Mel's Birthday gifts.....

Mel's Birthday......

I made these gifts for Mel (DIL) she loves monkeys so that was an easy choice for fabric.....
unfortunately she is spending a lot of time in hospital so I thought toiletry and laundry bags would be just the thing.....
Mel is not well at all as she has lung cancer so are thoughts and love are with her......



We also gave her bright pretty flowers to try to brighten her day.....

Just random stuff.....


We had a busy day on Thursday..... 
Doctor's appointments, shopping and lunch.....

I decided to buy myself a little gift.....
out with the old and in with the new, it has little Swarovski crystals where the numbers should be .....
adds a lovely sparkle to the time.....


Yummie Country Omelette ......


When we arrived home there was a parcel waiting for me....
