First Block Started

Good Morning and welcome to another week. I hope every one had a lovely weekend. Mine was very quiet finishing with a visit from this little chappy and his cute sister.
Showing us his new recently learnt skills in the pool which was interrupted by a huge storm....my garden is smiling as are my newly planted lillies gifted by my friend Cathy.

Sewing wise I have completed all the hexies needed to finish Red Fancies although I am not sure whether I need to add some half hexies along the top to even off the top and bottom edges....hubby says yes. Me I like the look....but you know how it is when someone makes a comment and then you wonder..hhmmm???
So I am still thinking about that one.

I have however begun "that project" with 2 blocks under construction. Here is a sneaky.
Ohh! I love the beginning of new projects!!!
I also have some show & tell from our friend Joy who I am excited to tell you now has her own blog called
Joyful Stitching. I am sure she would love to hear from you and give her any hints and help on our blogging world. Joy bought my Alphabet Noel and has made this lovely placemat using the letters which just happen to spell her name as well.
The bottom stitchery is a free little design Joy recieved from me when she bought another pattern of mine.
I love all the gingies together. Thanks for sharing Joy.

Today my thoughts and prayers go out to all those in our Defence Forces who have defended our Country, gone to the aid of other nations, paid the ultimate price, lost loved ones or suffered as a result of war.
Blessings to all,
Michelle xxx
