I've been given my first ever blog award! I was given it by the lovely Anne Gaal, whose blog is a wonder to behold - not only does she make the most wonderful cards, she very generously gives full instructions so that you can make them too! She also takes the most amazing photos - and if that's not enough, she has super giveaways.
Now comes the difficult bit - passing on the award! Oh, whom to choose? So here, in no particular order, are my five nominations:- Helen Sarah Anairam Gina Helen (yes, it's two different Helens!) - please visit their blogs (if you haven't already!) to see why I like them!
So, now that I've nominated you, here are the rules!
1. Cut and paste the award logo and use it on your own blog
2. Nominate at least 5 other bloggers that you think have become part of your circle of friends
3. Link to your nominees in your post
4. Include the instructions on how to pick up the award in your blog post
5. Link back to the person who gave you the award in your blog post, to show your appreciation
6. Comment on their blogs to let them know they've received the award.
Goodness me, after all that excitement, I need to lie down in a darkened room, but before I do, here is a much shortened version of what I had planned for today's post, telling you about my day yesterday
a very noisy goose keeping the Jacob's sheep in order
a fine fellow posing on the gate
a strange parcel arriving in the post
it's the special wires for blocking shawls, along with some pins and an extra long tape measure
Malcolm has gone to see his Dad, so a whole day sewing!!

Thanks again to the lovely Anne for my award! It has been such a busy week, that tomorrow's post is going to be about what we did on Sunday - hope you'll come back to read it!!
