On the weekends I always wake up as early as I do during the week. I'm an early riser and I so enjoy the quiet of the early morning. From Monday to Friday I'm getting ready for school and rushing to catch the train. This morning, as I often do, I was sitting at my table have a cup of coffee and catching up on what's happening in the embroidery world. Bliss.The Country Bumpkin newsletter arrived in my inbox yesterday and it was at the top of the list of things to read. I just love getting it and seeing what's going on in the inspirational world of embroidery in Australia. I often wish I lived there so I could be part of it!As I reached the bottom of the news letter, coming to Kaarin Owers' column, I was totally surprised to see that all of you - yes you,wonderful readers! - had taken time to write to her and tell her about The Unbroken Thread community! Thank you all so very, very much! I'm truly overwhelmed.

I know, I know...totally scary hair!
