Inspired Stitches

Oh My Goodness!

What a weekend I had!

For those that have been reading along you know that I was booked in to go to the Inspired Stitches weekend that Sarah was organising.

Late Friday night I was perusing my Bloglines and noticed that Granny Loz was on her way, so I commented that I was going to be there too and hoped to see here there.

However, as I had no idea of what she looked like I didn’t know if it was going to happen.

So after lining up and getting in to the room on Saturday morning I choose a table at random and sat down.  Imagine my suprise when I realise that she was sitting right across from me!

Shortly after that,  I worked out that Leanne was on my right.  I also had Kris, Marc, Dawn at my table.  On the another couple of tables we had Val, Claire ,  Amanda, Tessa and Adele.

It was real bloggy meet and an absolute honour to meet all them all.

So combine meeting all of these wonderful ladies that previously I had only read about with actually seeing Melly, Rosie, Leanne and Janelle in ‘real life’ I was just a bit blogstruck!

After reviewing the projects offered I choose to do Melly’s Kokeshi Dolls which looked really cute.

I got the first doll done by the end of the weekend so now I have to finish the next 2 quick smart cause apparently the iron on will disappear in a few months and if it isn’t done by then it will be “too bad, so sad!”

I got to see Butterfly Garden in real life:

And with all the new skills that I learnt on the weekend I reckon I can now do /finish mine without having to do anymore “cheating”.

I bought some patterns and drooled over ones yet to be released:

I had a great time and can’t wait for the next one
