Yay for Beautiful Friends and also for Bargains!

Spent the most gorgeous Sunday yesterday with delightful Phoebe...sat around for a few coffees and a long chat in town, then didn't want to stop hanging out with each other so we went and had dinner at her house and did some very girly jewellery modification (including hilarious moment when we dropped all the beads on the floor...). Phoebe is just so beautiful inside and out: she's so honest and generous and has the biggest heart and the biggest smile and the most twinkling eyes anyone could have. Anyone who can make you feel utterly convicted and realise what that difficult thing is that you have to do to love Jesus better (and that you absolutely have to do it), and simultaneously make you feel incredibly loved and valued and secure is a winner in my book! Am feeling very blessed!

As for today, i headed north on an exciting walk (the road was very noisy and treacherous cos huge lorries kept whizzing through the lake-sized puddles threatening to soak me) until i reached a the factory shop of textile manufacturer. It was fab! Not the most diverse selection ever but oh, the cheap, cheap prices! How can it be that i have never been there before? I use textiles loads in my art installations. I didn't actually find what i needed for my latest art work but i picked up several pretty designs for decorating my room with. Love William Morris!
