Scraptastic Tuesday - October link up please!

I'm sorry to have been missing for a while - life got in the way and something had to give - it turned out to be my little blog here!

One of the life issues, was taking a little break from England, and venturing North to my Mother country of Scotland.  It is a breath-takingly beautiful country and I do miss it's rugged nature.  The part of England I am in, is a lot tamer, but still lovely - it's just not what I was brought up looking at.

I managed to fit in a bit of visiting and attending the one day stitching retreat that is Stitch Gathering, beautifully run by the very lovely Jo and her fabulous team in the fair city of Edinburgh. 

This was so much fun that I'll definitely be wanting to go again next year!

A highlight for me was meeting up with this lovely lady!

Yes it is Sheila - I've only been running a bee with her for just short of three years and this is the first time we have met.    I have only one lady in the bee to meet face to face and she should be warned I am on the case!  

To make sure I met Sheila, I joined in her Megapinnie class (tutorial on Sheila's blog), and I made this scrappy one, 

....using my citrus coloured Karen Lewis Textiles scraps!  I am celebrating two lovely friendships in one item! I love it and am enjoying using it along with the one Sheila made for me when our bee started out!  The teacup pinnie was a fabulous gift from Sheila.
