just spent the day at the knitting & stitching show at the nec

[lucykate]

was excellent

bought fabric, buttons, met up with a couple of magazine editors and talked possible projects

met julie arkell - fab embroiderer/sculptor

flicked through most of the books i have on my amazon wish list and decided which i really do want

best of all - no kids for the day, i was all on my own

bliss!!!

I've changed my blog so that all and sundry can post on it now too! (ranting - I've bookmarked yours too!)

Gm, am going to be contacting you soon about one of your incredible merrylegs horses. Dd wants one, need her to pick out her favourite, as she'd have the whole lot if she had her way!

Oooooh, thank you!!! I can make them to order you know, if DD has any particular colours in mind. I have just got some new japanese fabrics that I am so in love with and haven't cut into yet (they look so lovely without snips in!!!). I also made a rather pretty mint choc chip green one with pink paisley nose and legs today that I will put in the shop tomorrow when the day light means I can take pics.

That sounds good, I like the sound of that. Tomorrow when she's up and about, I'll get her to take a look and pick one.

excellent, thank you very much x
