Sew, was it just a dream?



At nightfall I closed my eyes.
And when I awoke, there I was: in a beautiful place in the country.



Was it a dream?
How else does one explain this?



I don't know what dreaming about storks means ...
... but the rest of the message was clear.



Sew all day and into the night.



And enjoy the wonderful company: the conversation and laughter. Not to mention the food (oh, the food!).



Yesterday as I looked through my bag, some sewing and sketches confirmed that I must have lived the dream. No matter how distant it already seemed.

And blimey ... that stork in the leg warmers and scarf must have been real.

    Well I know it was Ms Myrtle and Eunice what made the legwarmers, but who added the scarf?

    It does sound like a fabulous place (in both senses of the word!) everyone who blogs about it says it's heavenly. Well done you for getting away for a break.

    Cheers,
    AJ

    Oh, how wonderful! You've given me the idea - one day I'll have a proper sewing room, and it will have embroidery hoops on the wall with my favorite fabrics. :)

    Hmmmm, suggesting that as the scarf is purple we look to Stompergirl.

    One day I'll get there, one day.
