I've never seen a spider with feelers like these before .

The ladies attending the workshop were well pleased he had vacated the premisis.

WOYWW......

Or in my case what should have been on my desk this Wednesday!!!
Loads of new fabric for the shop ----
The shipment arrived in Aberdeen at 7am   and at 6pm there was no sign of it !!!
So much for a half day !!!
But there's always a silver lining .......
Samm and Lily came out to Alford instead of me going in to them and we spent a super afternoon
doing jobs in the shop and Liiy was just charming the socks off all the customers .
I stayed open whilst awaiting Mr delivery man and had lots of new faces popping in .
And there's more ...
after the girls set off home I stayed on and took time to make the sample for a childrens class next week,
as those in this neck of the woods know it's the tattie holidays

 The class --- 
a cute little cushion with a heart applique
they learn blanket stitch and practice sewing on buttons
then finish by constructing the cushion
and tah dah
their own creation




The class is at --- the sew room
