I am a very lucky girl this week for two reasons:
Number 1 - Chicago baby!
A few months ago, I was very lucky to be selected to be one of six paediatric specialists from the UK to be sponsored to travel across the Atlantic to the windy city of Chicago to attend the biggest paediatric audiology conference in the world. And finally, the time is now! I am so excited to make my first ever trip to America (I know, I know, I'm in the minority as almost everyone has been to the States before) and I'm even more excited knowing that there's a pretty good chance it will snow whilst I'm there! I don't think there is likely to be anywhere that will get me in the Christmas spirit more than going to America two weeks before the big day; I can't wait to see the snow, the Christmas lights as well as the Willis (Sears) Tower and am already planning a trip down the river too to get some great views of the skyline. It's such a great opportunity and I can't believe I was lucky enough to be chosen.
Number 2 - A Christmas gift from DMC Creative World
This week I was contacted by DMC Creative World who had seen my myboshi review, and wondered if I would like some samples of their other products to review. What answer could there be other than yes please!
Today, the samples arrived and I am very excited! Here they are:
Cottons, Merinos, wools and patterns - yes, Christmas has definitely come early!
And these Woolly merino wools are some of the softest yarns I have squeezed:
These unusual aspen wools have got scarf written all over them:
DMC were also kind enough to send me a little inspiration for these beautiful yarns; three of their pattern books:
Unfortunately with my trip I'm going to have to wait for a few days before I can really get my hands on these, but it's definitely going to be something for me to look forward to when I get back, and to try and squish in before Christmas - exciting times :D xxx
