New Forest Ponies

These are New Forest ponies, when we were in Hampshire we went to a little village in the new forest called Burley and these ponies were in the carpark and in several places around the village, they are allowed to roam free so you have to be a bit careful when driving through this area. The village was really pretty with lots of quaint shops and a nice pub garden where we had lunch where a sign said 'Please Cover The Sugar or The Ponies will eat it'.

The Birthday Boy

Here he is surrounded by pressy's and paper and sat in his new fishing chair, enjoying a cup of tea before he goes off to work, the cap was a pressy and he loves it. This man is the very best, he loves me, he loves his kids and he loves his home, if he's got a good word to say he never says a bad one he's kind, generous a real gem. Happy Birthday Tony.

Lovely Family Sunday

We have had a really lovely day today, my lovely family were all gathered here for a high tea to celebrate my husbands birthday which is tomorrow. We have had lovely hugs ,kisses and conversation and everybody enjoyed the cheesecake, I must say I was quite proud of myself it came out really well and tasted yummy. I finished quilting the yellow and white quilt and labled it and Kate has taken it home to put on the bed in her spare bedroom she loved it. She brought a headdress she has made for her wedding, she had seen them in the shops and they wanted £150 for them and she has made one and it is beautiful and has an antique brooch on it, a chip off the old block I think. The honeysuckle in my garden is beautiful and every night when we sit in the garden the smell is really overpowering. see you tomorrow.

A Good Haul





Hi, as you can see I have been to the Quilting Guild (Kisko) today there were some lovely things I found buttons and ricrac fabric and lots of bits and pieces I love the book I bought it is called Quilt yourself Gorgeous and it has lots of lovely things to make I particularly loved the Tea Cosy which I forgot to rotate so you will have to crick your neck to look at it and I also liked the oven glove I thought these items would be good for Kate's charity stall as the theme is Make Time for Tea (Ovarian Cancer Charity) I have heard from cottonreel who is stamping her foot because she is away for the Quilt Festival never mind I will get her goods.
