OK, I have many reasons to smile, but yesterday, out of the blue, I had 2 more.
Do you recognise one of these? (BIG HINT – Brenda Ballerina!)

Well, would you believe it, I had won myself a £20 voucher to spend at Abakhan!
And then, prompted by a friend who told me I might want to look in my Love Sewing magazine, I saw this
Freya, in the kimono I made her!
A double whammy!
Love, Lucie xx
Woohoo! I know* somebody famous.
* ‘know’ In the internet sense of the word.

Ha, ha! We were having hysterics when we saw it. I’m not sure if Freya was more appalled than proud!!! (She did take a photo of it though;) )

Now there’s a question. Being brought up on the North Wales coast in the days before internet, Abakhan was our nearest fabric retailer. My mum and I spent many a Sunday morning in there. I think I’ll have more enjoyment choosing in person than over the net so I’ll hold onto it until my next trip to see my parents.
