PORTRAIT OF A BUDGIE AS A YOUNG MAN

I plan to present this 'Portrait of a Budgie as a Young Man' to 'Jayne Mansfield'  in the Budgerigar Competition this Saturday at Haggerston Hall. 

He is crocheted out of hand dyed linen. 

While working on him, I thought how lovely it would be to have a husband who loved colour as much as male birds do

JAYNE MANSFIELD STILL WAITING!

Sadly, as Louise was making this Budgie, it died. These things do happen. She laid it out in a way that she does best. This Budgie's gone to heaven.

She will still present it to Jayne Mansfield.

(Sorry, please read the blog two down, if you haven't a clue what the budgie stuff is about)

UNITED WE STAND!

I'd nearly finished my budgie portrait and not in the whole of Prick Your Finger could I find the one black sequin I needed for his eye. 

So, instead of wasting a bus fare into town, I called Barley at Fabrications, your other local Haberdashery over on Broadway Market, and she gave me three black sequins, just in case I lost one on the way home, which I did, and I still have one spare.

Haberdashery in East London is united. If PYF doesn't have what you need, then Barley probably has.  

I teach at Fabrications, and we have lots of mutual friends.  If all businesses worked together like we do, everything would be so much easier.
