Emily from Ravenhill and I did a magazine swap. I was the lucky recipient of 
Embroidery magazine with a great feature on Julie Arkell and a review of a Janet Bolton workshop too plus lots of inspiring articles. But look what else Emily included in the parcel
isn't she talented, a beautiful knitted and beaded bracelet! I wore it on Saturday night when I went to the Valentines Ball ( without my husband..long story!) and felt like the belle of the ball, possibly due to the champagne as well as the fabulous bracelet. Thank you Emily!
I must also thank Jessica Daisy at The White Veranda as she gave me an award - weeks ago actually and I've been pants and not thanked her properly. Some days the only person who thinks I'm amazing is the dog and that's only because I feed him! So thanks it's great to be appreciated! 
My password for Ravelry has come through and I've started exploring - there's so much inspiration on there, I just need to get better at knitting very quickly!.....so off to do more research...!
