The fans stood to their feet as he rounded every base and it looked like no one could have written up something better. In his first professional game with Colorado, he hit a home run. So in his last game it was only fitting that he hit another home run.
He finished his home career hitting .345 with 226 home runs at home.
Well done, Todd.

my drawing desk (via Instagram)

Hello, another October Monday and the week started out sunny here. I looked up at the hawthorn tree in our little front garden and noted how all the leaves are curled and brown. I watching a blue tit and noted what a throaty little song he had.

This week I am working on quite a variety of projects. Hoping to make a start on a new larger embroidery piece I've been thinking about.

And I'm especially happy to let you know about my forthcoming NOVEMBER POSTCARDS. Yes, during November my Bigcartel shop will be taken over and 'filled to the brim' with postcard-size original artworks. This is my opportunity to offer you a smaller modestly-priced artwork - there will be work representing many of the different ideas and media I have explored over the years and continue to explore: figurative gouache sketches, collages, abstract paintings, botanicals, landscapes and more. Something for everyone.

I'll be sharing here a few little glimpses at some of the postcards as they evolve on my desk - but to see the selection you will need to wait, just a little while, until November 1st. There will be a broad range to see from the 1st and I'll be topping up with new postcards through November.

Just a note to also say, I have hinted here (and over at nevering) about a possible future zine (or three), but please know there's no plan to publish one until next year at the earliest. I'm continuing to work on ideas.

Thanks always for reading here and have a good start to your week.

you are welcome to follow me over at tumblr, where I have a blog dedicated to my abstract sketchbooks. I will be posting most of my abstract work over at tumblr from now on. I've a mini-zine in the early stages of construction and some abstract paintings in progress too.

Thanks to everyone for taking a look at my recent work, your interest and kind comments are much appreciated. As you may know from reading here I am busy working on what may seem to be a diverse range of projects, but for me they overlap and inform, help each other along in many ways.

(Oh and a new Grandmama story has been posted today over at nevering. Hope you may enjoy reading.)Cathy Cullishttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062741899816212337.post-89423649192280021222014-10-17T12:49:00.000+01:002014-10-17T12:49:11.816+01:00rediscovering ink angel sing - pen on paper

I have this week completed three detailed pen drawings - I find them fascinating to work, engrossing and just the kind of 'puzzling out' I enjoy so much. They allow me to explore ideas of light and shade that is not so possible in my embroidery, for example. Drawing in pen is not something new to me, I used to draw with pen quite obsessively but then, for what reason I do not know exactly, it drifted from me - perhaps the embroidery and exploring textiles and paint took over. Now the is the return of the pen. Though I enjoy pencil too, yes. I see in drawing an intense kind of storytelling, illustration, that I feel I can explore.

New embroidery and drawings in my Etsy shop this afternoon.

Hello, Monday and a wet and windy start to our week here.

Today I am sharing here a few photos to show the development of a recent drawing, 'Early Music'. I'm working on at least one more early music inspired drawing. The figures are not intended to be historically accurate - as always they are my own and they exist outside the normal loop of time, they are storytellers and people of their own dreams.

I love music and have very eclectic, diverse collections of CDs. As far as classical music goes I like early music and also twentieth century stuff including and especially eastern European. There will always be something new to discover.

'Early Music' - pencil on paper, 16.5cm x 12.3cm (drawing area)

This week I shall continue with new drawings and embroidery too. I have a couple of new drawings at early stages, ideas for new embroidery and more. Have a good start to your week and I hope to share more here soon.

tiny angel

Angels in historical art have always fascinated. At what stage in history was the first winged angel painted? How do you describe an angel in a secular world and how much influence has historical painting? Questions and questions to muse over on a Sunday afternoon....

Angels do not only appear in painting, of course. Researching early music for drawing, I came across this wonderful carved image (via Cotsworld early music festival). I am intrigued by the miniature organ or harpsichord the angel is playing (rather like an old cash register with organ pipes!).

I'm very much into drawing at the moment and will share more soon.

a detail from a larger drawing: 'chrysanthemums'

If you follow me on instagram (or twitter) you may have seen the very beginning of this intricate drawing. I began with the main figure's head and worked out from there what the story might be. I found her in a garden with chrysanthemums, ethereal children and a rabbit.

detail from 'portrait of a quiet dreamer woman' - embroidery artwork - another densely stitched work, with a muted, simple palette - suggestions of an interior with table and bowl shapes, the repeated fan motif suggesting interior patterns....

these new works will be in my Etsy shop today (updating about 5pm UK time)Cathy Cullishttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062741899816212337.post-46431510492523906352014-10-08T16:57:00.001+01:002014-10-08T16:58:31.635+01:00midweek mosaic

