it's Friday night and I'm loving....

the lighter nights creeping slowly towards spring...when I left work tonight it wasn't quite dark...and it was only raining which is better than the sleet of Thursday night!

  

that we've had sunshine and crisp frosty days this week to brighten life up, it lights up the branches and berries as it lights up hope



that there may be winter still to come but there are buds on branches, and the first snowdrops and primroses are appearing nestled under the hedgerows...


that my machine embroidery workshop at Making...at The Studio on Sunday was fantastic...I had three very talented stitchers, who went away inspired...and who inspired me! it makes me so happy and is so satisfying to help other people to get creative...thanks to Gill, Helen and Ursula for making it a wonderful day...


Gill's lovely bunting...

 

Helen creating delightful delicate hearts




Ursula sewing beautiful textured seedheads...


and last but most especially that my dear friend Chris gave me THE most wonderful handmade jumper for my birthday (some kind of special one!!) which must have taken many months of knitting and is utterly gorgeous and I can't stop wearing it! thanks a million Mrs B! I love it! You are soo talented...
