My Tuesday Treasure is .....

A Treasure Chest......

for my favourite pirate who turned 5 last week


This lovely edible treasure chest was made by DD1 - I think it's wonderful

Our little Pirate lives in the UK and he was 3 last time I cuddled him.....  it really is time for another cuddle. 
I felt really bad&sad as I had promised him I would be there for his party but things didn't work out.....

(eat your heart out Johnny Depp - you can walk the plank)

Pop along to Melody's House on the Side of the Hill and see what other treasures have been found - I do love the cottages she has found this week

My little blocks are growing......

hearts......


oh - I love, love yellow daisies.....


I really should clear up the loose threads before taking pictures!!


don't you just love this cute little stitchery on a 2" square


Definitely a project where I can get lost in my Happy Place

Hope you can too!

Your little pirate is very huggable. Hope you get to cuddle him soon. Our son lives in Belgium and we are going to visit him in 4 weeks time. Can't wait- he isn't too old for hugs either!! He doesn't have any children -yet!
Your little blocks are gorgeous. The needleturn is looking good.
Have a great day.

Hey!! what a neat birthday cake my DD is always on the look out for ideas...the chocolate clock cake is becoming a bit boring after 8 yrs but that is what her kids have chosen each year... she would love this though!!!

The treasure chest cake is so clever. Such a cutie young grandson too, it is hard not being close on those special days.

Your needleturn is progressing nicely and it is a cute embroidery.
