Only a few weeks since the demise of the kettle and toaster, the latest kitchen appliance to break is the washing machine! A new shiny one will arrive tomorrow.
The packs are selling well (which is a good job!) and it feels like the Post Office is my new home. When I have finished making and posting the packs, I have an article to write for a magazine and I have to proof read another of James' books! Maybe I will have to change the name of the blog to Ruth Burbery - Proof reader and Inspiration Pack distributer!! Oh well!

Inspiration Pack Update
I am still getting positive responses which is great and I am sending out another big box full of Inspiration Packs this afternoon!
The very first ones I sent out will be on sale tonight so I am interested to see how they do.
I finished an embroidery yesterday but I think it needs some extra work on one area which does not look right. We shall see!

Inspiration Packs
I have spent the last few days writing to every Embroiderers Guild branch in the UK asking if they are interested in my Inspiration Packs. I have had several positive responses already so we shall see where that leads. Some asking if I would do workshops too, so that is great!
I have been working extra hard today so I can finish a bit early and watch the Six Nations. I can't wait! :@.

Quiet Friday
James managed to get to and return from Newcastle with relative ease, despite the snow and train strikes!
I have been to Port Talbot to teach a group of children which was lots of fun!
I am having a play day today, writing to the branches of the Embroiderers Guild about items I have for sale to see if anything comes of it. I am going to the Guild this afternoon with my Mum which will be fun

Anniversary
It was James and my anniversary yesterday which marked 13 years together. (Hooray!) We managed to find some nice vegan food to bring home so all was very chilled.
Today I finished one of my new embroideries (2nd Hooray!) and James and I are spending the afternoon together because he is going to Newcastle to stay with friends for a few days while I dog sit. It is snowing a little bit with more due tomorrow so hopefully all will be well travelling
I will be having a few days off too so I am not sure there will be any posts for a few days
