My DH caused the second flow of tears last Tuesday when he bought me a Vagabond, but they came after I had already been reduced to tears when I received this from
Hels.
No, it wasn't her suitcase full of her craft goodies, but a mini case altered by her own fair hand and looking not dissimilar to my lovely Vagabond. Inside was another treasure:
Just look at the magic as I unfold this piece:
I so adore that dangly bead:
When I opened it up and saw the inside, I gasped:
Then the tears really fell when I read the little message:
I will treasure this forever.
I am so very lucky to know some amazing crafters out there and be able to say that they are my friends. the craft world can be a 'bitchy' place and I just feel sorry for those who cannot accept it for what it is - the BEST hobby in the world.
Right then, I suppose I should make tracks. I have to go and have a couple of parts of my body squashed between 2 very cold sheets of metal in a vice-like grip. Oh the joys eh girls??
