token men begrudgingly following behind!!! LOL!

Anyway we had a lovely time together and then split and went our separate ways.

I asked a lady who was standing close by to take a photo of us.

Just wanted to let you know that we all survived it even getting up early and catching trains and mono rails and taxis to get there. They must be making thousands of dollars on this Exhibition!

Love and blessings Chris

1. Meg, Irene, me and Pauline. Pauline was being a card! and put her hand up behind me!!!!

It was a miserable, wet and windy day in Sydney today but cleared up later in the afternoon.

Hope you girls all got home o.k. By the time I got home it was pitch black!!!!

Well, I certainly had a ball, so much so I have blisters on the soles of my feet. LOL!!!

Coming home we actually got on the wrong train, Irene got to he station ok, but Pauline and I ended up going four stations on the wrong line, we had to get off, change platforms and catch the train back to a junction, then change platforms again to catch a train on the right line. All this extra walking I can tell you my poor puppies are howling!!!

I only got to see 4 aisles of the fair so I may have to drag Ray out there on Sunday. I'll have to think about that one, I already spent a small fortune on all sorts of goodies including a set of phenomenal new rules, invented by an Aussie lady, and so amazing I just had to have them.

Also bought bag making gear, beaded ribbons, flowers, cameos, more scissors n forceps and scissor holders.
Went to three, free, instruction classes, but I would call them inspiration classes more than instruction classes as they didn't show you HOW to do things, just ideas of things to do.

I even bought a CD with 27 handbag patterns, unusual for me as I usually draft my own patterns.

I had a truly lovely day and it was such fun to catch up with Chris and and to meet Irene for the first time.

I hope next year we can encourage more Cuties to meet up with us, we know they are out there.... maybe they think we'll bite. LOL!!!

Any how, I'm glad you got home safely Chris, next year we can drive or train it down together.

Hugs n roses to all, I'm off to soak my poor, sore feet. :-)

Thanks Chris, what a great picture and from reading sounds like you all had a ball and probably had great fun spending your money too. Look forwards to seeing some of it in the projects?

So happy for all of you; it is grand that you were able to get together and have a lovely time looking at embroidery/sewing products, projects, etc.
It looked like great fun. You're lucky to have such a sweet friendship. You all look great, even though it is apparently chilly.
