Not much to report

Nothing much is happening at the moment. On Saturday John and I went to Manchester. We visited the Whitworth Museum so see a textile exhibition. but also to look at the craft fair. It was lovely to meet Jackie from Dogdaisy Chains

Her work is even more beautiful "in the flesh" I would have loved to have bought all sorts of things but had to settle for a small brooch in Autumn shades of hand dyed silk.

Then it was off to China town for lunch dodging the many puddles as we went. Manchester seems to have a dreadful puddle problem.


I can show one thing I have made recently: a needle case for my internet friend Sherre in USA








The snowmen are two pictures from a panel I had in my stash. I designed it as I went along and I am quite pleased with the result.

Other makes are hidden until after the Christmas gifts have been opened.

Last night we went to see Kate Rusby at St George's Hall and despite having a cold her voice sounded nearly as good as it always does. She sung mainly Christmas songs from her new
album


Its still chilly here but the forecast suggests that it will be warmer wetter and windier
