Dog and Gull

I have just returned from a wonderful workshop visit to the members of the Wolverhampton Embroiderers Guild. We had a fantastic productive day. It always amazes me how the time just fly's by, but everybody used their time wisely and made beautiful pieces, all different in size, theme and use of colour, what a lovely group of creative stitichers, I am so lucky to spend time with so many creative and inspiring folk!
Happy stitching everybody!!

Here are some little faces to celebrate the busy making days that I've had so far for my first fair of the autumn bunch! Festival of Crafts at Farnham Maltings, Bridge Square Farnham, Surrey, GU9 7QR www.farnhammaltings.com 01252 745444 which is the weekend of 15th and 16th October.

It seems as though autumn is really on its way, there is truly a nip in the early morning air and the trees are starting to look tired in green and are turning to the palest russets and ochres.
I have spied freshly fallen conkers, and was excited to break open one of the spiky husks and hold the lovely new reddy brown nut in my palm. But, I'm not ready to let go of summer just yet, I haven't had enough sunshine, I want to stay bare legged and sandaled for a bit longer, and I'm going to try my hardest to do so!
