I didn't really have much of a thought about where this post is going so I have gone through my cameras ~ Nikon SLR Bridge, Canon point and shoot and phone. Oh the choices! So here are my pictures from the last few weeks.
A 60th Birthday card I made for a friend of mine. She is 60 going on 20, we have been to festivals, danced and shared a good old pint at Stroud Brewery many a day. Sadly there was no party, so family and friends recorded messages for her.
I sewed this card by hand, not free motion machine embroidery as I had hoped, not learnt yet!
Another card a few days later this time machined but not free motion, still not learnt, for my very own granddaughter, Baby Needles. I cannot comprehend how a year has gone by since she was born.
We had a socially distanced party in Miss Clicky's garden.
She has been closely inspecting her card.
It was lovely to be able to spend some with with her.
A week or so ago whilst I was outside enjoying the sunshine I heard a small plane engine. It was giving us a display. It was rising and falling and I dashed inside to grab my camera. It was incredibly fast and heart in mouth stuff.
Master Clicky joined me to watch and I said that I thought it looked like a heart. He regarded me in that way you humour your parents and told me it definitely was not.
We left it at that. The pilot finished having his fun and flew back towards Cheltenham.
A few days later what should I see? My friend Gill who lives 3 miles away was underneath the plane and confirmed it was a heart. I very smugly showed Master Clicky. Thanks Gill.
In the garden the Allium's flowers have fully opened up and it is stunning.
A pink
and white Astrantia.
This week's supermarket peonies.
Sigh. I love them so much. My white one hasn't flowered this year, I'm not sure why.
As Lockdown eases I venture out more. Some shopping trips have been really easy with pleasant staff but our local diy store will not be seeing me for some time. We'll leave it at that. Our weekly zoom knitting meetings continue and they are keeping me just about sane.
That's me for now, keep safe.......Clicky Needles.
Awww.. *H*A*P*P*Y* * *B*I*R*T*H*D*A*Y*!*!*!* for your darling granddaughter! I enjoyed catching up with your doings. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteYour handmade cards are really nice! I never thought of that before. Love the little banners across the top of each. Perfectly sweet and so clever! Well done. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell those peonies through the screen.
ReplyDeleteSuch adorable cards and what a darling little Baby Needles. Happy birthday to her!
I love the plane photos. :D
The flowers are so beautiful and so are your wonderful cards. Stay safe my friend.
