Missing From Blogland... Agan!!!!!

Well, I did have some pics at Sydney airport before I left to prove I had my stitching with me, however, cannot find those pics.

I have just returned from the most a m a z i n g trip - something that hubby and I have wanted to do for many years, and we decided t his was year.

We have just returned from a fabulous River Cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam.

I have to say it was just fabulous.

Now - it is all back to reality.

Of course I havent lost my passion for Stitching, however can say that there I didnt get as near much as what I had planned and took with me as was constantly distracted from the gorgeous Scenerery.

I did manage to find a couple of Patchwork shops though so was beside myself.

Something that I have wanted to do for many years.

Thought I would share a pic.

This is the first Patchwork shop I found.

It was in Rothenburg , Germany

Just love the buildings around here.

Shop was closed for lunch, but luckily opened a few hours later,

so you can sense yes I was first in the door!!!

And this was the lovely lady who served me.

We did well with the language barrier.

ie I showed how much I wanted and she cut.

Then in Amsterdam I was excited to find this shop::

until..... I read the opening hours.

It Was Thursday!!!!! and they  opened, frustration plus!!!!

and we were leaving the next day - grrrrrr

then .... just next door was this lovely little shop!!!!

I didnt think it would appeal, until I walked in
