Thursday was a good if not pretty hectic day at the NEC. Having got some work done and catching the later 11.24am train, we rolled into Birmingham International only 20 minutes late, together with the passengers from the earlier 9.24am train. I had arranged to meet up with the website's PR person at 2.00pm and reasoned that by having less time at the show, I wouldn't spend as much money. Strangely, I still managed to part with the best part of £30.00! I found Chris and we caught up on things over a cup of coffee. We have an opportunity to forge links with an up-market Textile magazine and I put forward my ideas on how to achieve this. I'm really excited at the prospect of this venture and I can't wait to see how things develop. Afterwards we went to view Alison Murray's Knitted Christmas Tree. It's absolutely huge and if you get the chance to go and see it, don't miss it. She thought up the idea to raise money for
The North Devon Hospice and Great Ormond Street . It will be on view at The Eden Project in Cornwall over Christmas. She's currently organising the knitting of a Giant Gingerbread House with lots of 'spin offs' like a book of gingerbread recipes. We all have good ideas, but all credit to Alison (and her mum) for making it happen.