It's been a blustery, sometimes sunny sort of day today. I've been quietly stitching, puzzling out sketchbook ideas.Cathy Cullishttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062741899816212337.post-54133420639972372372014-10-06T13:33:00.001+01:002014-10-06T13:44:07.719+01:00Monday

a small scene from home - on the wall is a gouache drawing I made a few years ago. I discovered several more of these large studies recently (in a hidden folder), so I am considering how they might spark new ideas. The ceramics are made by me about ten years ago. For a short time I had a kiln and small pottery 'studio' in my home in Cambridge. That was an exciting opportunity to get my hands on clay and learn how to use a kiln, making my own glazes. I had attended a summer's term of evening classes some years previously. Fortunately, my attempts at making handbuilt vessels were nearly always without trauma - none broke, there were no nasty mishaps with firings and I did not burn the shed down. Now I really do treasure the ceramics that I made and still have. I've shown a few pieces on this blog over the years and they are quite varied, from small jugs to more abstract forms such as these. The vessel on the right in this photo is actually a very pale pink shade, I think I used titanium on stoneware. It is my hope that eventually, one day, I will have the opportunity to work with ceramics again - maybe not as a main focus, but certainly as something else to explore. One day seems a long way off right now, but I will still expect and hope.

Meanwhile, I have experimented with air dry clay - remember all those tiny head I made a few years or so back? And more recently I have started to make simple oval dishes about the size of a sketchbook page - to be an extension of my abstract sketchbooks. These oval dishes will be painted and varnished to in some way imitate glazed ceramic, but of course they will not be the same thing exactly. Working with air dry clay and thinking of these dishes as sketchbooks will allow me, I hope, to not feel too precious about them. They will allow me to see ideas evolve, play with clay and possibly also combine other mixed media.

Not so exciting to look at right now. But you get the general idea. If all goes to plan I will share more here. I'm using Fimo air dry clay (not polymer) and it has a pretty good feel, compared to some other air dry clays that can be a bit odd to work with.

So this week I am exploring sketchbook ideas, but am also busy working on new embroidery for my Etsy shop. Hope to update on Friday with a few new pieces. And thanks to everyone for visiting my shops recently, much appreciated.

I cannot believe I have got to the end of a Monday post and not mentioned the weather - well, it is rainy, very rainy today. And it feels like October.

Have a good start to your week

It was foggy yesterday - so before getting started on work for the day I spent a few minutes taking photos. I do enjoy photographing this time of year - right through autumn and into winter there is so much that interests my eye. Perhaps my favourite weather is foggy, not too cold. Then it seems we are all slightly invisible, though of course not. But can the blazing summer sun make you feel more conspicuous? I think it might.

After a week of stitching and drawing figuratively, (and enjoying the process) I am looking forward to spending the next few days or so working in my abstract sketchbooks, considering quiet ideas that are a little different.

Thank you to Sonia for this lovely post over at her inspiring Cozy Memories blog.

Have a good weekend.

details can tell so many stories..... here is a detail view of 'woodland dreamer portrait' - an original pencil drawing. I am adding new drawings to my Etsy shop in the coming weeks (two this week) - sister works to my embroidery portraits.

two embroidery artworks with 'woman and child' as the portrait theme - the left is a brooch (not large, measuring: 6.5cm tall), the left is a smaller piece to frame if you so wish..... For these I chose a simple and timeless colour choice of greys with violet-pinks.

I prefer to think of these pieces as 'woman and child' rather than the more specific 'mother and child' - I see here women of different relationships to the child: grandmother, aunt, nurse, friend, godmother. (Or you may consider how we carry the child we have always been, or we think of the child that is grown up.)

Both these pieces will be in my Etsy shop tomorrow - the update will be 2pm in the afternoon UK time. I have a lovely group of new pieces to add to the shop this week, as I started work on several of them a few weeks ago. My hope is to add a few new embroidery pieces to the shop each week in October and November. A happy October to you! It is warm and sunny here, we are having a bright, dry autumn so far.Cathy Cullishttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062741899816212337.post-24978961877917772282014-09-30T14:00:00.002+01:002014-09-30T14:00:40.684+01:00work in progress Tuesday

this is an embroidery piece titled 'rose hips' - a portrait of a storyteller. The figure does make me feel like she is talking to me. At this stage I was just about to add red thread to stitch tiny rose hips on her skirt. I'm always a little excited and nervous at this stage of a piece, especially if I am about to add a contrasting colour or a bold detail of some kind - never knowing if it will work out. One can only imagine so much. I've moved a little further on with this work and the rose hips really transformed the piece, so far so good.....Cathy Cullishttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062741899816212337.post-53993429648231315582014-09-29T14:57:00.000+01:002014-09-29T14:57:26.307+01:00Monday

 recent sketchbook pages

Last Monday in September and there's a chill in the air - we have had it summery for so long this year, but now it is so much darker in the evenings. I was sitting at my sewing machine this morning and realised after a while of intense work and not moving about so energetically I was getting colder and colder. Must remember my layers when sitting - getting older... But pleased with what I stitched today and will share more soon.

