Where?

I really don’t know where the last week has gone… it has been so busy in my little home. It has been a week of highs and lows… a horrible head cold, and exploding lemonade bottle, a dead and dying washing machine just to name a few of the low points but really I want to focus on the highs! We bought a new washing machine and I love it(as much as you can love a washing machine…Lol) It’s a front loader this time and it seems to wash the clothes much better than my old one. Tuesday(yes I know it’s now Friday) we had our Kindred Heart Stitchers day out at Michelle’s. ? and ? the other two girls who shall remain nameless went shopping with out me… and bought lot’s of lovely things that I am sure would look much nicer at my place :OP Anyway being that it’s Valentines day this month our theme was ‘hearts’. My Mum made a cute wooden heart decorated with a quote and a bit of bling, on the left is her finish for last month a silver tray repurposed to hold a photo… isn’t it lovely?

I need to stop here… my teenagers are away at Youth camp and I am on milking duty for the weekend… DH is in town still so that leaves me to get the cows in…

Until next time…

Roses

Happy Valentines Day!… Hope you are having a wonderful day… I received these lovely flowers from my husband this morning :OD And in return I am cooking a roast lamb for dinner!

I am happily appliquéing away on my Dresden plates…

I found this pretty pin dot fabric(the background fabric) in my stash and promptly ordered some more, I think it is perfect! And I have finished the binding on this free BOM Stitchery from Gail Pan Designs…

The weather this summer has been weird… it has rained quite a lot… and hasn’t been the warmest of summers… we are still sort of waiting for summer to come…today is warm though… and the garden is loving it… Just look at our pumpkin patch…

I have started adding more plants to encourage the bees to come and visit…

Stefan has started building a frame for the swing seat he made when we were at our old house (see my profile photo) it will be nice to sit and relax in it again…

I came across this website the other day and thought others might be interested too… I know I will be ordering a couple of things from HERE

This post has become rather disjointed but before I sign off… What do you think of the photo’s? I am trying out several new(to me) free photo editing sites… I am curious do you have a favourite you use?

Keep smiling…
