Last Friday I escaped from work and took an epic journey by Bus to Lewes for the Needlework Festival.
I was very restrained and came away with a few remnants, threads and silk fibre.
I plan to make a bag with the dark green velvet and the leaf patterned fabric.
I had a conversation with Jay from the East Sussex Guild, they're holding an Exhibition in the Autumn which is usually attended by the Island Guild - not heard news of this yet though.
Having a walk around Lewes afterwards my nose was alerted by a strong malty smell, and sure enough I was very close to a local Brewery.

The town was awash with curio and antique shops with multiple floors of collectables - so many that even I started to flag after a while!

Last weekend was the Queen's birthday - so Osborne House was flying the Union Jack. I wish that us locals could get closer, but the estate is quite large, hence the misty shot across the fields.
On my way home later I noticed that the summer site of the local car boot sale had some new inhabitants and I couldn't resist a closer look.
Mum was very wary in this shot and stood giving me hard stare for quite a while. The little black lambs are so sweet.

Toworrow is the Guild AGM, and also we're being taught Dorset Buttons by Ewe Too who are visiting. I haven't any completed work for the Challenge Cups this year, so I'll be doing a lot of admiring instead.
