Hope And Elvis Day! Hooray!


'There once was a seagull from West Kildaire,
Who was asked to the ball and had nothing to wear.
Spied on the beach a jaunty deck chair,
Snipped and stitched
and danced on air.'

Today was one of the best days of my life, it was the Julie Arkell workshop at the fabulous Hope and Elvis studio.
I'll tell you more about my seagull brooch, and all the adventures and shinanigans when I've calmed down and got my breath back!
So happy.

    Even more jealous now. This is going to take more than a bourbon to fix!

    Thanks for all the lovely comments ladies!
    I'm afraid I didn't have the funds to buy a piece, which I would have dearly loved, did you treat yourself Miss Kitty?
    I am still all-a-glow from such an inspiring day!
    I must have watched that Julie Arkell video a hundred times the night before, it didn't much help my giddiness!
    PS: How's about a choccy hob nob instead, Miss CNC?

    You lucky girl!
    I wish I was sensible and could save for an Arkell day, but every time I walk past a charity shop...

Would you like to make a comment chuck?
I'd love to hear your thoughts, just a minute and I'll put the kettle on.
Custard cream or bourbon?
