parcel

 A parcel arrived yesterday from Ohio, my prize from  Cyndi's giveaway,  mini charms of "Lovely" by Moda. It really is a "lovely", bright, summery design. Thank you, Cyndi!!
I love it, I plan to get some extra fat qtrs in the same fabric.

But that is not all, Cyndi put some extra goodies in the parcel!

Thank you again, Cyndi, for your generosity!!!

good start to the holiday week

After not such a great week last week, I had a lovely surprise on Monday. I received an email from Cyndi, letting me know that I am one of the winners  in a giveaway on her blog! Cyndi is sending me a charm pack of Moda fabric.
Thank you very much, Cyndi, for your time to run this giveaway and for your kindness and your generosity. I look forward to receiving my parcel from Ohio!



Well, I don't know what happened to our spring, because we are having SUMMER in this part of the world! The temperatures are in 20C + and it has been pleasant enough to sit and stitch outside until around 7pm. We do get beautiful springs some years, but I can't remember having such warm April evenings as well. The weather people have promised us more of the same well into the Easter weekend, I hope they are right!

saturday's prize

When I opened my emails this morning, I had a lovely comment from Ela on my last post, and a virtual prize on her blog! Thank you very much, Ela! Ela listed my blog as one the 7 blogs she enjoys most. I am so honoured!

                            Award:

Now, if I understand this correctly (Google translation is not always very precise), this is where I give

the same prize to 7 blogs I enjoy most. What a task!!! I could list at least 3 times that number! I wish I could, all you lovely people, but rules are rules :( , Ela said only 7.

So, in no particular order, 7 blogs I most enjoy visiting:
