Beautiful

Hello everyone, today was my first day out and about, I went shopping with Kathleen to get some food for my very depleted cupboards, we also went to the garden centre and got lots of lovely plants I then collapsed onto the sofa in my summerhouse with a cup of tea, I kept hearing this funny squawking noise and all of a sudden there was a parrot in my garden he had lots of red on him, gosh ! he was noisy but very colourful he must have escaped from somewhere.

The two pictures are of a Bluebell wood in a village next to our village of Desford they are simply breathtaking, I took Kathleen to see them ans she moaned all the way around because there was'nt a coffee shop but she took lots of photo's too.

Sorry it's Been so Long!

Hello everyone, I am so sorry it's been so long since I posted anything but I have been a bit poorly, all over Easter and I am only just getting better, it was one of these awful virus's and it knocked me for six, never mind I am on the mend. The picture you see is of a quilt I have just finished, I took it around to Kathleens and we photographed it on her bed, I love hexagons this whole quilt was hand pieced and hand quilted the only bit of machining was to attach the binding, it's always a lovely feeling when you finish a quilt.
Well, did you all watch that beautiful Royal Wedding what a lovely day! lets hope they will be happy, I am sure they will be, he is much more of a man than his father will ever be, enough said.

Finished!

Hello! I have finished my cushion, do you remember Kathleen and I went to a workshop in March to do this cushion and I have finished it today. I am really pleased with it especially the cat, it was a lot of work there are so many little bits to cut and sew on but I think the finished product is worth it, there is a night time one which I would like to do and I suppose you could do an Autumn and Winter one too, it would look good with snow on the windowsills and the tree.

Lovely Weekend

Good Morning, what a beautiful weekend we have had in Leicestershire, Tony and I have spent it all in the garden weeding and seeding mowing and tidying and having a thoroughly wonderful time, with copious cups of tea and lots of chatting. The Tulips are looking good and can you see how the Primroses are starting to seed everywhere they are very pretty. When my shoulders, back and practically everywhere else started to ache I would get my sewing and sit quilting and watch Tony do the hard work it was a lovely time spent with my man and one of those times when you feel glad to be alive and healthy, such simple pleasures!

I am Having a Great Time

Yesterday I posted that I was getting frustrated because Idid'nt know how to add and move things around on my blog, well I am getting better and I have managed to add some buttons and I have moved some stuff around, now I want to find out how you add a button with a link to the blog, I can add the button but the link does not work so that is my next thing. I do love blogging but I see all your wonderful blogs and think "How Do They Do That" so now I am 65 yrs I had better find out. Hope you are all having a great day!

I am confused

Is there anyone out there who can help me. I want to have pictures and buttons down the sides of my blog but I don't know how to achieve this. I have fiddled about and put on a header and background that has taken me two days! Now when I look at all you ladies post pages you have buttons and pictures down the sides of your posts but if I try to put them on they either appear at the bottom or don't appear at all. Is it me, am I being thick? Please Help.

A Lovely Day

Hello all you Mums out there I hope you all had a great day!

My family came to visit and bring me presents and cards and we had a lovely day. I always think of my own Mum on Motherimg Sunday and how much I miss her, we always made a fuss of her on Mums special day and she loved it, as there were ten of us she always had a houseful and everybody wanted to talk at the same time so it was a noisy happy day. When I was a small child I can remember going to church and being given a bunch of primroses to bring home for my Mum it was lovely.
