OK, first off, I apologise for the awful alliteration! But my ladies at this afternoon's class did make some perfect pincushions, and they are mostly chickens, and the instructions did originate from Plum, so I feel I am justified!!!! (Thank you Plum)
The plan was that we would all make chickens, but there are always some who play up, so two made mice instead!
The ladies also brought their 'homework' from last month - we always hold a show and tell session!
And the lovely ladies at the museum started my birthday celebrations with a lovely surprise cake - ginger cake, I'm trying not to eat cake, but when your birthday is one of those 'oh' ones, and you manage to celebrate over a week, that's clearly not going to work very well! I took one photo, but then I felt the urge to, urm, tidy up the cake!!!!
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
but you HAVE to have cake when it is your birthday xx
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great time was had by all, fabric and cake it doesn't get much better than that!
