SPRING HAS SPRUNG

THAT'S BLOOMING MARVELLOUS THAT IS.

There are some things I do enjoy in life.

I enjoy a good swapsie and I enjoy a bit of tinkering about with fabrics and thread on my sewing machine.

And so that is why I do so love joining in with Beth from Do what you love when she organises her stitched post card swaps.

This time round the theme was "Bloom"

Starting with a spot of light machine embroidery

I moved on to titchy bias strips.

With a bit of normal, if somewhat tricky stitching on the side.

And it must be said I was blooming pleased with the end result.

I hope its recipient will be too.

I have received my card in the swap, but its so gloomy today that I can't do it justice on the photographic front.

Next time.

It is really wonderful and I can't wait to show you.

I have so much to tell and show you and yet time is not my friend at the moment.

Muchos muchos day job stress and busyness as well as a considerable amount of knitting is making for a slightly scatterbrained and distracted Nora.

My bunnies are away at the moment having grandparental fun and much as I am enjoying the lay ins till 7 am every morning, some days I haven't woken up till 7.30! shock horror! I am really rather missing their shrill demanding voices and boney pokey elbows and scabby knees.

Tomorrow lunch time I shall be back to being a grumpy frazzled mum on top of every thing else.

Happy Holidays.

Love Nora xx
