We've had the beetles playing "Will You still Need me, will you still feed me?" I turned 64..
There were flowers
and fabric.... this is one metre of fabric but it has 4 different fat quarters printed
Its very hard to show all the work that has gone into this scroll from Michelle....
It's full of stitching with special meaning....
I would never have the imagination for something like this so I feel very privileged....
Also included was this nifty little ring - I have to admit I needed some help working out what it was for
there was a question asked why M sent me a knuckle duster....
It is to use to catch yarn when you crochet to stop it twisting up....
it works
balloons and chocolate arrived....
Shez visited Brisbane and so kindly brought with her one of her amazing clutches.... they are just the perfect size to hold phone, glasses and the all necessary piece of plastic....
A bunch of these roses were gifted...
and lovely to hear from friends and family from all over
Lunch and movies enjoyed. We watched Banshees of Inisherin. I laughed, I cried, I was surprised.
Righto, Gotto Go and enjoy the weekend...
Beautiful flowers and so glad you worked out the knuckle duster but let the Mister know it can do double duties lol! Shez bag is lovely. It was a pleasure to stitch the scroll for you and also glad you were spoilt by family and friends xx

I have missed a lot lately, you have so many beautiful projects made and working on, so much inspiration. I do love the rugs you made and not sure what you mean by wadding. I would love to do some rugs and any way to use what I have and make it easier, is good with me.
