are so precious and can make all the difference to life! they think about each other even when they can't be together...share experiences and most of all help each other out in so many ways...as well as remembering each other's birthdays even when they aren't 21 any more...
a good friend visited me on Saturday and brought these beautiful red blooms...aren't they stunning? I had to put them in "Grand Edna" our biggest vase (wedding present...doing well!) to show them off...
I spent most of Saturday with my friend, we talked and had lunch out and
came back to my studio...she is an undercover poet (I was an undercover
artist but am now 'out'!) and we are sharing a new experience of trying
to work together...she with words and me with stitches... to
create...well who knows what...we have no idea what will come out but
the process will be something special too. She has a beautiful knack of
observing the tiny elements of life and can create a moving image with
her delicate framework of words...
and we share something precious...a history...an understanding of each other as who we are...for me especially of who I was before I became a mother...and we have lots of raucous fun too!
and I'd like you to meet my newest best friend, Lulu.... a real smooth mover and clicker...bright and sharp but soo kind and friendly and easy to use too...rather shy, prefers to be behind the lens but for once here she is in her shining glory...
and this photo is of some of my work now in the shop at Tullie House Art Gallery in Carlisle...thanks to a friend behind the scenes...I am thrilled to see my creations in a proper shop!
...no the scarves aren't mine, but the pictures are and you may recognise the basket of brooches and little birds...the spotty flower brooches are brand new EmmieandEmma designs...
and lastly I must thank my dear friend Fifi my sewing machine...she has been my constant companion these many years and without whom I could not make or create or stitch or sew or embroider...unthinkable! she too is rather shy...but here's some of her recent creativity...
think she's feeling a little summery...fingers crosssed she's right!
see you soon, have a lovely week my blogging friends...
love Emmax

I really enjoyed your post Emma - your descriptions of each of your friends was so absorbing and entertaining! Ah yes - it's so important to value friends, and I agree with a comment you made earlier regarding fellow bloggers - so many lovely folk out there offering mutual encouragement: I too have gained sooooo much from this relatively new activity (for me).
Thank you!!! Joy xx
