A lovely surprise.

When I opened my post yesterday morning, this mysterious little package was inside one of the envelopes. It had come from Sara Lechner whose blog is Fabric and Meditation. Inside I found this delightful little piece of her work. Thankyou Sara.

There is a pin on the reverse so it could be worn as a brooch, but I would be worried about snagging it on something or losing it - it is far too precious to be worn so I might find a tiny frame for it. I treated myself to Sara's book 'Gesichter' or 'Faces' a few weeks ago, which is full of her delightfully dreamlike and magical designs. I love to visit her blog too.

Sara has even drawn a little face on the label which I might be brave enough to try to turn into a little person one day.

It sounds as if we might be in for another Arctic blast at the end of the week, so stock up for the weekend early, dig out the thermals, hotty bottles and bedsocks again and pull up the drawbridge. Keep warm and safe.
