4. Knitting4fun
5. African Fabric Shop

It should be a brilliant day!!!

It's getting closer.

Thanks to lots of help from my youngest daughter Kezzy, all 250 goody bags are packed for Regional Day next Saturday.

Today, it was up the M11 this cold damp morning and back this afternoon, with the roof down and sunnies on enjoying the sun.  Had a great day with F.E.T. making a sketchbook, mine is nearly finished, just got to make the covers, but I don't think it will be happening this week.LOL
Tomorrow, a barbq  all being well.
After the meeting, I enjoyed the Cottenham Village Festival, lovely atmosphere and live music to listen too!

9 sleeps!!

Until Regional Day.  Yesterday, this big box arrived containing the goody bags for everyone attending
Madeira Lecture.

Not only is Regional Day happening, my daughter has her Prom the next day, so today, it is off for a dress fitting.
Yesterda,y Kezzy was 16, so a very busy evening.  At the moment I need another 12 hours in my day!!!

Linda Miller

 What a busy night we had!!!

Linda Miller gave us an amusing and informative talk last night, she also bought along slides of her work, it is stunning!

She is coming back in July to do a workshop and as life has been a bit full on, I WASN'T going to do it.  BUT after seeing her work and listening to her, as there was some spaces, I couldn't resist. Still some spaces if anyone is interested.
After the talk, it was handing out Regional Day tickets and tying up all the loose ends-cant believe that is going to happen a week on Saturday!
A late night and a very early morning today, means that I have now finished writing my school reports, now to do some more paper work for Regional Day.  I have been trying to make a piece of work for our Regional Day competition, but I am not sure if I will get it finished in time.

Tonight.

It is Embroiderers' Guild tonight and we have Linda Miller.  Tickets for Regional Day will also be available to non-members who want to visit us tonight.  7.30 pm at Christ Church, New London Road, Chelmsford.

Twitching!

At work on Friday I used my sons Nikon camera to try and get photos of the mother woodpecker feeding her baby.  Unfortunately, I have never used this camera before, so I had not altered one of the knobs on the lenses. Soooooo, back into work yesterday morning early, with the camera lens now on the right setting, and the baby had left the nest or been had be the squirrels. Gutted!!
