Bird Embroidery Finished

Here he is in all his glory, I was really pleased with the way this little embroidery turned out, the birds body is all chain stitch and it was very effective, there is still a lot of work to do on my crazy quilt but it is starting to look good. Kathleen and I (cottonreel) went to a place called Nova Trimmings which is a large warehouse full of all sorts of goodies for crazy patchwork, we found pretty buttons and bridal bits and pieces, beads and lots of other stuff, you could spend a whole day in this place and still not see everything. I received my Spring magazine from Pat Winter and there are some truly beautiful things to look at and some nice things to make. Anyway as the sun is shining I am off to do some garden tidying.

Our Gorgeous Boy

Here are a couple of photo's of Jude these are some his first smiles, could'nt you just hug him.
We are so proud of this little boy he makes our hearts happy every day. His Mummy and Daddy are such lovely parents and live for their baby and each other, can you see some Red Roses in the background, a Valentines posy I think I think Kate received a card from the little boy in this picture, these are just mements to treasure.
