This is my little corner of the world where I will share my dreams and aspirations.I will chat about my beautiful family and ramble on about whatever takes my fancy especially my love affair with red and white polka dots. I have decided life is too short to feel pressure so my journey will be a relaxed one and if you want to join me for the ride I would be thrilled to have your company.‎

2 sleeps…..

Well the snow has melted and the weather is picking up and actually looking like spring isn’t far away. I have a lovely piece of “Daphne” sitting in a vase and the smell is absolute heaven. I will admit the snow was so pretty but wouldn’t want it all the time. I do love the rain though but fingers crossed there won’t be any of that over the next couple of weeks whilst we are away. Did I mention its only 2 sleeps?…….

This is what I came home to last night.

Isn’t this a beautiful sight. Beth decided she would make cup cakes for her class mates at course today and she made a beautiful job. Put me to shame! So what’s a Mum to do……..

Picked my little friend up from the framers at the weekend.

I am really pleased with the way he has come out all framed. The place I go to always does a wonderful job. So our darling wee Addison will have her “1st birthday” cross stitch just like her cousins did.

I couldn’t help myself though, I also bought her a sweet little purple fairy outfit from my friend Nik’s dance shop. She is going to look sooooo cute with wee wings etc. Hopefully lots of photos.

This is the lovely “Tea time” quilt which Melanie made for me for my birthday. Isn’t it gorg? Go to Melanie’s blog and you will be able to see much closer photos which she has put up in her latest blog post to see just how beautiful this is.

So lovely people I am going to leave you now and when I return hopefully I shall be all relaxed with my joy for life all in tact and spring is in the air.

Hugs in stitching and may the joys of spring start their sneaky little ways into your back yards also……  Debs x

I saw your gorgeous gift from Melanie on her blog. What a true gift from the heart and one I know you'll treasure forever. I just love Eeyore--we are big Pooh fans and have been known to break out singing The Wonderful Things about Tiggers...
