A nice surprise

Well what can I say, had a pleasant surprise when I got home today, some velvet I had ordered a little while ago that I have specially tie dyed arrives ahead of schedule and the colours are gorgeous. The lovely lady that dye's them lives in the beautiful county of Norfolk, in a village called Gooderstone. The velvet is really scrumptious and soft and the colours Sandra has done for me are lovely. Sandra has even dyed one in a turquoise colour for a special bag that I am going to make for a friend Joanne who takes part in re-enactments, Joanne also makes her own outfits to suit the period they are doing. Tomorrow Joanne is off to Bath on a Jane Austin weekend and again has made hers and her husbands outfit, well hello Mr Darcey, I am envious !!!!

love
