Embroidery & Birthdays

Hola! Long time readers will know that 'Do more needlework' was one of my new years resolutions.

This week I have had my embroidery threads out to create a masterpiece.

I'm not sure it can quite be classed as a masterpiece, but this is what I sewed:

On reflection, it would have been better if i'd have stayed away from the yellow thread, but I guess that is what winging it is all about. You live and you learn.

I have also had my birthday this week. I am now 22 and it's basically the same as being 21 but i'm loads wiser and I think a bit more wrinkly.

Here are some of my birthday presents:

Polkadot microwavable storage pots.

(they all fit inside each other like russian dolls too which is super)

One green cockerel egg cup, one pot shaped like a strawberry, 3 ceramic cupcake cases.

 Very cute little silver button earrings.

Brilliant red nose for my car.

(This has already proven to be immense when a little girl loved it to the max when I was at some traffic lights the other day)

Lovely vintagey looking sign of wisdom.

A cup, a cupcake cup. a CUP-cake. Hilarious.

On Tuesday it is pancake day which is one of my favorite days of the year when all I eat is pancakes and nothing else. Super excited!
