surprise in the post

No, it wasn’t the Colourstreams felt. I’ve been expecting that so that wouldn’t be a surprise.

I received a copy of “Creative Embroidery and Cross Stitch” in the mail. As I don’t subscribe to any magazines, receiving a magazine in the mail usually means that I have something in it. However, I couldn’t recall submitting anything in recent times.

I pulled off the plastic wrap, opened it up and scanned the contents. Oh yes! I wrote an article about writing my left-handed book – “The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion”! I submitted it right at the beginning of our time in Addis, so I had since forgotten about it. I read it through, and I’m pretty sure someone’s cleaned it up, because they’ve used words that I wouldn’t think of using! But it is very nice to have someone make your words sing. 🙂

For those who are interested, “Creative Embroidery and Cross Stitch” are giving away six copies of “The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion”. So grab yourself a copy and follow their instructions to enter, if you’d like the chance to win. They want to know about people’s most disastrous left-handed stitching experiences. Sounds like a fun topic – I’d love to read some of the entries, but I’m sure I’ll never have the chance!

…Shhh… If you want to tell me some here, I won’t tell anyone! (And of course, this blog is only you and me. No-one else reads it…!)
