Bunny Boppin!!

Dear All,
Oh so much to tell....
First a small apology to my secret pal for not posting these pickies sooner.
Not long ago I said I'd had my last package well I hadn't.
When I returned there was one waiting for me, It's a great package.
My secret pal was Juliet
She has a great blog with the most beautiful photographs, and she's very talented.
Look what I got.
emi loved the wool
I'm still slightly freaked by the CD, in a good way. Juliet you dont say why you included the cd.
It's odd cos I'd seen them at glastonbury ( on TV) and thought I must remember that name, and promptly forgot. I've soo enjoyed it. And I have a film of emi dancing to it if you want to see it.
The other things were lovely; wool and sweets in the theme of Sweetpea. I also got a beautiful pin all cleverly crafted by Juliet. It's lovely, I'm going to put it on my denim jacket, especially as I'm going out dancin tonight. thank you Juliet for all my lovely packages.

Other things that have happened this week...
I went to the Lutterworth Embroiderers guild summer BBQ.
Now I have to put a big shout out to the ladies cos apparently there are quite a few who read.
SO HELLOOOOOOO, make yourself known and comment, you dont have to have a blog to comment...... ( click on comment at the end of a post)
We are seriously considering a flash mob BBQ next yr, the weather is always terrible. Mum and I went to the workshop before the BBQ. Run by an amazing women called Alyssa Robinson, she was mums tutor for her city and guild and will be mum's tutor for her diploma ( starting in september!!!!!)
The workhop was fab, It was called TEXTURE; creating surfaces for stitch with heat and gloop, Alyssa showed us lots of pots of goo, textured goos and shrink plastics and rubbing things and I have nothing that would work of a photographic medium that I could show you. So instead I'm going to show you how talented Alyssa is by showing you her cloth doll that she won the midlands embroiderers competition with. She is a very talented woman.( I did ask if I could show it to you). This is Cherry she's a Bakewell tart.

Yesterday I went to another workshop, My only living threads workshop this time. It was "Think 3D" by Kathe Panting. It was very good and totally thinking outside the box.
We had to make structures using paper and bonda web and thin fabric. The structures were based on nature. I was very please with what I produced.

A sycamore seed ,
an Honesty seed head,
and a seed head from an unnamed weed in my garden.

Also whilst on the workshop I bumped into Bev from knitting4fun, who has her new batch of banana yarn in.... need I say more
oh and this morning I blitzed some of the garden, and tonight I'm going to the Ceroc freestyle in loughborough, very excited...

So I've not been idle
