ATC's and One Door Closes

I had yet another sleepless night - its only 7.30am and I have been up for over two hours already - two loads of laundry out and some petals drying outside - yesterday my boss asked to see me just before home time. I have been there two months out of a six month contract. To start the conversation she said 'One door closes and another one opens'.... and funnily enough rather than thinking optimistically as the phrase suggests I knew something bad was coming... sure enough, she told me my contract is going to end at the beginning of August - in fact 2 weeks after I come back from New York! So where is the door opening??? I have no idea - to me it's just another one being slammed in my face! One door closes has been running through my head all night!

Sorry - had to get that off my chest.
Now to more interesting things.. tomorrow Urchfont Manor College has its open day - if you are in the area do call in - I will be showing just two of my most recent corsets as part of the two groups I belong to and will show you some of the other exhibits tomorrow (or Monday)

Here are three more ATC's I have received - from Sheila Susanna from Spain and Gemma also from Spain So thanks very much ladies.

Here is the progress on Peaceblossom - some more pods in production and the current pile of leaves
