Hello wednesday–roses and iris
12/02/2014
Another piece of Silk ribbon embroidery today, it is the pair to the one I showed you
for our first Challenge day of the New Year, last Thursday.
This one is Roses and Iris, I must admit that I have fallen in love again with
ribbon embroidery. Maybe it is something to do with working with silk.
Sorry about the extra watermarks, but they are new kits.
We did extremley well with them last week in Paris and hope the ladies of Metz
will like them tomorrow. If you would like to reserve yourself a pair to embroidery, then please
call Bev 01258 455889 and she will contact me.
I would normally say she would pop them in the post for you…….BUT……..I stole all the stock!
Off to set the stand up, hope it will not take too long, Tony said he would take me to lunch.

Do you remember a while back I told you I had been working with aliens?
Well.......they have landed. To be honest they arrived by DHL!
Not just Aliens but look at that cute message ribbon.
"Love you to the moon and back"
How cool is that?
This ribbons are NOT on the website and will not be going on for a couple of weeks.
Tony and I left on Tuesday night for two weeks away in France.
A loving romantic trip you are thinking............
.....NOPE!
We are the L'Aiguille en Fete show for a week and then we move on to Metz for another show.
We have lots of new ribbons, but for the moment you can only get them by coming to see us in France.
If that is to far to travel, then why not give Bev a call 01258 455889 and I am sure she will let you have some aliens.
Wish us luck with the shows.
Take care all.

Are you seeing the New look blog?
30/01/2014
Afternoon everyone.
We have several concerned followers contacting us to say there is something wrong with our blog,
it looks “odd”.
We updated the software last week and gave it a new fresh look.
It should look like this……
If your screen looks different to this, then here are a couple of things you can do.
1. try refreshing the screen by pressing the circle arrow
If that does not work then you will have to clear your browsing history, so that your browser will pick up the new blog details.
We believe that only Internet Explorer Browsers are not showing the new blog correctly.
In Internet explorer you will use the little cog at the top right hand corner of the screen
Press the cog and a drop down box will appear.
Second up from the bottom of the list is Internet options.
Press Internet options and this box will appear.
Press delete and another box will appear
Tick or untick the boxes as shown above in yellow and press delete.
Then press ok on the first box.
Close your the Internet explorer browser down and when you re-open it our blog should
look fresh and new.
Hope this helps.