This week I am working on my various projects and especially embroidery. My Etsy shop will be updated this Friday October 3rd. My hope is that I can update my shop with new embroidery each Friday in October and November. I'm designing a range of new pieces and hope you will enjoy taking a look.

Meanwhile, I aim to share more here and am just about to type up a small poem I scribbled this morning (and post over at nevering). Have a good week. Cathy Cullishttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062741899816212337.post-89197047979266697102014-09-27T14:02:00.000+01:002014-09-27T14:15:56.589+01:00considerations & explorations

some recent fragments and abstract ideas in progress

It is that time of year when I look back at the work I have been making over the past months, year, few years. I find this easier to do now, rather than at the start of a calendar year - my children have just gone back to school/college and with my birthday looming in November it feels like the time to consider and evaluate.

I've made a lot of work, especially work on paper, over the past year or so. I have folders full, some of it I like, some of it I see as ways forward, dead-ends and workings-out. It seems to me that I use a lot of paper and can be wasteful of materials and wish not to be so in the future. My favourite work is mostly the smaller-scale pieces and especially pages in my sketchbooks. My personal sketchbooks and tiny books and other handmade books have become ever more important to me. They can be about considering ideas, part diary, unfinished and also completed works. I've always felt at home inside a book, whether writing or making images, marks and visual ideas.

Having considered all the different work I have attempted over the past months or so, I realise now I really do want to explore more abstract ideas and mixing materials. This may not be at all 'commercial', in as much as the pieces I make may not be things to sell or things people would want to buy - I don't know. All I do know is that I have to focus my efforts and when I do work on paper and with other media, I want to feel I am exploring the ideas that matter to me, discovering along the way. This is not in any way to 'talk-down' the other kinds of work, the non-abstract work I have done in the past, but it is to say that I feel I want to explore more abstractly in the future.

My embroidery work continues and has a quiet presence, that I value. I do enjoy stitching and when I make the tiny-tiny faces they often cheer me, even make me laugh out loud. So often I see family members, particularly my Grandmother, in my stitched works. And I like this. The embroidery has always been about considering traditional ideas, story, storytelling and making it my own. It is a different world, my small realm of dancing stitched figures - it is a quiet space that I have imagined over time. I feel my embroidery has got to the stage where it feels it is its own world - and this is because of hard work and the opportunity I have had to explore thanks to the people who have bought earlier pieces. I have developed my own style and techniques, and I see new stories ahead. So, my thinking is so long as there are people who may enjoy these embroidery works I will try my best to make the very best and sell them. They are, in their own small and modest way, a success story for me. (A problem with embroidery-making in the past has been a problem I had with my neck, which now seems resolved at this time, thank goodness.)

So in the weeks and months ahead, I expect to work quietly at my abstract ideas, making small-scale things and working in sketchbooks. Some of that exploring I will share here. My embroidery works will, I hope, continue to sell and allow me to continue on to make a modest living. Having quiet artistic explorations - and established embroidery works - will I hope keep me well-occupied.

This has been a bit of thinking out loud, but I know I am not alone in needing to do this once in a while, so perhaps it may help you reading. It may also help to understand why I seem to be working on quite different things. If it makes some sense, then I am grateful. And as always thanks for reading here.Cathy Cullishttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062741899816212337.post-86154219840784514082014-09-26T16:37:00.000+01:002014-09-26T17:36:14.497+01:00tiny books and more

Hello Monday again and the sun continues, though it was quite chilly this morning.... As I walk about our neighbourhood, I note the fallen branches are artfully arranged... the changing shape of the world, I keep looking for something new and I see it in the angle of a branch and go home to sketch the way things connect or do not. As the trees shed their leaves so it is like saying hello again to the old framework of branches and shadows. Here we are again.

This week I am working on 'other stuff' and there will be no shop updates. I've got several projects to work on or complete. Over the weeks ahead I'll be focusing on embroidery works for my Etsy shop, with the holidays on the horizon. Hoping to also make new paintings in weeks ahead too.

I'm also making time for exploring my personal abstract work which is not destined for any shop/exhibition at present.

Thanks to you for taking a look at all the new artworks in my Bigcartel shop. As always I am grateful for all the interest and for the kind comments here. I hope to share some interesting posts and inspiration as this week goes by.Cathy Cullishttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062741899816212337.post-58091670572297282632014-09-19T15:05:00.000+01:002014-09-19T15:06:28.346+01:00gently does it

'dark jar with gentle flowering stems' - this is a mixed media work on watercolour paper..... I am particularly fond of the fleshy flowers and am trying to remember the name of this flower, as I painted from memory. Quite small flowers in real life. I will fathom it out when my gardening brain lets me....

