Another brilliant night!

Wow! I gave a talk last night after being invited by John Williams, leader of the Scanners tribe. (highly creative people with millions of great ideas!) http://www.scannercentral.co.uk/

I had a ball! It was sold out with 76 people in the room - and I had to do my talk sitting on the bar! Now that's my kind of talk! Loved it - loved the amazing people that I met and  chatted to. With the scanners tribe, I feel I belong - lots of creative people who like to have a glass or two of wine - wonderful!

Just have to mention the lovely Libby who I coached live on stage - or live on the bar. Libby has created an amazing idea of creating a 'sewing circle' - where you recycle old fabrics - and transform your old curtain into a glamorous clutch or last season's skirt into a kitsch 50s apron. They have workshops galore - loved it. www.thestudiolondon.co.uk

I also met Ann - who has asked me to talk at her creativity weekend. She's flying over top american experts, as well as top authors and agents - and er, me, now!

And a big hurrah for the lovely Daniel of http://www.futurebility.co.uk/
- who turned my inner peace machine (www.emwave.com) as green as I've ever seen it. Now, there's one happy man!

Thanks to everyone who came to support me. Apparently the talk was recorded so will post it up once I've received it.

The one big thing I took away from the night - was how passionately I do feel about The Big Peace work. I threw my notes away and spoke from the heart (well, from the bar!) and I did feel absolutely sure that I'm on the right path.

Sounds fun! I hadn't heard of Scanners before, so thank you for posting. And really looking forward to beginning working through The Artist's Way via your blog next week.

Is it ok if I also say that anyone interested in stitching, recycling and all-round craftiness might also want to know about my business, The Make Lounge, in London. :)

The Scanner's Meeting sounded great, Suzy. I've got 'living in the south envy' as I think of all those creative, interesting people getting together on a regular basis. About 100 years ago when I used to go Clubbing on a regular basis the cool people who hung around the bar area where known as 'bar fly's. As for someone who pearch's themself directly on the bar - just sheer class! I'm sure you'll be on a high for the rest of the week as it sounds like you did brilliantly.

Thanks so much Suzy for your inspiring talk at the scanners event. We all felt you 'hit the nail on the head' with the way we are and what we are constantly searching for in this life (I especially loved the part about 'if i just create this or if i just take on this massive venture everything will be o.k...or will it?) Everyone was so lovely at the event and most of all we had lots of fun too!
Make Lounge looks fantastic Jennifer- we all seem to be on this great crafty vibe here!!
Anyone wanting to join in our sewing circle on Saturday we will catch you at Greenwich market from 11am!!
Lots of love Libby Rose xxxxx
