Tomorrow or today in Australia is the birthday of a fantastic lady who I'm so pleased to call a very good friend . This is a special birthday so I wanted a special present for her - for weeks I racked my little brain thinking of what I could make for her and this is what I came up with
I have never done any stitching like this before so I'd like to say thank you to Maree for answering all my dumb stitchery questions even though she didn't have a clue what I was doing. The circles are Kaffe Fassett with raw edge applique..
I've also finished a couple of rabbits, first is Sally who loves strawberries
and Patsy who is always game for a laugh , hence the wonky ears
Oh , you want to know who my meet up was with , you thought I'd forgotten didn't you -- well the two lovely ladies were Mrs Locket and Mrs Sarah's House . Hopefully we'll be able to meet up again soon girls .
Did you get your 10 points?
Now I'm off to play with these --- Rowan luxury cotton DK at only £1.39 a ball. How could I resist such a bargain ???

Where where where did you get the Rowan DK??? I've started crochet and am going through yarn like it's going out of fashion. We live on a fairly direct route to the Rowan workshop at Holmfirth, and am considering a run out there.... Still haven't managed to catch up with you via FB, but will soon! Kim xx
It is always fun to meet other bloggers. Your stitchery looks wonderful and it is always great to receive handmade.
Love your stitchery for your friend! I know she will treasure it too. And your bunnies! Oh my they are so adorable. I love their sweaters! x
Lisa! You are my sweet friend! Thank you again for my lovely gift! And that necklace is so amazing! I can't believe you made it! Are you having a break for long?
