Visit to Newark

Went to the Crafty Notions open day in Newark and had a great day being entertained by Sarah Lawrence.
She says "Guess you don't know how I did these"

Free Postcard

Yesterday I received the wonderful new books"Stitches, Straps and Layers" by Maggie Grey and "Stitching the Textured Surface" by Carol McFee and Linda Monk - they arrived SO quickly too - thanks for that Maggie - such efficiency!
I got this lovely postcard which I'm assuming is one oj Carol's? though it doesn't seem to be identified - anyway thanks! - I'll treasure it and I love the books.

Teapot Day

In response to Dale's Teapot Day - here's my Shelley Teapot and jug - given to my Mum in the '40's - has a look of garlic!

These are a few of my favourite crocs!

Thought I would join in the plate day with Elizabeth - elizabeth-aboutnewyork.blogspot.com and Dale - downunderdale.blogspot.com - with their plate day - what a great idea Elizabeth!- must learn how to just use people's names as links too - how do you do that?
