Kay was absolutely brilliant! She is so lovely! Aw such lovely people!
Then I hotfooted it to Coventry for the Ministry of mixology weekend - 3 workshops - Brenda Brown, Andy Skinner and Mark Gould. Lots of fun - and meeting up with old and new friends.
The lovely Anne Redfern - and the fabulous Kath Stewart plus me and gorgeous Mo Stokes.
The first workshop I did was with the ever so lovely Brenda Brown - wow - what a lovely lady! And what a wonderful project!!!
We used so many techniques and landed up with this brilliant vintage design - mum and dad feature in the project on their wedding day - full of hopes and dreams. I gave it to my mum on my return - bless her - it brought tears to her eyes! Maybe she loved it - or maybe she was just shattered after looking after my little beauties all weekend! And talking of them - they got their brown tab 1 belt on Sunday at grading....so proud!
Big hugs!!!
