Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my birthday and I wanted to share with you all the gorgeous gifts I received from my wonderful stitching friends.

The first gift is from Jane, which included ribbon, ric rac and blue evenweave fabric, which I already know what I am going to use it for, heart fabric and in the little packet some gorgeous buttons and charms. Thank you so very much Jane, it is all gorgeous and can't wait to use it.


The next gift is from Sally, a beautifully stitched and finished ornament which I believe translated is about friendship. Thank you so very much Sally I love it and your friendship very much.

Next up is this gorgeous package from Elaine. A design by L*K Coffee Crazy which is beautifully stitched and finished which included some gorgeous scissors, lovely threads, some made with love charms and Starbucks coffee. Thank you so much Elaine - I love it all.

Here is a close up of the threads, charm and scissors, which I absolute love. The colours are gorgeous and so me lol.


Finally and by no means last, I won Becka's birthday giveaway and this is what I received. Some lovely gingham fabric, metallic threads and red and green ric rac and two Malters Easter Rabbit chocolates which my two boys have already whipped away. Thank you so much Becka. I
am looking forward to using these items in my Christmas ornaments.


I can't express my gratitude enough to you all for the unexpected but gorgeous birthday gifts. Thank you so much for spoiling me and making my birthday extra special.

I'll be back later in the week with a stitching finish, which may even be finish finished and a new start, my SAL with Angela.

Until next time, happy stitching

WOW! WOW! WOW!

That is the only way I can think of to describe the absolutely stunning gift I received from my stitching sister, Angela. Angela had emailed me to let me know that my birthday gift was on it's way. I certainly wasn't expecting it to arrive so quickly. I emailed Angela to let her know it had arrived and I was being a good girl and had put it to one side until my birthday. Angela emailed me and told me to open it. Yay! This is the beauty I found inside. Angela stitched this design for me as we both share a love of reading and already knew I loved the design, especially since she had previously asked if I wanted to stitch it along with her later in the year, sneaky do you not think?

This is the inside of the box together with the lovely book mark she also sent along with a couple of books that have already been taken upstairs ready to be read.



Thank you Angela. I will treasure it and your friendship forever.

Happy Birthday



This is the birthday card I made for my eldest son who is 11 today (Happy Birthday darling). So far he has had a very good day so far with lots of presents, cash and game cards to spend so he is one very happy bunny. We're going bowling later so that should be good.

Whatever the weather, enjoy your stitching
