Late Easter cheer!

I know it's a bit late but I loved my Easter tree this year. Bright and cheerful and just what was needed! Or maybe that was the thought of chocolate!

Exactly!

Do you remember the old B.S.A.s?

Last night I went on my very first bike ride of the year.  Despite my gel seat I knew within 5 yards that I was going to get 'biker's bum'. It feels like I may never walk properly again!

A quick wip!

Just because I only have a million works in progress I decided to start a new one. I am sewing them into strips of ten squares before I sew them together. This is the start with four strips. I love random but it does take a little planning!

Hello!

I will ignore the fact that I have just been missing from Blogland for an absolute age and am just going to go straight into the long over due post of my latest swap. I was so lucky to have been partnered with the lovely LindyLaine for the 'Send a little love Swap' arranged by Tracy over at Mad about Bags blog. I had some lovely gifts sent to me. I have wanted to make a wrist pin cushion for an absolute age but never got round to it.  Look at the lovely neat blanket stitch on this one! Mine would not have looked like that!

  These pretty peg magnets are already pinning important notes to my fridge.

 I love lighting candles but these are just too pretty to use!

 My new snuggly hot water bottle.  It is just so soft and lovely! With the temperatures dropping at the end of this week I may even get chance to use it again this season!

A pretty bracelet that looks very delicate and pretty when on.

Any evidence of sweet things quickly disappeared I'm afraid and the camera didn't even have chance to click! Thank you so very much for my lovely, lovely gifts and for being a wonderful swap partner.

Happy birthday Dad

Not a day goes by Dad, but you know that xx
