HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all UK mums!

It is a beautiful sunny and warm spring day here today,
just as if ordered specially. 



 
Big THANK YOU to my children and their spouses 
for a wonderful time yesterday at the historical  King's Arms in Dorchester
including Afternoon Tea,
(rubbing shoulders with ghosts of Thomas Hardy and his friends).

Just a quick catch up

Winter is still hanging on here, 
we had some of this earlier this week, thankfully just for one day in my part of England;


There are new plants patiently waiting to be planted into my new herb bed.


But there is plenty going on inside:

second part of applique border for Butterfly's Ball is finished,


and lots of 1 inch hexies to make flowers for one of the borders. 
I am little ahead of myself here, but they are so easy to make in the evening while watching TV.



And finally, I leave with a quote; 
most here in UK will know what I am talking about:

"If liberty means anything at all, 
it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."
(George Orwell)

Yes, it has been a busy week, and I am not talking only about sewing!
