Happy Mothers Day

An early morning walk in the rain with my little dog, followed up by the best poached eggs for breakfast. A rather lovely start to a day at home for Mother's Day.

Hoping for a chance to sneak away to do some sewing and try out my new Mother's Day scissors. They are so much better than my old ones. Here they are with two more Irish Circles blocks.

I'm trying my hand at making Marina's hexagon pincushion, but it's trickier than I thought. It doesn't look like much here, but I think there is hope for a little finish later today.

My other Mother's Day gift is in the mail......a very exciting new book which I can't wait to get my hands on.

Wishing you all a happy and relaxing Mothers Day.

  10. sounds like you have had a lovely mothers day..
    lovely new blocks.
    Once you get the knack the pincushion comes together easier. It is a little fiddly stuffing and closing.
    Let me know if you need a hand....
