Keeping with the Spring theme....

Keeping with the Spring theme .... i found another little item i made, quite a few years ago, i can't remember nicely but i think it is one of Di van Niekerk's embroidery patterns i purchased a couple of years ago. Once i'd done the embroidery i pasted it onto a little wooden box that i'd painted. oh yes, i found the broom in a craft shop and sewed that on for extra effect!!! If you have time and you love embroidery please see her website, she has THE most beautiful patterns and ideas - such a pleasure to visit.

Spring time...

1st September = Spring Day in SA - YIPEEEEEEEEEE!!!

I'm so glad winter is over - time for long glorius days doing the hobbies and crafts you love...

I found a few pics of things i did last year, that i hadn't published yet, so here goes, hope you like...

Here another dresden i put on a brown Woolworths bag.

I made a food-covering-net, and made the edging with a matching bias binding. The topping is white felt and i made the 100's & 1000's with coloured beads.

Many tissue pouches - i love making them.

A small hanging quilt.

My Birthday (41st)

My 41st birthday is one i won't forget, having just buried Dad 2 days before. I've read before that no matter what the relationship you had with your parents, you will miss them once they have gone! I think this is true. Take a bit of time out and let them know how much you love them.....

Anyway, i had a nice quiet birthday - i did go to work all day, and my clever daughters provided me with an amazing starter for dinner, thank you girls. And for spoiling me with lovely gifts. I got this stunning little chest from my sister...too cute
