Happy Easter

Happy Easter to everyone
Just got back from another girlie day and night at Rebecca´s ahead of Antoni´s return this afternoon.
So that was the last one as we know it, of course there will be many more but they will just be different.
We had to make a run to the recycling as the car was full
but we did manage to pack another four boxes, again with exclamations of why did I keep that to treasures heading us off down memory lane.
We have a habit of writing notes and leaving them to find later or finding a lovely card and giving it just because, so coming across quite a few of these kept us busy remembering with lots of love and nostalgia. 

Chris has been busy turning some of his photos into clocks to sell at Maria´s, they have been quite popular, just need more clock faces.

Rebecca wanted a print to frame of her Summer Angel, a chart from Lavender and Lace collection.
I secretly stitched this for her 18th birthday whilst she was away during the day at college, but I had to have a spoof one too as she would return home asking hom much I had completed of it, she used to say it was taking quite a long time, not knowing the other one was being frantically work on.
I started stitching in the February and finished with a week to go before her June birthday, it was framed and collected on her actual birthday, talk about squeaky!
It incorporated lots of beads which were time consuming but very worth while.
One problem is it is very large and extremely heavy so she doesn´t want to risk taking it with her at the moment, so next best thing, a print.

Enjoy Easter
take care

  1. It sounds like you're having some lovely time with Rebecca, making lots of memories which you can recall whenever you please, the very next best thing to having her close by. I'm sure there'll be lots of other new memories made too when you visit her in England.

  3. The angel stitching is just lovely and I can imagine it with beads etc. A print is great to take with. I do like those clocks that Chris is doing... very clever.

    1. Thanks Fiona, the postcards are really popular so he decided to try the clocks, sold three already. I enjoyed stitching the angel and am really pleased that Rebecca can have it with her in the UK xcx
