Hi everyone. It is a very miserable rainy Monday here! We are so glad we got a lot of packing done before the rainy weather came in. Still it's great weather for stitching. Sometimes people ask me how I think of my designs and when I tell them they often look at me a little strangely when I say they present themselves and will not go away until I have drawn and stitched them. So it was with this little girl that I have named "Mistlemouse". She has nagged and nagged me and even though I had a gazillion other things I have needed to be doing..she would not leave me in peace. So here she is.
I started to relax when she was created and stitched but then she told me she likes a whole lot of other Christmas things as well (groan) as Plum pudding, so I guess "Mistlemouse"and I are not finished yet. Watch this space. I am back to the sketch pad and pencil with a very persist little mouse whispering in my ear.
My Mother in Law celebrated her 80th Birthday last week and my family had a little morning tea for her on Sunday. My Daughter made another yummy Kit Kat cake only this one was strawberry cake with lovely pink & white marshmallows.
Blowing out the candles.
Master C loves a party....Wow! Look at that cake!
Master L. just loves a cupcake or two....
I hope your Queen's Birthday long weekend saw you doing something you enjoy.
