A Is For Apron, B Is For Beads, C Is For Copper

Back in my workroom and answering emails, opening the post and sending out kits today.

Two exciting parcels have arrived, one brings copper findings for a new project I'm working on for Beads & Beyond magazine and the other brings a gorgeous zebra print and pink apron from the lovely Jenny on ebay. Of course I was tempted by the dotty, one but the zebra print won me over in the end. Jenny also kindly made me a special apron with a pocket on in the same hot pink. I don't think I've ever owned an apron before, so am not experienced in these matters, but a pocket seemed a good idea.

I needed the apron as soon I'm heading back to Torquay to do a 4-day course with Frances Pickering. This has long been a desire of mine and when I taught in Torquay recently, and saw that Francis would be there soon, I bit the bullet and booked a space.

I put my apron on as soon as the post arrived and am still wearing it. I doubt I'll ever tire of it.
