I didn't do anything special for Mother's Day but I still had a pleasant day. I had some lovely things off the girls, as Laura helps out at Brownies/Rainbows groups she had made a lovely plate for me. She had to write Mummy though because she used it to show the children what to do!! She also made the teapot card which had a teabag inside!! They then bought a lovely card, a lovely little cake (which I ate a slice of on my new plate) and a cute teddy that says number 1 mom!!
As Laura had to attend church that morning with the Brownie/Rainbow group I made the most of being able to get in her room and painted her door!! So no relaxing there!!I was able to spend some time stitching in the afternoon though. There have been times over the last week when I began to think I need to retire from stitching.... I have made so many mistakes, not just stitching in the wrong place but even using completely the wrong colour!! But after lots of unpicking all is well and good!!
I finally finished the "months sampler" cards for my order off Ebay. Here are the last 7 of them, the first 2 were for March so they have been sent already. I just have to mount them now....... thank goodness. I can now concentrate on other cards that need doing over the next month, the girl's birthday, my cousin's baby and if I have chance a birthday card for my Aunt Jean.
I haven't taken a photo of Henry yet, I will do that in the morning when the light is better. I did manage to start Anne of Cleves dress, her bodice is in browns and golds.
This week I must start Wedding Row, I had been waiting to get one of the Gentle Arts threads as I want to use a mixture of these and DMC like I did with the other Bent Creek one. The colour I wanted was out of stock for ages at my local shop but I finally managed to get it last week. I also aim to finish Lizzie Kate's Housework, and the Silver Wedding card is nearly done so I will work on that too tonight.
Thank you as always for reading my blog, hope you all have a good week.Ginnie x

I think that frog is going around. I thought someone from Australia sent it my way as I spent a great deal of time frogging lately. Maybe the frog is over the pond for a while!
Happy Mother's day! (ours is in May). Did your Mum like her card?
Can't wait to see Henry!
