so yesterday.......

First thank you for all the beautiful and kind comments sent after my last post. We really miss her. I tried to reply to all of them but if I didn't 'Thank You' and especially to those that got in touch personally.
I am so behind with my own blog and with reading others. There are two reasons, one, life just went a bit crazy when I went back to work in September and the other reason is the fault of my iPad. I like to catch up reading other peoples blogs in an evening on my iPad but for some unknown reason (and unknown to to the nice man at Apple where I took it a couple of weeks ago) my iPad won't let me scroll down through my blog any more. So I can only read blogs and update my own when I sit at my computer which is something I don't do very often.
There.....explanation done. So do forgive me.
The sitting room ceiling fell in during September!
Since September I have been very creative, we have been on lots of walks, had a few evenings and days out with friends and family and I have been very busy at school.
I will try my best to do a few catch up posts over the next few days and visit some of your blogs. I really want to keep my blog going, you are all so lovely!
So back to September.
First a lovely workshop at Hope and Elvis with my bestest Bloggy pal Diane.
 A Mandy Pattullo workshop.
 We met up with some familiar faces.

 I took way too many photos of Mandy's beautiful work.

 Read about the workshop on Sujata's post here and Diane's blog post about it here.

Sujata took this photo of Diane and I
Some people also bought a couple of Mandy's pieces!
 These are a few of the lovely works in progress during the day.







my hare
I managed to do most of my hare at the workshop.....and finish it at home.


Next was a lovely day spent with friends at the Rushbearing.

 A colourful affair as always.
 Here is a post about last years Rushbearing.
and 2011 rushbearing here and this post from 2010 has a more information about the Sowerby Bridge Rushbearing.
I will be back with more catch-up very soon.

    So sorry to hear that you've lost your beloved Lucy. They are a member of the family and losing a pet is so hard. You gave her a lovely home though and I'm sure she had a very happy life. x

    Thank you about the mention Lyn, it's very kind of you. I have problem with my ipad too leaving comments. Never understood why sometimes it does and other times I can't manage leave comments on other blogs. It is frustrating. Your hare looks fab. I still haven't finished my stag. Must do it soon. And I am so sorry about your loss. Big hug to you. Take care. X

    Lovely to see you back Lyn. Looks like you had some lovely times back in September at the workshop - it would have been my kind of thing. Beautiful happy photos too. x

    I do admire the work that you have done on the hare. It is a lovely piece. Life does get a big crazy sometimes, doesn't it, making it hard to keep up. I do a lot of blogging on the ipad, too. I did a dumb thing, put a water bottle in the bag with my ipad. The lid came off, soaking my book and my ipad. The book I didn't so much about; I was struggling to get it read. But the ipad. Oh dear. It still worked, but I could see the moisture underneath the screen slowly spreading,so I put it in a bag to rice to dry it out. Didn't work, of course. So I took it in to the Apple store. I had purhased Apple Care warrenty and was very surprised that the warrenty covered water damage and I got a new ipad. So if you have the Apple Care package perhaps you could get it replaced. It is very hard living without our dear pet children who become such a part of our families, espeically when we have had them for so long. Have a great week, Lyn.

    I'm very envious - I've seen Mandy Patullo's work in my Quilters Guild magazine and would love to do a workshop with her. Looks like you all had a great time and I love your hare. The rushbearing is something I'd love to see too - it's wonderful that so many traditions are being kept alive. Take care. x

    I'm so sorry for your loss. Sorry about the ceiling problem too, it must be a hassle for you. The workshop looks lovely. I'm glad you had a chance to go.

    If I tried to make a hare like that - or any kind of quilting or any kind of sewing - it wouldn't come out looking anything like what's intended. I wish I could be as neat an precise.

    The Rushbearing looks an impressive event.
