Hippy Sheep ....

Just done one fo the those on-line surveys and it says I am a Hippy Sheep... =)

.... OOppss the last post was Sept6 ... Well Sept disappeared into our holiday in Canada and the States... Then most of October disappeared into catching up !! The holiday was BRILLIENT ! Managed to meet up with a number of frineds, stay with a couple and see LOADS ! We are saving up for the next trip ....

Went to the Ally Pally Knit & Stitch show. Good day out with C and ladies from my Embroiderers Guild. Meet with Z and her Mum, My mum and big sis too !
Did not spend that much as had Guild money to spend. As their treasurer had the debit card to use =)

Finally told Aion that I would be stepping down as Exchange organisor. Generally my board useage is dropping and often I only open Aion , TWBB or UK Stitchers to check on exchanges. I enjoy the GTG and stitching with friends more ... Find it really hard to keep up with all the long messages and the rate at which stuff happens.

Good News
***********
Our friends from NY state are going to be over here next summer for a holiday =)

I have been asked to do some model stitching and have started the first piece =) Its coming along well.

Back to the City and Guild work. Current module is on Elizabethian costume. I have selected bodices and corsets to concentrate on. Had Friday off this week and spent time building some experimental fabric samples .... Was going real well with some freeform knitted samples until the wool needle broke ! Will need to get a new one ! Each Monday I have an e-mail exchange with my Canadian friend where we both write down our aims for the week, then encourage each other to keep it going.
