All the new stuffs and sleep and about 4 weeks till Portland

I am almost stopped.

Of course there were many many more new things planned for me to have ready before Portland but not only will there be no time, there will be no room in the suitcase for them either.

Ulrich Little Heart (creative card) will be debuting at AQC next week

Classic Messenger is ready and available now

Louie, Monkey of wonder is almost ready

Madame Sausage is almost ready

I am a little bit sick (My throat is like the fire of Hades) but mostly just strangely tired. I sleep deeply every night and then BAM wide awake at ungodly O’clock pondering the fate of the world, gusseted button joints and how to cook tuna for the following night’s dinner. Does this happen to you ? I have to say it is a special kind of dementing .

I’ve been told its quite common in “Ladies of a certain age” 

Apparently it is also quite common for sleep addled ladies “of a certain age” to lean in and slap people.

wakey wakey !

Before my sleepover was rudely cut short last night by a blackout at about 11.20. This is where I was up to.

Little thread holder for the kits.

Chorus heels were sparkled. (Hot glue guns really are amazing things!)

and I had another attempt at the hedgehog. On Friday a parcel of selvedges arrived from Kristen Doran and they looked so good together that I had to make a little project for them. Thanks Kristen! I have included the rest in the big project of course. Your selvedges are beautiful.

Thanks to Fiona for organising the sleepover, I wish she were here in person I could have used a spare pair of hands , those sequins were a bugger!

aha !

Envelopes to put all the bits and pieces in ????

Not enough time in the day...so I'm sleeping over

Hurray - shes' back and not dead as I feared (and wrote on the form)

The green curtain fabric for the show is sulking in the corner , but after almost 5 days with no machine - I am hardly rushing to sew that !

Tonight as part of Fiona's sleepover am working on kit ideas for the birdcages -

I'll be back later with a progress report.
