Oh my, a large dose of randomitis has hit today's post! The first photos are from last night's final of the Sewing Bee - stand by to swoon, it's the delectable Patrick!
when we got home yesterday, there were two interesting packages in the post. The first one contained this panel to make fun seaside bunting, which I bought here
I recognised the writing in the second package as being that of either of Malcolm's sisters, as their writing is similar. It turned out to be from his younger sister Judith. First, there was a picture from her last years's calendar
then a postcard of a David Hockney painting
the package was wrapped in what appeared to be plain brown wrapping paper - but look what was on the other side - OWLS!! This will be upcycled on to cards and gift tags!
the butterfly is still in the bathroom. I put some flowers in a little vase on the windowsill for it, but it preferred the cacti - which is a bit stupid of it as they are candles. When I went to take a photo this morning, it was sitting on the wall, in the bottom right hand corner of the photo (I was going to write about calling it Shanks, and if another one appeared it would be called McEwan, but I couldn't find a suitable link to put in, that Shanks and McEwan used to make sanitary ware ........ leading to the word shunkie, meaning toilet!!)
when I was getting ready to go to patch'n'chat, I saw a tiny long tailed tit in the garden, but despite my best efforts all I managed to capture were sparrows!
but don't worry, the attack of randomitis hasn't affected the Friday cake photo. Annette is on holiday, so her right-hand-woman Cathy baked a cake for us - chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream topping - what more could a girl need on a Friday afternoon!!
hopefully the randomitis will have been cured by Monday, when I will have my next report on the Aunts' Quilt. Stuart and Alison are coming down to spend the weekend at Berwick with us, as it is Mothers' Day on Sunday. No doubt we will eat too much and perhaps indulge in a glass or two of wine! Whatever you are doing, I hope you have a good weekend, love Anne xx
