Then a few chores were done on a windy day.
The sun is shining and the garden is coming to life.
The postman was kept busy this week too.
I got some lovely presents from Cathy. Some very pretty green cotton to make myself a dish cloth - I'm thinking cherries this time. And some adorable paper doll fabric which I just love. I'll have to think of something special to use it for. Thanks so much Cathy it was a really lovely, thoughtful surprise.
And I received two swap parcels.........
My wonderful autumn quilt from Julie W arrived this week. It has such amazing colours in it and such vibrancy.
I just love the back fabric and it even has a rod holder attached so it can be hung - I think it will be great for Halloween. Thanks so much Julie - your work is fantastic.
And another special parcel arrived from the lovely Jade. Look at all these goodies for the Scrap Swap.
Some cute bits and pieces for the girls and a fab little squirrel purse for me!
But just check out these lovelies...
Chloe brought them to me while I was in bed the next morning to tell me which ones she and Lucinda had decided were 'theirs'!!
I have yet to have a really good play with these - there are some really decent size 'scraps' amongst each little pile - thanks for your generosity Jade.
And to top it all off - guess who got shoes!!!
Now she can get outside...
and throw the ball ...
and chase poor Ella!!
Life is good here - have a great week!
