We had a lovely time celebrating

Firstly I would like to thank everyone for all the comments and congratulations we received on the occasion of our Silver Wedding and my birthday, they were all really appreciated.

We had a lovely day and we were blessed with beautiful weather, as far as I can remember it is always gorgeous weather on our Wedding Anniversary.

We celebrated at a beautiful Country House Hotel in the Lake District, once for the Anniversary and returning two days later for my birthday!

First the dessert because they are always my favourite! For the birthday meal I chose steak and chips for my main course and it was delicious!

DH had duck for the main course

I had soup for starters and DH had salmon

Before I left for the holiday I was treated to an unexpected surprise in the post from my friend Jill who sent me this lovely birthday gift, I was totally blown away by her generosity, in fact I skipped around all day! Jill made this beautiful pillow and enclosed some gorgeous goldwork threads, DMC threads and a handmade marking pin.

Thankyou so much Jill I really appreciate everything.

Stitching news

I had every intention of stitching on my HAED Gothic Rose but unfortunately did not get much stitching done on that, however I did get quite a bit of stitching done on the three private exchanges that I am currently working on, although they are not finished yet.

I also sent out the Mirabilia Pattern to Kim that she won on my blog giveaway and I decided to put in this little surprise pinkeep for her daughter.

Thankyou for the ecard Kim that was very thoughtful of you!

The pattern is from Casa Mia

Happy stitching everyone and thankyou for visiting!
