The <a href="http://www.livingcreatively.com.au/">Living Creatively</a> ladies were lovely and I met <a href="http://www.feltcuisine.com/">Hiromi</a>, <a href="http://sewyourown.com.au/">Angela</a>, <a href="http://hollabee.blogspot.com/">Bianca</a> and <a href="http://bollewangenhaptoet.blogspot.com">Amelia</a> and saw <a href="http://dearfii.blogspot.com/">Fi</a> and <a href="http://www.amitie.com.au/">Jenny</a> again. I was sitting on my lonesome on the other side of the room in the morning which was a bit crappy, <a href="http://mildlycrafty.com/2008/03/stitches-craft-show.html#c7221965330118839861">most people</a> who went past thought I was just having a quiet stitch on my own! :) But after lunch Jenny and Angela very kindly made some room for me between them and we chatted and demo-ed the afternoon away. I'm continually amazed at how nice all the crafters I've me are. Working in the IT industry just wasn't the same - not that I didn't work with nice people, just that we didn't seem to have many things in common apart from work, and I suppose partly because most of my colleagues were male. I've just been having the time of my life over the past four months coz - a) I've met so many new people, b) they've been female, c) they love craft, d) they've been lovely people! And to top off my great day Amelia gave me a (big) ball of orange cotton that she'd recycled and I'd been admiring - how generous is that! Thanks Amelia, I smiled all the way home (even in the 40 degree heat). MildlyCraftyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12457934048415822973noreply@blogger.com
