Absent without leave

Well its been a while since I posted, but I do have a good excuse, I was sunning myself in Turkey for two weeks and have been running around like a headless chicken in the week I have been back.
I finished off my article for Fibre & Stitch Issue 6.

Best of all Lynda and I launched our first online class 'Textured Surfaces' we have such a great bunch of students, who are willing to try all the techniques with such enthusiasm its a real pleasure to have them on board.

While I was on holiday as well as buying a couple of embroidered bags and some great tops for next summer I bought these bits and pieces, I can't wait to take them apart, I love the imagery on the little bookmarks.and the metal edges on the hangings are just asking to be made into something.



I haven't had chance to look through my photo's properly yet but here are a couple of the places we visited

Ephesus





A snippet from The Temple of Apollo

Welcome back, I've never been to Turkey so like Connie Rose would love to see more of your pics!

Oh, Carol, I wish I'd been able to sneak into your luggage for stowaway purposes - it looks wonderful. I agree - more pictures are needed? Is the Temple of Apollo at Ephesus? And your shopping - wow! More information and illustration, pleeeeease!

Oh!! You lucky thing, I'm really jealous :-) especially as we've been suffering some very cold weather at home in the last couple of weeks. Good to see you back.
Great souvenirs
