Bunnies, Carrots and a Birthday

 

Here's a few more of the little designs I stitched during March.

Spring Hare Etching by Cecelia Turner of Heart in Hand Needlearts, from the Spring 2020 Punch Needle and Primitive Stitching magazine. I used Classic Colourworks Sticks and Twigs and Blushing Beauty on 28 count grey jobelan fabric.

                                                  

Tilda fabric and Lady Dot Creates Ballerina chenille trim for the finishing.

This little carrot design is a free design by Christina from Whilst Iris Naps, and can be found here

I have stitched the bunnies by Christina as well, and they are in the "to be finished" basket, along with a couple of recent Santa Sunday and Merry Monday projects completed recently.

Back on the 9th April, I celebrated another birthday and this year I was able to be with my friends and family. Last year we were in our little lock down bubble of just Glenn, Hannah and I, and even though I had a lovely day, this year to being able to celebrate with friends and family made me so happy.  

The wonderful ladies I work with surprised me with a delicious morning tea, and there was cake too!

My cousin Donna and her boyfriend Jess came to stay with us for the night so it was good to catch up with them. Donna made this yummy spiced pear cake for our dessert.

On Saturday evening I'd invited my family and a few friends to go out to dinner with us to our favourite local restaurant, Saffron, and it was absolutely delicious. 

I'm so very grateful for the birthday messages, texts, phone calls and visits, and the lovely presents I received, a totally wonderful weekend!

See you soon x
