DON'T IT ALWAYS SEEM TO GO
THAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT 'TIL IT'S GONE....
Guess what's missing....
Honestly, I'm bereft! It was making graunching noises...my sewing machine that is *wink* So he's gone to visit the nice service man in Franklins in Salisbury. But I don't know exactly how long he'll be gone and I'm getting sewing withdrawal symptoms...
But other crafting is filling the void - the baby blanket's finished...
...and I'm just about to sew three buttons onto this little cardi which is a prezzy.
Last Friday, Julia and I had a fun day with Janet Fairythoughts and Di (Pixie). A little crafting was done between the chatting and eating, lol!!
Janet seems to be amused by the amount of stamps Julia has.
While Di enjoyed having a furtle through the button bag!
Janet had brought her knitting.....
Di brought these funky crochet hooks...
...so that Julia could teach her the basics of crochet. Now Julia will probably be embarrassed but she really is a terrifically good tutor. She doesn't overload with too much info unless you're ready for the next step, is patient and gives you time for the technique to sink in...comes from years of experience of workshops I guess. Di left with a rather good sample of crochet...well done you! It was a fun few hours well spent in good company. Thanks ladies!!
My fingers are firmly crossed that my machine will be back by next week - oiled up, revved up and raring to go. Oooh, I've just had a moment.... ;-)
