Okay. Yesterday at 3pm I drove into the city to grab a couple of vintage books – and a whole lot of lovely fresh embroidery floss. Then I was going to come back and upload a little bit about floss and hoops for the Stitchalong people.
But once I got into the city, Cam rang and said…. “Come back NOW. Amy Butler is here!!!!”. So I had to abandon the skein and book mission. Because I really wanted to see Amy! I drove super fast (but still legal, so dontcha worry) back through the city willing the traffic to part (which it didn’t). Of course this was the day that I chose to wear no make-up and have dirty hair… and I only had a liquid eyeliner in my bag. So I was trying to put the eyeliner onto my (fair) lashes and get a bit of eyebrow action going too. I think it KIND of worked. I mean, I sort of looked a bit put together…
Lippy I had. And perfume… and I kind of made my hair look a wee bit less tangly. Anyhoo… I finally arrived back at the shop within ten minutes – looking sort of okay…. and there was MS AMY BUTLER and MR DAVID BUTLER smiling at me!
They were so lovely and cute and we had a lovely long chat about all sorts of things crafty and not crafty! And David gave us one of his CDs, because he’s a bit of a rock n roll kinda guy. And Cam gave Amy an owly necklace. And sent them on a little tour of Gertrude Street… and it was just great.
So my point is – I’m going back to get the floss this morning. And I’ll be adding to my embroidery tutorial around lunchtime – with a floss, hoop and backstitch installment!
So thanks for being patient – and understanding about Amy.
