Tired and Contented

Today it's collapse in a heap.  The Textiles on the Hill weekend started off like this:

The Material Girls shop all set up with Carol and Jill ready..... and opposite them was the kitchen also ready.

Piles of the most gorgeous home made cakes - which our visitors indulged in and enjoyed a lot.
Alas I don't have any more pictures... helping out in the various areas, I forgot to take the camera out again!  But I'm sure full photos will be on The Material Girls blog, website and other personal blogs, so do check back.
It was a busy weekend, lots of visitors.  Vanessa I know you enjoyed your time, but thank you, you certainly made our weekend spending so much time with us.  And others who said "I promised my husband I'd be home by 2pm" - looking at the clock which was ticking towards 4pm.  Caught up with people not seen in quite a while, which is lovely.
And back home its recover, and find a way to put everything back into the cupboards it came out of.
Wednesday its out again to take down the Embroiderers' Guild display, which had extended time in the shop where it was hung and which moves on to another venue.
And I still have post-its up with lists... things to do in the next couple of weeks, then there is a break....

Textiles on the Hill - Coming Up

Yesterday I asked him indoors to look over something on the computer, which included line diagrams.  Those are good he says, how did you draw them.... errrr with a pencil?  Sometimes low tech and scanning is a whole lot easier and faster than high tech.
Tick, tock.... time is evaporating and its getting ever nearer to:

The post-it notes are welded to the puter, and the "oh forgot, I need that" seems to get ever larger.  Its usually the obvious you leave behind.  Oh yes, I've got to make cake for the weekend.  I don't do baking, this could be interesting, a lot of cheating is involved, I don't even own a cake tin any more!

I hope you will come along to see us - everyone has worked so very hard for this - to share textiles with the wider community.  Come along for the demonstrations - list on the right - and I'm first up, as soon we we open, so come upstairs and see me.
