Just popping in to wave and say Hi - it's pretty fab up here high on Cloud Nine. Yesterday I was somewhere else entirely. Not sure what you'd call it, but it was a place where I could hardly speak, hardly stand up and hardly keep my eyes open. I was so unbelievably shattered after our Open Studio event on Saturday that I did briefly wonder if I would ever recover. But today.....well, today I have bounced right back with a big grin on my face and have been feeling on top of the world!
Last night I uploaded the pictures that tell the story of Open Studio, but I'm not quite in the right place yet to formulate the narrative. It was such a great day, it's actually very hard to put the feelings into coherent words. I've been feeling quite emotional every time I think about it to tell you the truth, like I want to cry suddenly, but only out of absolute relief and gratitude. Like a flood of feeling that has no way of really spilling out, excepting perhaps here on my page when the time is right.
I know many of you are waiting patiently for pictures and to know how it all went, so I'm hoping tomorrow might see me gently float down from my high cloud and back to reality. I'll come right here to story-tell when my feet touch back down. Promise.

Hi Lucy!
I love all the colorful pictures and your crochet work is so inspiring! I do not easily read crochet patterns without pictures. I would like to create some bright cushions or throw pillows for my sofa. Any suggestions or do you have any easy patterns for pillows? I appreciate the feedback!

Love all your lushious wools. Do you use a specific brand? I would love to start knitting and crocheting with sock yarn. Where would I get my supplies.
I live in Canada and follow your blog.

Cloud Nine days are so few in number.....so you stay and enjoy yourself for a while. Look out for the bump back as sometimes it comes far too quickly....looking forward to seeing the pictures.
