Life Begins!

at 40 so they say…..it was my 40th birthday yesterday and I had a nice day spent with friends and family….here are pictures of the gifts I received.

A framed photo and notebook from Martha, some passion fruit shower gel and body spray and a trinket tray with roses on the bottom from Isaac…he chose it himself after smelling every one in Boots…lol and a Dove gift set from my friend Gail.

Lovely gifts from my friends…the choccie and wine didn't last very long!

Mum and Dad gave me money to take to the stitching show at Harrogate but wanted me to have something to open….a lovely rosebud mug and coaster and tin (perfect for a packet of digestive biscuits), also some fairy lights to wrap around my bedstead…

From Michelle I received this lovely pinkeep (gorgeous isn't it), a Miss Mary Mac needle case chart and some hand dyed linen…thank you Michelle 

From Sally this dainty pillow with my year of birth on it….just perfect..thank you Sally.

I also received money from my grandparents for the Harrogate fund and lots of lovely cards and messages too.

Stitching….I have finished and made up my giveaway piece…it closes tomorrow so if you haven't entered yet…you can here. I have also started a new piece which is for Martha’s birthday (or Christmas if it isn't done my mid November), it’s Princess Parade by CCN…such girly colours.

I have been to my first tutorial this evening, it was great to spend time discussing subjects in depth…I am so going to enjoy this module.

Time to head to the land of nod now….night night!
