Do You Remember....?

when I won a competition set by the luvverly Alison over at Foxgloves? Well, as my camera is STILL not back from the menders I have snaffled my sister's and taken some pics of the utterly gorgeous goodies that Alison sent me. Just look....



and as if that wasn't enough.....



How kind and generous she is! She even sent me a lovely Good Luck card for my exam. If you haven't visited her Etsy shop yet, go and have a look!

A couple of weeks ago I finally got around to having a play with my drop spindle that my lovely mummy bought me on a trip to the Crannog. I loved trying it out and I was reasonably happy with my results, although they are a little..er... lumpy? Anyway, since I have some coloured rovings to play with, I might try spinning some of that and see how I get on.



Now, to the dreaded EXAM I took yesterday. Firstly, thanks to all you very thoughtful people who wished me well - it truly helped! When I got to the exam centre at Hibernian Football ground - well obviously not the actual ground - but a posh conference room called the Edinburgh Suite!, I was surprisingly calm. That soon disappeared when I opened the question paper and everything I looked at made no sense whatsoever - my heart was pounding, I felt sick, I didn't know whether to throw up, run away or explode!! Luckily I managed to calm down and eventually managed to write an answer for each of my chosen questions - I've no idea really how I did - ok I think - but one can never tell till the results are out. I should hopefully find out in August sometime. My family will be highly delighted that I am not agonising over every minute detail of what I have or haven't understood etc etc! They have been extremely patient and supportive - thanks you lot and I love you to bits! And, should she ever read this blog, a special thank you goes to Evelyn Laidlaw - you know who you are!

Now, time to play - Hurrah!
