Today, stitching was at my place. With many away we were a very small group but as always enjoyed each other's company, had a laugh and actually did some stitching.
In line with my philosophy to use all that I have (nothing is considered tooo SPECIAL) pretty cups got their turn at holding our cuppas......after all if time with dear friends is not a special occasion I don't know what is!
I love lemon anything and so I topped freshly baked cupcakes with lemon icing and indulged in a little early Easter treat for good measure.
I worked away on my next postcard stitchery....sorry not much to see yet!
The day sped by as they always seem to do when you are in good company.
My little pile of I Spy hearts is growing. They are so enjoyable to stitch.....even with two of each.
My plan is to have a goodly pile to show when next my eldest Granddaughter visits.....she will be monitoring my progress very closely lol! So can't be seen to be slacking off!
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xx
Nothing like a progress monitor to keep you on track!! Lovely hearts ans the postcard is looking good. Yummy treats for your stitching day.
