Blimey and wow, do I overuse these? No, not this time!
no I do not, I try not to use them lightly either! Today I had a list of things to write about on the blog, but they now have to come later! Because of this!
Oh yes! She is divine! and I have called her Raspberry, but they may get shortened to Berry! she is so soft and wonderful and lovely and and the list goes on!!! Julie you are wonderful, and she will sit beside me while I’m tapping away at the laptop. She is a lovely early birthday present, as that leads me onto the next thing I was going to write about on here today.
Tomorrow is my birthday, and last night we were deciding what to do, and my sons wanted to go to a science place nearby…hmmm… not really what I wanted to do, so we have now decided that we are going up to London, they will go to the Science Museum with Daddy and Nana, while I go to the V & A!!! Hooray! So if anyone has an suggestions about particular bits to look at, please let me know!
I would also like to say a big thank you for all the support that I have recieved through this blog over the past year or so. A couple of days ago I posted about my son, and a visit to his school, well good and not so good came out of that, and I will write more about that soon.
But it is so great to feel that I have support from so many of you, and that what I do is appreciated outside of our home, so thank you all 🙂
On my last post Beth left a comment asking about the fibres in the piece, I had forgotten to say what they were, what a plum! So, yes, there is Hemp in there, quite a lot actually, maybe too much. There is also silk, silk noil, wool neeps uncarded fleece, and lots of natural undyed English wool rovings, with a little bit of Welsh mountain sheep rovings too. I hope that helps.
Wow, now if you have managed to read all of this you are even more amazing than I thought!!!
cup of tea calling…….

I’m so glad you like her Alice – hope she brings you lots of good luck this year. What a great place to visit on your birthday – I’d head straight for the costume galleries although I also love the oriental carpets – The Ardabil carpet is fab – one of the best surviving ancient carpets. I’d just roam and see where your fancy takes you, afterall it’s your day – enjoy! oh, and write and tell us all about it!

Oh, little Raspberry is so cute. I love her red dress. I keep thinking I should order one of Julie’s rabbits myself. I love them.
As for the V&A, I agree with Julie that the costume galleries are definitely worth seeing. I also love the glass galeries. There are some facinating pieces in there. Also the textile galleries which I think are on one of the upper floors. But just wander. That’s the best thing. I always find that the further away from the entrance you get, the more peaceful and empty it becomes which is lovely. I’ve sometimes felt I was the only one in the museum because I’ve gone to some of the upper floors.
Have a really wonderful day.

You are one lucky girl – Julie’s rabbits are just so special – one of those little girls are high on my wish list for 2007 x

That little rabbit is so cute!!! Thank you for replying to my query, I’d have never have thought to use so many different fibres in one piece, but it works really well.
