I have had a big week working hard on our special project mentioned last week…I can’t wait to collapse into my chair at night with the kids tucked up in bed to do some stitching…its so relaxing after a big day at the computer. I have been really enjoying a needleturn project I have been working slowly on for the past couple of months and I am onto the last piece of the final border. I shall show you some peeks soon, I promise..

Monday was my birthday, do birthdays get you down? the years seem to be going by so quickly… I feel like I am missing out on things as they fly by…I was spoilt with breakfast in bed with a trashy magazine included, many lovely phone calls, a nice lunch out and then #2 Tessie baked me a cake to have after dinner. I was even allowed to borrow miss Matilda’s Barbie candle to have on my cake! Rohan took the girls to the antique store to find some special goodies for me -

remember after going to Jane’s Gathering last year I said I was going to collect these

I must away and do some work on my block for this ‘special project’ I keep mentioning. I have been so busy formatting everyone’s elses patterns I havent even started. At least I got the design done last night.. want a peek?  oh okay
