New Stash & some Abby pics

I just loved several of the new Blackbird Designs charts so couldn't resist adding a few to my shopping cart.

I also decided to join an auto club for the new series.The threads are just gorgeous for the first pattern, all my favourite blues.  I'll be getting this underway this week sometime.

Hannah and I spent some time at my parents over the weekend and we got to have some fun with the puppy, Abby Rose.  She is a darling wee pup, and is bringing so much joy to my parents and niece Zoe.

She was in need of a good bath as she'd been "helping" my Dad out in the garden.

Such a cutie pie xxx

Bits & Pieces

Today's post is bit of a round up from the past few weeks:

The next kit in the Friends Stitching Circle Club from the Silver Needle arrived recently - isn't it just lovely and the little tray is so sweet, will be definitely starting this soon!

We had another weekend stay at our favourite beach spot late February.

Another awesome weekend with our family and friends!

I enjoyed spending the afternoon in my kitchen one wet Saturday stocking up for lunch box treats:

Blueberry and choc chop muffins, Double Chocolate Brownie, Caramel Banana Loaf, and Chocolate Mint Slice all go down well in our house.

Lots of swimming has been on the agenda for Hannah as she has moved up this year into the swimming squad group.

My dear friend Clare recently celebrated a special birthday so Kath, Clare, Clare's daughter and I went out the lunch at one of the local cafes, I so enjoy our catch ups.

Can you believe another special young lady in my life recently turned 16! Yes, that's right, my niece Zoe turned 16 years old on Tuesday.

Zoe got an extra special and super, super cute birthday present - meet Abby, a mini Schnauzer puppy.

Oh my, she is so adorable and just so lovely.

It's been quite a few years since Zoe had a pet dog, so she is just over the moon with the new addition to their household. Lots of fun adventures ahead I'm sure.

See you soon xx
