May day ramblings :)

Hi everyone :)  today we celebrate may day in the uk .... sooo I thought I would celebrate with lots of eye candy to show you .... not the male hunks that Joyze usually shows us hahahahah... but finally some stitching I can show you and other goodies whoop whoop ....
so grab a cuppa and a biscuit settle down and let the show begin ;0
Last Thursday Michelle celebrated her birthday and I stitched her a wee cushion .. bird in hand by BBD on some blue silkweaver (i think) fabric in two different dye lots of Midnight by Gast .... I managed to do the bird and the border in one and the branches in the other .... and then finished it mouse style with a matching chiffon bow :) She loved it Phew ...lol ..
and then she emailed me to tell me I had won her blog give away and it arrived on Saturday ... how lucky am I :)
We went to Bev's again on Thursday night and we celebrated Michelle's birthday with some wonderful buns that Bev had cooked with aero bubbles chocolates on top and lit a candle in her honour  .... Kate look away when you get to them heheheh ;)
I managed to send off the goodies to Catherine soo they are winging their way across the pond and hopefully she can stalk the postie soon ... also a RAK is on its way as well soooo when they arrive I will show you those then :)
I did some more stitching on my summer splendor while at Bev's and on Saturday I thought I am going to get this finished and I did  whoop whoop and not only stitching finished .... I finished it off into a no sew cube today using some lovely strawberry fabric that Kath gave me as a gift from when they went to the NEC last year :)
I've finished part three of my Dawn of Spring band sampler which I will show you next week as the parts go to the ladies this Thursday and I don't want to spoil it for them :)
 I've also done a wee design called "Panoply of singers" which would make a very nice needle case or pillow or pin keep.... only 60 x 40 size wise :) I will put a photo to show you and if you would like a pdf copy just email me  :0)


The weather hasn't improved much at the mouse house although the sun has shone for a couple of mornings and I've been able to get a couple of things dry on my wee line (most it can take is four tee shirts ) but I did take a few photos of the flowers improving in the garden for you all ....
