Glad the eye has healed so well. Harrogate...rings a bell...is it featured in the Catherine Cookson novels? Or something to do with tea methinks? I just LOVE seeing Gypsy on the design wall and hearing that someone else dithers and fusses about no same fabrics together...lol...and has a messy creative space, a happy mess! Gypsy will be so very beautiful.

I, too, get a bit uncomfortable with a lot of clutter and prefer things orderly, but it's not always possible to make progress with things tucked away!

I am so happy for you and your eyes. It is amazing how that can affect all we do. I am going to the eye doctor, today.

I think shows tend to go in cycles for what is sold - one year there was so much wool being sold the next year barely any. Glad you can have your next eye surgery soon and then you will be done with it and see normally again.Karen - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893619710941204763.post-73233511305305295232017-12-01T12:50:40.731+00:002017-12-01T12:50:40.731+00:00I did think about going to Harrogate, but I decide...I did think about going to Harrogate, but I decided against it.
