I'm so late with my posting but better late than never I guess.
My g/son Clayton had his 13th Birthday on the 29th March so naturally we went to see him to enjoy his family celebration.
Here is Clayton with his Mum (our Liz)......its a very unusual photo as Liz is normally messing about but it was Clayton who messed around this time.
We had a really fabulous meal and I would love to tell you what it was but I have forgotten what Liz called it, chicken with roast pumpkin salad is fairly close....... she is a great cook, not sure where she gets that from to be honest.
I also forgot to put this photo on as well, Teresa gave me this lovely gift from her "Lets Get Stitched" holiday in SA, thanks so much Teresa.
Didn't forget this part of the post though, our online group "Friends in Stitching" had a Natalie Bird themed swap and Dawnie sent this gift to me.
A lovely table runner, love the fabrics and she put so much work into it too.
Its great...... Thank you Dawnie.
Fiona was my other partner and this is what I sent her.
A wall hanging by Natalie Bird called "Stitchers Priority" I think I might have to make one for myself.
Of course I had to put in one of my famous "Friendship Tags"
Now the worst thing that can happen to a stitcher....... yep I broke my glasses, I have been to the optometrist and new ones will be coming soon but I'm trying to use my old pair and the broken pair but I'm getting a headache ...... yes I know I should stop but there is just so much to do and its my relaxation so I won't be stopping any time soon that's for sure.
Sadly for all of you there will be more Tassie photos to come sometime soon.
