Birthday Gifts

Hello. Do you remember me? I have lots to share from the last couple of months.
Now Easter is over I plan to start blogging again on a regular basis. Wish me luck!
I belong to a sewing group called Material Girls. When it was my birthday (in February) each 
of the girls made me a special 'pink' gift.


This pretty needlecase was made by Annie ... love the stitchery.


Christine made this lovely pouch with pretty suffolk puffs on the front.


Another lovely pouch from Lyndy ... I think the pattern was in a Handmade magazine.


Rosemary made me this cute mug holder ...


with lovely pink butterflies.

 
And Vicki made me this wonderful apron ... 

 
with gorgeous machine embroidery

 
... isn't she clever?


Oliver Henry 'helped' take these photos.


This one looks like he's doing a squirrel impersonation!


Bye 'til next time.

  16. Welcome back! I've missed you.

    I love your pink presents, especially the one with the suffolk puffs on it. How are those different from yo-yo's? I thought, "At last, a use for yo-yo's that I like" only to find out they're something else. lol

    I hope you're all well now.
