Last week of February......

Summer is supposed to finish now.... hopefully cooling down lots.....

End of February is also a time I get spoilt......

Isn't this a fun panel?  and it arrived with some labels, buttons and a note pad....

As well as this gorgeous zippy pouch hand-made in Queensland (see the zip pulls) from Shez....

And then this lovely artist drawn card (of Frangipani's from my garden) with fabric and ribbon holders as well as a special Needleholder which will go immediately to my Sashiko work bag. Specially made and drawn by Michelle....

Both very special people to me and I love their thoughtful and beautifully made gifts.

There may have been cakes and flowers and dinner etc aswell....

Then of course lots of visits, calls and messages and I love hearing from special friends and family.

I worked on my Cuddle Hearts - I cut up a lot of my smaller pieces of flannel and sewed them up.  These Cuddle Hearts are in sets of 3 (I made 25 sets) go to the Premmie baby units at the hospital.  Mum keeps one on her and passes it to baby so he/she gets the smell of mum.  Rather a sweet idea and I was pleased to find a use for some of that flannel.

I concentrated on this next Caswell block, lots of little pieces to needleturn.  Marina had made a note in the pattern that she was leaving out some leaves in between the 2 birds at the top.  I agreed they weren't needed so left them out too...  

That is 8/30 blocks done!

Some rows have been added to the next KOGO crochet blanket.  I was given a bundle of different variegated left over balls of yarn.... I wasn't sure how it would look together but it's working out quite fun....  I'll keep going....

That's my week, 

Righto, Gotto Go.... out today ... Hope you have a lovely weekend....xx
