I think I’ve knitted and crocheted with wool from four out of the five animals below, I’ve never tried rabbit though, how about you?
I don’t think I’ll be needlefelting with Vicuna any time soon!
It’s taken quite a while to get my welcome pack, and with so much else to think about I’d almost forgotten about it. However it was a lovely and welcome surprise to receive this pretty box of patterns and information, and promises of jolly things to look forward to at the end of next month.
I’ll be relaxing with fellow crocheters, there will be surprise guests and a special workshop, all in a lovely B & B a short distance from York. I’m looking forward to taking lots of pics so I can tell you all about it when I get back!
I have so much to sort out as you can imagine it’s meant I’ve been struggling to get my Planet Penny mojo back. Today a lovely lunch with a friend, Kay of Arts Desire, when we arranged dates for a couple of needlefelting workshops as well as having a general brainstorming session, has been a great help. I’ve found some amazing ‘blasts from the past’ to share with you while sorting through my mum’s house, my old home, so I’ll be back soon.
And meanwhile I am really looking forward to the Crochet Retreat with Frank and Olive, do go along to the Frank and Olive Facebook Page to find out more.
See you soon…!
Hello again… I’m so glad to be back here among friends. I can’t tell you what a huge comfort your many messages have been to me over the last month, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Everything culminated in this last weekend’s farewell to my darling mother; a few days of sadness and laughter, tears and memories, spending time with loved ones who are usually too far away. The funeral in the little country church, the choir, the woven casket smothered in early summer blooms and yellow roses… the singing of ‘All Things Bright and Beautiful’, the voice of her youngest little great grandson chattering to himself while the vicar spoke his comforting words, everything was a perfect tribute to a wonderful brave and loving woman. Her passing has left a huge gap in my life, and I need to go on, to continue to strive to make her proud.
So I’ll be back here very soon. There are all sorts of exciting projects in the offing for me to share with you! There is one weekend left of the Norfolk and Norwich Open Studios and I will be about on the Saturday if you would like to call in.
Thank you again, and I’ll be back very soon…x