This is a gently textured work, acrylics on canvas. 'Tea and hand stitches'.

Both these artworks will be in my shop tomorrow - I'll also have a selection of smaller works that I have not featured on the blog this week. As you may tell I have been busy painting over recent weeks and feel quietly happy with these new compositions.

a quiet, otherworldly, yesteryear feel to this painting - created using subtle layers.

Thanks for your comments and emails re: blogging, the mystery of abandoned blogs and more. I am glad to know I am not alone in feeling Facebook is not really for me, though I do have an account. Twitter is an odd beast of information, though I do post there too. Instagram is something I have got into recently, but again on a limited level because I know it could suck you in and take your time up if allowed.

Thinking about time and managing time, I have been working out recently just how much of my working day (roughly) I spend working on different aspects of being a professional artist. One observation I will share with you: about 25% of my time in recent months has been used working on sketchbooks and other personal areas of my work. I feel this has become more essential for me in recent times, with several directions open to me.

smaller works and sketchbooks,
everything I do fits into a small working space.
I made the box to store my sketchbooks out of plywood, it is rather wonky, but does the job.

botanicals in gouache (via Instagram).... the sun has been so lovely in recent days, even if we had to wait until late afternoon to see much today. You may recognise these botanical shapes. When I send packages to customers I often include a tiny card with a botanical sketch.

Today I continued to work on new still life paintings and hope to share more soon. Thanks for all your thoughtful comments since my post on Monday re: blogging.

acrylics on stretched canvas - a nice size to work this and to display - 21cm x 15cm. This still life painting is a very textured work, with many layers created to get the feel I wanted. It is all about getting the balance right - a sense of depth but also spontaneity. I've always had a thing for vessels with feet that look like they might dance across the table....

(This work will be in my Bigcartel shop update this coming Saturday)Cathy Cullishttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062741899816212337.post-24530422042646591682014-09-15T14:48:00.000+01:002014-09-15T14:48:56.828+01:00Monday

sketchbooks in the sun

A bright and mild start to the week here. There are signs of early autumn all about, but the weather is staying warm, with butterflies and insects enjoying this extended sunny time. I'm beginning to wonder what to do with all the grapes growing in our garden (I think they are for wine making, it's an old vine that's been in the garden for years before we were here). I'm going to try and get outside and do some gardening before the weather changes. In a few weeks time it could be all so different, with colder, wetter weather of course, and I don't want to miss out on making the most of this sunny window.

This week I am working on mostly new paintings and artwork for my Bigcartel shop - which will be updated on Saturday. I hope to share with you more as the week goes by. I'll also try to make time for new embroidery pieces and am grateful to you for visiting my Etsy shop which was updated last Friday.

Thanks always for reading here. I'm aware that there are so many other social network places to visit but I would like to attempt to keep going with this blog and would like to make my posts just as interesting as I can.

It's an intriguing thing to look about at all the abandoned blogs online - have you come across a really interesting blog only to discover it suddenly, perhaps inexplicably stopped being updated?? I have so many times, and I can only think there are many personal reasons why people stop with their blog posting. Perhaps they don't have time, life changes, or they feel a lack of audience? I'm guilty of not often making time to visit all the blogs I would like to read, or leaving comments. Statistics can tell you only so much about your blog readership (bulk numbers, countries) and beyond that there's a lot of guesswork. I'm sure people who devote much of their time to selling online, networking online, will feel a constant shift of interest - from one platform to the next, over the months and years ahead; things always change and quite rapidly. Get stuck into your work for a while, look up and everyone is doing something new - well almost, it's almost like that. I find some of what I have to tell the world is more relevant to one place rather than another, for example I tend to tell my Facebook followers about new shop updates, especially Etsy-related. But blogs are about more than just telling people what you have to sell and where/when, I feel. I've attempted over time to share inspiration and things such as my sketchbooks that are not items for sale and I shall continue to try and get the mix about right.

Any thoughts of your own re: blogs and blogging?

Have a good start to your week and more soon.Cathy Cullishttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

Wegmans recalls packaged salad amid E. coli cases
Wegmans is recalling its organic spinach and spring mix salads for possible E. coli bacteria amid 16 cases of sickened people in western New York.
The Rochester-based grocery chain, which operates numerous stores in our region, says the recall covers 5-ounce and 11-ounce packages sold from Oct. 14 to Thursday.
Health officials tell the Democrat and Chronicle of Rochester there are 16 confirmed cases of E. coli in four counties that likely are associated with the product, with most of the cases in the Rochester area. Four people were hospitalized and released.
Wegmans says consumers who still have the product in their refrigerators should throw the salad out and visit a store service desk for a full refund.
Wegmans Food Markets has 81 stores in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland and Massachusetts.
