Happy Wednesday and yay, it's a short week coming up as the Easter break starts on Friday.
Before I chat about my latest stitching finish, I'd just like to take the time to say thank you for the comments left here on my blog, lots of kind words and encouragement - it means so much to hear from you. I've had this blog for nearly 17 years and I still enjoy taking the time to pop up a post every now and then with my stitching, books and other happenings. It's quite fun to go back in the archives and check out dates we did things around the house, trips we took, when I started a particular project, etc.
This little cutie pillow is part of the Spring freebie by Christina Whilst Iris Naps. I stitched both charts last year but didn't get this one made up. You can find it here.
The fabric was a piece of random hand dyed fabric I found in my stash and I'm pretty sure I used the recommended thread colours. The chenille trim is by DMC.
On Saturday 9th April I celebrated my birthday and at work on Friday, my lovely staff put on morning tea for me. I work with the nicest people!
Saturday morning of my birthday, Hannah and I enjoyed going out to one of the local cafes, coffee for me, iced chocolate for Hannah, and a browse in the bookshop and sewing shop. Then we'd invited a few friends and family to come for dinner. It was so good to see everyone as we've all been staying close to home and work during this latest Covid outbreak. A few glasses of bubbles were enjoyed!
On Sunday evening, Hannah and I went to to see the latest Fantastic Beasts movie, the Secrets of Dumbledore, which we both really liked. We hadn't been to the movies in ages so it felt really good to be able to see a movie on the big screen.
See you soon x

Happy Birthday for last Saturday Katrina. So nice to celebrate with family and friends.
Have a great Easter.
Belated Birthday Wishes Katrina - gosh that morning tea looks so yummy!!! How wonderful that they put that on for you.
I think it was last year when you showed the pillow you had stitched & the link to the free pattern. I copied it off & my friend stitched it up for me in exchange for some sewing I did for her. I've made mine up this Easter too & I love it but I especially love the colours in yours. Enjoy your Easter Break xx
Yours was one of the first blogs I remember seeing your wedding pictures and Hannah as a newborn. Thank you for all your wonderful pictures, I love seeing your makes and especially your travels. I would love to visit New Zealand one day so they give me inspiration.

I only found you a few years ago - I think first here and then on Instagram- glad you are still blogging, love to see your stitching and travel photos. Looks like you had a nice birthday and love your bunny pillow.
