The gift…
It’s been an amazing week in my neck of the woods.
Just truly gorgeous things have been happening over the last seven days…
My sister & her family are coming home!!! You can’t even imagine how insanely happy this has made me.
An amazing, amazing person sent me THE NECKLACE in the mail! Just a totally inspiring act of generosity.
I’ve received sweet handwritten notes, posts & lovely, lovely emails from internet mates. You know who you are and I thank you from the very bottom of my heart.
Finally, yesterday for no particular reason Auntie Pat gifted me a box of lambswool/angora Anny Blatt. This is an incredible treat.
All those years ago when I worked at Woolcraft I used to spend far too long “tidying” the Anny Blatt shelves so that I could enjoy the luxury of this yarn. I imagined that one day I’d be able to make something amazing with it.
Totally inspired by Assemblage & Aunty Cookie I’ve cast on a few stitches.

Wow oh wow oh wow… I didn't know about the necklace and I've just popped over and read the story of how it all began. I can't believe what an amazing piece this is. I simply have to have one… honey? Honey?!

I meant to email you to say thankyou for cafe/op shop recommendation Monday. That was the perfect venue for our little afternoon outing, and we found some treasures to bring home too!
