Tomorrow is the day when the external examiner comes to Belfast to mark the City and Guild pieces. She will be looking at my knitted items in particular - I have cupcakes, a gateau and these plate of buns up for scrutiny.
....so keep your fingers crossed for me.
After gaining the Certificate and hopefully a few Awards, I have signed up for the City and Guilds diploma for next year.
On a slightly different theme someone passed the link to this article
in the Daily Mail which links quilting to good health.
Ill let you know how I get on tomorrow,
Ali
Yesterday I spent a very enjoyable morning at the Bead Shop in Annahilt. I have signed up for a jewellery course during the summer holidays and wanted to stock up on some supplies. Not only can you choose beads for a vast selection, the girl (I think shes called Lynne) will help you design and make your item of jewellery.
I strongly recommend a visit, you will come away with a unique and inexpensive piece of jewellery. Don't be put off by the mundane surroundings of the Business Centre where the shop is located - inside it's a completely different world. They is opening another shop in Bessbrook, near Newry in the Richbrook Industrial Estate, come 16th August.
I bought a few wee bags of beads to make up in the course, but I'm sure I'll be back to the shop again soon.
Bye , ali
