My eldest son turned 40 on Sunday.... no major celebration as they are in UK still under lockdown but his siblings and us did manage a group video, and there was cake and fun to be had.
Then I had a birthday on Tuesday.... and had a lovely day sewing with friends... there was cake, and flowers, lots of phone calls and messages... and gifts...
Michelle sent me this lovely bag..... she always finds just the right fabrics and design for me to love....
and a gorgeous selection of hand made cards....
there were other bits and pieces to go in the bag... the M&M's didn't stay in the tin too long! Gorgeous hand made card.
Shez sent me this lovely table topper....
with a sweet Christmas pattern and some of my favourite thread and a gorgeous handmade card..
I really do love a walk and paddle in the sea and sand in my toes...
I recieved a couple of mixed bunches of flowers and they play together so prettily...
.. and a bunch of whites and greens which are so pretty... the lilies are not yet opened so they will last well....
I have sortof been keeping up with the little embroideries from Crab Apple Hill
I have to admit the most fun of it is the banter and chat with a few others doing it too.... I am also learning a few new stitches - flystitch and feather stitch above are new ones for me. I do love embroidery but am not very patient doing it.
My Hubz had a finish this week...
HMS Victory has been in progress a few years as he does not get a lot of time to play
fiddly work and a lot of fiddly details to do as well as the painting and tying of tiny knots etc...
I keep saying he would be better at embroidery than me as he is more patient but he is not interested...
Righto, Gotto Go..... have a lovely weekend....
Happy birthday..sounds like the perfect way to spend your special day. Hubs has done a great job on the model.
