one year on....

You probably didn't expect to see me today but blogging may become a little topsy turvy for a few days because stuff is going on....monday May 23rd...my birthday. OOOOO lots of presents!! I have been so good this year that I think I deserve a truck load...we shall see. Tomorrow, Saturday, tea party for moi!!! How exciting....pass the parcel, musical chairs...can't wait!! Anyhow, a whole year has gone by, seems to have passed in a whirl....except when I look at what I have made since my 20th birthday, monday being my 21st of course. I was really quite pleased when I looked through my pictures and saw all the stuff created by little old me in the past 12 months and I really felt I wanted to share. So I give you my birthday mosaic, a small selection of all the things I have made this past 12 months. Hope you like it!

in progress.....

More work for the shop, when I finally get round to it that is! These will eventually become pin cushions, honest they will as soon as I can be bothered to get the sewing machine out to back them. I have been a bit distracted today, explanation coming up but it has been a busy 24 hours. I have finished another white fragment, that's for next time, started another white fragment and been searching online for plain bindings for my new and exciting venture.

Now , my busy 24 hours.....It is my little boy's birthday today!! Now he is all grown up I would say he is even more adorable but I know that's hard to believe! We went out for a meal last night and this morning has been gifts, cards, balloons and cake. Now he has gone to the football with his dad and straight from there he is going away for a birthday celebration with his friends. My mothering is done for the day, I don't mind, I am happy because he is happy, so happy birthday James. We love you more than we could ever express.

So I am on my lonesome, not a bad thing, I can make a mess, cut up cloth, spread threads through the house. I can have fun making, playing and planning....and very exciting news...I have it on good authority that I am getting a FULL TWO PAGE SPREAD in the magazine...all my birthdays have just come at once!!!
