virus's stress and meeting fellow bloggers

Firstly can i say that i have been silent for a while. This is for a few reasons, the usual being as busy as a bee in summer and secondly being hit by a virus that has knocked me out for the past week. The children got it first and managed to only feel ill for a couple of days. I am on my fourth and feel worse than yesterday - hows that fair?! My answer to all ills and some some non ills is a bath.... stressed? Have a bath. Headache? have a bath. Tummy ache? Have a bath? Infact tired, fed up, ...you get the picture. I thin my children must get sick of me saying it. But is their anything better when feeling a little poorly than to have a big bubble bath run for you?

Also lots of lounging about on the sofa in front of rubbish tele is quite theraputic.

 I did manage to do the stall and have met up with two fellow bloggers. It was great to put faces to names, especially as they have such great blogs.

If you don't know their blogs do have a look.Lakota at Faith hope and charity shopping 

and Benta - they both have fab taste in fabric.... ha ha! Thank you both for dropping by. xx

I am having problems commenting on other blogs at the moment - i am reading i promise. I just wanted to say happy anniversary to Hadley at flyingblindonarocketcycle. and probably the best quilter in the world. x 

fabric and Greenwich market delights

So I have 'done' several weeks at Greenwich Market. I have learnt lots, met lots of people, and humped lots of bolts of fabric back and forth from my house to my car to the market and back (My back can vouch for that!)

At Greenwich there are many stall selling many things, as well as some great shops , I adore the bow maker, my absolute favourite stall there.

 Some of my fabric all laid out ready to cut

 Some of my new fabric, the birds has sold very well. While my favourite is the pointy hat lady riding the elephant.

 And here i am making a sale. The picture was taken by Lorna, who makes her own clothes. I need to take some pictures of them next time.

After discovering that Lorna already has lesson at Greenwich we have got together, she is really talented and does some great lesson and get togethers in the heart of greenwich. Check out her website and if you can come to one of her classes. I am going to go, as i really need to improve my dressmaking and want to become confident with those scary things called button holes and zips!
