There’s a saying about Good intentions… but at present it escapes me… as does the time!

Sorry that i’ve had to be chided by my long suffering spouse to add my 2pn’th.

Part of this rambling is ‘sad’, Suzie no longer is with us at Bumble Bee… when she returned from her trip, she made the desision to seek full time employment… which at present I cannot offer… so we wish her good luck with her plans and employment, but we will miss her loads.

I’ve had to do a lot of soul searching about whether to replace her with another quilter… (which would help me loads) or find another solution… to which end I now have a lovely girl ‘Cassy’ ably looking after the shop on a Saturday… she may not know a lot about quilting, but on recent showing is a very quick learner… bear with her and i think she will do very well… This will enable me to take stock ‘so to speak’ and work out in the coming weeks how best to move forward.

The rest of my news is very positive… (you’ll be pleased to hear)

My ‘Mother of the Bride’ occasion is speeding quickly on… only another 5 weeks to go… 6 bridal party outfits to alter, numerous bouquets to help make and a last minuite 3 weeks, 3 tier wedding cake to ice and patchworking! but it will be worth it… I love them both dearly + the 3 rug rats (my new 3 adorable granddaughters)

All commissions have been completed, the ‘Teresa Anna’s Quilt’ has enough squares returned to complete… which will be the post wedding challenge, so that the raffle can happen during the rest of this year and next through to october 2009… so keep checking this website for a chance to get your ticket.

I’m attending a number of exhibitions/fairs during the summer

Llanidloes – Minerva Centre 3-5th May

Pontfhydfendigaid – Pafiliwn Bont 31st May- 1st June (tbc)

Carno – Community Centre 25th – 27th July (to be confirmed)

will hopefully not be so long in writing again!!!!!!
