Birthday Boy

My 'little' boy is 26 today

I

I have no idea how they go from this to 6'4", but I know it happens in the blink of an eye, to all you mums of little ones out there enjoy every day with them.


He got a handmade card this year. 


This morning he put in a request for 'birthday brownies" it's really good to know he's not to old for them but then who is? 

Bye for now

Judith's Birthday

Today is my pen-pals birthday, well I say pen-pal that's how we started out a good few years ago now, but we hare much more than that, we have contact nearly every day, but we still put pen to paper. Judith has always been there for me but this last year she has really pulled out all the stops and I am and will be forever grateful and blessed to have her as my friend, these are the little things I made for her to go with the bought presents.


Applique  card I made her, the watering can and he heart is idea is from the quilt I want to start making later this year, but this is my own version I had to draw it to get it to fit  the card, drawing isn't my strong point, I'm amazed when I manage basic shapes.


This is something I stitching a little while ago, 


I turned it into a notebook cover,


The inside

Plus I popped in a little tissue case, I have a feeling I will be making a few of these.

Happy Birthday Judith, I love you my dear friend. x

Bye fore now

Colours of a butterfly

My little colours of a butterfly wall hanging is very nearly finished, all I have do is put something on the back , when I get something to hang it with.

It's the first time I have really designed something myself, it changed a few times as I went along, I tried to fit in a few different things, cross stitch, applique,patchwork and for want of a better word rustic hand quilting, some might call it not very even hand quilting but I'm going with rustic, I feel like being kind to myself.

I am looking forward to when it's up in my sewing room.

I off to play with a picture of it and make it the header of the blog, that is if I can get it to look right.

Bye for now
