happy monday everyone!
geez the weather took a 180 this weekend - welcome autumn - where have you been? so nice to see you now. it was hard convincing the kids that yes - it's time to wear shoes and socks now. a big thank you to christine for conducting such a lovely workshop - it was so interesting to see how everyone's piece progressed. I was completely distracted all day - I think I should of done the workshop - I had hand hooking envy. christine came to the workshop with some interesting equipment - one being the cutter for the wool - the machine functioned without the use of blades - all tension - I loved it! she also gave us a dyeing demo - showing how you can alter a thrift store find to something you would use in your piece. her show is on for another week so come by and check it out.
today will be a day spent sewing - enjoy your day, see you tomorrow! xxa
