Applogies for not posting any news in the last few weeks. It is exactly as they say, no news is good news!
So much has happened in the last few weeks, I battle to keep up with it all.
It was my birthday and I turned 50! No matter what they say it is a rather scary number, however I am so pleased I made it this far. Just imagine what I can get up to in the next 50 years to come.
Thank you for so many wishes, flowers and many other kind gifts and messages. It was a really special day. 
My husband and I then spent a weekend in Venice. There are no words to describe it except if you happen to have a “bucket list” or what ever you might like to call it, Venice has to feature. We had a fantastic weekend. This photograph was taken from the Bridge of Sighs.
I would also like to thank Nicola and Amanda who popped into Purl Soho while visiting New York and brought back some absolutely beautiful bits and pieces for me.
The wool is from Blue Sky and is an alpaca and silk blend. It is called Metalica and is also available at Loop in London.
Watch this space for a delicious shawl which will be created with great gusto.
Now, it is back to real life and thank goodness that also means getting down to some serious crafting. This will have to take place in the kitchen today . I have been given a box of cherries which need to be turned into jam.
With or without pips, what do you think?
Hope you are having a great week too
love, Ex
PS: How could I forget? The Wool Warehouse are having a super sale on their Drops products.The sale ends on 31st May. If you are in need of some wool, and who is not in need of some wool? Make sure you have a look.
love to craft
