So far I have had the perfect birthday weekend.
Last night hubby and I went to see Bear Grylls Live.
We had the best seats in the house. I have always admired Bear, aside from the fact I would happily run off with him (just joking if you are reading this Matt! not really joking) , he is just a really nice guy and has achieved so much in his life.
This morning I was bought breakfast in bed by my little girl, then I got to have second breakfast with my wonderful family.
Today was spent at a wonderful and completely inspiring free-machining workshop at Hope and Elvis. I had a blast and made loads of things.
This is part of it. The plan is to make a big family quilt, showing things from our family life.
Our back garden, complete with chicken.
The duck-ducks
On returning home, I found that my husband had laid out a lovely birthday tea and his old school friend who is visiting had baked me a cake. They have now disappeared off to the pub, so I am going to settle down with a blanket, birthday cake, a pot of tea and the new Twilight film (shhh Twilight is one of my guilty pleasures).
Tomorrow we have a family picnic planned.
In the words of Rapunzel in Tangled 'This is the BEST DAY EVER!'
Happy Birthday!! Love your free motion sewing - whenever I try to draw with my sewing machine it never looks anything like what I see in my mind lol, so well done :). The cake looks yummy too - enjoy the rest of your day & weekend.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. I too love the free motion sewing. Don't know if that was the actually cake, if so, lovely.

WOW! I LOVE your creations, I don't think that is very easy to do on a machine, but I love your images...your family, the washing in the garden and the ducks of course!
What a wonderful idea to create a family quilt...a future heirloom.
