Phew. What a busy week I've had. Just about coming out on top I think, with enough time to quickly bob in to the Attic to say Au Revoir! I am off on my travels later this afternoon, my tummy feels like a thousand butterflies have taken up residence in it. I am excited and nervous, it all feels quite ridiculously unreal at the moment, like I am in some kind of dream world. But it's a good dream, full of yarn and colour, chat and laughter, travel and glorious vistas.
I've been working hard on designing a quirky little project to take for the wonderful ladies who will be in Provence with me...such fun! I was originally going to assemble all the yarn and components into little kits, but as the yarn needs to be in small quantities with LOTS of colour play, I decided that a Communal Heap of the stuff would be the way to go. I hope I've got a bag big enough for the above to squeeeeeeze into?!
I'm looking forward to sharing this project with the world, it's one of those things that's been sitting in my Creative Mind for quite some time, jigging about and making it's way slowly out into the world. Provence seems the perfect place to bring it to life, I hope it's not going to seem silly to everyone else?! It's a true Attic24 creation, colourful and whimsical, a little bit of decorative fun...
....a creative combination of crochet and embroidery, buttons and beads.
Well my lovelies, I really do need to scoot now. Three hours till my train leaves and my clothes are still tumbling in the drier! Last minute as usual.
I will be thinking of you all whilst I'm away, pointing and shooting my dinky little silver camera
See you when I get back xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Bon voyage and have a wonderful time.

Ahhh, I'm jealous of those who will be attending. It sounds like it will be a fantastic week (just sooo expensive!). Have fun, and I very much look forward to seeing the photos of the creations and of Provence.
