Apologies for absence...

I've been surprised and touched by the number of people who've asked me where I've been for the last couple of months and why have I stopped blogging! The short answer is, as many of you know, commuting back and forth to London. Hence lack of time for craft projects! This may now change, however since next Saturday I've been invited to afternoon tea at the Randolph Hotel...

This momentous occaision is to celebrate a friwnd of mine completing her MA after 5 years of hard work (while still working full time)! She is herself somewhat of an epic crafter, who makes bunting at a rate of notts and sews most, if not all, of her own clothes. She also has a wonderful penchant for ceremony and, hence, has decreed that everyone should dress to the nines and that hats are mandatory!

At some point when I first found out about this, I got excited and told her I'd make a hat rather than buying one. Now I have 1 very heavy work week remaining to complete this project which I have yet to start...

So, my plan is to head to john Lewis's habidashery department tomorrow before work and grab some things to create a small facinator type top hat...

Will I get it made? Watch this space...
