I have been very lucky recently. A couple of weeks ago I won this beautiful yoyo wreath for Mother's day that
Nathalie made. It arrived on a day I really needed some cheering up, thank you!
I had a very nice coffee break the other day, sitting out in the sun enjoying the Askinosie chocolate Nathalie enclosed, I also took the time to read the facts about it and learned that it has 65 times more antioxidants than broccoli!
And it is ecological and fair trade. So you people that can get your hands on this goodness, eat as much as you can if you want to live long! The trims were very much appreciated too, of course! I have borrowed Nathalie's beautiful photo of the wreath, (hope you don't mind!), I wish I had a red wall like that! You can find more great shots of the wreath (and the sweetest tutus!) at Nathalie's
blog!
This is a sneak peak of the little quilt I made for Lesley
Moogsmum (as you can see from the monogram) for the
Lucy Locket swap, I am very happy to have finished it. At one point I thought I wouldn't be able to make anything, after spending weeks making custom work I felt overwhelmed by the opportunity to make whatever I felt like. I decided to take a deep breath and play with fabrics, I hope Lesley will like the result! If anyone would think of asking: Yes, I think the sofa makes a great pin cushion, I have at least five pincushions but this is so practical! T does not agree...

Oh! I never find a stable, large enough pin cusion. Sofas you said?? Hm. I think my DH will go totally nuts if I start to use our sofas for that. ;-)
Ooooh - I'm very excited now!! The sneaky peak of your mini-quilt is gorgeous....can't wait to see it in real life :)
The yoyo wreath is so pretty and such a lovely idea. Good to know chocolate is better for you than broccoli! Just as I always suspected ;)

The wreath is so happy looking! Love the peek at your mini quilt. Hope we get to see the whole thing soon.
I use the arm of the sofa as a pin cushion too!
What a pretty wreath... and so pleased to hear chocolate is good for us! Looking forward to seeing all of Lesley's quilt.
Glad to know I'm not the only one using the arm of the sofa as a pin cushion! I have stopped now that the baby is mobile though lol
The wreath is very cute! Lucky you.
I love the 'tease' peek of your quilt! Can't wait to see the whole thing!
The quilt from your swap partner is cute. It'll look great on your sewing room wall. Neat idea to use children's art work.
