 It even had a stamp on the back and has come all the way over from Nova Scotia,Canada,thankyou so very much for my beautiful post card Sheila,you are a very clever lady,the landscape is so pretty.

And we have had another visitor to our place this week,if you look closely in the hollow of the tree you will see a fox,he was quite big,he was sheltering in the hollow from the rain.

I was spoilt

Some of my goodies that i got off the children and their families for mother's day,always the chocolate and lollies go missing when its time to take pics,lol,

I love this pic of them all, they are growing up to be such lovely caring people and i am very proud of them all,so thats how i spent my mother's day.

Shabby Chic Table runner

I have made this lovely shabby chic table runner and this is the back of it,i love this floral fabric with the roses.

 It is a lovely pattern out of the Fresh Fabric Treats book that Peg had put me onto,thanks Peg as it is a lovely book.

 I have been meaning to make this one for a long time now so i am pleased that i finally got around to it.

It s called a gathered table runner designed by Sweetwater and was lovely to make.

Lots of these around at the moment

They must be running out of food and water in the bush and are coming in closer to homes to eat and drink,i love watching the kangaroos especially when they have their little babies with them.

 I have finished another Michelle Ridgway design called B is for.

 Now i found this very cute design in a country thread magazine vol 13,no 5. Now if you dont have the magazine the pattern is available at Michelle Ridgway.

 Lots of very cute stitcheries in this one.

 I used a verigated DMC thread for the stitching.

I backed the hexies with a soft green fabric with french writing on it,lol,i think it is french.
