Had a lovely day with hubby we ended up seeing "death at a funeral" very very funny.

Welcome to all the newbies - we are a wee happy family in here.

Everyone is progressing well. Glad your dad is home shelly. Ruth honey hope you have a great birthday - feels years since my 30th. I remember it because I was forced to work on it.

Well here is my update on golden earth





Will do my other wee bit for the big quilt when I get the materials.

Off to bed soon - feel very tired. Was all go at work today.

Kind wishes to all

that's fab news Shelly........... shame about the housework.

Thanks everyone for the good wishes for my Dad.
Big shame about the housework but my reward is getting back to stitching so it will spur me on!

Awesome2. No probs, glad I could help.

jlp123. Very cute pic!

Craftygranny. Making very nice progress on the calendar. I Love projects like yours that seem like lots of small projects that make one large one in the end.

PP. Love the flower pot & veggie project but can't even begin to guess what your WIP is going to be :rotfl:

Sweetcarer. Golden earth is coming along nicely.

Well I have finished the bookmark I have made for my niece. I adapted a picture I found, then added notes and the lettering. I laminated it, backed with a piece of wrapping paper...the pink felt I had was too thick (guess how I found out? )

I put it into a card ....................... here is the back



I am really pleased with this...now off to work out what I am going to stitch for DH for Father's Day....possibly!

Actually, my mum's cousin is 70 next week....so may do something for him instead...something personal methinks made up as a coaster/key-ring/fridge-magnet....will decide what later.

So doing well with my target for the month: both quilt squares and the bookmark done....must get some of the Astronomer done too....not sure if I will get the second page done finished though!

Right off to bed soon, will post piccies of my next project, once I have made it!

Night, night
